Love and terrorism cannot draw breath together. They are totally antithetical each other. A terrorist uses unlawful brutality and barbarity towards the mankind. On the other side, love adjoin and rebuilt the humanity. In his animation film "Cupid is not a terrorist", director Bellopropello intellectually drew together these two totally reverse aspects through CUPID.
Cupid; the son of Venus, the goddess of Love and Mars, the god of war is the god of desire, erotic love, attraction, and affection. His iconography acquired the bow and arrow that represent his source of power. Interestingly it is said that a person or even a deity who is shot by Cupid's arrow is filled with uncontrollable desire. Here the question arises, is this obstreperous love is harmful to the mankind or a blessing? Is it the Cupid's arrow which encouraged Paris to steal away Helen from Troy which resulted the Greeks and Menelaus armies turned the Aegean Sea red with blood? But in his animation film, Bellopropello has not framed Cupid's arrow as a culprit but as a love acquirer searching for true love.
Love can be blind but love cannot be brutal. In the presence of love, terrorism cannot exist. Hence Cupid, the god of uncontrollable love, can never be a terrorist.
