I did not go home in Klang this weekend. Mum's seems to be a lil upset over it. Well, I'm an adult now, and I think I have the right not to go back once in awhile. Busy with editing work this week, another job coming in tomorrow. The pay is not much but well, it kills my time as well.
Manage to catch few movies this week. Inspirational, heart wrenching movies.
Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire (2009)
Story about an obese and illiterate girl by the name of Claireece 'Precious' Jones with a life defeating history. Being raped by her estranged father, and bore 2 child by him by the age of 16; and abused by her unemployed mother who torture her mentally and physically. One can only imagine how much she has to endure to be able to live on especially the scenes when her mother downgraded her to being useless and incapable.
Invictus (2009)
1995: A history in making. Nelson Mandela was elected the president of South Africa, ending the era of Apartheid. How to unite a divided nation with the long lasting hatred and racism between the Whites and the Blacks? Rugby! Funny it may seem, the vision of the man himself is just unbelievable. I can only wonder why don't our politician have visions like him? Morgan Freeman played a solid Nelson Mandela while Matt Damon's role is just under developed through out the story. However, the message is strong and it rings to us that the country with the most brutal and serious racism with thousands of lives sacrificed in the post WWII history, can set things straight with a inspiring leader. I hope I can wait till the day where things will change here in this country.
Well, Monday is here. Just hope the numbers are good when I see it tomorrow. Gnite!
