I watched this movie... it is pretty awesome. Haven't watched movies like this in a while.

This moive is about a mum who's child when missing. And when the police managed to find him, he wasn't the boy the mum knew. He was a different person.

The mum knew the boy was not her child. But yet, everyone around wasn't conviced. Finally the mum manages to prove that the boy isn't her son after a long struggle with the Police.

This is probably one of the best Angelina Jolie movies i've seen in a while. Definitely recommended.

I rate this: 8.5/ 10

Minesweeper - the movie

Did you know that minesweeper the movie is coming out? This popular windows game is going to be a hit!! My mum plays it over, and over again. (I think she still does play)

Anyway, Here's the trailer...

I watched this movie just now, a one great movie which I haven't watched in a while.
To me, this movie was fabulous... You can read more about the plot here However, just thought of giving this a thought. When you see the below pic, what do you think of?


You might have just saw an image of some funny old man with a huge nose, wearing a hat with the star of david.

And how about this?



Some black kid with big lips?

The first pic is actually a picture of a Jew which people drew before and during the Holocaust. And the second is one which some kid did for funnn....

You might be shot at if you produced those pictures during that time.

I'm glad I live in Malaysia. Although we live in a multi-cultural society, I guess it wasn't as bad as the Jews living in Italy, Germany etc, or the African Amerians in America getting some racial prejudice every single day.

Hilary Swank acted as Erin Gruwel in this film. Teaching is indeed a noble job. A job which gives you the ability to impact people, or just fill your pockets with 'easy' money everyday. haha... Anyway heres the picture of the true Erin Gruwel. I encourage you to google her. She has a very inspiring story to share :)

I always remember that teacher Lee Tian Ying (Lee Lao Shi) from my primary school giving me a bear hug when i went on MC for almost a week after getting chicken pox...

I remember my Junior Middle Two teacher Chen Lao Shi who always encouraged and believed I could do it after the year I failed my grade and had to retain and repeat my Junior middle 2 (Form 2) for another year.... (In which that year, i obtained a 80% average for the whole accademic year and 2nd in class)

Maybe I could consider teaching?? heheh... You'll never know! :)

P.S. I actually own a Home schooling center in Johor Bahru. (By name only lah.... my parrents running it) do contact me if you are looking for a place where lives will be changed! Contact me for more info ;)

The dark knight

THE DARK KNIGHT
This movie is a hit! I've already watched it twice, and the storyline is still fresh inside my brain!!!
To me this movie was class, as the story was perfect and the casting was perfect. This movie consisted of a crusading hero (Christian Bale) and a sneering villain of Joker (Heath Ledger), but what surprised me most was the role of Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) , a prestigious district attorney who played the hero of locking every villain in jail in becom.



THE TWO FACED HERO/VILLAIN
His fall at the end of the story reminded me about a two-faced heart. He quoted saying that "You either die being a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." He lived long enough to see himself become the villain. Harvey Dent and Two-face
is a big contrast of Chance and freewill, good and evil, hero and villain, justice and chaos, sacrifice and suffering. Two face would rather put his faith in "unbiased chance" than our human freewill. He even quoted saying "You thought we could be decent men in an undecent world. But you were wrong; the world is cruel, and the only morality of this world is chance"


The people involved involved in Jokers two ship experiment showed great humanism by showing that we humans do have a freewill, and from that freewill comes something good.
One ship consisted of prisoners, and the other consisted to normal passengers. Both had their chances to blow each other up. Both ships came to a conclusion that they should blow up the other ship to save their own lives. But yet as the clock struck twelve, nothing happened. They left their lives to chance, that the other ship would not blow them up. This reminds me of the chinese proverb, whereby it says that 人之初,性本善.
Are we really born with something uncorruptable? whereby we do have some good inside all of us?
Joker showed exactly, how to show the worst face of humanity, but yet forgetting that good always triumphs over evil.

And lastly, the movie ends with the unconvincing hero, the main character of the movie, the dark knight. I felt that he transends this superhero to become an everyman, conflicted and troubled by pain and brokenness in life. He is like us, everyday trying to find his identity while trying to maintain some morality.

His bat symbol was even broken due to his sacrifice. Gotham had rejected their only surviving hero. Batman quotes "Sometimes, truth isn't good enough, sometimes people deserve more. sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded." Truth isn't good enough?Many of us prefer to build our lives, our significance on things that are not true; we place our faith in the goodness of humanity (when humanity has not been good to us). We insist on believing that being successful and family-oriented will bring us true happiness (while money corrupts and families divorce). We place our faith in a lie, a lie that temporarily rewards our faith, only to crumble seconds later under the weight of truth-sized hope. The truth isn’t good enough because we have been believing lies.


The Savior of Gotham
This bat becomes the savior of Gotham. A scapegoat. This dark knight, not one in shining armor, shows a truth, a truth that we all need someone to bear our sin, and also our refusal to stand on this truth, choosing to believe what movies and magazines portray life. We ourselves are in need of a savior, a hero who can identify with our humanity and bear our burden. Someone who will take our sin into his own hands, that we might be known as righteous. Contrary to the dark knight, we need a faith greater than what we can manufacture, to find a God greater than man-made philosophy. We need a God-man...
