The God Father

Just finished watching "The God Father" Trilogy. No doubt it's a classic. We can learn a lot from these movies. I learnt a few too. The first movie is about the life of the Mafia leader. The distinction he keeps about Personal and Business is perfect. His plans for his sons are always worth noting. Different plans for different sons with different attitude. Amazing movie. I couldn't understand much of the second movie. But it's a portrayal deep inside the family. Perfectly done. Then I saw the third movie.

All I was thinking from the start till the end of the movie was "How is he going to die?". And then at the end, he dies. He dies by the worst way he could have ever feared. Such an emotional movie. No one could have ever imagined it. I wonder if any one of the million viewers of the movie would have thought like that. If they had, then they ought to be the most cruelest thinkers in the world. The movie told me something again and again. Whatever you dream of, however you try to shape your path, you always have to open only the closed pandora's box which you never know whats inside. The path is already laid for you and you can just choose it. Not create it. That is life. How well you choose it lies with you. But you are not the creator to make your own path. It never works that way. One who thinks he creates his own path is not seeing the path that's already there. He never created it. He just found it. Therefore, though we are masters of our own destiny, we are indebt to the One who created it.
And then I learnt one more thing. You don't have to shoot someone to kill him. You just have to kill his heart. He will suffer a painful death. For in the soul, the body lives. But its in the heart, the true spirit lives.Amen.
