catching on with age
i wonder if this dormant blog is still in use.
2 great movies in 2 nights. 1 of which i've watched it years ago. i guess one of the signs of you putting on with age is when you have different feeling when you watched a show that you've watched before and catch a very different unerstanding of it.
American History X and Road to Perdition. both of which required me to check out wikipedia or webster for clarification of something in the meaning... i checked up on 'perdition' and it said 'hell'. or like 'final destruction'. so literally it means road to your death, or something like that. which gave me a very different understanding of the story indeed. and of course i had a friend who told me American History X is about anti semitism. which i thought was basically like anti jewish.. but the show clearly wasnt. it was about white guys against black guys and so on. but anyway, my appreciation of the films told me otherwise, that they were about family love. one of a father's love and the other a brother's love. both of which dont want their kid/younger brother follow their footsteps and someone died as a result. amazing how they fit in perfectly together.
kinda in those situations where its really hard to tell if the father or the elder brother were bad guys or good guys. but their love for their family clearly was admirable. lots of gunshots here and there of course. a lot of black and white used in those films too.
jie wei and co missed their flight back to london. which means instead of seeing them at 2 am tonight, i'd only see them at 2 pm tmr. 12 hour difference. 150 euros difference.
kinda lucky i didnt book the car to oxford. really lucky. these are all risks..
seems like i didnt utilise my britain card at all!
the room's in a mess and as usual i am in my procrastination of cleaning it up again. i wonder if i'd wake up in time to do groceries and cook them a welcome back meal. hm.. how about going for fish and chips hhaah.
at the rate i am spending... i dont even dare to update my account on how much i spent.
