Written Contusions

I saw Finding Nemo yesterday with Kathy.

I found the whole tale of Marlin's quest to find his son very captivating. It has strummed more than three heartstrings in me... a commendable feat for an animated film.

Do you believe in the principle of favorability? I can relate this movie to Paolo Coelho's view that the universe conspires to help a person. Marlin was so bent on finding his son and he did not let anything stop him, even sharks. I guess that is just an exagerated way of showing it but it did what it was supposed to do.

The character that was so endearing for me is Dory. She was so fickle in the beginning and she was so easy to please. I like her attitude but in the end, she was the one who helped the separated clown fish see each other again. My favorite part was when she told marlin that before she met him, she cannot even remember her own name but when they were together, she remembers things, even the address of P. Sherman 22 Wallaby Way, Sydney.

Two nights ago, I watched the Animatrix and it also blew my mind off! The images were visually stunning. The stories were great especially the second renaissance I and II. I found the beginning of the war between man and machine very sad. How I wish it did not happen in the Matrix universe.

I smoked a cigarette while I was finishing the second CD of the Animatrix and it was the first time that I smoked a very awful cigarette. I smoked that brand before but this time, I felt dizzy and my extremities felt numb. I think I should quit smoking now or else, I won't be able to stop it.

Last night, I watched the movie "Hero" starring Jet Li. I liked the movie because of its stunning visual effects. I really liked the concept of Flying snow and Moon fighting in a forest with falling leaves. You have to watch the movie. Right now, I am still stunned by what I saw and these words that I wrote cannot capture the essence of the movie's beauty.

My teacher, Ms. Vivienne, told me that it was better than the Lord of the Rings movies. Coming from her, I got curious becuase she was also a big LOTR fan. In my opinion, you cannot really compare the two movies. I think it is very good for its kind, especially the cinematography and the choreography of the fight scenes. As for LOTR, it was beautiful because of the environment being grand and other worldly. Plus, the idea and the presentation of those majestic elves really blew my mind. Look at Arwen.



i think that both movies are great.
