Thief of Bagdad

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Last night, i watched an old 1940 movie called "Thief of Bagdad". It starred Conrad Veidt and Sabu. Honestly, the 1978 version of "Thief of Bagdad" with peter Ustinov, Kabir Bedi and Roddy McDowall is the one that have a nostalgia value to me but..what the hey, the 1940 version will do and it is a better movie i think.
Of course, i watched that movie in the purpose of an evening entertainment for ‘Arabian nights’ is one of my favorite movie theme (Thanks to Mr. Ray Harryhausen hehehe..) but during my time when i watched that movie, suddenly my mind just snapped.
It happened during the scene where Abu stole 2 pancakes for him and Ahmad.
When Ahmad started to eat the pancake, Abu said to him :

"You can’t eat a pancake without honey !"

Ahmad replied "Well, where do you expect we can afford or find some honey for these pancakes?"

and then, quickly Abu answered "God has gave us pancakes for us and He will gave us honey for these pancakes"

Small scene but it has big impact for me.
It reminded me to ‘always have faith in Him everytime and He will provide us what is the best for our needst’.

Region or religion?

Sacred addiction
Legal form of brainwashing
No need for needles
No injection
Exploration of truth
or exploitation of exclusive syndrome
Which is right? which is wrong?
Both of them are not without flaws
Clarity is only for crystal dawn
Empty shells longing for definite substance
But the act reflects a mental erosion
A drop of light is a possible perception
A drop of sun ray
or
Sonic bombardment

No need for a badge, no need for armor, no need for clothes
No need for religion, screw it!!!

Are you forget something crucial? The most important of all…more important than sacred system or methods….

God
