Reflection of Queen Movie
I have a vivid memory of watching Queen movie again at FS. I had already seen this movie before but I am thankful that I saw this movie again because I was more cheerful and relaxed…and lighter I think…
Before the movie, we all were asked to write about our fears and probable reason why we have that fear, from when and related details…I too wrote about this one fear that I have…correction…had; of not trusting men in my personal life beyond a point; of course barring the family. This was the only fear that was hidden deep inside my soul and because there was never any need to address it, I never worked on it intentionally…but the life classes don’t spare you and thus, here I was again facing this fear and compelled to think that why all these years I didn’t really address this fear…what stopped me… By the end of the movie, I found the answer…
I love the end scene of the movie when the female actor returns her ring to her ex-fiancee and with a great relief leaves his home. I also love this scene when in the middle of the conversation the female actor gets up and say that she needs to meet her friends as she had promised to be with them instead of continuing the conversation with her ex-fiance in the cafe. The director has beautifully shown a journey of how a small town girl whose world revolves around her fiancee only when faces the betrayal and adversity, she gradually gets up, gathers her strength and not just goes for her honeymoon alone…but faces her demons, complexes, fears, identifies her strengths, make friends, take decision independently, laughs, lives and love herself more than anyone. This is me…absolutely…completely…totally…Eureka… The first thing that I did after reaching home is that I messaged one only male friend that I wish to meet him and need to talk… We met, I spoke and confessed whenever I made excuses to not to meet him alone without my husband accompanying me or his wife or not talking for long over the phone or not sharing my concerns…my life…he patiently heard me and said…I knew all this but I was trying so that you can accept me too just like you have accepted my wife…
The story doesn’t end here…I have now one more very close male friend…and all this because I left the baggage behind just like the female actor did…I am all set to restart the journey…
