The Cow
I have to
start off by saying. This was probably one of the most interesting and
mesmerizing things that I have ever watched. Originally, I thought that the
story was a little weird, and kind of bizarre. As it turns out, I was fairly
accurate with my thoughts. This movie was most definitely bizarre, but in a
very good way. Hassan clearly was infatuated with the cow. It even seemed a
little over the line. However, many people act that way with their dogs or cats
so it is not that strange in the grand scheme of things. It was so fascinating
to me, the way that all of the villagers reacted the way that they did. They
all knew that the news pf the cows death would devastate Hassan, so they
decided it would be easier to omit the real truth of what happened. The
villagers went through great lengths to ensure that Hassan thought the Cow ran
away instead of died. Obviously, their efforts were all for nothing because the
news still devastated Hassan. Soon after Hassan received the news, his slow
descent into madness began. Eventually, Hassan believed that he was the cow,
which was just so amazing to me. I say this because I am sure things like this
have happened before and this just brings to light what can happen to someone
that is depressed. I found myself wondering something though. Is it possible
that because the villagers lied to Hassan, albeit with good intentions, Hassan
took the news even harder? I believe that this is the case. Since the villagers
told him that the cow ran away, it left may have left a little glimmer of hope
that the cow may return. If he would have just heard the truth maybe he would
have been able to cope with the news better. That could be completely
inaccurate, but that is my perspective. Also, it bothered me a little that we
never really found out how the cow died. Does anyone know what the cause of
that was?
