Wu Xia (武侠)


Went to watch this movie... well, how can I miss the movie of Takeshi Kaneshiro... haha... anyway, let's talk about what I feel about this movie here.

The story begins with an incident happened in a small village, where 2 wanted criminals attempt to rob a shop. And Donnie Yen saved the shop owner and "accidentally" killed the 2 criminals. And here comes Takeshi Kaneshiro... investigating the truth behind this incident. The way the story unfold is very interesting and tempting. The more he investigate, the more truth has been unveiled. He found out that Donnie Yen didn't killed the 2 criminals by accident. In fact, he is a great kung fu master, and he killed them both by his intention.      

This is where the turning point of the story begins. Donnie Yen admitted he was a murderer before this, and now he want to have a new life again being an ordinary people, a good guy. But Takeshi Kaneshiro didn't think so. He believes that there are no "good guy" or "bad guy" in this world. We decide to be good or bad by our intention and things will change at any time and any moment. He wanted to arrest Donnie Yen. However, Donnie Yen's father (who had trained him to become a murderer and kung fu master) has managed to found him and want him back to his side to help him. Donnie Yen refuse, and then the conflict between them begins.

Well, up until this point the story is still very interesting. But things turn out to be rather disappointing towards the end. At the very beginning,  the story is emphasizing everyone has a good and bad personality inside, and this can be shown clearly from Takeshi Kaneshiro's act and also Donnie Yen's act. However, towards the end, this point is no longer being the center of the story line. In the end, Donnie Yen lose his left arms, Takeshi Kaneshiro died protecting Donnie Yen, and his father died "accidentally". And Donnie Yen live on happily ever after in the small village with his wife...

So, first I don't know why the director has lose his focus on the main theme towards the end... secondly, I got no idea why this movie have this title. It is not about action or kung fu... rather there are only some fighting action towards the end of the movie... which is only a small portion of it. The story is talking about something deeper within everyone. Third, the ending is rather lame... if the main theme of this story is able to carry on until the end, this would have been a great movie. They should ditch those fighting scene and work more on the emotional side. Like in the end, when Takeshi Kaneshiro died, the "bad guy" inside him is standing in front of him and crying... crying for the sacrifice of the "good guy" in him... this is a rather good interpretation which brings out the whole concept of the story.

Well, all in all, the movie did make me think about some of the things like what I have mentioned above... some are quite true... and leaves me ponder for awhile. Worth to watch in cinema? Hmm... I don't think many will like this movie. I like the concept, like the beginning... but dislike the ending. A good story, but poorly told. That is how I can conclude this movie.

突然好想你

到底是何时开始...喜欢上了这一首歌?
已经不记得了...但是,没关系。
除了歌曲好听,当然最重要的还是因为他的歌词
说真的,句句都写到我心底去了
这难得的共鸣,让我沉醉在这首歌曲里...无法自拔
如果我能够有这样的才华,把我内心的想法,感触与情怀都写下来...
那...会有多好啊...
无论如何,这首歌已成为了我的K歌,我的“饮歌”...
也许唱得不好,没关系
只要让自己沉溺在这段情感,这段旋律里...
那...就足够了...



突然好想你
五月天

最怕空气突然安静
最怕朋友突然的关心
最怕回忆突然翻滚绞痛着不平息
最怕突然听到你的消息

想念如果会有声音
不愿那是悲伤的哭泣
事到如今终於让自已属於我自已
只剩眼泪还骗不过自己

突然好想你,你会在哪里
过的快乐或委屈
突然好想你,突然锋利的回忆
突然模糊的眼睛

我们像一首最美丽的歌曲
变成两部悲伤的电影
为什麽你带我走过最难忘的旅行
然後留下最痛的纪念品

我们那麽甜 那麽美 那麽相信
那麽疯 那麽热烈的曾经
为何我们,还是要奔向各自的幸福和遗憾中老去

突然好想你,你会在哪里
过的快乐或委屈
突然好想你,突然锋利的回忆
突然模糊的眼睛

最怕空气突然安静
最怕朋友突然的关心
最怕回忆突然翻滚绞痛着不平息
最怕突然听到你的消息
最怕此生已经决定自己过,没有你却又突然
听到你的消息

July... nothing special

Yup... nothing special this month except quarrel with a Manager which is not my Manager also...
Anyway, don't want to talk about those ass hole here...

July... it's already half way through... time do flies quickly...
My boss is keep on asking me on "something"... and I'm yet to give him an answer
Don't feel like saying "yes" to that "something"...
Haha... "something" is just "something"... if it really happened, only will inform.

Planned a trip to Singapore in August... will take 1 day to walk around Singapore and shooting some pictures
And will spend some time meeting my friends in Singapore...
And of course the main objective is to pay my grandma a visit...
Love you... you are the best grandma in the world...

Planning a trip in September as well (technically, I'm not the one who plan for the trip...)
Wonder it will make it or not... because if that "something" happened...
This will be my last trip this year...
Pray hard... cross fingers...

Spent some time thinking about many things recently...
First one... hobby order re-shuffle: 1. Photography 2. Guitar 3. Gundam modelling...
Next... start saving for my first DSLR... target getting one by next year...
And... some decision has been made for my life... moving to the better future!!

Lastly... so eager to make one of my dream to become a success next year...
But it is not going to be easy to plan... Really hope that I can make one of my dream come true!!
What dream is that? Secret...
Will review only if I have successfully planned it...

2011 is ending soon... yes, it will end without notice...
Let's dash for the remaining 6 months in full force!!
