Movies/Films That Make You Think While You Enjoy

Few people have not been blinded by ambition and desires to the point of neglecting families, friends, or associates. Few people have not refused to heed the advice of spouses or others in the pursuit of their dreams. If we don’t cut our bridges, we might come back crawling but wiser having been whipped by the vagaries of the world.

We are told we should take life with passion, otherwise we wobble through life in mediocrity. But, like all emotions, passion may affect us at the cellular level. Biology says amino acids, the units of peptides, a key ingredient in cell processes are joined by carbon and nitrogen atoms. This carbon and nitrogen bond is so strong it needs hours of boiling to break. Is it any wonder it is difficult to break us from the object of our passion? It is possible the memory of the passion that has lodged in our system has become quite entrenced.


Ugetsu, is Japanese classic in which two men, Genjuro and Tobei are obsessed with their different ambitions. It is a delight to watch this film and see them pursue their dreams single-heartedly only to fall on their butts in the end.
              
                The finest silk
                Of choicest hue
                May change and fade away
                As would my life
                Beloved one

Vincere is an Italian classic of the story Benito Mussolini and his mistress, the gorgeous Ida Deslar. The powerful eroticism is probably why Ida was bounded to Mussolini at the cost of her own doom. You will understand why a young, sometimes unwisely, turns against family in the pursuit of love. If  O J Simpson killed is ex-wife and friend, then this movie will make you understand the reason? It is a sizzling movie.
