Hollywood movies....Normally i just dont quite able to link them up with my life and those around me. Either that it will be too much of a fantasy but good for entertainment (think Spiderman) or closer to heart of Americans (think those teenage college life movies)
But. There's one recently and it does makes me think. It's "Click".
(If you had watched it, go to next paragraph)
In the movie, the main guy was given this remote control which empowers him to fast forward the part of his life which he doesnt like. But after all the fast forwarding, he realised that he had missed out alot in his life and the relationshops between him and his beloved one went downhill as he wasnt "there" most of the time. He regretted it and he had a sad ending (supposed-ly)
This movie does have an impact, and made me feel with it. Doesnt we all are similiar? Many a times we are so occupied with our work or studies that alot of stuff happened around us without our knowledge, just as if we had "fast-forwarded" that part...
Simple example: Today. Living Room.
Me: "Eh, where's that fan which our aunt had given us when we shifted house?"
Moither: "That one? Spoilt dont know how many years ago and thrown away already.."
Me: "Huh?"
So this shown how much I know about my own house. That at times i had to wonder where are the sissors kept. Not been around at much as compared to my old house.
This is only a simple example... There could be more serious implications... Like realising you havent spent time with some one, only after that person had passed away. Cos you had been too busy. You havent been "there".
So ideally, what we have to do now is just like the ending of that movie... Realising that family should be the priority, spend more time with family rather than work.
But it's really ideal. In this new society which is ruled by Captialism, it will not be that easy to achieve....so how?
Let's see what the future brings me.... lor.
Or perhaps i need Time Management courses when time comes.
