I read the reviews about the “This Is It” film especially the twitter messages from Dame Elizabeth Taylor.  She said, “God blessed him and squandered nothing, but loved it all. Michael knew how to put together every tone, every nuance to make magic. And we have this piece of film to remind us forever and ever that once there was such a man. God kissed him”. She recommends people to see this film again and again.

I would love to watch this film in the theater. But, I am also afraid that I might break down and cry. I am worried that I might feel depressed for the next few days or longer. I was never involved in MJ ’s life personally. But, I can relate to his life in certain ways.

I do not know the truth. But, I think that there has been some amount of misjudgement. The world seems to be getting worse and worse. People are more money-minded and selfish. The religions of the world predicted “Doomsday” and the prelude to it was one of this characteristics….people would be more selfish, more injustices and the list goes on.

So, shall I go? Can I watch the film and not feel depressed for this wonderful person who was named Michael Jackson, and the situation of the world and its people at large?

What do you think?

PS-I just came across it. I still have a chance to watch this film in DVD/Blu-Ray/UMD(I do not know what Blu-Ray and UMD stand for!) whenever I feel like it(maybe years later?). You can make a pre-order for these stuff at Amazon. You save 38% for pre-order compared to the “list price”. But, of course, it is still more expensive than watching the film at the theater. LOL.

Are marriages really made in heaven? I wonder. What makes a good marriage? Is “love at first sight” everlasting? Do the people who “fall in love” before marriage continue to  stay “in love” after marriage? Is there such a thing as “falling in love” and “living happily ever after”?

When we start asking these questions and look around at the married and divorced people, we wonder. There are many so-called love marriages that have failed. I know of a love marriage that failed just after 2 weeks. They dated for more than 2 years.

In my opinion, real love is universal love…the love that you have for your mother, your father, your brother, your friend, etc. It is the same sort of love for different relationships, with different ways of communicating and expressing. What do I mean by “same sort of love”? A love that is more selfless, more accepting of the other person(knowing the weaknesses, faults, etc. and accepting the person as a ‘package’), a love that is more giving, sharing the tears and joys, etc….
