Who holds the Key to all their strenght?
'The Incredibles' truly blew me over.
Warning: This post can be considered a spoiler for those who havent seen the film, so do not read on if it matters to you.
Anyways, the part that did it for me was when Mr Incredible with all his mighty super strength told his wife in desperation that she cant follow him on his dangerous mission despite her having super powers as well, bcos he simply cannot risk losing her again (previously he was misled into thinking the evil villian had destroyed his entire family). With all his super-human strength, the exact words he used were 'I'm not strong enough' when it comes to the thought of losing his wife.
Such irony and yet in itself, most beautiful and touching. This is the very reason why this movie appealed so much to me. Similarly in 'Superman: The Movie', an anguished Superman remembered how he lost his adoptive father Jonathan Kent to heart diesease and he bitterly thought to himself something to the lines of: "..with all the powers in the world, yet I couldnt save the man.." with that,he was even more determined not to lose Lois and proceeded to bring her back to life.
There are people around who appear formidable, untouchable, full of self-confidence and seem to have the world at the palm of their hands. And I think the more 'powerful' they get, the more vulnerable they are. This shouldnt be taken as a bad thing of cos. So if you know your strength is built on someone dear to you, you should start appreciating that individual and not take him/her for granted.
I know of a friend whose father treats her mom with the utmost care as she has real bad asthma and many times attacks were so bad they nearly lost her. Her dad calls her mom 'Loh Fatt Ye' meaning Empress Dowager. I bet her mom feels so loved. I also recall how my father seemed afraid when he had to clean my badly abused knee wound. Click here for that episode. So you see, everyone has points of weaknesses and many times it's emotions that rules.
