True heroes never lead good lives..
After watching the movie "Blood Diamond" today, I feel so unjust and upset.. because Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio) died while trying to change the world.. True heroes really are admirable, they sacrifice themselves and are willing to be misunderstood. That selflessness and kindness, is something I wished I had... ):
I want to be a hero!! (:
Although the ending was rather depressing..
I also found it really touching.
Especially the part when the father hugged his son.
Although the son, being a child soldier, has killed countless people, taken so many lives..
his father still forgives him, simply because he is his son.
I felt tears prick my eyes at that scene...
"I am your father and you are my son. Always. I will love you, always.."
I was reminded of the biblical story "The Prodigal Son" in Luke 11:15-32
The son, belonging to a very rich family, decided to leave the house while taking a huge sum of money with him to waste his fortune on wild living. He squandered it all, and fell so low.. that he even had to steal food from pigs in farms. One day, he was reminded of his father and decided to go back to his father. His father, upon seeing his return, was overjoyed and did not care how he looked like or how much he had let him down. To him, his son has returned and that's all that matters. They embraced and a party was a thrown to celebrate his return.
God, I know you used the movie to talk to me.
Father, I am your son.. I'm sorry for all the sins I've committed.
All those times I let you down.. All those times I gave in to the devil..
Still, you came and embraced me in your arms.. And told me you love me.
Even though I know very well that an idiot like me doesn't deserve any of this.
