Hey readers, what’s new and how’s your week? I hope it was good. As I predicted, during Ied Mubarak I visited my related family houses (and ate lots delicious food, belly seems to enjoy them, ahah). But the point of the day is to cleanse your mind and body. There’s this culture in my country to salam-salaman or give each other forgiveness as we celebrate the day.
Forgiving means letting go, of all the things that makes you mad, upset or a grudge. While you’re not ready to let go, it’s actually yourself that you take hostage for, the part of you who wouldn’t let go. So, forgiving actually setting yourself free. Makes peace just further and further.
I actually have learn a lot about forgiveness recently and how it is good for you. So, I thought in the spirit of Lebaran, I’d like to give you some recommendation movies with the theme of forgiveness. I put ‘Top 6′, but I actually only found these 6 movies that are great job on sending their message about forgiving.

One reader commented that Warrior is like a Bollywood movie (which usually linked to emotional-teary movie) with the taste of Western. Well, I can’t argue with that opinion, but the movie impressed me much that it ended up being the second best of 2011 for me. For a movie that involved many martial art fights, it’s quite moving.

It is an indie movie, so expect low lighting and sufficient camera angle. But it doesn’t bother the story, in fact it made it stand out. The movie seems to show that fixing broken relationship is uneasy, but necessary.

This Danish drama thriller is a very solid movie about a broken family. The father is a great wise figure, but he showed himself that anyone is inevitable of controlling anger sometimes. Mother’s trouble of letting go is hurting the children also.

The movie that won Best Foreign Film in Academy Awards showed that forgiving is hard but we have no option to do so, before it’s too late. Like many Japanese drama films, this movie is hard not to cry about.

While there’s a possibility to his wife can’t survive, Matt must take time to put his family together and face the fact that he’s not being a good husband after all this time.

It’s very interesting to see himself as many guys look up to, but behind it he’s got so many resentful feelings to his father. Like the movie’s famous quote, “We may be through with the past, but the past ain’t through with us.” It showed a lot how grudge can only hurt ourselves and stopping us to feel peace.
**************
I accidentally picked all of these films who are about broken families. Perhaps the drama is quite deep when talking about family issues. Readers, any thoughts? Do you have any other pick on movies about forgiveness?
