Yesterday I watched the movie “Eastern Promises”.
Underworld, criminal syndicates and mafia… always fascinated me. They do not try delving in to the cryptic side of my criminal streaks. But I truly am fascinated with their ability to absorb and react to any given situation in reaching their objective. Like any other predator they do pray on the weak and their weakness. They also realize their own weakness and try swiftly to cover it and come up.
The tight rope walk between exorbitant reward and extreme perils they encounter on daily basis makes them suspicious like a hungry rat towards anyone and anything that they confront. At the same time virtues like loyalty and sacrificial fanatism makes them most powerful against the prevailing forces of moral and legal brigades.
I do not support their means however… in making their life and creating their power bases. This perhaps is the imbecile nature of mine as in comparison to anyone who does not approve their chosen way of life. Or perhaps because I am mightier in my sense of contentment that ensures no exploitation on others.
The perennial war between good and evil sometimes reverses roles. Good can invade evil through people who are branded Bad. And bad could hit back at good in the guise of good. The fine line in distinguishing good for others and good for self is often obscured and there enters the irreversible evil that can not allow anyone to extricate themselves later.
Vor V Zakone – The Russian Mafia shown in this movie hath exhibited similar traits that were shown by another underworld clans around the world shown. Its ironic to watch the father’s brilliant plan to save his son from imminent death of son's and son’s devotion to father even in killing an infant to protect his father. Certain moments in this movie makes you believe that there is no such thing law, morals or compassion in this world save for raw power and those who are poised to enjoy it the way they wanted.
And soldiers of truth also get entangled in this web to the extreme that they just could breathe a little to feel righteousness in their lungs. Could just open their eyes now and then to save meager possibility to push someone away from the harms way. The bigger machines and bigger pictures would always engulf and devour the lives of smaller players. Be it the law or be it counter law.
It really is a thought provoking movie.
It will make one wonder if employing the means to fight anything with principles to which we adhere to… would really work. It will make you see sense in becoming a chameleon in the rapidly changing background of good and bad. It makes you wonder how far anything could be given faith where human ego could alter everything and objectivism bows everything in to smithereens.
If you are as mad as me… You will like this movie… Believe me…
