Somehow my bed time became later and later as the week progresses. Like walking in mud you go deeper and deeper.
LOTR3. I think i expected too much out of it. Before I went in, this is what i knew about it:
- 11 Academy Award Nominations.
- #2 Top grossing movie of all times in the world.
- Japanese girls come out weeping from the emotional ending.
Things that I got out of the movie:
- Sir Ian McKellen is a great actor
- Legolas is COOL
-
People in this movie are too often dirty - Let’s all die more than once
(Legolas out did himself in this one. He is too cool)
So I went in thinking, “Okay, there’s at least one scene that will be very emotional, so I’ll just let it wash through me. I won’t hold back anything.”
Near the end of the movie, during a sad, calm scene, I started hearing sniffing.
“sniff”
“sniff”
“sniff” “sniff”
The process of thought that went through my brain:
- “Hm?” (whats that sound?)
- “ohh..” (it’s people sniffing.)
- “what de..” (wait, why are so many people sniffing?)
- “ooOOoh” (they’re crying… this is IT* , the crying scene)
- “Hm.” (howcome i don’t feel a thing?)
my eyes were red and watery, but from staring at the screen for 3 hours, and yawning.
my rationalization: all the emotional scenes are built upon the strong friendship between the characters. i don’t feel that friendship
my god im fainting, i have to sleep
art director, sound, mixing, costume, makeup, music, visual, editing,…..
It’s almost expected that a movie like LOTR will be nominated in all those categories, *cher*.
i went to see how good it is for best pictures and directing. i guess the number of nominations don’t really matter in my case. “oi, shimatta!”
Hey Guh, howcome you turned into Andy Lau in the pic?
o haha.. i just used this picture cuz i really like it.
cool expression
