Isn’t it so insanely amazing that some time how much we get addicted to a character that we started felling like them we started seeing our life in them. There are a lot of people who find their self in some characters but there are also some who take lessons from character, well here I can not tell about other but i can tell mine favourite characters or should i say a characters that teach me a lot. In India a movie named “ye jawaani hai dewani” is quite famous, the movie goes around 4 friend, kabir,Avinash ,Aditi and Naina tell talk first about Naina and Aditi. Naina who always tried to make her family happy but at the end of doing everything she still asked “is they are happy” while Aditi who lives her life fully have the independence to do anything, Bunny:-A boy who wants to run,fly,but do not want to stop. This movie shows and teaches a lot of things friendship,self love,the act of letting go, time is the actual currency.
They all go to a trip, where kabir,Aditi,and avi came by their decision while Naina had to sneak out without telling her family. A trip which changed their lives. Where Naina got her best friend Aditi, where she learn to love herself but also where Aditi learn to chose herself not the wrong person.
Let’s talk about Kabir Thapar (bunny) first. A boy who wants to fly high, run fastly but don’t want to stop. Who teaches us about to enjoy life,chase our dreams. Well, bunny got what he wanted the life he dreamed but at what cost he was about to lose the friends who always support them, which teach me “to get new things it’s not necessary to leave the old things behind “every time”. He also teach to “to enjoy life first learn to love yourself”. He wasn’t like a fairy tale man who is perfect, he was real with his own imperfection.
Avinash Arora a boy who also enjoy his life but was he actually enjoying or he was just acting that ya he is happy. While Bunny move forward in his life career and Aditi grows up to find stability, avi stay clingy to his old days which teaches me “to get new things it is necessary to leaves old things behind “sometime”. He also teaches me “not to things or people take for granted in life”.
Aditi Mehra a girl who was chaotic girl, who was shown as fiercely aggressive tomboy in the first half of the movie became the mature and secure women in the second half. When she forget avi who never consider her more than friend and chose herself. It teach me “it’s important to walk away from unrequited love and chose myself my peace” and “sometimes it’s important to let of the things you love” When avi was furious on bunny for leaving Aditi accept gracefully, she accept her life changes and didn’t hold any grudge for anyone, it teach me that “growing up means accepting that friendship change shape,but the love doesn’t have to die”.
Naina Talwar an studios girl, who used to do as her parents says, the topper girl,who maybe forget to enjoy her life. When she first went out to the trips sneaking out of the house without telling her parents not because she was rebellious but because she knew her parents will not her to go, the first time when she first step out of her safe place her comfort. It teach me “it’s important to step out of your comfort”. While bunny was obsessed with the future and counting the places he visited, Naina understand the value of present, it teach me that “ Happiness is not the final destination, it is ability to enjoy the moment you are in”. Even in love with bunny form the start she never said that till the end not because she didn’t know her felling but because she refuses to ask bunny sacrifices his dreams because she knew that their paths are different, it teach that “love should never required losing your identify or your dreams”.
They all were living and writing their own stories with their imperfection, as well as supporting other, where some got their ending as they wanted and some where finding their. Their friendship is not flawless,fairy-take bond,instead it was raw,realistic bond which shows the up and downs of a friendship thorough life. A movie where bunny teach us to run,to live,to fly, Naina teach us that “sometimes staying at one place is also important” where she teach that “sometime we will miss out something but that’s okay” where they teach us to enjoy life as well as not to forget our dreams. This movie captured the generational tension between personal ambition,romance, and the fear of missing out, and the concept of friendship so gracefully. It’s shows that sometimes we find our little home outside of house too, in people, it doesn’t if they are one,two or are whole group, it is not about people it’s about the people who understand us,support us, in front of whom we can stay ourself, informs of whom we don’t have to give reason for doing what we are doing,who support us in our low pace without make us feel low , in front of whom we can laugh,feel,talk,cry, wholeheartedly. A family who stay inside our heart always,whom we can run when world get difficult.
Well it was about me and my movie but there must be some character that will be close to your heart as well, in whom you find your story, your struggle, your POV, and your confront. I have read somewhere that “you should always watch or read your favourite movie or story or show though different faces of your live not because the ending will chance but because, you will always end it in different perspective”. And somehow I can relate that because I have felt that watching or reading my favourite things give me comfort as well as it always teach me different things in different paces of life.
Some character teachs us to enjoy life while some teach to do struggle,some teach to “dream big”while some teach that “how much we have Is enough, some teach to fly”some teach to “in life we will miss something”,some teach to “let of people” some teach that “sometimes it is also important to hold on some people”,some teach to “love ourself” while some teach to “love others”.For me Loving and character is only about to liking them, Iit’s also about from what perspective we see them, how we feel them, and is not it so amazing that how some character become our comfort, how they became irreplaceable in life, how memorable they became, how much we starts to loving that when someone talk to us about them it’s really fell good, How much we felt connect to them, how much nostalgia we fell when we watch or read them again, how they motivate us, how they tell to not give up, how they tell to dream big, how they tell us to stay humble,how they tell us to never stop chasing our dreams,amazing that some time in our difficult pace of life we don’t need anybody we just need to watch or read our confront characters again and it alone fell so good.
And when we love some character it doesn’t natter what others think about it, it’s just that that character have our comfort that character somehow relate to us ,that character thought us something, or maybe we just find peace in that character. Well, it also doesn’t matter how many character we love or how deeply we feel for one character, it’s just the think that somehow we feel connected to the character, who somehow changed something in us, doesn’t matter a minor change or an major change but it do, even if we can not see it but it does , and that’s the most wonderfull think about loving or admiring an character that somehow they always though us something, even if we don’t notice it,how we feel connected to wan character, how we find our safe place or our confront it that character or characters, how their friendship feels like our, how their family feels like our and how sometimes their heartbreak hurt us more than our own, how their betrayal feels like our, how their happy moment bring an sweet and gently smile on our face, how their emotional talks bring an tears in our eyes, and sometimes we don’t even have to watch series or movies more than one time to see it’s impact, sometimes we just see, we feel connected and than we remember it all along of our life without any specific reason or anything., and when we even try to figure out why we remember it like this or who we feel connected to the character we don’t can’t answer that, and maybe we can never find it….
