For years, I have longed to visit the cinema. Personally, I am not inclined to leave my house as I prefer to stay at home. However, there are times when I wish I could go to the cinema to watch an American movie. Fortunately, I have a collection of Hollywood films, and while they no longer produce such movies, I still have access to them.
I have a strong dislike for films that revolve around violence, horror and murder. These movies perpetuate a culture of violence worldwide, and I sincerely wish that such films were not produced. Unfortunately, the challenge lies in the fact that a significant portion of the general public enjoys watching action and horror films.
Another issue I’ve noticed in Hollywood is the lack of exceptionally beautiful faces on the screen, both male and female. To illustrate this point, let’s take the example of the actress Brooke Shields. She has a fascinating story. I wish the truth about Shields’ beauty was widely recognized. Even in the present era, there is no one who resembles Brooke Shields, and some women in the Arab world make exaggerated claims about their resemblance to her, which is quite laughable.
Anyone who sees their pictures can easily discern that they are not even remotely similar to Shields. Her unique beauty is unmatched, and it has European roots, despite her association with American cinema. It’s worth noting that many Americans are originally of European descent and played a significant role in the founding of the United States of America.
Regrettably, Brooke Shields did not achieve much success in Hollywood. It remains unclear whether she faced personal or professional challenges that she couldn’t overcome. I recollect one of Shields’ movies from the 1980s, although I cannot remember the entire film as I did not watch it in its entirety. What remains vivid in my memory is the ending of the movie, with Shields shedding tears for her beloved, whom she deemed irreplaceable.
This leads me to a profound observation about the plight of beautiful women. Beautiful women naturally attract many admirers and are accustomed to such attention. They understand that if they lose a lover or go through a divorce, they can easily find another partner. However, the tears shed by Shields in that movie shed light on a deeper truth – that men are often intimidated by the idea of being in a relationship with a beautiful woman.
A beautiful woman is just as capable of loving sincerely as any other woman. If a woman, regardless of her looks, finds a man who genuinely admires her, she often regards him as irreplaceable, accepting all kinds of mistreatment and humiliation. She may not even love him, but he is the only one in her life.
Conversely, a beautiful woman who truly understands love has the capacity to let go. She values her dignity and is proud of it. This woman is a rare breed – a woman who doesn’t compromise her values for money or weakness. May God bless her with a man who is equally honest and loves her as she deserves.
True love isn’t solely about physical attraction or fleeting encounters. Love that truly ignites the heart is not found in chance meetings or online forums. Brooke Shields’ tears in the movie reflect her belief that her departed lover is irreplaceable.
Every day, beautiful women endure unwanted attention and harassment. Most men mistakenly believe that a woman who tolerates betrayal and humiliation is somehow better than a woman who values her dignity. However, God honors those who maintain their self-respect and compensates them with the best. Those who remain silent about infidelity and accept humiliation are often subjected to further humiliation.
Some men may delude themselves into thinking that a woman who tolerates such mistreatment does so because she loves him. In reality, she is silent because she knows that she is a true lover who cannot love anyone else after her departed lover. She makes the difficult choice to leave and close the door, showing her commitment to the one she considers irreplaceable. This is the secret behind Brooke Shields’ tears in the movie.
In conclusion, I would like to appeal to Hollywood to search for and showcase beautiful faces with moral stories that promote peace, love and understanding among people worldwide. I sincerely wish to visit the cinema, but there are hurdles to overcome.
