Red Cherry

Two blogs in one day...I have gone crazy...it's just that I have so much to say....although I think no one reads my blog....just myself I think to relieve what I have kept in my mind....it's quite burdening to keep it all in....

Red cherry...it' a movie on the Nazi's and their invasion of Russia....these movie is all about two Chinese children sent to study in Russia....it wass really a lot of hardship to learn Russian language and well being invaded by Germans make things even worst....the movie was just slightly graphical...it was gruesome to see children being gunned down...there was one teenager who tried to save all his friends that he was being shelled with hundreds of bullet when the German soldiers caught him.....it was horrifying...then there was the teacher who was shot in front of her students for daring to defy the orders of the Germans by asking the children to go back into class and trying to save them.....it is nothing but the truth when we are at war...the people who suffer the most are children....starvation and homeless...the movie show the torture of war...a young girl...her name is ChuChu in the movie...she was caught by the Germans and almost was killed but she survived yet she was tattoed with the symbol of the Nazi's and had to suffer the most extreme humilation.....the tattoo was tattoed to her back and she was extremely humilated by it....her suffering was just too much she actually try to erased the tattoo by scrubbing her skin to a rough wall and even trying to burn her back with a smoldering stick.....that's what war does to you....humilation and suffering...she survived till 63 yet the tattoo was still on her back...doctors try to graft out the skin but the tattoo was too big and she suffered the hardship of war even after the war ended...extreme humilation....

I didn't experience war and I never want to.....but you have to learn from the past...war brings nothing but destruction....Malaysia suffered through war too before gaining her independence. Our country suffered much to gain independence yet nowadays no one appreciate the freedom we have instead they misuse it...abuse their rights as free independent people......I use to think that way too.....but watching Red Cherry and other war films and reading newspapers makes me realise how we mislittled the importance of independence....withou it, we can't do what we want, how to rule the country and how to live if we didn't gain independence.....that what's independence has given us yet we don't appreciate it....growing up I think I learn a lot has been sacrificed for independence....it's our 50th independence day and we definitely should try to help our country in any way we can...even if our country is not good enough...you know grass is always greener on the other side....that's what you always will think.....but when we crossed the other side we'll realise it's just the same....Learn to appreciate Malaysia...we have our faults yes...lots of them but we should learn from the mistakes and help correct them not crictised ourself for it...it's funny how we crictised but never look at ourself....Sometimes I do too....I may not appreciate independence like some who experience war in the the past but I understand how hard it was....I hope one day Malaysian really understand the true spirit of Merdeka....we are unique yet we don't understand the importance of unity among all races.....You don't crictised other races' belief and culture....respect and understand......Unity is power.....we should learn to respect people's culture as they respect yours......We are Malaysia...we make what Malaysia will be....the spirit of Merdeka is up to us.....learn the meaning of MERDEKA!!!!
