Cin(t)a

I didn't do much this weekend, but I still enjoyed it. I think I ate way too much ice cream. There are just too many selection and when the weather is warm, I tend to get a little out of control. Anyways...

The International Women's Film Festival in Seoul is going on now, so I went to see a movie Sunday night in Sinchon. We saw an Indonesian film (with English subs of course) called Cin(t)a. It was about a Christian man and a Moslem girl falling in love, but were unable to be together because it's against Indonesian laws to marry someone with a different religion. There was one scene that I really liked. The guy was talking to the girl about converting to Christianity and the girl said that if she can betray her God, then she can betray him. The film asks a lot of questions, but answers aren't given. It made me think about how important my religion is to me and it's a little sad for me to admit that I don't really care about being Catholic at all. I would want my kids to be raised Catholic, but there's no sincerity in it. If I met a man who asked me to change my religion, would I do it? What does that say about my character? If God wanted everyone to get a long, why is everyone so different? Again...too many questions, but no answers.
