Just caught this in the cinema.
As a musical fanatic, how can i possibly miss this one out.
i mean, just look at the cast, the trailer, the scale of this film. it's too good to miss out.
i shall skip through all the details and get to the point.
Hmm. it's typical of a French, in the style and idea behind the precipitation of this story. Although this movie is an adaptation, i guess most of the idea behind the original novel was preserved ( i did not personally read the novels before, but with the attention given to each detail, i can figure that they did not destroy the original story).
With a big change in the society, there needs to be sacrifices made. that is, in humongous amounts. blood flows into rivers and tears into lakes, there is always one thing we can't fight against. Life.
everyone just thinks differently and lives according to how they were raised, or were moulded into by the society. the sets of values we have inside of us might not be the same but in circumstances of hardships, all that every single person wants is just a meal, a hope and a place to call home. dilemmas rises, we question our conscience and what we used to believe in. we might take on a new belief or give all of it up.
there needs to be a huge period of passage of time, a whole lot of agony and struggle and an unimaginable number of hearts to stop beating, before we can truly embrace a new world. and it is with the memory of these pain that gives the present meaning and hope. so that for generations to come, they don't face the same situation that happened. but no guarantee on what other questions might the future pose.
the actors, amazing. music, touching. cinematography, outstanding.

something related.
it's been a hard time these months. been struggling to find something to live for.
i'm not going to kill myself, just thinking that my life should be greater than this, or at least more exciting and colourful than what it is now.
people are fragile stuff.
i'm frightful that my friends will hurt themselves but i do hope they come full circle with what they are encountering now. i understand some situations make people lose their mind because they didn't happen before. but hold on, you'll find a way out if you try really hard. i know life is cruel and painful but it doesn't mean giving everything up solves all your problems.
sometimes, i can't make them understand what i'm talking about. they listen but they keep twirling themselves in repetitive thoughts. i've been there as well, i didn't recover immediately. but forcing yourself to see the truth and accept the decision you've made makes you come back to reality. regardless of how painful it might feel. the pain is another matter again. but at least, you made an effort to snap out of the mire.
if words can describe how painful i feel as well. aish.
i'm equally helpless these days too.
i can gladly use a hug and a warm smile.
