A Movie review on “A Moment To Remember”

“A Moment To Remember” is a Korean movie which shows true and unconditional love.  It displays heavy drama, comedy and a bit of family relationship which also displays parents’ love to their siblings.  In this movie also displays Korean way of living. The climax lies on the situation where the lady will be suffering Alzheimer’s disease.

The movie is good to watch especially this coming Valentines Day as it displays how love should be shared to the person you love.  For sure, your love for each other will be bonded again because of the sacrifices and twists which make this Korean movie one of the best Korean love affair movies.

The movie started on an incident when the guy named Chul Soo and the lady named Su Jin met in a convenient store.  Su Jin bought a soft drink but forget to grab it when she left.  Chul Soo and bought the same soft drink.  Su Jin returned and assumed that Chul Soo got the drink she had bought. This is their first encounter and afterward followed by other acquaintances despite their their social difference.  Su Jin is a daughter of a rich family while Chul Soo came from a broken family and currently working in a construction site where Su Jin’s father is one of the big bosses.

The next chapter is when Chul Soo and Sujin are preparing for their married life.  This also starts Su Jin’s Alzheimer’s disease manifestation.  Chul Soo had learned the situation and prepared himself on the possible situations that may arise in which it was displayed how deep is his love for Su Jin. Highlighted in this part is the way both parties respond to Alzheimer’s disease.

The last part of the movie are the effect the Alzheimer’s disease inflected to the couples.  The grief both parties experience, the sacrifices and all the things that come as a result of the disease were given emphasis.

This Korean movie, though sad, yet it is full of inspiring situation where you can show deep affection to your love one.  As mentioned above, your love should not only be cherished and remembered, but it should be done in way you will not expect any in return.  This movie is 100% a love story showing unconditional love.

This movie was launched during 2004 in South Korea and I have watched only yesterday.  Check it out, i am sure you and your partner or love one will enjoy watching this movie too.

The Classic Movies

All movies are created good in their own ways, but due to individual differences we tend to watch movies where we could relate ourselves to the story.  But there are classic movies which are worth collecting and this depends aslo to our character and tatse.

Classic movies, though I have watch them over and over again still have that feeling of excitement especially on those suspenses where an almost impossible thing needs to be done.  This might be also the reason for those movie collectors.  Epic movies are of my favories.  Though I watch different genre, I prefer watching movies with the terms of lords, pricesses, king and queens and the like.

How about you, what type of movies you like most?  Do you have any specific genra which struck your attention most?  All of us have likes and dislikes when it comes to movies.  Though I am trying to review those I have watched, my reviews will be obviouly different form yours.

It so happen i have to work for something else and so, I did not have the chance review those movies I recently watched.  Hopefully, I am able to update this blog in a regular basis again.  For now, all I want say is that I am currently watching movie again and i will write a review after this.

Race the Sun

Race the Sun is a movie focused on high school student who are competing on race using customize solar powered car.  It all started when a new enthusiastic science teacher arrived at their school and motivated their student to do the project.  It is actually a science project to promote solar energy.

There was once a science fair conducted near their school and the science teacher required the student to go to attend the science fair.  One of the students was amazed on the display which showcase to solar power.  This solar powered display is owned by certain student who, by that time was being sponsored by one the companies who are producing photovoltaic.

This group of student is not actually one of those in the honor role, instead, they are one of those low ranking student in the campus.  But after the science teacher introduces the solar energy to the class and through photovoltaic system, the teacher described how the energy should travel from the photovoltaics to the batteries and to power the car.

In short, these students decided to pursue the project to build a solar powered car.  At first, they could not assemble the car and their teacher noticed this problem.  Their science teacher talked to the shop teacher to help the student, but the shop teacher could not agree because of the behavior these students are showing. But later on, the shop teacher agreed to help the students to build the car.  Luckily the captain (student) came up with a good design to be built and he got the idea on the cockroach.

To sum it up, Race The Sun is a good movie to be watched.  Movie writers and producers should be doing such movie like this one to promote not only the use of solar energy but also to showcase how mother earth should be treated.

Saving Private Ryan

“Saving Private Ryan” movie is one good movie of war and love.  War because of the introduction of the movie that it was almost the same with the “Longest Day” war movie.  Sometimes war movies are good to be watched especially if you want to develop brotherhood and comrades among your peers.

