Purdah

Documentary movie is not what I fond of. I barely touch them. After wandering for a while on (an illegal) website, I decide this one to begin my tiresome morning. (Spoiler: the story is about a girl choosing to play the sport she likes over continue her family culture, yet a day where her father abandoned her change her life and her family) 'Purdah' is not merely represent the journey of the main character's, but reveal the reality of marriage, household or a family that often times turn out unexpectedly. The troubles they suffered is prevalent occur in the neighborhood we live in perenially. How they fall into a problem, facing the butterfly effect yet eventually manage to slowly recovery. The personal decision the girl made to priority her hobby over her marriage, her little sister who choose to break her ill marriage yet keep the baby and her older sister who also found out the priorities in her life is what I found powerful in a world where being jud...

The Lunchbox

A movie that everyone (or at least folks in third-world countries) can relate to. “Sometimes the wrong train can lead us to the right station” —The Lunchbox   Ila, lonely housewife trying to get her marriage back on the track caused by her husband's affair with another woman. She begins to cook lunchbox for him, but the deliverer mistakenly sends it to a middle-aged accountant man. He enjoyed the meal, Ila feels rewarded. They communicate with letters through the lunchbox and start having mutual affection. It spreads the sense of solitude in the whole scene unless when they are reading the letter they took from the lunchbox, you can also feel the excitement of eventually interacting with someone who earnestly understands you and kills the loneliness that has been in storage for times. It reminds me of one of the finest work by Wong-Kar Wai, In The Mood For Love. Also, The Lost Translation. Both share the lonesome vibe and a lesson that you can fall in love anywhere, whene...

The Butterfly Effect

Ah.. The way to keep me alive is to recommend me a great movie I wouldn't dare to die before fully watching it, nothing else. One event can change everything.  This movie talks about Nemo Nobody. By turning 5, he has to choose who to live with, parents divorced. What could be happening if he chooses his mom? Or his father instead? Nevertheless, everything ended up perfectly. It is so-called The Butterfly Effect.  Nemo in his old age trying to predict the past, the other impact, and the possibility of his other decision . As long as you don't choose, everything remains possible. When I was a child, I envied my lovely friends when they were born pretty and I'm not. I never choose my genes, my parents, in which womb I carried in. I used to think that my life will be totally turn out better if I were born as a pretty girl. Yet, these things, I couldn't alter it as I wished. Being born is the first butterfly effect I got. This magnificent movie changed my life, I started to ...
