Behind Closed Curtains

Just finished watching the movie "Moulin Rouge" just now. I've seen this movie aired in Channel 413 a lot of times before. But, after watching half way I stopped. Why? Because, its ALL over the place. The costumes. lights. flashbacks, humans... EVERYTHING, were just such a HUGE CLASH. I got a bit of a headache everytime I watch it. Thats why I always stop half way. But today, I managed to finish it! Without trying to confuse myself too much with the colours, lights, flashback scenes, drama, singing, dancing and everything else. I finally understand what the movie means. It isn't just about "she sings, she dance and she dies".. But, its about LOVE.

Moulin Rouge is abit like Pride&Prejudice, but with a sad ending. The main character in this story died of a disease call "dry cough" which sort of means lung cancer as well. She and this man fell in love but their love was forbidden as she lives in a world where ppl think that they are BOUGHT to be valued and loved. She was bought by this DUKE who is powerful and filthy rich. To cut the long story short. The duke wanted to kill the man who love her if they continue to be together. At the end they got together in a most dramatical way on stage(you will have to watch the movie to get what I mean). When they were on stage, curtains were closed and the audiences applaud. But because of her disease, she died while the audiences were still applauding in front of closed curtains. But of course, before she took her last breath. She did said a few things to the man that she loves. Like "I love you..." this and that.. "write a story.. and I will always be with you..." etc etc.. You get the picture.

As I was watching the ending of the movie. I realized that many times in life. It seems like we're okay from the outside. But behind closed curtains and closed doors. We may be facing all the terrible and horrible things that ppl just do not know. Just like theatre. In front of the audience, we perform well and beautifully. Everything looks clean and perfect. But whats behind the backstage. We do not know. I just want to say, that whatever that you are going through behind closed curtains and doors. Some1 UP there knows what your going through. And He cares and loves you. So, never think that your alone. Because He is with you and He sees every tear that falls. Just believe in Him and trust that He will take care of everything. =)...
