Dear hope, trust and wonder...
I've just finished watching Adam when I wrote this entry...
Okay, to be honest...I feel like crying right now because Adam is such a touching meaningful lovely love story. Adam first lost his father and then his job. Later on, a lawyer asks him to move to somewhere else in addition that he has no money to pay the house mortgage. Luckily he has a friend who is there to help him, gave him motivation when he felt down after losing his job. Adam is a brilliant child despite that he is having a retarding development. And the movie has got a lot of messages in it...it depends on us to interpret each message it brought.
I would love to live with someone like Adam, even if he has this Asperger's syndrome that makes him different from the entire society...but it's honesty that makes him special. Honesty is a very important aspect in a relationship. Adam is so honest, he speaks out what his feeling is despite that thing might hurt someone's feeling. But sometimes things that hurt might be lessons to us.
Liar, is one big thing that we all seem to hate despite that we being one. Yes, we all hate liars but sometimes maybe we have to know "to separate between just plain liars and liars worth loving". Well, that's what being advised by Harlan.
But occasionally, we just dunno how to express our feeling. Adam never told he loves Beth except when he heard Beth's phone call with her mum, then only he said it. But is it necessary to tell someone that we love him/her? Is it necessary for us to hear that someone says I love you to us then only we can know his/her feeling? Human's mind reading ability is very limited and sometimes it's good to be straight. I didn't really get how the movie end but I was curious on why Beth didn't go with Adam to California after all the difficulties that Adam had to go through to say why he wanted Beth to go with him. Adam said he needs Beth but Beth just simply said she couldn't go with him. And that is the point that makes me upset the most. I wish for a better ending, the one that doesn't make me cry...But that's the fact of live. Not everything goes like we want, right?
But most of all, I like the beginning where Beth as the narrator talks about her favourite children book which tells a story of a little prince who came to earth from a distant asteroid. He meets a pilot whose plane has crashed in a desert. The little prince teaches the pilot many things but mainly about love. When she was a kid, her father always told her that she was like the little prince but after she met Adam, she realised she was a pilot all along. If the movie is to be translated directly, we see that Beth has taught a lot of things to Adam but as to Beth, Adam was the one who has taught her a lot of things. In our lives, we bump into a lot of different kind of people who teaches a lot of things. Yeah, life is mainly all about lesson. And we would never end up from learning lessons.
So why don't you just write story about raccoons? They don't belong here but...here they are.
