Today's been Asian screen. For the first time I watched two movies in theater consecutively, on a same day. Those movies were good (the latter was better, imo).
The first movie we (Bowo has activated his single formation membership..lolzzz) watched was Kungfu Dunk. The story was standard. I could guess the plot, esp the last part of the movie. The special effect was quite good. I think Jay Chou's name played important role here since he's the main cast. Since he's already had this arrogant look, it's not too hard for him to show it. Other than that, his dumb and naive look was quite real. In overall, the movie was entertaining enough (plus Charlene Choi's appearence :D).
Ok after that we attacked Sapo Oriental. We ate so many food. There were Black Pepper Beef, Kungpao Chicken, Fried Noodles, Mayonnaise Sauce Shrimp, Cakwe Sapo, Crab Corn Soup, and two other dishes. And it took only about 45 minutes to eat them all. Note: we also added three bowls of rice. Talking about hungry....lolzz....
The second movie was CJ7. At first we're planning to watch Kungfu Panda, but it hasn't played yet in theaters. I read CJ7 synopsis and it intrigued me. It seemed like a good movie to watch, remembering it's Stephen Chow's movie and it's more a drama than comedy, unlike the usual genre of Chow's movies. It turned out to be as good as I expected..slightly more actually. Although I found that some of the scenes were a bit too extreme to illustrate Chow's poorness, the moral of the story was very good. How they could still be happy though they didn't have much. It's a bit irony I think watching that movie at Gadink, which was considered as one of elite neighborhoods in the city. The movie taught basic principles in life such as integrity, hard work, and value of family. It's touching to see how Stephen Chow had to work so hard just to be able to get his son the best education and hoping his son wouldn't end up like him, a low pay worker. He played the loving (poor) father character well. How he often gave advice to his son, his dangerous line of work, and his expression when his son wanted a toy dog, just like his other friends. I usually watched his comedy movies and CJ7 offered a fresh image of Chow's acting skills.
The alien dog was quite a catch too. I bet the girl would love it. Heck, even me and my friends liked it. I guess the doll would come out soon ;D. Stephen Chow was still able to insert some funny scenes into the movie without conflicting with the main idea. There were some parody of Mission Impossible II and Kungfu Hustle (the latter was another Chow's movie). And to my surprise, there's an eye candy too in the movie. If in Kungfu Dunk the eye candy was Charlene Choi, here it's Kitty Zhang. She played Stephen Chow's son's (Dicky) teacher. She's so sweet and beautiful. I think I found Gillian replacement. Well just hope she won't follow Gillian's fate.
Isn't she lovely?
Ok watching CJ7 made me thinking and it reminded me to be (once again) grateful for all the things I have. We often taking the things we have, the person we spend time with for granted. Instead of being thankful, we complained, we felt that what we had wasn't enough. Yeah I agree that the feeling of unsatisfied with what we have can be a motivator to make us push harder and reach higher. But I think it's necessary to take a step back every now and then, realizing what we have. Thus we can appreciate the things we have, treat other person around us better and eventually it'll make us happier.
Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens) - Father and Son
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
(Son-- Away Away Away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them They know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(Father-- Stay Stay Stay, Why must you go and
make this decision alone?)