Saving Private Ryan, because of Private Ryan’s parents request from the General Headquarters for him to sent home from because all his brothers were also soldiers and had been all dead in the war.  The parents love from their children had caused them to make a move to the general headquarters to sent him home.

Tom Hanks as the Captain who led his troup to find Private Ryan had done all their best as soldiers to accomplish their mission.  They search all those companies in war and on their search, as soldiers in war, they encountered difficulties which includes feeling of civilians who were affected by the war.

Though the movies is done in war, it really does not focus in war but on saving Private Ryan.  This is actually the thought that made me write a review of this movie.  Since it is during war, dead, wounded and gunshots were ordinary in this movie, but the idea of following Tom hanks and his men on their search to save Private Ryan is one thought everyone should see.

I would like to recommend this movie to be watched by students especially those who are studying Literary criticism.

The 300 Spartans

The “300″ is one of my favorite movies.  I am truly amazed of the literary terms used in the movie which triggers a movie goer to feel exactly the feelings of being outnumbered in war.  The motivation King Leonidas had inflected to his warriors made them brave enough to die in the battle.

The love of country and freedom could really make everyone to sacrifice even their lives just to achieve the freedom evry one is dreaming for.  The passion displayed in the movie is realy one true emotion that could make everyone to be carried away. In the movie, the Spartan law “retreat no surrender” is a one true factor which shows Spartan as unique Spartans.

I don’t remeber anymore how many time I’ve watch this movie “300″ and every time I watch it, the feeling is atill the same.  it looks like I am watching agin for the firt time.  Truly this is one great movie every should watch.

The values included in the movie is remarkable too.  For this, I would like to recommend this movie to be watched especially by the students and let them digest the values presented in it.  This will sure develop the value of love of country and brotherhood among students.

I should be watching this again in the future.

White Chicks

Movies, movies and movies are created for entertainment.  It is a good past time too especially when are tired of that 8 hours day job.  Watching a movie is one good thing to do.  Well, depending on your mood, and if you went through a rough day, I would like to suggest you watch this movie “White Chicks,” a one hell of a comedy movie that will surely make you laugh. Of course, there are lots of comedy movies out there, it so happen that this movie is the one available at the moment and truly, it made me laugh and laughing is good.

The camera tricks had made its way on this movie and you can watch it with your kids too because there no such daring (to the extent) scene presented in the movie.  Well, maybe I just got the censored one, and you should too.

I did laugh on the two other detective brought to their office the original ladies who were then stripped off their clothes.  The detectives learned that there are impostors of this two ladies so, to prove they got the impostor, one of the detectives forcefully grab the tube dress of the other twin.  The nude upper body was not shown , of course, but the reactions of those other officers in the office were shocked.on what they’ve seen.  There are other scene where it triggers the audience to laugh of course.

Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans truly perform their best on this movie, congratulation.  You might say this is already one old movie, you are right, but it doesn’t old movie it no longer good.  Comedy movies whether it is new or old they are still comedy movies which could make the viewer laugh.  Try to pick one old comedy movie to see for your self.

One thing is sure when it comes to comedy movies, it is all created with general patronage.  Unless, of course, if it is created the other way.

Clint Eastwood: Gran Torino

I just recently watched this ‘Gran Torino” of Clint Eastwood and it is not an ordinary movie compared to other movies Clint is the main character.  In the movie, there are lots of values everyone can take to consider such things. This only proves how seasoned actor Clint is in the movie industry. Congratulations  Clint. First and foremost, is the old age tackled on Sigmund Frued theory where old age come to think in detailed basis the things a person went through during his or her early age and this includes the separation of loved one through death which was given emphasis in the beginning of the movie.  Later, the main character (Clint) while thinking of how his life turned out, diverted his attention to a young Chinese boy which later became his friend. Another scene that captures my attention is the way the integration of culture is shown.  In this movie, the immersion of another culture is very important as it shows in a good relationship form his neighbor.  Though the beginning is not that impressive as well as the second encounter.  But Clint learned something which made him become friendly to the other party. The third one is when the movie focuses the attention to the young lives.  He even integrated himself on the life of the young people which become the reason of his death.  Though in the real situation, I think, there is only one in million individual of that age who is willing to do such sacrifices for the benefit of a young individual which is in no way related to you.  But of course, some of the scenarios in this movie depicts what is happening in the life of those in the adolescent and especially in adult and old individuals. “Gran Torino” is one good movie, but not as good if young individual will be the one to watch it.  I would like to recommend this movie not only for those adult member of the society, but most especially to the students.  It is not only that they will learn something about the movie, but when it comes literary perspective, there are lots of situation which boldly shows how literary terms are revealed in the movie. That is just one simple view and review of the this movie.

