♥ Movie Mania
Recently I have been under a lot of stress and pressure from workload and expectations and also by people around me. I have written in this blog sometime ago that I like working under pressure. But it seems like I have already been ego or something like that that Allah forbids me and is trying to test me with all this.
Anyway, this entry is about movies that I watched in the past 2 weeks. Due to being pressured to the max, I tried to release the steam and the feelings bolted up inside me by going to the movies.
The first time I went to watch a movie was 6 years back. Yupp, during my university years. And that was because my friends wanted to hang out and watch a movie. I was so delighted because that was my first experience to the movies and I just could not imagine at that time how the movies were and the settings and all. That movie was Senario Lagi. And on top of going to the movies, we later found out that Senario was there for the roadtour along with Umie Aida. I was so happy and I just could not find the words to express the feeling.
Anyway, after graduating, I did not have any friends and the right time to go to the movies. And I just settled for the CD version. It is not that I don’t have any friends, but most of them are from the northern region and I live in the central region. And when I started working, my colleagues mostly are quite senior in age, and I didn’t have any choice except to buy CDs to watch movies. Well, not until recently when most of my colleagues are mostly the same age range as me.
I went out with a couple of friends and watched Lemony Snickets. It was okay. There are things that are hilarious and some that are quite sad. But the most important part is that people can be greedy sometimes and they will do things that are beyond our expectations.
I was really under a lot of stress and had to come to work on Saturday (which was supposed to be a holiday) and I told myself that I need a break. So I decided to catch a movie. And I went alone to The Mines to watch Hitch. It was hilarious and I enjoyed it. Even though I was there alone, but I laughed out loud and didn’t feel like I was there alone. I really enjoyed the movie. I was even in tears towards the end of the movie when Sara (Eva Mendes) accused Hitch (Will Smith) of lying to her and her best friend. The way Hitch felt hurt because Sara just trusted the so-called source really made me cry. On the other hand, I really wished that there were people like Doctor Date in this world to help the women – especially me. He..he..
Last Saturday, I went to watch Miss Congeniality 2. I enjoyed this movie as well. It was fun and I did shed tears again. How pathetic right? But I enjoy it that way. It makes me feel that that movie is good because I can really feel the emotion of it.
The latest movie that I watched was Sepet. I have been waiting to watch this movie for weeks after the review in several blogs. The thing was that I didn’t have time to go to KLCC to watch it. But guess what, even Warta Bangi - YES I mean The Warta Bangi as stated in Javard’s blog where he gets his AF CD’s showed the movie. Well, I guess the cinema isn’t as superb as TGV or GSC, but it’s new. And the best part, we (my colleagues and I) were the only viewers that evening. The cinema was ours. Ha..ha.. I really enjoyed the movie. It was superb. It is as good as the reviews from blogs I’ve been to and I even bought the original CD. And I wasn’t even glancing at my watch for the time. I just sat there and enjoyed the movie and when the ending came, I was like – Haaa?? Dah abis?? (in between tears) . This movie really did bring back old memories of my friend. And this is one true Malaysian story. Thank you Yasmin Ahmad for the wonderful movie and congratulations for the award. I won’t do any reviews here about Sepet because I am no expert in that field. But one thing for sure, I really enjoyed it.
