THE BEGINNING

greetings everyone
i'm super excited to be posting here
first of i want to thank dr raihana for uniting the 1st years and 2nd years
honestly if she hadnt grouped us up i would still be going around ukm barely knowing who my other fellow BA coursemates are.

one of my all time favourite movies is "MOULIN ROUGE" the musical starring nicole kidman and ewan mcgregor ( both fabulous and insanely good looking actors)
it came out many years back but i just watched it again recently

to many this movie may seem like cliched. well it undeniably is but thats what makes it wonderful because all the cliches work. what i love about it is they take various famous songs and incorporate it into the story line. and the songs they use are rich with figurative language which is why i believe it makes the story more richer and it overshadows the cliches.

it has Julie Andrew's "The Sound of Music"
" The hills are alive with the sound of music
With songs they have sung for a thousand years"
Also Marilyn Monroe's "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend"
" Square cut or pear shaped
These rocks dont loose their shape"
we can see clear use of personification in these lines

i can elaborate on many more of the figurative language used in the movie but i'm sure you would rather see it yourself.
however these lines struck a cord in me, nicole kidman's character says it when she find out she has to end her relationship with ewan mcgregor's character

" If i should die in this moment I wouldnt fear, for i've never known completeness like being here"

it just shows how great her love is for him( yes corny mushy love like this is hard to find in reality)to me those lines represent how sublime loving her other half is and it makes her life complete that she doesnt mind dying right now because she has experienced completeness. and for her that is enough for her. he has brightened her world and she doesnt fear death because he has made her feel whole. i'm sorry if i havent justified myself clearly but sometimes i have fail expressing myself creatively. i feel so overwhelmed but what inspires me that its hard to put into words so others can get where i'm coming from.

i hope u lot see the meaning of those lines the way i do. please feel free to put in your view on it
for those who read this congratulations on surviving this post hope i didnt give u an eyesore.
