Hmmm.....most of my post is about film. Oh well....one more won't hurt.

Remember, remember

The Fifth of November

The gunpowder treason and plot

I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot

^_^

I'm just back from watching V for Vendetta. For me, I like it very much. Have many political idea behind it but that's alright. Usually I don't want to get near anything about politic, that's kinda bad since we have to know what's going one around us, don't we? V for Vendetta story is about revolution against a totalitarian British government (dictator if you prefer). This idea of revolution brought by a a masked vigilante with a code name V. And of course what's a hero without a partner. Behold Evey, an ordinary woman, damsell in distress, rescued from a life-and-death situation by V. The rest is history (what you don't expect me to tell the whole story, don't ya?)

I wonder....this movie made me remember what hapenned in my country before. When the college students all around Indonesia strike to overthrown the government at that time. In unity we shall prevail! Prevail indeed. The trigger however is the shooting that happened in one of the university at that time. The shooting cause several student dies. No one knows exactly who shooting them. Many believe it's their government troops that send to 'calm' the student down. Many student being abducted, many missing and don't know what become of them. Our prayer is with them. After that shoot, then come chaos. Chaos that we can't forget even if we want to. It's a scar that remind us that people can be dangerous when they're mad. I'm sure this is not what the students wants but after that we then realise that you can't be a dictator for a long time and people should not keep silent. When they realised that, the course of the future flipped. It's true my country still try to get up after nasty fall but at least we know that it necessary to bring an end to tyranny. There's some line from the movie,

The people should not be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of their people

The truth is we're pretty much afraid of each other. Afraid of being rejected or afraid to love or afraid just because the other person made us scared. People with power usually either being comfortable with guards surround them or life every day afraid that someone might thrown them away from their power. Sometimes...we're so tired to be afraid, so tired to be overshadow by something we can't understand or to afraid to reveal. But when we found a reason, an idea to believe in, we'll survive and further more, we're free. If you believe in love and you experienced it, even when you feel pain you remember that you're being loved before, and no one can take that away from you. Remember, each time you said you love someone, what you said could save that person soul. Cause there's hope in love. It's true that love bring weakness to us because that's mean we need someone, but from weakness come strength to protect someone. That kind of strength could overcome pain and fear.
