MOVIES SHARING: About a boy (2002)

Will (Hugh Grant) is living a single man in an island, an isolated and solitary man. Thanks to his deceased father’s royalty who composed a Christmas song that enough to support Will rest of his life. He spends daily time for watching TV, smoking, drinking, eating meal, playing pool and sleep. He never gets a stable job or either a firm relationship, as he doesn’t wants to commit anything. In order words, he just wasted his time for living 38 years with nothing!

On the other hand, a cute 12 years old boy called Marcus, who was a freak in school. Marcus is a highly self-professed boy, that’s why he has becomes the target for bullying. In addition, Marcus was born in a single-parent family with a depressed mother who even tries to kill herself. But, this factor never caused Marcus into grief. Optimistically, he tries to do everything best to make his mother happy, so that his mother never commits suicide again. Marcus is an extraordinary kid, who do thing brilliantly and uniquely, by compared with those ordinary kids.

Later on, through a special circumstance has connected these two different roles come together. Actually two of them are freaks, just in different contexts. Will’s single man island has opened the door for Marcus to walk in, who has changes the way of Will viewing his life. Unconsciously, Will becomes more honest to himself (in past he lies a lot), self-disclosure as facing with people, and self-exposure to mingle more people until he has meets his soul-mate. Marcus has influences and tremendously changes Will’s life in 180 degree.

Will never feels lonely anymore who watching movie for the long whole night and drinking makes himself drunk for every past Christmas Eve. Instead, now, Will is having a warm and blissful Christmas celebration with Marcus family and his new partner’s family.   

   

I always believe that kid possesses the most purest and honest heart that can actually influence our perspective towards our life. Try to talk more with kid, you may learn something from them, or how simple and optimistic they perceive the world, not as complex as what we expect. 

PERSONAL: Which Looks like me? :)

MOVIES SHARING: Prime (2005)

How you actually define love? Does love must always go through many obstacles so that it only can be strengthen? A rebellious teen couple who craving to be together and ignore their parent’s foresight; or a homo-relation couple that can endure the society’s discrimination towards their relationship? As general philosophy, love is always blind. Love is an interaction, and attraction between human’s emotion contact, which should not be in the limit of ages, races, genders, skin colours or even physically disorder.   

            Regarding this movie, Prime, which portrayed a lovely couple struggle in the dilemma of huge gap of age and society perspective.  A divorced lady, Rafi (Uma Thurman) has falls in love with a young boy, David (Bryan Greenburg), who is a painter and only 23 years old. Rafi would routinely visit her psycho-therapist, Dr. Lisa (Meryl Streep) for consulting her personal love relation. Lisa was consistently encouraging Rafi to take a try for the new relationship as overcome her fear of intimacy.  So coincidently but unfortunately for Lisa, who realised that Rafi’s boyfriend was her only son, David.

As a tradition mother, who hopes that one day her son will get a Jewish wife and definitely not a woman that older than her son 14 years old. Ethically, as a professional therapist should draws the clear line between her personal issue and her professionalism. Therefore, this relationship has been consequently becomes more complicated. However, regardless how their intense affection in this relationship, this couple has realises that huge age gap and diverse background has actually arises many conflicts.

However, the ending turnout was a sad ending. But, I do love the ending! When especially David looks Rafi through the restaurant’s window. Their expressions seem have experienced a vigorous relationship but separated. Rafi smiles with her deep red lip, which has reflected their emotional affection has become mature and grown. Even same as David, who takes the courage to face Rafi, and leaves the restaurant, where outside is a snowy and freezing winter.  With disseminating a gloomy song, I wish you love. 

MOVIES SHARING: Never Let Me Go...

That was such a long time never post any new blog. Probably, it is boring to hear my story! haha... I would prefer share with you of what other's story! Thus, movie sharing definitely is the best. :)

You would call me emo guy, or whatever, but, I do admit that I like to watch some very depth, emotional and presumably confusing movies. ;) Recent, no, just now, I was finished watched a movie, a pathetic movie - Never Let Me Go. It's title attracted me, I thought it is some kind of horror movie, conversely, it was a sad and sci-fi movie (IMDB, 2010).

This movie is actually inspired from a Japanese writer, Kazuo Ishiguro. There were three children, Kathy (Carey Mulligan), Tommy (Andrew Garfield) and Ruth (Keira Knightley, when she appeared, she really surprise me!) who grow up together and studied in same school, Hailsham at the countryside. They are even worst than the orphan, as they grown up as adult, they would be a donor, fully donor till the end of life. The school only emphasizes strict discipline, and cultivate their creative and art, which make sure they have a healthy life so that they will be a healthy donor in future. How pathetic it is!

