Yesterday out of sudden I decided to watch this movie "Kannathil Muthamittal" by Mani Ratnam sir..This movie was released when I was still young so I probably wouldn't have understood the gist of the story back then..It has to be noted that this movie is indeed a masterpiece..There is a reason why I choose to say so..This movie speaks about a child who was born to a Sri Lankan mother, the mother had to leave her due to the heavy responsibility she has back in motherland...she was then adopted and taken care by Indian parents..Her dad explains to her that she was adopted when she is old enough to know and it portrays how she longs to see her biological parent..Now after many years as I was watching it I could understand the deep emotions involved in a family and I would say all the casts have done a good job by bringing live to those characters on the script..I also have to highlight here the performance of the girl who acted as 'Amutha', cause at such young age she is able to take up such a heavy role and was able to live up to the needs of the character..I probably wouldn't have been able to do that at that age..and of course all this wouldn't be possible if not for Mani Ratnam sir's brilliant script.. A.R.Rahman's music just lighted up the whole movie and my personal favourite is Oru Dheivam Thantha Poove by Chinmayee and Vellai Pookal by ARR himself..
After watching the movie, something in me wanted to know what really happened in Sri Lanka..Why were they subjected to such manner..So I did Google, found and learnt so many things about Tamil Eelam.. I would say the cruelty in the name of war and how such heartless people have carried out genocides.. Frankly speaking, I was angry with myself cause I weren't aware of all these happening maybe cause I was just too young..but What was everyone else in the world was doing??..day dreaming? If at all this issue was brought to light and with all the support of thousands or even millions of people worldwide, maybe we could have saved all those innocents children,women who were subjected to rape and brutal execution and all those who were hurt and couldn't even run but had to sit and watch till the bombs hit on them..some of them watched their father, mother or sisters bleed to death.. Were there any International Alarm carried out to order that country to stop conducting such act? were there any embargoes set against this country and all the trade ceased?..No I don't think so..This matter didn't get as much international recognition like how Gaza issue got the spotlight and due to that innocent people who just wanted a place to live were let to die with no medical supply, no food nor water supply and constant bombards and shelling..and yet the people who are responsible for all this still out at large..Maybe its politically driven, I don't know or I just don't want to comment about it..but are we so selfish???...I guess the more educated we are, the more selfish we become and the only thing matters to us is,this three things "MY family, MY money and MY life!" or maybe more, I got no clue but what I can be sure of is that it all will start with the word MY!...I would like to take a moment of silence and pray that all souls that have been lost during this war rest in peace..
I have a friend who's father died in his arm of bullet wounds.. its injustice.. we know its not right, a lot others as well but the people in power they are the ones who are making these decisions..whether to take action or not.. till we could be in power, our voice will be just another noise..
ReplyDeleteWell I strongly believe that WE rule the world...Where will these people be without our votes??..so they must certainly listen to us..but if the voice is coming from one individual of course it will be considered as noise..but if every one of use realize and stood up against cruelty..to create peace and harmony in the world..But sadly it has to be highlighted that great powers in the world 'feed' themselves through wars..in other words killing innocent civilians to gain more power..Till all this exists we shall never see peace in the world and Human Rights will always be violated..Everyone just would tend to overlook and move on..But the families of the deceased will always have the black memory on their mind..shall never get the trauma out of them..All this are very easy to say but hard to be practiced..but at least we can try..
