i took a day off from work today, just to chill and bought a DVD just to watch and relax. And i ended up buying this movie called SUPER.
Shows about an average joe, Frank (Rainn Wilson) being dumped by his wife and she choose to her old life of drugs addiction with a drug tycoon. Frank's wife was one the only perfect thing that has happened to him, the rest of his life of pretty much rejection and humiliation. He then decide to save her wife back fom her old ways such as confronting the tycoon, reporting to police etc, yet all fails.
The break up of his wife have depressed him so much that his fantasy of being a superhero (the chosen one) have made he to the take up the choice to fight evil, (there's this scene where he fantasize so extremly that he saw a vision from 'God's angel' to become the chosen one to fight crime) the ultimate villain of cause of the drug tycoon. And the ultimate goal was to bring her wife back from her old ways.
So, there begins his journey of fighting crime in the street. He started small, with only a suit and mask, he started to clear crime in his neighborhood with of cause up and down. With no superpowers, super gadgets or even self defense training, nothing but the will of saving her wife back and the help/sacrifice of a sidekick, Libby (Ellen Page) have finally bought her wife safely into her hands.
However, the twist in this story is at the very end of the story, where her wife and him did not live happily ever after. :( why you ask ?? After the life risking, and death of friend just to get her back, the relationship only lasted for a couple of months and that too is because out of obligation.
Sounds pretty sad huh? Well, maybe a reality check for those who are in a relationship right now, some time sacrifice that might cause a life for a relationship, might not result a lifetime relationship. But that's beside the point.
the story ended with the wife left to persuade her studies, in secondary school and college, pick up a course in psychology to help out people that have been through the same path as her and move on with a family of 4 children. She reach the highest peak of her life, being successful and happily ever after. So what about the HERO, man? He eventually move on because he understand this,
God have chose Him to save his former wife from her reckless living, and using him to give her a second chance. It is because of the blood shedding, life risking, tears and love that leave her an impact so hard to break her from her old ways. That was God's plan for him. The guy behind the scene to build a real hero (her ex-wife) to change the society.
Its funny how, we do not get the credit/reward we deserve after helping out people sometimes, and it hurts and disappoint more especially if its someone we been trying to get attention from or please, or just simply love and care about. But just because your sacrifice was not recognize, it doesnt mean it did not leave any impact on the person your offering help to. Plus , helping someone it was never about the return or the reward u will receive, it was always to help someone to achieve what is better/greater.
Feeling unappreciated lately? cheers mate, welcome to reality.The culture of society have made people to be self focus, to the extend we will not invest in anything else that doesnt benefit ourself, this is reality. But the heart of human, have made us different from others, we undefined reality. Now, if u understand what i'm trying to say here, what i'm trying to say is it doesnt really if u get fucked and screwed after trying to help someone, so long ur intention is good, it has planted a seed that will grew a tree of goodness.
