Yesterday, I saw 'Perfect Murder' (cast : Michael Douglas, Gwenyth Paltrow, Viggo Mortensen). If you are a lover of classics, and have not seen the movie, you have not missed much. And those who have watched this crap, ahem! movie, do catch up with the original one. Extremely irritating, was to see Michael Douglas act. Looked like a cow, trying hard to chew. And the 'key' part - was somehow lost. I never knew people use the same key for the backdoor and front door. Seems out of place. It was such a failed attempt. What I saw, was a perfect murder of the classic 'Dial M for Murder' from which it claims to have been remade. What finesse, the latter had, with definite originality and subtle storytelling, not missing the intricacies. Certainly one of Hitchcock's best.
*period*
My friend and myself, we were having an extremely long conversation that sparked up some interesting theories that could have happened in the past. The thought grazes randomly.
Who made the rules, who made the boundaries, who made restrictions? Everything is man-made. Nothing was installed into you the second you were born. We were not in matrix. So whatever values we hold, the judgement of good and bad, all comes out of our family, our society, our community. So in that case, books like Bhagavadgeetha/ Bible/ Kuran and other -way of living books, did not fall from heaven. When earth was formed- either scientifically by black hole or by God in seven days (let there be light!), there were humans. And they survived. On basics. They did not have rules/restrictions. Probably one human fell off from a cliff and never returned back, they decided that they should not go near that. But whatever it was, they believed in what they could see and feel, they survived on what they could eat, all satisfying basic needs. And man was happy. He lived. He learned how to hunt, dig, attack, build from watching other creatures in his surroundings. Whatever posed danger to him, he tried to kill or ended up getting killed. Communication started. They would have named each one with the most simplest sounds. Now, this is the theory. One day, a man from that community, protects the others, maybe by warning that a big green hungry dinosaur was coming by this way. He probably jumped and pointed and rolled and acted every gesture by saving the whole community. That day, they were saved by this one person. So they made him the chief and heaved him with gifts- most probably bone necklaces, one big tooth and several lizard skeletons (treasures of those times)[Random question-Who decided that gold is the most worthiest]. He sun-basked (literally) on those praises. And maybe, maybe this human's name was 'God'. Thats where probably God's word spread around. He became famous as his story was told again and again with more exagerations (with the more jumping and rolling) to every generation. And his "herodom" tripled by the fold and finally, making him invincible and superhuman. Then they made sculptures and paintings to be reminded of him everytime they went to hunt.
Coming back to the first few notes, There was no scriptures then, and man was peaceful. Now we have as many 'guides to god'. Why are we still uneasy. Has not refined and polished technology brought us more woe. Now and then we play hypocrites. Warding it off as some unknown disease. Smiling when we dont want to. Sometimes, people whom we term selfish are actually better off, because, they know what they want and they do it for themselves. And we claim to help, heed to others finally ending up sometimes more unsatisfied. So again, everything is man-made. Wars are.
Think about this situation. Hovering about basics. God/science made earth. Meant that nobody has claim in it whatsoever. If it belongs to one, it belongs to all (including other creatures). And vice-versa. Can you ever term that any particular star is yours? You cant. So, how dare we make boundaries and claim it as 'this is mine and that is yours'. And not only did we stop there. We were selling earth/land and paying the government. So when did this start - that earth belonged to government? Anyways, now we have land to claim that it is ours. Nature brought food. We plucked it from there, and sold it and made money. Only then did we water the plants. What about travelling? Well, you need Visa. Who decids that you are allowed/give permission to travel to other places around the world? Nature decided that only particular animals could live in particular habitats. But we transported the animals everywhere creating artificial temperature, plants and environs. Whom are we cheating? We destroy the forests, and build more homes, pay taxes, use resources. And when the animals, previously living in those forests, enters the area, we kill them - Headlines claiming " Animals enter human territory(!). Duh. Just because, they cannot talk.
We were given 6 senses. For, God only knows what (pun unintended).
