The Man who Married Himself - 2
this one is an inspiration from ZINDA.. a Hindi movie starring John Abraham and Sanjay Dutt.....in terms of craziness n pain...
A man is imprisoned for say 10 years n his only company during all this time is a mirror...(NO TV, could be full-length...will be better..)
The only human face he can see and interact is his face in the mirror...desperate for company n dialogue, he makes the person in the mirror, a sea of personas, a multitude of emotions....
His mentor, his friend, his watchman, his boss, his mother, his neighbour, the bombshell next door, the bus conductor, the liftman, his girlfriend, his wife, his mistress, his subordinate, his colleague, his victim.....
The face in the mirror bore marks of his interaction with all of these...the cuts made on the victim,the slaps to the subordinate, the signs of violent luv, ...
Then this man, a physic killer trained in the army to kill,(armyman) ( if u want..depends on u...) , is set free ( bcoz his sentence is over)... His first day in the new world is chaos n confusion n utter panic.....no one to talk to...no place, no technology can be understood, the traffic, the buildings, the language, the food seems all alien...And there is no one to talk to....the jail ppl try to get him to classes to make him learn something useful for survival...but all this is gibberish to him...he wants to ask, to know, oh there are so many things...but ppl will not answer him...but Worse, they will not leave him alone...
Information is abundant, but Understanding is wanting...
He is given a house, a job, ( a rather boring one), and since he is 40 and going strong, his army friends try to include him in their nightly excursions.....he takes part in the world, but he still feels very lonely within....
he starts interacting with the mirror in his house n the office restroom n the one in his pocket.... but still ppl wont leave him, will give him curious looks, they think he has gone crazy...
How ironic that interacting with oneself, needing no one, be considered abnormal...no, this has been his life past 10yrs and he will do what he wants....
And so one day,
THIS MAN MARRIES HIMSELF....in a simple ceremony....the Bridegroom is HIM, the Bride is HIM, the Pandit is HIM, the Baraatis is HIM, the Band is HIM, the Parents is HIM, the FIRE IS HIM, the SINDOOR, the BLOOD is HIM...
U can guess the end...he marries himself n in the process, kills himself.....
