I Learnt The Power of Love From The Originals.

I have been stucked with watching lots of movies lately, I get stressed a lot since beginning of this year. I am currently in my fourth year in the University and it's all about being on the farm, tending to animals and crops, learning about them and taking care of them. So, each time I get home and I can't sleep I'll just play a movie and ease every stress away till I am ready to sleep. I make sure I have movies to watch everyday, I don't do well with boredom and don't enjoy sleeping just because I am bored.

Recently, I just finished seeing all the seasons of The Originals. It is super interesting to me. It's an old movie and I have heard a lot about it but I never thought I should watch until last month: I got tired of watching K-dramas because I could not get any with more action and romance, I got tired of the 100% romance in K-drama. So, I gave The Originals a try and I do not regret it.

The Originals

This is a movie about family, love, siblings, power, vampires, witches and werewolves. This movie is about a family that has been living for thousands of years, they have witnessed and been part of many evolutions and generations of man. Their immortality started when Esther who was a witch came about a plan to save her children and husband with some dark magic which turned them into vampires, which makes them the first vampires ever. The dark magic did it work but she did not like the outcome as her sons and husband had to depend on human blood for survival.

The children Elijah, Niklaus, Rebekah and Kol ran away from home to start a new life. They found New Orleans as their home, reigned and ruled over it for long. They stood up for each other, they loved and fought for each other. They are bound by one rule "Always and Forever" initiated by Elijah, the calm, loving and most righteous amongst them. Niklaus brings nothing but problems, he only has made enemies for his whole family: there is always an enemy after another.

One profoud think I learnt from this movie is the power of love. These guys would hurt each other, do themselves dirty, at times deny the other person of their happiness. Yet, they would fight anyone who dares to hurt any member of thier family. I learnt that no one can support you like your blood. Another thing I learnt is forbearance, which is also a child element of love. The ability to allow and live with the flaw in a person because they can't stay long before they repeat their flaws no matter how many times they say they are sorry or promise not to ever do it again.

Niklaus could only survive for so many years because his siblings could forbear his evil ways. Though some of his siblings got tired of it but they couldn't push him away. Those flaws are big ones but that is not the exactly who Niklaus is, Niklaus loves his family so much but he doesn't know exactly how to express how much he love and cherish is family.

From The Originals, I learnt the power of love from another perspective. Love could be conditional yet unconditional at same time. One person that sacrificed so much all in the name of love was Elijah, he denied himself many happy things because of love.
