Bolt

Bolt is an amazing movie I missed somehow. I did not watch it only because it was released at expensive multiplex movie theaters. Later I happen to forget about it till my good friend Chef Kishor brought that in his Lappy and I happen to watch that.

It’s about a dog who believes that it is his responsibility to protect the girl he loves from all possible harms. Both of them enact in a TV serial and the shooting environment created around real life to make the dog convinced that he has some supernatural powers. They take extreme care to make the dog differentiate not what is really happening.

This adorable dog suffers the compulsive obsession that ends in to irreversible tendency of indispensability in protecting his friend from the evil around. He lives in that faith that’s exploited by the TV serial producers in minting money.

And one horrible day he gets separated from the girl he is loyal to and suddenly finds himself in an environment and place that’s completely unknown to him. His primary concern again propels him towards reaching the girl as they become geographically separated thousands of miles from each other.

In the journey he confronts the worst dilemma of his life.

He confronts reality.

A reality that tells him that he is not a super dog as he thought to be and he could not make things possible. That he suffers hunger, pain and disappointment. He eventually reaches his girl only to discover that she is now provided with another dog in place of him. This fact deeply breaks his heart and when he try to resign to life as it appeared before him he gets an opportunity to save the girl from an accident that real but not a studio generated fantasy.

It’s one of the very best movies I happen to watch.

Leaving the quality of animation adventures and story line aside it made me think of something that happened in my life.

I thought I shall be the only one who could take care of her and I was so concerned with my own front line roll in making her safe, comfortable and happy. Took undue interest in her personnel space as she termed and made matters worse some times. Realized not that we cannot do everything for a person as some times it hampers their own growth and often they get irritated as they find it an obstructive influence in their life.

The problem with realizing something in pragmatic manner is that we not only lose our time but also our credibility. But then an adventure to take responsibility often levies its own price. We must be able to perceive the creeping discomfort on the part of other person and step back.

Those were the most wonderful few years when I used to worry about her a lot than worry about my one self. Though my brain plagued with questions and options, my heart used to feel joy in bearing the pain that came along.

Today I don’t even expect her to remember anything. But I would never let my love fade away for her…

Please watch BOLT…
