[Movie Reflection] A Prophet

As I am mainly waiting for calls these days, *uh hum* I downloaded some movies to watch. As usual, I like movies that make me think and I thought Cannes Film Festival can help me to narrow a lot of the movies that I SHOULD watch.

A prophet is one of them.

I thought it is gonna be very typical. Really.

What can be more interesting than scenes mainly taken in the prison?

Raped. Beaten. Discriminated. Despised.

What else?

In this movie, I actually see something else than that. Much beyond that. The cell mates are being well taken care of. Guards gave simple respect to the cell mates by greeting them good morning and bon appetit.

Of course, this is not the main thing that I've got. I develop with the main character. From being afraid of getting killed to stand up for his own conscience and pride. He built his empire; took the necessary risks; bless his soul and got his way out of it.

The first person he killed, I believe, is the person that he first listen to. He brought him light, brought him sense of security, ease his pain and help him to understand what the real deal was.

Skin colour.

Why do you care? We are all the same inside. We are all the same no matter what we choose to be. We are never different. You never know as you never look inside your soul and see what you are made of. Even when you do, what do you do about it?

Not doing something wrong doesn't mean that you have avoided to do wrongs.

Ok, too much to decipher for now. Good night.
