This follows the earlier DDLJ post and the discussion in the comments. I have been thinking about something. Apparently it was not just me who wanted Raj to stop Simran, ok i hate saying simran in this situation so... SRK to stop kajol :) so i am going to take a wild guess and assume that most people wanted that. most people would want that in a movie scenario. But the question is how does that map out to real life?
movies are a fantasy, a means of experiencing a situation that might probably never happen to you in real life, for those few moments you can be these people and you can let yourself feel all that they feel, you can want them to take the risks you cannot take yourself, you can want them to do and say things you do not have the guts to do or say in your own lives. That is the draw of cinema. Letting you live an entire life in proxy.
But things are different in real life now aren't they? Would we suggest our friends to take such decisions in real life? if it were a friend of mine standing on that railway platform would i tell him to go after her, if Kajol was my friend, would i tell her to stay, go to this loon she just knew for a week or go home, marry this guy her father wants her to? Seriously what would we do?
you don't have to answer the question to me, in fact you do not even have to answer it to yourself. you already know the answer. we have all been in that situation, we know exactly the advices we gave. I know what I said.
bheje ka ilaj kar, pardhai me dimag laga. It sure sounded like good advice at the time.
is there a disconnect?
we think it is hard for Raj to go and stop her but he should, he should get over himself and just say this to her, but to a friend we say you know what, it is hard to forget her, but you should, just get over it and do what you should do.
should. right.
God help the friends who took my advice. I hope they don't hold it against me.
