watching movies is a luxury of time. better than gold. movies i’ve watched the past week:

Garden State (2004)

Kento recommended this movie. I think it’s a good movie. Lighthearted and leaves some room for thought.

Okuribito (2008)

I think this movie won Best Foreign Film this year. Never mind the accolades, it’s a good movie, worthy of any award it garners. It’s heartwarming and provides a good insight into a profession most people shuns.

Bad Guy a.k.a Nabbeun Namja (2001)

Another Kim Ki-duk’s work. It’s my second movie by this director after Mijung’s recommendation. The first was Shi-gan and it left me feeling very sombre. This one, I felt surprisingly calm at the end of the movie, which is not necessarily a good thing. Perhaps there are certain cultural attributes that are lost when viewing this movie using English subtitles, wish I could understand Korean though. I guess, this isn’t really my style of movie.

Taken (2008)

Action-Thriller type of movie.

Zeitgeist (2007)

A free-to-distribute movie that questions Christianity, the 9/11 and the global economy. It’s a good docu-movie that attempts to give you the other side of the coin through its carefully chosen theories and explanations. In my opinion, it’s a dangerous movie to watch if you’re not opinionated enough to make your own judgement.

Tony Takitani (2004)

Based on Haruki Murakami’s short story, this movie is a delicate and intricately carved piece of art. It’s calm, it’s tranquil. He attempts to paint the world of loneliness that Haruki Murakami fabricates, and how beautifully he managed it. Love it or hate it.

寂寞不是因为身边没有很多人

寂寞是当你在这么多人当中找不到某种共鸣与默契
