Movies and miseries

Watched two nice movies last week: Motorcycles Diaries and and Philadelphia. The first one is about motorcycle road trip of Che Guevara and"two lives running parallel for a while." The second one is about a man with AIDS who is fired by a conservative law firm because of his condition ! Tom Hanks is really awesome in this movie. He obviously deserved the Oscar. This movie touched me ! I guess no time would have been better for me to watch this movie. It helped me see that my miseries are so small ! For sometime I was just thinking about Andrew Beckett, the character played by Tom Hanks. Anyway, soon I realized that though we become sad with this kind of stories, our personal agonies take upperhand sooner and take us back to the miseries of our lives !
