Movie and me....

Today is another public holiday that I need to spend working in the office. It is not really such a bad idea since going out on a holiday means pack anywhere you go.
Plus the hot weather of Malaysia, staying in office is not that bad idea.

Especially the work I need to do is minimal and watching movie is the main task. Hehehe \(^_^)/


Today I watch 2 movie. The first movie is call "No string attached"
A romantic comedy staring Natalie Portman and another guy that I don't care to remember his name. :P

Anyway the movie is about a girl that do not believe with Love agree to have a sex only relationship with a guy. Of course in the end she found out she so deeply in love and miss the guy. A very sweet movie. Not bad for a boring holiday afternoon.

But while watching this movie, I suddenly remember when me and her in redbox karaoke room. Just 2 of us sing K. and then because I mistakenly push next for a song she want to sing, she take my arm and bite me really hard. My reaction that time is beyond human nature. Because by instinct when we get hurt we will get away first. Like when we touch a hot kettle we will withdraw our hand faster then we can think.

But when she took my arm and bite, I feel so sweet. And I just let her bite it. She ask is it pain. And I just say no. It feel sweet.

I still remember the bite mark is so deep that you can still see it after more then half hour. And I took picture of it to remember it.

Why watching these kind of sweet romantic comedy movie will remind me of her? I don't know.


The 2nd movie that I watch is one of the best movie I have ever watch. A Japanese movie name Confession. I will recommend all people to watch this movie.



Just watch it and concentrate on each small detail in the movie. And you will appreciate the hard work of the script writer, director and everyone else.

The lesson I learn from this movie is never try to hurt or destroy anyone life, because revenge or consequence from it can be so scary that it is beyond all your imagination. Just like we human destroying this mother nature, the revenge can be seen and feel little by little now.

Aftershock vs Legend of Chen Zhen

Yesterday watch 2 chinese movie. One from Hong Kong. Another from China.

The 2 movie is good example of what a good story can do to a movie.

The first movie Legend Of Chen Zhen(精武風雲．陳真) is made by Hong Kong. With Donnie Yan (Ip Man), Hsu Qi, Wong Chau Sheng etc as its cast. And background story of Donnie Yan as the legendary Chen Zhen. If you are not sure who is Chen Zhen then please watch back Bruce Lee movie Jing Mou Mun. With Donnie Yan doing what he do the best, beating up the bad guy. With Hsu Qi as the sexy singer/hostess, and with Chau Sheng as a underworld tycoon, yet the whole movie is a failure. Story that fail to create drama, building up suspense or have any twist. It is not suprise at all. And the hero that suppose to save the world, well it just feel like Ip Man now trying to be Spiderman. Especially when this guy always stand at the roof looking at the Shanghai city.



Now the second movie is a much more different movie. The movie name is Aftershock(唐山大地震) The cast of the movie is not someone famous. At least I only recognize two name in the movie. The director Fong Xiao Kang and the actress that act as the grown-up daughter. The story is a tragedy and touching one. It is not that complicate without any love story, complicate motive, conspiracy. Yet the core of the movie is the great acting by the cast and thus most people who watch this movie will be crying. Yes I did cry.



Anyway, a few weeks back, when I watch Ip Man 2, I mention that, the reason that Ip Man 2 great is not Donnie Yan fighting skill. It is the story and director ability in presenting this story in such a way that the drama, the suspense, the mood is slowly build up. And so the first movie Legend of Chen Zhen that I watch show how true this is, coz it still is Donnie Yan fighting. But it is not even 10% as good as Ip Man 2. The 2nd movie, with a good director, succeed in making a good movie.

P/s: Aftershock(唐山大地震).. Highly recommended but prepare some tissue. I purposely don't mention anything about the story so that you all can watch it yourself.

Dream

Dream is a simple words but can have many different meaning.

But what I want to share is about a dream movie I watch yesterday.
Movie name is Inception.

It story basically means there is people with the ability to go into your dream world and then slowly find your hidden secret in your subconscious mind. To be honest the whole idea is very unbelievable to me cause the movie make it sound like so simple.

Just give the person some medicine that will make them sleep in a stable and peacefully. Stable in a way that unless a very specific way is use. Else you can't be wake up. Like even if I slap you face also you won't be waking up. Only when I drown you in the water, you will wake up.

If really such a medicine exist, it gonna be wonderful for surgery/medical I guess. Coz it sound less side effect compare to the morphine etc that is used now.

Anyway, once you can accept this part, by just tell yourself, this is a movie, then you can have enjoyable time of going to dream world.

It is quite fascinating to see that you can control the dream world. Mess with the normal physic, build a bridge in front of you when you want.

Too bad I dun know how to do it. Else I will imagine a Ferrari or Bugatti Veyron for me to drive. :P

The movie introduce a very interesting idea. One that I do believe is real. The time in a dream is not same with real life. So if you in first dream world, 5 minute may means hours in real life. And if you go deeper, it can go for days. At 3rd level you can be in dream world for years when you are just sleeping for a night. That means you can experience your teenage time again and again provided you can control your dream and imagine the different path of life that you possibly take in your life.

Give life a 2nd chance. Something that many people wish.

Oh yeah.... one more thing need to share is, after watch movie, you possibly tell yourself. I don't want to dream anymore. :P
