There have been countless quotes on friendship and how a good friend can fill the void in your life which sometimes even your better half can't!!
I am a sucker for movies, serials which talk about friendship. These depict kind of friendship which is not ideal or straight out of the books, these talk about everyday friendship, where there are elements of trust, fun, emotions, fights, arguments, hatred(yes hatred !), jealously, unconditional love, no judgment. In short the sort of friendship we all have in our everyday life. We have friends who we have arguments with and we talk our mind out to them, we love these souls for the person they are..and even though we might have difference of opinion, but despite given a chance we might not have even one thing changed about them.
These are the relations which we make in this materialistic, ever-changing, illusioned and distant worlds...so if these bonds survive these elements and continue to be part of our life, then these bonds are there to stay and nourish your life and souls.
you don't need to get acquainted to a friend..you can meet a friend after years and you wont need time to get back into groove, the chemistry, the spark, the love surfaces almost instantly.
i recently read about the importance of fellow friends in life of a women. yes women can have many guy friends but they need a confidant in a girl friend too. have a friendship bond like this makes women more secure and confident women. Its more refreshing to catch up with friends then to go shopping(which can have immediate adverse effects - imagine going for jeans shopping and long term - credit card bills). So friend therapy is better than retail therapy.
The movies/serials which i feel always makes my heart melt and miss my friends are:
1. Sex and the City - Does this need an explanation. The bond which these four friends share and the contemporary touch to it is something which every working women can relate to.
2. Desperate Housewives - This talks about the friendship which bloomed because few women have no option but to stay in a neighborhood. Despite their differences these women have one thing in common, they are married and go through everyday pressures of household..they can sympathize with each other.
3. Sisterhood of the traveling pant(Part I and II) - how teenage girls come up with this kiddish idea of sharing these pair of jeans. These jeans keep traveling between these three friends as they go ahead on the paths of their life. Its all about growing up and handling situations in life..becoming adults and what keeps us going is faith/hope(signified by jeans) which we share between us and which can take us through toughest of times.
4. Under the Tuscan Sun - story of a divorce women who has lost everything in life, as a last shot to life she buys a old/battered villa in Tuscany from all her savings. This marks the beginning of a beautiful story of how her life gets evolved. she finds a friend in a drunkard and failed actress who gives her mantra of life...'never lose your childish enthusiasm'.
5. Dor - This is a Hindi movie which depicts a friendship beyond territories, languages, culture. A friend can change your life forever, this movie depicts that in truest sense.
So Venusian need more emotional bonding and the commercial world knows and exploits it. Well I can see it other way also...these reel characters always make me realize the importance of my friends in my life and how i should always keep them close to my heart...so i keep the emotional element running in my life using these films. as far as these movies/sitcoms keep showing these eternal bond so beautifully, they have a consistent audience in me.
Three cheers to the bond called friendship...!!!
