Dream Girl

I was watching this movie the other day, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, a good movie I must say, not exactly a family friendly mix, with a fair share of trash talking and nudity, but that doesn't take away from it the fact that it was a good story with commendable acting not only from both the leads, Robert Downey Jr. and Michelle Monaghan, but also Val Kilmer who plays an excellent supporting role of Gay Perry. I admit I had to mention his character, because he played it so well, he does make an excellent Gay man, no offence. 

 So I was watching the movie and there came a point in it when Harry Lockhart (Robert Jr.) realizes that his Dream Girl (Harmony Faith Lane- Michelle) wasn't the Girl he thought her to be. He had this delusion that she was this amazing girl with the perfect life, with the perfect character, only she had gone wrong in this wicked world and need to be forgiven for her wrongs. Which he did most of the time, he overlooked all her wrongs and tried to make amends when she came off on a wrong foot, but he still refused to see the truth. He was the Dumb-ass who believed in it only because that is what she said she would be...An Amazing girl. 

His rude awakening comes after all the chasing and praising when he finally gets to be with her. She is not who she said she would be...she is not the amazing girl, his dream girl. 

Now he wasn't the perfect judge of character, infact not even a decent one, or else he would have foreseen who he was dealing with. But then this begs the question as to who is?  We all like to fancy ourselves as master readers, who can assay a person in no time, but are we really? Even if we are that good, and we do realize who is who and whats what...love is blind, what can be done about it? 

Not everyone faces this problem, and not many who face it, own up to it, after all there is no personal glory in admitting it. But for just a moment, sit back and contemplate, what would you do if in his place? What if your Dream Girl isn't who you thought she would be?
