Truth be Told



It's not always easy to tell the truth. As tempting as it is to tell someone the reality of what really happened, sometimes the truth is the one thing that can wreak disastrous consequences. Unloading your heart from the weight of a pressing matter may be an act of selfishness especially when that very information can cause extreme distress on the other person. 

The truth is then must be stashed away deep within the chambers of the heart and the key thrown away. However truth has a way of coming out, it's rather vicious head will find a way to erupt from its confines. 

That's the thing about being truthful- making this paramount decision on whether being honest at the moment is better than letting things and facts come out on their own. Often it is the latter that seems more effective. 

Truth is, we live in a time when secrets are best kept in deep pools where they can never surface. Many people can't either digest the truth or can't put their faith in this one person who has shown courage to come forth and be honest. So where does this leave the virtuous? 

Secrets are what protects us sometimes. They keep us at an advantageous position. We are given control of the situation. Once the truth is out, the consequences are immediate and it may or may not affect us in any way. At the end of the day, self-preservation is what we most count on. 

It is what helps us combat the hardships of everyday lives. By holding onto the truth, we are able to protect ourselves from things that could destroy what little we have left.

The Limehouse Golem- My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When Elizabeth's husband is found dead, all fingers point to her. But is it really her or the work of a serial killer? If like me, you’ve read hundreds of mysteries and are enthused about Sherlock Holmes tales, THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM is actually pretty predictable. Set in the Victorian Era, it promises to instil fear in you. Before Jack the Ripper, there was Golem- such is the tagline and you do want it to be the kind of movie that keeps you guessing until the very end as to the true identity of the killer.   Unlike the Jack the Ripper legend, Golem is easily recognizable in the very first instance the character is introduced.

Delirium (2018)— My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: After leaving the asylum and put in house arrest, Tom begins to believe the house is either haunted or he is hallucinating.  Most times, when we think about criminals, we wonder what could possible have prompted them to fall into a life of crime.

Look Away— my take on the movie with spoilers!

Plot Summary: A bullied girl switches places with her reflection. She soon regrets her decision as people start dying.  What matters most? Looks or confidence? When we see someone for the first time, we do notice their looks, the way they dress. Personality and their ability to initiate and hold a conversation comes second, doesn't it? Imagine meeting someone who is good looking but is dull to the core. Now imagine someone with average looks but is someone you can have fun with or have an intellectual conversation. Which seems more attractive? Look Away takes a very bold stand where appearances are concerned. But also about self-confidence. In the end, the only argument it makes is that one cannot possess both attributes. LOOK AWAY Movie Plot  We are introduced to a timid girl, Maria whose father is a plastic surgeon. Her mother is shown to have no say of her own. She is left to watch her husband ridicule his daughter about not being careful with her looks. Maria has a friend Lily
