These days,i was busy watching a lot of movies.
I will write one of two articles tomoorrow to keep you more entertained than usual.

For now,i just want to list the movies i saw and i am largely impressed with some of movies that directly or indirectly gave me some impressions why humans do some things.

I couldn't forget the story of Citizen Kane.
The day he was seperated by parents who sold him to a extremely wealthy man(who in turn paid 5,000 per month to his parents and treat him as a real son)
As Kane grew up,he rebelled against his guardian by losing 1 million dollars per year as he turned into 25 years old inherting guardian's fortune and assets.
Till his second wife left him,he suddenaly realised that he missed the happiness he had with his parents,hence 'rosebud'.
It is one fucking classic example why money can get you everything except one very thing that you really want badly and yet u can't have it in any time.

싸움의 기술 (Ssaum-ui gisul)(Art of Fighting)(Korea 2006)
Click here for official website







It is one funny show depicting about a young man who wanted to learn how to fight because he was fed up with bullying.
Some mens gave a lot of rubbish suggestions to him how to fight and in the end they got themselves beaten.
He met a real master who really know how to fight.
Begged the master to teach him.
Finally master taught the basic things that require to build his foundation.
The ending was quite half sad and half touching.
People like Kar Ho should be watching this show.
Highly recommended.Not totally kung-fu fight but anyhow fighting that allow you to win the fight.It is really entertaining.No doubt.
The main male lead look like Jay Zhou Jie Lun.(first picture)
Rating:9/10

작업의 정석 (Jakeob-ui jeongshik)(Art Of Seduction)(Korean 2005)

This show is MUCH MORE FUNNY!*haha*
Player indirectly mean man or woman flirt and hooked their opposite sex as a pleasure.
Male and female player(two main characters) are tired of their opposite sex.
One day,they met each other and they immediately liked each other.
The next day,male player saw that female player as they were in the different cars waiting for the traffic light to change.
The moment the light change,the female player accelerated and sped away at full speed as if it is F1 race but nobody including the male player followed up
The male player was so shocked and tried to follow.
But he couldn't find and park at a side for a short break.
Female player pulled a similar stunt which she used it to hit all rich men.

HOW?SIMPLE!She just used her car to bang at male player's back of the car.
The male player was so shocked and angry at the same time.
He get out of the car and cursed at the her until he discovered that it was female player(they didn't know each other as player.of course)
She was thinking in her brain what he gotta say.
The 4 usual things men would say but the male player told her opposite.
Her morale was crushed as she got everything wrong.

As it went on,she and he quietly and constantly 'back stabbing' each other openly by playing against each other themselves.
*it was so hilarous that i laugh so much.Simply brilliant chemistry for a relationship *
*i really wish to be like that but then i am not very keen to be a player either*

The ending ended in a nice note.Ametuer players can't fool professional players.

Now i know why Son Se Jin(she was acting as femaleplayer) so attractive.
Although i heard a lot of korean fans telling me how pretty and attractive she is,i saw her in some old drama serials.
I find her decent and demure until this movie.
WOAH!So sexy and attractive.The movie she acted in alone is enough to justify the tag of pretty and attractive for her.

Everybody should see this movie.It may teach you one or two how to handle your man or woman.
Rating:10/10

Memoirs Of A Geisha(Hollywood 2005)
Click here for official website
It is a movie that a lot of people have been talking about.
Won some awards if i am not wrong.
I got it but i didn't watched straight away as i need to finish up my papers last month.
I watched it and i was amazed how the story about geisha told.

Simply great.Touching and sad love story.
Gong Li,Zhang Ziyi,Michelle Yeoh and some japanese male stars are well known figures in Asia.
They took part and acted.
I can't see any flaws.
I simple loved Gong Li's natural beauty a lot.

Sayuri who became the most pouplar geisha suffered a lot in many ways.
It took so long time not be able to with the man she loved till the ending was shown that the man finally came back to her.
At the same time,during the process to became full geisha(100% real) she had to learn a lot of things that you need to do as Geisha from young to adult.

Geisha is merely a entertainment performer not prostitute.
Sadly.sadly...
Adeline would have enjoyed this movie for sure.*haha*
Rating:9/10(it deserves to win awards(3 oscars out of 11 nominations)

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb(American 1964)
It is a comedy movie about bombs.
Frankly i couldn't catch the joke of what the movie was trying to joke about the bomb,America and Russia.

U.S. Air Force General Jack Ripper goes completely and utterly mad, and sends his bomber wing to destroy the U.S.S.R. He suspects that the communists are conspiring to pollute the "precious bodily fluids" of the American people. The U.S. president meets with his advisors, where the Soviet ambassador tells him that if the U.S.S.R. is hit by nuclear weapons, it will trigger a "Doomsday Machine" which will destroy all plant and animal life on Earth. Peter Sellers portrays the three men who might avert this tragedy: British Group Captain Lionel Mandrake, the only person with access to the demented Gen. Ripper; U.S. President Merkin Muffley, whose best attempts to divert disaster depend on placating a drunken Soviet Premier and the former Nazi genius Dr. Strangelove, who concludes that "such a device would not be a practical deterrent for reasons which at this moment must be all too obvious". Will the bombers be stopped in time, or will General Jack Ripper succeed in destroying the world ?

Knowing that it is within top 50 films and yet i don't get the whole point owing due to my age generation.
Rating:7/10

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest(American Movie 1975)

A classic movie winning 8 academy awards.
Once again Junqiu lent it to me and i watched it.

I must say it is really fucking good and it justify why it won 8 academy awards

McMurphy thinks he can get out of doing work while in prison by pretending to be mad. His plan backfires when he is sent to a mental asylum. He tries to liven the place up a bit by playing card games and basketball with his fellow inmates, but the head nurse is after him at every turn.
McMurphy, a man with several assault convictions to his name, finds himself in jail once again. This time, the charge is statutory rape when it turns out that his girlfriend had lied about being eighteen, and was, in fact, fifteen (or, as McMurphy puts it, "fifteen going on thirty-five"). Rather than spend his time in jail, he convinces the guards that he's crazy enough to need psychiatric care and is sent to a hospital. He fits in frighteningly well, and his different point of view actually begins to cause some of the patients to progress. Nurse Ratched becomes his personal cross to bear as his resistance to the hospital routine gets on her nerves.

It deserve to be in top 20 movie films.
Rating:10/10

A lot of movies left me a lot of impressions.
Especially McMurphy and Sayuri.You must strive hard enough to get what you wanted.
No easy path for both of them.

I am looking forward to write two articles tomorrow.
