Aim for perfection. Never settle for mediocrity/compromise.
What does perfection mean?
It means developing an excellent character and unceasingly improving oneself (who one is and how one lives).
And maintain an attitude of generous acceptance toward all people, irrespective of their background or caliber.
These two qualities together make you complete.
This is what it means to be “like GOD” (or Christian)!

“Pity” (Greek)
I can watch stuff like this only on Mubi! No need for attending international film festivals anymore 😎
Happy only when miserable!
Am I like that??
But why is he like that? Can this quest actually help him to improve his life/self/world?
Is the ending a fantasy, or……?
Is it okay to be abnormal? To what extent should we just accept without trying to change things?
Wouldn’t it be even more pathetic to be full of self-pity and no one else to share it with?
“Upgrade”
Found it in the top 50 movies of 2018 – a Mubi editors’ list!
Guilty pleasure/cheap thrill 😜
A mashup of Venom & Ex Machina – better than the former but not as good as the latter
Compare with “Pity”! Was that one also a revenge film??
How is justice different from revenge? And what does a victim do when the law fails to deliver?
Yes! VR/dream/afterlife is less painful than actual life. But, does it mean that it’s also “better”? Just try to permanently live in the altered state, then you will see the hell within that too!

Jolie looks perfect for the part! She is the forbidden fruit and the sinister serpent in-one.
Banderas can act as a hapless & blind fool too!
Compare with Dostoevsky’s “Idiot” – the Christ figure
The glory and folly of love
Can love be separated from lust/desire & need/obsession?
Self-forgetfulness can be as destructive as self-absorption
Gender role-reversals – awesome!
“Widows”
Compare with “Original Sin” – intimacy, betrayal & redemption – this one is more subversive!
Never mistake feminine vulnerability for weakness! I have seen firsthand the tenacity of the female spirit (E.g. Chellam)
In the end, she (wife/mother) was stronger than him (husband/father) – she never gave up on “them”.
The ambient grief along with the audacious action was gripping indeed!
The male is more individualistic and the female is more relational. Therefore, when it comes to things like marital fidelity, she is unbeatable. The male is more of a solo survivor.
Friendship, in the midst of adultery, political corruption and racial violence
Female bonding – the company of God-forsaken humans form a community of mutual support, in the aftermath of the death of the Messiah!
– Today, I let a stranger, alleging to be a poor, needy man into the house. And bought the suit fabric he was selling.
I later discovered that I had spent double the price of what I got.
He could have even threatened & robbed us (my mother-in-law was also present)!
Although I keep talking/thinking about how I have become egoistic and nihilistic, I still remain a sympathetic idiot! 😖
Why??
Is there still a remnant of the old Christian ethic of “entertaining angels” in me?
Is it okay to get cheated when you want to help the other??

The tension between being true to oneself and preserving relational integrity
Truth-speaking + forgiveness = peace
Manchester by the Sea
OMG! One of the most poignant & pungent films I’ve seen…
Tragedy as therapy for depression!
I can identify with the hero’s self-loathing & rage.
The conversation between him & the ex-wife towards the end is heart-breaking & beautiful!
Sometimes, responding to the outstretched hand of another troubled sheep beside you is the only thing that can help heal your own wounds……

It’s very easy to say, “Why didn’t you just say No!?” & “How stupid and gullible can you be?!” when watching this from outside!
Compare such deadly pranks/scams with (so-called) harmless stuff like “candid camera”, “just for laughs”, etc.
