During the time of Christmas, we sometimes forget the true meaning of it. There are many things we take for granted…

I went to see “A Christmas Carol” with my friend today. Although it was in some parts quite scary, I were with the story the whole time. I knew about this Dickens story before, but never actually read it, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. And while watching it, I had this really weird feeling at one point. When the dead man came through a door, with his legs and body covered with strong chain, that was attached to heavy iron things to keep the floating spirit more closer to the ground. It got me thinking - is life after death for some people (or for all!?) similar to that. Do we always stay floating in the air somewhere, desperate and tired. Life (and death) is a mystery.

But I really recommend this animation, especially for the holidays.

Georgiana, The Duchess of Devonshire: There are limits to the sacrifices one makes for one’s children.
Bess Foster: No, there aren’t. No limits whatsoever.

In opinion, these are the best lines to describe this artsy film.

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas tells the story of a little boy, son of a Nazi commander, befriending a Jewish boy same age. They are separated by the electric fence. Movie describes the horrible events of Holocaust through innocent eyes. Ending is tragic. Movies about Holocaust always make me sad, this one even got me crying.

Something got me thinking: what kind of people choose their own well-being over other’s deaths! Commander’s (aka monster’s) wife (played by Vera Farmiga) lives in a blissful unknowing, having no clue of the true meaning of Holocaust. When she gets to know it accidentaly, she is completely frustrated with her husband. The ending brings pain for both parent and seems like much-needed (though painful) lesson.

This movie ideally describes yesterdays impacts. It was my brother’s graduation and also June’s lousiest day. Oh wait, June is still lasting.
It’s going to be out somewhere in fall (the movie!).

Click, click…

Your typical chick drama. Hard times bring the tendency of watching lighter films.

No way, I am not going to that bad English boarding school.

Oh, am pretty as a pie.

Hell yeah, we are going to jump:

THE END.