Primary Colors - A Presidential Election Movie

I should have watched this movie “Primary Colors” before the US Presidential election.  I found this movie a good one in terms of finding ways on how to destroy your opponent in the election.  Well, this is just another fact which shows politics is a dirty game.

I am not telling every politician has a dirt on his or her face, but since they will be the leaders of the society, it is just right to know all the things around and within them so as to determine their efficiency on managing the country’s economy and others. This enters the dirty part where competing parties will dig each others background.  The information then will be published depending on the other party’s decision.

“Primary Colors” shows such things in which they really dig such information about the other party including proposals which may have been interpreted beyond what is meant to be.  In the movie, a chapter of the proposed agenda of the other party was dug and drive into the other way around which causes the a Presidential candidate to suffer heart attack.

Just like in the real elections, there are also deaths and people die in such a brutal manner which is not really given emphasis on this movie.  Only two persons had died in the movie and both coming from both parties.

During the US presidential election, I am only being updated through reading online news and watching local TV news.  I am not in the US, so I really did not feel the excitement which was showed in the movie “Primary Colors.”

The part that strick me most was when the President (John Travolta) and his campaign manager went to Pickkers house to discuss what will be the information that will come out.  in addition, I choose this picture because most the pictures in Google is linked to another website and it is not presented as picture.

To sum it up, this is a good movie and I would like to recommend that future and young poilitcians should watch this movie to have better view of what lies ahead of them while they pursue their career as future leaders of the society.

Wall-E – a garbage collector robot

Wall-E is another cartoon movie produced by Walt Disney Production that attracted my attention.  Thought this is a cartoon movie, the thoughts it represents in connection with the Global Climate Change has shown concern. This motivates me to write review of this movie.

But first, let give you an overview of this cartoon movie that attracts my attention.  This movie review does not in anyway a promotional move to promote any of the things within the movie and the movie itself.  This is a pure perception of the author who wrote this movie review.

This movie is presented by robots and computers which have great connections with the human activities.  Just like today, people are so engrossed with the ease computers offer.  Not to mention that computer and the internet is making its ways to become the number one source of work and income.  And, in the following days or years to come, there might be chances that people will experience some of the things presented in this movie.

For this, I am highly recommending this Walt Disney movie to be watched not only by children, but also by adults especially those who show concern to environment and to the world as whole.  This will be another inspiration that we, as humans and the first and last to suffer when this lovely earth turned red could make favorable moves to change or even divert the current situation.

Overview of the Movie:

Wall-E is garbage collector solar powered and computerized robot designed to clean the surroundings.  In the advertisement shown in the movie, this is a kind of robot that when set to work, there’s no stopping it.  The robot will collect and dump all the garbage that it collects and pressing it out to produce a square blocks that could be used as a walling or any thing that needs a wall.

The world in this movie is so advanced that the advancements lead for the leaders to create a life sustaining shuttle designed to stay out in the space even for a long time and it can even preserve the lives of the people within.  The space shuttle is equipped with all the things a human being needs through out his life.

Before the earth will be totally destructed, the space shuttle was launched with selected individual within.  This is almost the same with the idea presented in Noah’s Arc in the bible.  Just like in the book, the space shuttle remains in the space for around 700 years.  There had been lots of turn overs of Captianship to man the shuttle within those years.

From time to time, since the space shuttle itself is fully automated, a robot was designed to return back to earth to monitor the present condition.  The last news the previous and all the successive captains of the shuttle, receive that life is not yet sustainable in the earth, thus, they need not to go back yet.
Until one day, a robot again was sent to the earth to check if there are already changes about life sustenance.  Within that day, the Wall-E robot, since it is also a computerized and solar energy powered, is still collecting garbage and the earth is full of garbage that time.

The wall-e robot is program to clean only and not to destroy any of the living things including plants.  One the day as the wall-e is piling up the pressed garbage notice a small herb. On that day also, a fully computerized with sophisticated power robot name Eve was sent to the earth to search for facts if the earth has now the ability to sustain life.  The two robots met and the story begins.

Watch it out too, you will surely be entertained too while watching this movie.
