Docs Phase

Just recently
ive been watching a few documentaries
that i found of particular interest
...well actually cuz they were oscar nominated lol
but neway got into the mood these past few days
felt the urge to watch something that had some scholastic value
or mebbe i just syiok sendiri
thinking taht watching these things would make me smarter lol




Newayyyy Burma VJ was one of the docs that got nominated
and for good reason
mainly due to the difficulty of actually obtaining footage
on what goes on in the military junta ruled Burma
it was a great watch as u could relate to it
due to our proximity with them and them being in ASEAN
kinda makes u appreciate life in msia more
but then again
the politics and corruption in msia is just as appalling
go watch this
actually go watch 'Home' first since u can just you tube it
this one go channel 4.com for those of u in UK
for those of u elsewhere....tough
cuz the direct streaming sites dont offer subs
and even if they do,
it doesnt make sense lol




The other doc that deserves praise would be 'The Cove'
even though i dont realy give a fk bout dolphins
it made me care for a second
and it was quite epic when that guy walked into the IWC meeting
with a computer screen attached to his body
of what was actually happening
but wadeva man
we have bigger problems than dolphins at hand
and sides dolphins are the only living creatures on earth
that can consciously rape females
and in most case the girls die......
due to drowning la
dirty minded ppl







This won the recent academy award btw
which i felt was a rather partial decision by the guild
due to it being american
and how made-for-america-the-film-was
and u know how ignorant those fools are in the north
so yea...bet most of them dont even know where Burma is
or what Home is about
i felt that 'Home' deserved more credit than it got
hence my annoyance to the matter
its just so effin pretty
watch 'Home' NOW
GO!!
All 3 of you
that means u edine n lionel and ronald
.....who i suspect are the only ones are still reading this shit
LOL :P
Its fking free and easy for gods sake
and it took 15 bloody years
for your pleasure and enlightenment



when youre done, come comment pls

Wanted to embed since the whole movie is distributed freely like 'zeitgeist', but its been disabled.


Was in the mood for a documentary so i googled and got this....and what a pleasant surprise it was indeed! Though the message maybe slightly cliched, the way the movie was directed and put together was amazinggg. Almost every single frame of the documentary is like an art piece that belongs in some atelier or museum. Every scene is just brimming with colour and such an organic feel its like giving your eyes a refreshing change of candy worth feasting on.


And the narration by Glenn Close helped in conveying the message well.



Avatar took 10 years to prepare and be made.......Home took 15 years! & im so fking relieved that avatar did not win best picture at the oscars.



Rated 8.1 on IMDB, go do yourself a favour and watch this! but like i said, its slightly cliched but u have to experience this assault of perfect imagery on your eyes to believe it for yourself.

Bridge to Terabithia

wow.

its been so long since a movie touched me this deeply...

wonder y i didnt pay too much attention to it in Form 1.

the way its been directed is so human and mature and the story so profound at times with all its indirect symbolism and link to each idea the story dishes out till 1 may think hmm this is definitely not targeting just a family audience. and the two mains' acting is so totally spot on and believable. wow man. the only qualm i had was that the ending could have been a lot stronger. doesnt hurt to say that annasophia looks really pretty too lol
















Do yourself a favour and watch this.

Theres also 2 more id recommend if ud like movies(like these) that strike u as generic but has a surprising amount of maturity and profoundness in the msg it delivers .









Trust me..:p
