This Monday I saw the film "Hitman" starring Timothy Olyphant . This Movie is based on the video game with the same name and is full of violence. There are numerous scenes full of blood.
I kind of liked this movie, as I did like similar movies in the past, some of them include Kill Bill, Departed, and almost all the war movies. Now, after watching the movie I was kind of amazed by the agility with which the main character agent 47 kills people. 47 is above human beings in terms of athletic ability as he along with other Hitman was operated back in there childhood to a considerable change in there chromosome .
So, was it the extra-human ability of the Hitman that was affecting or kind of mesmerizing me , or was it something else?
Human being always like what they we don't have. What we already have is within the reach of our hand, we just need to stretch it.
But what we don't have gives us a sense of challenge, or at least remain attractive and keep us longing.
The other day I was talking to Mr. Norman Robinson, one of our business client in UK, who was very disturbed by the continuous bad weather in the county, and wanted to come to India for vacation as the weather out here does not remain as cold as in UK.
I am sure if someone from India is given a chance to go UK on a holiday, would never decline. The cold weather is really tempting for someone living in a place with a temperature of almost 30 degree celcius most of the time in the year.
Coming back to Hitman, I can figure out that the reasone I liked the movie is the same which makes me like or sometime fantasies about movies like Spiderman, Batman, Superman or other immortal character's flicks .
Does it not mean that I am still a child by mind! But a film full of blood can seldom be a child' choice.
Moreover, am I or are WE not satisfied with what powers or we normally possess?
Are we in a way ashamed of what we lack?
I think there is no collective answer to that.
