Crocodile Tears
I couldn’t sleep last night, so I randomely pulled out a dvd from my collection to watch. Turned out to be Tom Hanks in Cast Away. You know the story – he gets marooned on an island and only keeps his sanity by talking to a volleyball he named Wilson, after its brand name..
However it is the hope of seeing his beloved wife (played by Helen Hunt) and her picture in his fobwatch that keeps him alive and fighting for survival. He is rescued after four years and returns home only to find her remarried to one of his colleagues. This would have devastated someone like me, but good ‘ol Tom takes it in his stride. .
He takes a cab in the pouring rain to her house in the middle of the night and their meeting is truly ironic in its simplicity. Things are so civilized – he politely asks her for her daughter’s name while she scurries around the kitchen making him a coffee and updating him on his favourite football team. No tantrums. No anger. No “Oh God, why me’s”. In short, no emotional displays.
When push comes to shove, she chooses to “let him go” (isn’t the English language wonderful?) and remain with her new family, but tells him that she always knew in her heart that he was alive and that she loves him.
My take? Why the bloody farkin hell do women do this to men? “Sorry dude, I know you’re a good guy and I know you love me to bits and that’s what kept you alive and all that crap, but you see it’s been four years and I couldn’t survive without bonking so I married your friend”. What, she never heard of vibrators?
Don’t believe me? How about actress Tiara Jacquelina writing a tribute, a whole page in the Star last week, praising ex-husband Hani Mohsin, (who died of a heart attack in front of their 10 old daughter at Subang Airport) praising him skyhigh as a noble person and one of the last few gentlemen left.
Yeah, right. This begs the obvious question, doesn’t it? If Hani is such a darling, why did she divorce him and marry Datuk Effendi? Puh-leese, give me a break before I barf all over my copy of the Star. Oh, hang on. it must be an occupational hazard – actress mah.
Sigh…women. I love ‘em but they’re really something else, aren’t they?
