My mom made it even though she was sick...she's the best mom ever. She didn't nag at me for three days and that got me worried. Believe me, worried! (ask my sister) Sigh...a mother's love is somehow the most present when she starts nagging because sincerely, I CAN NEVER LIVE WITHOUT HER NAGGING...can you believe that?
But oh well, she's all better now, already started nagging at me to wash the shoes, wash the dishes, wash the pots, clear up the room, hang my towel...Yup, no doubt abt it, she's perfectly normal! :D
And I have this stupid ulcer in my mouth. Why is it stupid? I was prevented from fully indulging in the full taste, hotness and "syiokness" of it in my left side of the mouth. Hence, my right side of the mouth is quite tired from the non-stop chewing.
But like SJ said a few days ago, no pain no gain! So guess what? I got stomachache and diarrhoea yesterday and this morning because the fried rice was too spicy for my stomach to handle (I think)...but who cares, I'm better now, that's why I'm posting...but DAMN! the taste is unforgettable! (I think I have to watch more of that TABOO show and see them eat more tarantulas before I get over it...
Ok, last night, I watched the Saturday Night Movie. They were showing "The Sixth Sense" on Channel Five. Here it is:
Directed by: M. Night Shyamalan (1999)
Main Cast: Bruce Willis - Dr. Malcolm Crowe
Haley Joel Osment - Cole Sear
Toni Collette - Lynn Sear
Olivia Williams - Anna Crowe
Nominated for 6 Oscars - another 31 wins and 37 nominations
Ok, this movie was good, really good, really really good.
The main plot is abt this boy called Cole who obviously sees dead people. They come aft him, in the beginning for no apparent reason, or maybe just to hurt Cole (that' what he thinks). His mom, Lynn, loves him a lot but Cole is constantly bullied and called a "freak" by people around him. He then seeks help from a child psychologist, Dr. Crowe, who needs help himself in trying to fix his relationship with his wife, Anna, who no longer speaks to him.
And so the story goes on, until [SPOILERS] Cole learns that the ghosts that meet him are actually looking for help (reminds me of ghost whisperer) and then Dr. Crowe finds out that the reason why his wife no longer talks to him is because she couldn't hear him. He was dead from the start. [END SPOILER] A great ending or what?!
Anyway, Shyamalan did an awesome job with his directions and ideas. He used cameras in creative waves to portray fear, anxiety, distress etc. , kinda like hypnotising people in the way he wants people to see it from their TVs, making us believe that we can see the the dead people's world from a dead person's point-of-view.
There was one scene when there was a mourning for a girl that just died. Shyamalan makes it such that the whole camera was not on a proper stand or whatever, almost like it was handheld, purposely making it move in an unstable manner (or possibly by using a dolly that can move in all directions or sth) and then the tension was there, as though the viewers were spirits just floating around listening to random (well, obviously not) ppl talk.
Anyway, Cole's room's position was just right. It was at the end of a hallway and we can see all sorts of things going on along the hallway (like ghosts walking behind him)etc.
Haley was as good as when he was on A.I. He has this thing which I call the "kesian"/"kasihan" look (pitiful look)to him naturally. Very obvious from this two movies.
This kid is amazing! Somehow, your heart just goes to this kid(in the past) and you tned to relate to him. A natural, I must say. His intonations while reading his lines really depicts the feelings he's suppose to have during the scene. Yup, really adorable when he smiles too.
Ah.
Of course.
Bruce Willis.
The troubled man himself. I love Bruce Willis but in this show, he was a man of few words. His expression was stoic most of the time but during the crying scene, he cried like a man! Lots of feelings in there. Just great!
But really, congrats to Shyamalan. Really, the best thriller director of the 21st century!
[Honestly though, I prefer "The Village", also directed by him]
Enjoy! See you in probably...two-three days time!
Love Tweed!
