There is a movie that has caught my attention. I watched it back in the year 2013.
I don’t usually watch movies, but this one seemed to have caught my attention a great deal.
There is a certain guilt that rests within me since that year, for this was my failing (and concluding) year (= delayed graduation) and a lot was happening to me and around me. It is not very hard to imagine, though, how easily one may be circumscribed with a failing grade in an oral exam when the mouth refused to speak. It was like an emotional whirlwind.
But now, I use this failing opportunity to highlight my Father's help, with the mighty support of His Holy Hand who helped pulled me through my emotional discord, to discipline the mind and steady the heart to work through efforts to receive an honours mark on my repeat exam. I give Him the glory, for He carried me through when I thought I just could not go on much further. I experienced my Father's willing Hand at work and power in that season of emotional turbulence.
It is only now that I have decided to resurrect this movie and watch it again, trying my best to watch it in a much more relaxed state, from where I reside In the Shadows of this Life.
I still have a fear of watching movies, because I link the activity to my failing moment. I work myself up now to release this guilt that I have carried with me for so long a time now.
I take much pleasure in highlighting this particular movie. It speaks great volumes. This film describes a scene where persons from various cultural and professional backgrounds are gathered together in one room for one purpose and one purpose only: to win.
It makes an interesting read, for each personality tells their own story and this interests me the most. I enjoy studying the personalities of others and the reactions elicited when they all combine and coalesce. After all, Chemistry is my favourite subject. Though what intrigues me the most is to watch the dynamics come to life when people combine.
But this film features more than just the expected. It truly probes the heart and the mind to see how far someone is willing to go for the soul objective of winning.
By no means is it a film for the fainthearted. For there is much action and intensity, yet cleverly crafted. Though it makes for great entertainment, through this film, I see real life play out as if drafted on the chess board of life. That is why I have shared it. I hope that the one who sees consumes the film for what it’s worth!
