Instead of writing something that i'm supposed to continue from my previous post, or writing something about my current work and how much i really dislike my boss's work ethics, or how's my study for my adv. dip and how fucking expensive i paid for the taxi fare to get my arse to my class last monday. But today, i wanna write about a movie that i missed last year and is too good to miss for anyone whos in for a artsy fartsy(hope i spell it correctly) movie. Its one of the few movies that got me thinking, and I'll definitely recommend it to everyone.
Name of movie: Stranger than fiction
When we talk about the actor Will Ferrell, usually we remember him in comedies. Seldom you will see him acting in more serious roles. This show actually brings out another side of the actor showing how well he can act in a more serious role.
This movie is actually about the life of a person. From the time he wakes up in the morning, about how he actually calculates his timing to catch the bus to work, about how he works thru his day at his job, about how his day ends.
But one day while preparing to go to work, he suddenly hears a voice, a voice that actually depicts his actions thru the day, the way he lives, the way subtle changes affect his life, the thoughts that he actually have. And instead of living his life, controlling his own actions and thoughts by oneself, it becomes a life that he's actually living through the thoughts of another person, another person that actually 'narrates' his life. Having someone who actually control what time he eats, how fast he eats, who is he to love, what to do at a certain point in time, and even worse someone who can control when he dies and how he dies.
Scary thought ain't it? Having someone to 'write' your life out. But even when he knows how and when he is gonna die, he embraces it fully, finishing things that he wanted to always do, falling in love with someone that he'll never think of doing cos he's afraid, frightened that it'll be a tragedy.
Well, seems interesting ain't it? Well, I don't know bout you, the person who's reading my blog lol.. dunno if anyone visits my blog anymore since i dun update it that often and much. But if so far whatever i wrote actually interests you, please spend 2 hrs watching this show, its quite an interesting show to watch.
But to be honest, after watching this show, it got me kinda thinking, what happen when one day, you wake up in the morning, doing your routine procedures to go to work, or to school, you suddenly head a voice. A voice that's actually depicting ur every move, your every action, how you gonna live your life and then suddenly as your day goes along, a sentence is 'read' "Little did he/she know that this simple seemingly innocuous act would result in his imminent death." and then somehow you realize that you are gonna die, how soon or in what way that you are gonna kick the bucket you have no idea. And the more important fact is that someone is actually depicting your life in a story he/she is writing or thinking. Wouldn't that fact scare you? or rather knowing that you don't actually have control of your life as you know it. every action you do or thing you say actually affects your 'story' in some way?
hahaha, you might say things like "wtf hahaha why you so free can think of things like that?" or "You are your life's own master, no one else can control it" or "Heck, its just a bloody movie for Christ sakes lol"
Well like i said, its just some of the what ifs that i actually think of. It might not really happen or its just fiction. but somehow i like thinking of things like this. well nonetheless, this movie is definitely worth your 2 hours ^^ so enjoy the show if u are interested ^^.
Btw, happy 10 yrs anniversary to all Hongkongers on the 10th year where HK was returned rightfully back to the Mainland.
