FACEOFF

The best part of an action pack movie is the confrontation that is displayed on screen, in whatever aspect that confrontation might be displayed, if it be with self, romantically, with the villain or just overcoming an obstacle. The best confrontations in a film are the ones that keep you at the edge of your seat, waiting, anticipated what will be done. One of the best movies that might display this is A Few Good Men.

I feel in love with this movie way before actually watching it. I had heard the infamous lines, "I want the truth! You can't handle the truth!" left me with the need to understand what drove the passion behind those words. I sat down watched it and because I was so enthralled with what I saw depicted I ran out and brought the film on DVD. That one simple scene, gave off fire and in it gives the idea of what a confrontation could and should be.

But in real life how many times are you offered that opportunity; the opportunity to confront the bully, bad guy, villain or archenemies? Even if offered the opportunity how many times do you allow yourself to respond to the offer? This is an issue that I deal with constantly in life, the issue of dealing with the face off. It is a scary moment to confront that issue that you have been dealing with. Your palms get sweaty, your heart starts to race and you begin to search your brain for the best possible words to convey the feelings that you have on the inside. All your emotions rush to the front and you try to stand firm on what feel so that you don't feel that you are getting punked. Your pray might be that the confrontation won't be like that displayed in A Few Good Men. That the face off you have will be serene but to the point, like that displayed between Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, with the conversation about the cerulean sweater. Yes still an embarrassing confrontation, but it was straight forward and cut through.

Well this week I guess that was the test sent from on high. Face off is what I want to call my week. I found this week that I had to deal with a lot of different confrontations in my life, if it be personal or public. All in all I am glad I dealt with the different issues. All of them came with different lessons and a reassuring lesson that I am growing. Sometimes I feel that I am stagnant in life but through this week I realized that I am taking the motions to better myself. Only I can be blamed for being the turtle and sticking my head back into my shell when a dilemma presents itself.
