Be Bewitchedd~
Haha..I went to catch the movie “Bewitched” with my colleagues @ PS today, that’s why. =P It’s the kind of light-hearted show that I like to catch nowadays especially, it lifts your spirits and gives you the “feel-good” feeling after the show. ;) And my favourite Hollywood actress, Nicole Kidman didn’t disappoint me too; she brought the character (Isabel Bigelo) alive with her superb acting skills and certainly added a lot of colour to the show. She’s one charismatic woman who shines with style and radiates confidence..I absolutely love her! Well. the movie overall was not bad, I’ll give it three stars out of five! =D
Besides getting a good laugh out of the 2 hour show, I learnt some interesting lessons for myself from ths story too! (Ya this was a surprising reward, I had expected nothing more than a good laugh actually.=p ) Isabel’s strong desire to be normal was rather thought-provoking for a normal person like me, watching the show. Besides the fact that the story is purely fictitious, it does provide a brand new perspective from which we can view our lives with, which is very much different from the way most of us normally do. Also, it serves as a useful indicator for us to reflect on our attitudes towards our lives once in a while..
Isabel wishes so much to be normal, but to normal people like us, we probably cannot appreciate what’s so good about that. And this teaches us something important - that no matter how ordinary we might be, we are still luckier than someone else in some way. We may not know it now, but it stands true; that you will always have something that someone else doesn’t, and this something is what we ought to be thankful and happy for - simple things that make us a happy and contented person. =)
Getting into a quarel with someone, like your friend, colleague or loved one. Or trying to get some work done only to get stuck and you have no idea how to pick up the mess. Or simply having a bad hair day. These are just some examples of some of the last things we would want for ourselves. while the list goes on. We DON’T enjoy them, we hate them. But apparently Isabel thinks that these are the real blessings in life (well, that’s because she’s a witch so she doesn’t get to “enjoy” all these wonderful stuff!)
Well, “wonderful” as it is, this idea does sound strange and maybe alittle illogical, but I think it’s fresh and I really like it! All these little little episodes are part and parcel of life, we’d definitely experience them at point in time. We see them as BAD things, and yes this is true to a certain extent since they are really not-so-desirable things. Though they may be frustrating for a moment and we complain/grumble to let it all out, maybe we should also recognise that these are the things that spice up our lives, and we learn to cope better! If everything in life is so smooth-sailing, it’ll be soo BORING. It’s nice to look at life from this angle and be bewitchedd. We start brand new, and we learn to love BOTH the ups AND the downs in life..all of them! ;P
