Last month I have watched so many movies..
Firstly is red cliff part 2.. it is again a showcase of how clever Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu are.. and how courageous the rest of the generals are and how dumb Cao Cao has become for starting and also delay the attack for a woman he is smitten with.. I still hate war with so many innocent soldiers and citizens being killed just becos of the "big plans" the generals have.. is it really worth it? exchanging lives for land and power..
second is Valkyrie.. the plot is so forgettable.. and has no impact at all.. what I can remembered is that tom cruise's character, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, was involved in a anti-Hitler plan with some German army officers.. he was the key plotter and the executor of the plan to assassinate Hitler.. and he wants to use Operation Valkyrie to take control of Berlin but the plan is so badly planned with so many loopholes and so many incooperative and untrustable officers are invloved.. the support is not there.. and how can it be successful.. Hitler was not dead and they are executed in the end..
third is Slumdog Millionaire.. it is a touching story which many people who have watched it will agree.. it is about an india boy who is so lucky in the sense that he won the Indian's version of "Who wants to be a Millionaire?".. how he manage to answer all the qns.. is he so intelligent and well read? not really.. he just happened to have a good memory.. who can remember clearly what he experienced in his life.. and all the qns seem to fit in to his life.. how he jumped into the shit hole to see his idol and get his signature.. how his mother was killed by the anti-muslim indians.. how he got adopted and nearly blinded by the gangsters.. how he lived a unstable life with his bad brother.. no matter how bad and money minded the brother is, he still love and care for his younger brother.. and how he always searching for his love and won't give up when he is faced with so many obstacles.. will a slumdog always be a slumdog? Can't a slumdog be a millionaire? Can't a slumdog have dream and find love? Does a slumdog have to stay bullied by the gangsters forever? This story has brought hope to all the people living in slums.. why will they be so interesed in watching "Who wants to be a Millionaire?" becos they can have dream.. dream to win big bucks to leave the slum.. like the person who won the contest.. it can be done.. and the dream of the producers and crews of this movie has come true.. this movie is well-received and has won many Oscar Awards..
Fourth is The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. People always regret about things that have passed and done and hope that time can turn back and things can reverse and happen differently but will it give a better result? may not be so.. this movie is about seeing life going reverse in a different perspective.. but no matter which direction life goes.. the natural processes are still unavoidable.. Benjamin may in the appearance be opposite to the ppl his age.. his thinking and behaviour are still naturally the same as ppl his age.. some things are just unavoidable.. its a cycle.. no matter how you reverse.. you will still meet the point in the cycle.. although the movie is very long, I am not really bored at all as the movie is quite well paced and I will be curious to know what will happen next in benjamin's life till his death as a baby.. the make up and special effects used to make Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett look young and old are really impressive..Fifth is Departures.. Oscar's best foreign language film.. it is a simple story but is interesting enough to keep you awake in the wee hours.. I cried a lot while watching this movie becos it involved too many deaths and it is so sad to see the grieving family members of the dead.. every cases were so touching.. you will be touched by the determination of the protagonist to carry on to be the encoffinment professional even though he is faced with the objection of his wife and people around him.. becos death is a big taboo.. a person who has to touch so many dead people is usually not so well liked by others.. but this movie has showed how meaningful this job actually is.. these professionals make sure that your love ones leave this world with a pretty and peaceful appearance which stay true to who they are.. no matter how you may hate a person, when he is gone, the hatred will also be gone and you will only be faced with the regret that how things can have turned out before the life ends.. it's always so..
