Kites

Last week I randomly picked out this dvd at ruins called Kites. I love foreign language films and my curiousity was piqued when I read the synopsis of the movie. It was about a tempestuous love story between an Indian man and a Mexican woman. Sounded good to me. Well as it turns out, I absolutely loved it. Love it. I have watched it non-stop since, and I have done great research on the lead actors Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori. They had unbelievable chemistry on the screen I almost wished it was real. The story is so beautiful, honest, passionate, and simply about two human beings connecting at the soul level. It made me hope, and made me believe that yes, there is someone for us. Someone who will see us, understand us, accept us. The music was excellent and I have it on my playlist already.

The lead characters fascinated me completely.

I had spent many hours researching on the lead man, and I have of course discovered that he is a family man, and quite devoted too. It was interesting to listen to him speak about important issues in his life. He's not only beautiful outside, but quite arresting in entirety. His complexities, desires, aspirations are a mirror of what all human beings need to go through in order to reach their highest potentials.

Barbara Mori, the lead female on the other hand embodies the sentimental and passionate nature of latin people. She seems to function 95% by heart. It is a reminder that this life we have should be experienced through our hearts, if we are to leave our mark in this world.

Nothing ever happens by chance, and picking up that DVD has taken me on a rollercoaster ride into my soul. It's been wonderful.Maktub.
