Nice movie outing with Children class teacher on Sunday! Caught the show "After Shock" and we are got emotionally shock! haha!
It was a show about how the survivors of the quake continue their lives and struggling with the sorrows of their families lost in the quake. Some nice moments to share!
There was this scene where the mother can only choose to rescue either the sis or the bro. In the end, just before the rescue team wana give up on the indecisive mother, the mother choose to save the bro. And the ending, there was another similar case where the mother choose to saw away her child's leg to free her and not to worsen the other victims life. I believe these decision to a mother is tough. Its akin to making a dying decision.
Sometimes in a more siblings family, some will feel that the mother was not fair or being better to the other child. But this show clearly showed that a mother would never practise favorism since all are her child. And if she can die for them she will gladly choose to. Since losing anyone is dying to her.
There is this scene where the husband choose to push her wife away and go alone to rescue the kids. I thought it was the true projection of true love. Willing to scarifice for his love ones.
The show sets you gripping your chair since the first few scenes and will knock your emotions very hard. It makes you realise the meaning of uncondition love. All this sweet nothings about loving each other will get tested when such disasters strike. All our pursue of personal interest gets crumbled with the buildings.
Large part of the show is also about the gal resenting her mum. But upon knowing the truth and seeing her old and fray mum, she was very regretful. Family is not jut a home for our bodily rest but also a place we felt save for our emotions to take refuge. There should never overnight quarrels and hatred among the members as it always hurts the most. Sometimes hatred is sustained even by misunderstanding due to not airing out our opinions.
The show end with a song "心经"by Faye Wong. I thought it suits the show really well. In understanding emptiness, we know how worldly possession gets lose very easily. By realising emptiness, reconstructions can be done and families can be rebuilt.
We learnt not seeking help from higher powers in time of need but we learn by understanding our sufferings and grow up from these sufferings. Only then we develop as a whole in a wholesome way and not relying on external factors.
