Warm Bodies: This is not a Review

It was my first time to go watch at the movie house alone.
To be honest, it was really hard for me to decide whether to do it or not. First, I don’t want to waste money in a movie if I wont enjoy it. So I was scared that I wont be able to enjoy it because I’m alone. However, I really really really want to see this film because Niholas Hault was in it and the fact that it is a new form of RomCom. But my friends and family can’t come with me, i understand though.
Gladly, I had the courage to go in there and just do it! Or I guess, watch it!
I was late but good enough kind of late. Luckily, the theater wasn’t crowded so I get to choose where to sit. The center. Not too far. Not too near. No one seats on either sides. There was silence.
So the movie is kinda different. But it still is funny, sweet and thrilling. So I laughed, smiled, got thrilled in a very discreet manner. That was the sad part.
I really loved the movie. No questions asked. But as I laugh, smile and be thrilled and be amused and be all kilig-ed, I was also feeling sad because I hope there’s this special someone who could I laugh with, be kilig-ed together with, and be scared along with.
But that part of me was outshone by the enjoyment i got from the film. So yeah. It was a bit sad experience but I’m not saying it isn’t fun though. :)

Film: Becoming Jane 2007


"Becoming Jane" is a love story which setting is in 1975. It was inspired by Jane Austen, a well-known writer, and her relationship with a young Irishman named Tom Lefroy.
This film is about one of my favorite writers and i love that her masterpieces were also inspired with such a wonderful romance she had. Its not just romance but also a bit of history. watching the film felt like i was a very close friend of Jane and Tom. i've witnessed their love and also their hardship. and yes, i am an extreme fan of Anne Hathaway and James McAvoy. they were very great in this film. ^^

i love how their different paths crossed and progressed. Jane was just from a poor family who dreams too big for a women like her. She was supposed to be married to a wealthy man to help her and her family as well. but she was firm on what she believes and that's to marry a person she truly love. She hoped that through her passion in writing she could still help her family.
Then from a very different place, Tom Lefroy who was a non-aristocratic lawyer with bad reputation, came to Jane Austen's life with a very bad first impression. they believe that Tom Lefroy was Mr. Darcy of Jane's Pride and Prejudice. so as their mind clashes and cat-and-dog fights, they eventually fell in love with each other. which was a dismay of both of Jane's family and Tom's Uncle which was also his provider at that time.
So they run away with their love as their strength. but behind Jane's witty mind, she started to doubt if love was enough for them to live life together forever. that was the moment i really cried. i believe that love was really enough for the both of them but Jane doesn't want to be selfish. So they retreated their plan and grew apart from each other.
at the end, Jane never got married and obviously become a successful writer. Tom Lefroy got married and named his eldest daughter Jane. after few years they met again and it was visible in their eyes that true love was once shared by them and still does exist.
another thing i love about this film was how the story evolve during the time she started writing Pride and Prejudice. it made me understand more the inspiration of that book she wrote. and also, i dream of becoming a writer. So Jane in the story inspired me more to write and make people feel what to feel in a literature.
this film really made me cry not just because they didn't end up together but it was because of how love was so complicated. i've always thought that once you found that someone, love would be enough. but that doesn't mean Jane and Tom wasn't meant to be. they were. its just that they lived with reality and not ideally.
here are some quotes i've remember:
  • Tom LefroyI am yours. Heart and soul, I’m yours. Much good that is. 
  • Jane Austen: I will decide that.
  • Mr. WisleySometimes affection is a shy flower that takes time to blossom.
  • Jane AustenA woman especially if she has the misfortune of knowing anything, should conceal it as well as she can.
  • Jane Austen: His heart will stop at the very sight of you or he doesn't deserve to live. and yes, i am aware of the contradiction embodied to that sentence. 

Film: Tangled 2010

"Tangled" is inspired by the fairy tale "Rapunzel". it was said that "Tangled" is the most expensive animated featured film and was also the 2nd most expensive film ever made. no wonder why it is such an amazing film! i love how this film was created. i even watched interviews of the director and cast because of my fondness to this film. The screenplay of this film was excellent. they created a new dimension of the fairy tale. It made the film so much interesting. :)

of course, Flynn Rider is my favorite character. i think he is the most charming prince out of all the disney princess films ever made. this film isn't just for kids. and i love that. the two main leading characters are not perfect and they have flaws. which make it more realistic and fun.
and the soundtrack of this film was amazing. i love every song. i even downloaded it and place in my phone. :)) it was a great news when i figured out that Mandy Moore was the voice of Rapunzel. i fancy her. and i think she did great in this film. its harder than acting. i think. :))
there are so many things to love in this film. the character, the animation, the music, the innocence and humour. and i wonder why do people say that this film was no good. it was worth seeing!!
and honestly, Rapunzel and Flynn made me blush and made my heart melt. :) i love how it had to end through cutting Rapunzel's hair. and they lived happily ever after. ♥

quotes i loved from the film:

  • Rapunzel: Something brought you here, Flynn Rider. Call it what you will... fate... destiny... Flynn: A horse
  • Flynn: You were my new dream. Rapunzel: and you were mine.

Film: The Butterfly Effect 2004


 
"The Butterfly Effect" is a drama thriller film which title refers to a chaos theory that says that even something small could make a huge effect. Starring Ashton Kutcher as Evan Treborn and Logan Lerman as the 7 years old Evan.
The story of this film revolve in the special mental ability of Evan Treborn to get back to the past. I would honestly say that this is one of the best Science Fiction film i've seen. and the 3 men who act as Evan Treborn was really great.
first, Evan didn't know the ability he has. He thought that it was just like the blackouts his father had. His dad was in a mental institution because of this said blackouts. Evan though used this special gift to make his friends and love ones lives better. He reads this journal to get back in time where he had this blackouts. then later in the story he'll discover that he can use other medium to get back in the past.
every time he change something in the past the future changes too. i love how each scene compliments each other. its like a puzzle movie then suddenly it was not. it was full of different stories. there were scenes that are disturbing. but this thriller film was more of a psychological and mental suspense film. i was like so into the movie i couldn't get my eyes of the screen.

They say that this film have alternative endings. i love the ending where after everything, they meet again and finally Evan could start a new normal life with the person she saved and always loved.
here are nice quotes from the film:
  • Dr. Redfield: Just think of your mind as a movie, you can pause, rewind or slow down any details you want.
  • Jason Treborn: you can't play God, son.
  • Evan: you were once happy... with me.
