Whoops... missed a day in blogging. A beginner in the blogging community and missing a day just 2nd week into blogging.. Not off to a good start am I ?

Anyway, I watched a movie yesterday titled ' Rosencrantz and Gildernstern'. It's one of those movies where you have to concentrate listen to every word that is uttered or you will be bored to death and very lost as to where to movie is heading. The movie was a tale about 2 men.. Rosencrantz and Gildernstern who was summoned to the courts to aid their very sick and perhaps demented friend Hamlet. Yes.. Hamlet. The deranged soul was causing trouble in the courts because his mom the queen, had wed his uncle after the death of his father. No one knew for certain that he was mad or not.

Anyhow to sum it up , the movie encourages lateral thinking and makes you wonder about things like ' What's the probability of getting heads 172 times upon tossing a coin continuosly ?' ' Is every exit an entrance? ' and ' If every exit were an entrance then why should it be called an exit or an entrance at all ?' The 2 men in the tale were wondering from the very start of the movie the reason for their travel to the courts. They believed that because at every toss they had obtained heads, there must be some higher power in control of things and an end that they were heading to. In the end both the men lost their lifes because they were hung. The closing statement by Gildernstern was if all could have been avoided had they turned down the summons to court.

It was a throughly tiring and confusing show but definitely one that sets the wheels of the mind thinking. I'm probably not very good at explaining the details of the movie but I will say if you are interested in bombarding your mind with philosophical thoughts and questions then this will be your cup of tea. If you are looking for a mindless movie with simple and expected plots then steer clear of this one. It will send you to sleep in the first 10 minutes of screening.

What amazed me most about the show was how much thought the characters put into every thing that happens. So many questions were asked but many were left unanswered. Reading so much into every word and action is tiring. I'm certain some of us as we grew up had many mind boggling questions in our heads that perhaps till now have been unanswered. I guess we just have to accept the fact that the human mind does not know all nor is able to obtain logical answers for all. There are things that we just can't understand. It's kinda like a computer that doesn't have enough memory and needs upgrading . Unfortunately in our case we can't be upgraded to understand the mysteries of life. No matter how much we try to create a logical explanation for everything we will never get it right. I do think that it may not be all that wise to read so much into actions and thoughts as well. Ignorance is sometimes bliss. Questioning may cause us to lose sight of that which is obvious to all who had not given much thought to things and had taken the most logical solution out of something. We may miss the whole purpose of life just by questioning too much.