There is a threesome relationship between three of them, where Ruth was jealous on Kathy and interfere the relationship between Tommy and Kathy. However, I was kind of lack interest on viewing the struggle of love relationship between them. Instead, I'm thinking, what is the real meaning of their life? The greatest thing gifted from God to human is decision-making. We do have the decision for any aspect of our life. But they seem like a poor obedient, who have not right to possess even their own body, in fact, their life are belong to others.


The whole movie is winter, it really portrayed they are in the world of sadness and helpless. They were stayed somewhere very rural place and showed that they are almost quarantine with the society (called it as cottage). They even feel awkward when first time having foods at outside! It's that the purpose they Made for the society, as a "raw tool" for the other sake of life? I dont know man, although it is just solely a novel, but after watching it, it is really heartbreaking. One of the most heartbreaking scene is, when a female teacher asked the children what their dreams are? it really sad man, really really sad, given the fact that they ended up is just a donor.

When they meet up again, their conversation topic is, how many times you have donate? Questioning when is their completion (death, such a well-use of word)? Probably second time of donation would make them almost half dead. For my personal view of this movie, I would expect to see more about value of life, dont they get any suspicious of what are the purposes of their life, aren't they feel unfair and angry of their duty as knuckle down to the so-called faith? Anyway, I kind to like the idea of this story, as we are made by blood and flesh, and there is soul staying in our body? That's why we would feel pathetic and sorrow when seeing someone suffer, when especially someone loose his/her right of making-decision.

Oh yeah, another heart breaking is, their hand are wearing a some kind of detector device. When every time in and out, they have to scan through a detector beside the door. What is the matter? May be I hate being controlled or monitored, that's why seeing these scenes I'm very.... I dont know how to describe actually. Guys, if you after read my blog and get interested, go watch it, this movie really draw your heart-string! I dont really expressed the important part of the movie, let yourself experience it. :)

Children always innocent, and cute though.

MOVIES SHARING: Mysterious Skin

You may call me movie ambassador, I'm pleasure to heard that! lol
Whenever I have free time, I would randomly pick some movies,especially those movies are not reveal in Malaysia, I would always take a try!
Of course there are many movies I'd watched in this month (roughly from July to August),  but I'm only picked one, Mysterious Skin for my new post, which is deeply engraved in my mind, pathetic
Ok, let's start the synopsis.

This story is about two boys (only 8 years old) who homo-sexually abused by their baseball coach. One of the boys, Neil grown up as a dissipated teenage, who possesses destructive behavior and part time as a gay prostitute. Neil was believed that he perceived the real love from his coach in his early-age sex. Thus, his curiosity of developing sexuality and desire of love has leads him heading to New York city. Through the long hardship path, Neil's invulnerable dignity was devastated by a man from Brighton Beach who brutally rapes and beats him. (This scene was censored, but I watch this cruel scene again in YouTube, it was very terrified.) Neil was leave with bloody and broken from outside and inside, he was breakdown in washroom and feels his dignity as a man was totally being insulted.

Another nerd boy, Brian, who psychologically suffer in emotional trauma being sexually abused that cause amnesia of four hours in his past with bleeding nose. He believes that within "unmemorable" four hours was abducted by alien. Therefore, Brian curious to seek back what really happen in past during that particular 4 hours, isn't that UFO existed in this planet! Until Brian's self-discovering has leads him to meet Neil, which unlock the dark secret of his past. Brian was reluctantly accepts the dark-side of his past until Neil had disclosed the harsh reality torn. In the end, the unbearable past memories was a fact that engraved in depth of their heart. They have no choice, or turn back the clock, only endure, weeping away and acknowledge the truth, be brave to face next chapter of their life.

It was a pretty sad movie, especially with the ending where both of them crying on couch, the scene was dimly get dark and darker. It is portraying a miserable and pathetic of their dark past. Their past is a shade of sculpture, which never easily vanished and planted in their heart in the rest of life. However, for my personal view, both of them have the choice to live their life with bright of hope even though their past was such terrified. For Neil, who finally found the clear direction of his newborn life as experienced and learned along the harsh way that he through. He is courage to faced his past, accept the way he was and learned from fall and get up gain. On the other hand, Brian was living a self fabricated lie from his past, until he reveals the reality, he will bravely faces it.
