The Movie...
















I just went back from seeing The Reader and Revolutionary Road which they were quite good film, indeed. I prefer Kate’s acting in The Reader to Revolutionary Road, even her onscreen time in The Reader was lesser than another one but with her amazingly superb cold look and cold heart acting was worth to see. I’m a bit confused that her acting in The Reader being categorised for best actress in leading role instead of best actress in a supporting role??? I thought she should be categorised in the later one.

Another one actor I must say something here is Michael Shannon in Revolutionary Road whom he had a WOW performance, even he was onscreen for only two times but he completely managed himself to steal a scene over Kate, Kathy and others with his mental disorder acting. I really love his pain in the ass performance very much indeed and he reminds me two of all time masterpieces in celluloid film whom they are Dame Judie Dence (a native of Dublin) and Sir Anthony Hopkins (a native of Wales). Dame Judi Dence was playing in Shakespeare in Love which her onscreen was not more than 10mins or something but her acting was so outstanding and powerful and she completely made me to believe she was a complicated, snobbish, bitchy Queen Elizabeth 1on that period. Sir Anthony Hopkins was playing in Silence of the Lamp in 1991 with his soft-spoken and scary aura in Dr. Hannibal role which he was onscreen not more than 20mins, I reckon but he blew me away with his performance.

I did see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button on Sunday with roen and it was also a good film. Roen had just finished reading its original screenplay and told me the movie was totally different from the original story but I don’t really care as I love the idea of an ordinary life under not so ordinary circumstances as Benjamin himself aged backwards. Brad Pitt had a superb performance in the first half of the movie when he acted old and believed me he looked so bloody old;-)but after half, he was a bit invisible in a way as Cate Blanchett’s performance was out shine on the screen to the end. At the end of the day, it just felt like seeing another American movie in a way but a good one, indeed.

I started seeing Hollywood movies since I was 13 years old with my two close friends whom they were kasit and tieang (they were my best mates at Amnual Silpa school). We went to see movies every week, indeed and saw every kind of movies…comedy, drama, thriller, action, sci-fi…etc since then. The cinemas at that period we had often been to were McKenna, Hollywood and I could not just remember other two of them which they were located on phyathai rd. where they were close to my school. After seeing any films, we always talked and criticized abt any movies we saw and I loved this part really which many times it led us to have argument and disagreement from one another with our own point of view and win-win attitude;-)

I was a bit picky bitch seeing any movies when I was in uni and nowadays I am ways too picky to see any movies, after all. I do love any movies that could touch my feeling in some ways or all the way which mostly they are a kind of either drama or drama-comedy. My all time favorite movies always touched me at the beginning of first ten minutes play, otherwise I would walk out or sit still till the end.

I would love to talk, to express, to share my point of view and to criticize abt movies with my close friends nowadays but I would rather keep that to myself as Woody who isn’t into seeing movies or reading;-( and Roen who is into rubbishly commercial movies but at least I can talk abt reading stuffs with him tho;-)...
