I have to say, this is 100% the kind of movie that I love. I love it so much, that after so much time of inactive, I come to decide to post something on my blog again, hehe. If you haven't seen it yet, then go watch it, no matter how you get your sources from. It is also highly recommended for those who like V for Vendetta.
If you haven't watched it but still decided to read on, then spare me from the blame of spoiling the movie. So, why do I love it so much? Simple, because it describes and portraits my opinions and thoughts all these while. Ever since my SPM results(Malaysian high school exams) came out and I was not accepted into any local unis, my head has been embedded with this thought, of setting the justice right, one way or the other, and it doesn't matter if blood has to be shed.
What has the society today become? Just like Nick Rice said in the movie, while you are trying to change the system, you do not realize that the system has been changing you all the while. A little inch here and there ends up changing you to an entirely different person in the end. But do we realize that we are being changed? Or do we still think that we are trying to change the system and the world? If Clyde Shelton never shows up in reality, will Nick Rice in reality ever going to realize it, that he's been changed? Are we going to slumber along unless we get a slap right on our face?
Look at the bitchy mayor! What did she do, besides blaming others and firing them of their jobs at will if they don't get the jobs done? And the judge too. She deserves it well alright. "We feel for you..."That's what we normally hear in times of great sadness. But do you really feel what I feel? I was so hoping for Nick's family to be killed too. He was lucky that Clyde spared them their lives.
I am the only child in my family. And if I were not the only child to bear responsibilities to my parents, I would have tried something similiar to what Clyde did. The system is not working anymore. Before you will appreciate anything, you will have to lose it first. And I will be the one to take up the duty, to let the government appreciate its citizens. Because without the citizens, there will never be a government, nor a country. What I have lost, I would rather make them suffer the same lose, than let them make it up to me. Some things are just not the same anymore, no matter what you do. Just as Clyde's wife and daughter, they can never feel anymore...

Shinjuku Incident
i used to like watching movies. i really liked watching movies. i liked watching movies, because i get strength and enlightenment from them. it's just like a report or a book, there is always a theme or objective that the story line hangs on to. if you pay enough attention to the movie, it's easy to get the theme.
people used to say that all movies have happy endings and they are not realistic. hence, the criticisms. now, people are making it more and more realistic, until to a point that, sometimes, i feel like it is showing a part of my own life. the stupidity of some people, the naked truth behind the iron masks, the fact that bad guys live longer than good guys in a more luxurious way, they all form the elements of recent movies.
just like Shinjuku Incident, it is a pathetic movie. i don't need another damn movie to tell me how life sucks. i don't need another movie to tell me that the world is as cruel as it can be. i don't need another God damn movie to tell me that dying is easier than living, while i am still struggling to live each day through my life!
i got really emotional after the movie. killing your friend whom you call brother by slitting his throat??!! that's so sick. when is it allowed to have such screens on TV or cinemas? why is the movie not showing stuffs that promotes unity instead? yes, you can call that life, one that is really down to earth, but i have already got enough of that shit stuffs in my life!
oh, is this world leading to damnation? does people still believe in God as the master of their lives, or just as someone who created the universe like us playing Lego toys? i know i'm getting far away from the church, and astray from the righteous path. but i still believe that good deeds lead to salvation at the end of the world. in Disney terms, i still believe that the prince and the princess lived happily ever after. the end. what's wrong with that? ain't that is what we are supposed to believe in?
sigh. maybe i need to listen to more sermons from church services. these movies are making me aggressive.
PS: there are good morals presented in this film, but the bad ones just leave a far more deeper impression in my mind. just like Batman, the Dark Knight. nearly everyone preferred Joker over Batman. this is not the way they are supposed to be...in my opinion...

confused...again...
life is all about choosing, about making a choice, about preferring one from all the others that are available...but which one should we choose?
of all those people who come across our lives, who shall we keep to stay around us and who shall we just let to pass by? we don't get to choose our families, but we can choose our own circle of friends, and eventually, our life-long partner.
ever since i left my country, i have been dealing with this dilemma - who shall i befriend. i no longer get to hang around those people who are as "disgusting" as i am...while i was used to have the choice to choose my friends, now, i'm more likely to be the one who's being chosen from. with the dignity of an honorable knight, i bow down to no man nor woman who are less superior than i am. however, as poor as the church mice at the same time, i can no longer hold my head and nose up to stand up to whoever that steps on my tail. what i'm saying here is, my financial status has forbid me to choose my friends as freely as before. i begin to realize that, you "got" to hang around those people with the same status. friends are no longer those people who you can share your secrets with. friends are no longer the people who you trust on at hardest times. friends are no longer the people who are there to share both your sorrows and laughters. friends are just the people that you usually go out with...where is the intimacy and trust that i felt before for my past-friends?
i feel bad for the death of Michael Jackson. this incident led me to a thought. if i were the one to die, who will weep and cry on my funeral besides my family members? i don't mean that i want a very grand funeral and notify every one of my death. but, i just want to feel missed by the persons that i loved and cared so much before...
maybe being alone here on the "island" with the largest rock in the world, has made me realize that...it is time to mate...
i mean, it is time for me to start off my own career, get established, and get into the circle of life that i want to belong to. i will now make a list of the friends that would mourn for my death instead of just feel like losing another friend to hang out with...and i hope all of you will find your true friends...

回到过去
一盏黄黄旧旧的灯
时间在旁闷不吭声
寂寞下手毫无分寸
不懂得轻重之分
沉默支撑跃过陌生
静静看着凌晨黄昏
你的身影
失去平衡 慢慢下沉
黑暗已在空中盘旋
该往哪我看不见
也许爱在梦的另一端
无法存活在真实的空间
想回到过去
试着抱你在怀里
羞怯的脸带有一点稚气
想看你看的世界
想在你梦的画面
只要靠在一起就能感觉甜蜜
想回到过去
试着让故事继续
至少不再让你离我而去
分散时间的注意
这次会抱得更紧
这样挽留不知还来不来得及
想回到过去
思绪不断阻挡着回忆播放
盲目的追寻仍然空空荡荡
灰蒙蒙的夜晚睡意又不知躲到哪去
一转身孤单已躺在身旁
想回到过去
试着抱你在怀里
羞怯的脸带有一点稚气
想看你看的世界
想在你梦的画面
只要靠在一起就能感觉甜蜜
想回到过去
试着让故事继续
至少不再让你离我而去
分散时间的注意
这次会抱得更紧
这样挽留不知还来不来得及
想回到过去
沉默支撑跃过陌生
静静看着凌晨黄昏
失去平衡 慢慢下沉
你的身影
又回到过去
an old song from Jay Chow. love it...
maybe because that the future is always unpredictable, we have a perception that the past has always been better. isn't that true? when we are faced with difficulties and trials, we always turn our head to look back into our past, and admire the times when we don't have to go through the problems at hand. the more we do this, the less courage we have to probe into the unknown future.
starting from now on, i will still turn around and have a look at the memorable times every now and then, but i will look at it with great anticipation that i will create something better along the path ahead... the past will be the base of what i will create tomorrow, and it will provide me courage to enter into the later stages of my life. i will make everything that i experienced worthful by going through better experiences. if tomorrow is not better, then i will make it better myself!
