The Lunchbox

By

A movie that everyone (or at least folks in third-world countries) can relate to.


“Sometimes the wrong train can lead us to the right station”
—The Lunchbox 

Ila, lonely housewife trying to get her marriage back on the track caused by her husband's affair with another woman. She begins to cook lunchbox for him, but the deliverer mistakenly sends it to a middle-aged accountant man. He enjoyed the meal, Ila feels rewarded. They communicate with letters through the lunchbox and start having mutual affection.

It spreads the sense of solitude in the whole scene unless when they are reading the letter they took from the lunchbox, you can also feel the excitement of eventually interacting with someone who earnestly understands you and kills the loneliness that has been in storage for times. It reminds me of one of the finest work by Wong-Kar Wai, In The Mood For Love. Also, The Lost Translation. Both share the lonesome vibe and a lesson that you can fall in love anywhere, whenever, and with whoever in a very strange way.

J anuary 7th I lay my body down consciously that I was automatically alarmed around 3am. I helped my mom, trying to sleep it off after 3 hours, I can hear my dad grumble behind, saying my work is unsatisfied him.  My head aching, my friend rang me for some minutes, texted her that I decide to skip school today, I turned off my phone. Mom wakes me up around 9am, brought me my breakfast. I talk to my boyfriend for a couple of hours and get back to the kitchen as my mom yelled for me to help her. January 6th All the class operates today, a little proud of myself that I be able to answer my teacher's question of the relation between Johann Mendel and genetics. Even though, I know a 12 year old teenybopper can give a better answer than mine.  My anxiety get back amid Biology class, I again trying to figure out what major I fit in for university. I scribbled on the last page of my note, predict what my postcard would written like at least 3 years by now: Dear, X The last semester of high

The draft or scribble of my postcard/letter I have posted in April and May: April 27th Dear, Mikoto. The song I'm listening to recently is Everybody's Changing by Keane. I play it constantly last night, couldn't sleep, I stayed awake till 5am. I think the lyrics of that song describe how my life going on nowadays. Dear, Jesus I have trouble with sleep recently, I thought read myself a book to sleep would help but eventually it keeps me up till dawn, and when I manage to sleep, I get nighmares and mumbling in my sleep. My mama said this morning I yelled ' you are a cheater'. But I can't recall the scene. I'm thinking about visiting a therapist, its necessary yet society here find it absurd. Your friend, Adzra  April 30th Dear, Chen Its a cold night! And I just expereinced an unbelievable moment in my life. I went to an English Club for the first time. It was in a cafe. Turns out they canceled the meeting, but there was group of stranger there gathering for go

Documentary movie is not what I fond of. I barely touch them. After wandering for a while on (an illegal) website, I decide this one to begin my tiresome morning. (Spoiler: the story is about a girl choosing to play the sport she likes over continue her family culture, yet a day where her father abandoned her change her life and her family) 'Purdah' is not merely represent the journey of the main character's, but reveal the reality of marriage, household or a family that often times turn out unexpectedly. The troubles they suffered is prevalent occur in the neighborhood we live in perenially. How they fall into a problem, facing the butterfly effect yet eventually manage to slowly recovery. The personal decision the girl made to priority her hobby over her marriage, her little sister who choose to break her ill marriage yet keep the baby and her older sister who also found out the priorities in her life is what I found powerful in a world where being jud
