Wat is satisfaction? Enjoying the accompaniment of your frens, working out some self-fulfilling dreams, or to be in love?
I derive happiness from simple things in life. I enjoy cracking lame jokes, who knows some gals out there might appreciate them. I enjoy listening to cds of my favourite album, enjoy watching movies after movies, running, swimming, singing....
Movies can change a person's point of view of certain things, or even re-highlight some of the issues u have forgotten in the society.
The movie "I am Sam" touches my heart, the brilliant performances of Sean Penn and the little girl, tell of the love between a disabled father and the daughter. The constant struggle for her custody make the disable sean penn even stronger in his conviction to take good care of his daughter.
Along my life, movies depict certain periods of my life which i can identify with the scenes.
I realise i dun like to give support to HK movies, or for that matter, Koreanjap movies. The horror shows from there are getting lamer than ever, with no spine-chilling scenes, nor presenting any phenomenal acts with reality.
U sometimes need to go out with the correct person to watch a movie. You wun wan to watch a movie with someone who snores beside you, or worse still, keep blabbering to you about how he/she feel about the show. Its nice when u can hold the hands of someone u love and watch with her. The feeling is great, the feeling is rejuvenating and invigorating.
Some movies are disturbing. 2 days ago went to catch a show with vin, the show was "SAW". The plot was thrilling and freaky. There is no allusion to any supernatural entity but some pyschology is being involved in the film. I feel pretty disturbed after watching that movie. First of all the ending was a cliffhanger, second, the last part of the show when the guy saw off his own leg was damn gross.
Some of the movies brought to life some of the cartoon characters u have always adored. The Wolverine and Cyclops in the X-men, not to mention Storm too.
Some ppl say that watching movies can be an extravagant way of living, but i guess, this is some of the things that i enjoy doing, especially at times when u feel so void of pleasure in life.
