The Other Man

This is my favourite favourite of the lot. I discovered this one, when I was enjoying my pretty vacations in Kerala's Munnar. It was so pretty, especially because of the monsoons, since I went off-season. Well, I always visit pretty destinations during their typical off-season. It is my strategy to utilize the opportunity to be the very few tourists to enjoy the beautiful location, unlike during the visit friendly seasons, when tourists flock in great numbers. That ways I end up looking human beings again and not the place that I have come to visit.

Anyways, coming back to my movie, I just loved the representation of the husband discovering about the adultery ways of his dead wife, whom he loved a lot, well she also loved him a lot. Just that she loved another man also apart from her husband. But nowhere in the movie it seems that the woman committed a crime of exploring illegal ways of finding love and happiness in her life, nor that her husband is depicted to be non-loving or villain kinds, it is just that she falls in love with that other man, although being deeply in love with her own husband.

As I mentioned, that I watched this movie when I was on my vacation, so I missed watching the entire movie, so immediately after returning from my "trip to Kerala"*,  I watched the entire movie from start to the end. And I was in love with it. Nobody seems to be wrong in the story, neither the husband who is so hurt and jealous of the man with whom his wife was having an affair, nor the other man, beautifully played by Antonio Bendares, and of course not the wife who at the first place started the entire complexity to the situation.

Well, just to think of it, she loved her husband so much that she purposely kept her passwords to the computer out so that her husband gets to know about her secrets once she is physically gone from his life.

She also loved that other man so much that in spite of knowing that he was bankrupt, she loved him candidly and even tried helping him out.

And our poor defeated husband who was earlier bursting of malice for the other man, so much so that he even contrives killing him, but the moment he realised that he loved his wife truly, he pardons him as well.

And how can I keep myself from mentioning that the real icing on the cake was when he realises that his wife did not succumb to adultery ways because of the other man's money or power, but just because he loved her immensely, he pardons her as well.

He also treats and provides financial help to the poor janitor his wife was in love with, ahhhh there slows down the male ego...lol
