Windstruck: Lessons with Pinwheel and Paper Plane
Aug 28th, 2007 by SniperAngel

After some chronic episodes of being nocturnal, I stumbled upon the 16 in 1 dvd I bought from a local store. The dvd theme is “Love Story” and basically contains Western and Asian stories defining love and its bittersweet quests along the way. Raving since my first year in college because of My Sassy Girl, it looks like Windstruck is an old new rave. This move helped me appreciate pinwheels more, with a deeper perspective.
Windstruck is a story of a police officer and a physics teacher. And because a series of events bound them together, including twists along the way. To make this heartwarming story short, the film gave me a good grip on my life more. That love endures so much pain it tends to become stronger. That it gives so much there is almost nothing left. That love waits patiently without losing hope. That love can defy death.
I totally had no idea how the story will end because I’ve heard so much about it but no one actually shared the plot to me. The man died after cheating death once. And the girl attempted to join him, but instances won’t permit her to die.
Pinwheels and paper planes are kindergarten activities that as far as I can remember just explains the presence of the wind, how it helped the pinwheel move or the plane to glide. But looking on a deeper sense, it depicts someone’s presence just like the man in the film by the time he died. It’ll never be the same feeling again when I see a young child playing pinwheels and paper planes because of a meaningful story behind it.
