Movies

I got a question to ask all readers out there. Its about movies. How would you define a "good movie" or a "bad movie"?

What constitute to a good movie? The comedy? The action? The storyline? Or the hidden meanings? Or perhaps, the actors and the actress?

Just watched a movie VCD. This movie got me thinking about some stuffs.

This movie is about a girl, she had a foster father and 3 uncles who are in the traids. The father and the 3 uncles are very close together, are buddies and brothers. Then suddenly, the father dies (murdered) and the 3 uncles started fighting among themselves. The murderer is one of the uncle, and the other uncle finds out. He got murdered too, by you know who.

The girl wants the uncles to disband, cause she did not like to see them fighting among themselves, and in a bid to stop their fighting, she make the ultimate sacrifice, her life. It was after her death that the surviving uncles and the traids disband and the murderer live the rest of his life as a monk.

The movie got me thinking. Brothers or buddies are not supposed to fight among themselves. Especially for power and prestiage and money. What's the meaning of "Got wealth we enjoy together, got misfortune, we face it together" Chinese translation from " you fu tong xiang, you nan tong dang"? What's the thing about power and ego that is more important than brotherhood? Don't they think about the past, how happy they were when they are out enjoying together?

Number 2. Why must someone make the ultimate scarific before all the others see the light?

You may think, its just an movie. But look around you, look at the past archieves of the newspapers. How many lawsuits you saw that the siblings suing each other to grab hold of the wealth of the parents? Or worse, resort to killing each other just for the family fortune? The black politics of companies or even goverments?

Talking about friends, lets move on to another path. This just came into my mind. Take a moment, stop and think. How many "good friends and buddies" you had in the past that you had lost contact? Do you still remember them? Can you still recognise them when you happened to pass by on the street? (I prob disappoint my English teacher again, for being out of point.)

Treasure your friends, and with buddies, the same principle applies in a relationship. "GIVE AND TAKE".

Back to the movie. What i like at the end were 4 sentences. (At the last part of the movie).

The world did not change because of her.
Yet, she tried her very best,
To change the people around her.
There is good in us, Still........................

Coming to the 4 sentences, can you remember anyone in history that changes the world in terms of moral awakening? Can you imagine the efforts they put in to change the world? Can you imagine the difficulties they face?

Last but not least, the only heartaching (nothing to do with moral this time) part of the movie, is the crashing of multiple cars during the duel. No, they are not Ferrari, nor Rolls Royces, just a normal saloon car, but the sheer multiples of it, i feel heartache. Hey, Mr Director, if you are seeing this, pls spare one car for me please?

Okie, now then i shall answer the most important question that you all have in your mind. Title of the movie is, "Mob Sister".
