The Spiderman of New Era

I still vividly remembered the original movie of spiderman 1 being released 2002. I just started my secondary school and now, I am a graduate from a university. It is like unbelievable how 10 years just gone by. That time, all of us in our class of 42 students were crazy over Spiderman because we had seen it in comics and cartoon; but, never in real human-acting. 

It was one of the movies that those days, I would spend my precious pocket money to watch in the cinema. Obviously, after viewing the movie, it inspired me deeply as a human being and as a dreamer. It somehow told me that nothing is impossible. Tobey Maguire (Peter Parker) acted as a timid student with very good results. One day, he was bitten; thus, he obtained superpower which not only enhanced him physically, it made him a stronger person. The development of this Peter Parker was so much stronger than the new Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield). While a lot of friends prefer the new 1, I still have heart for the old 1 because the old 1 just taught us that even you are small on the outside, you can still be strong if you want to. Another point is that Aunt May in the old movie is far better in term of the feeling.  The Amazing Spiderman is of course far more handsome and cuter. But, in the movie, he didn't project the development from weak to strong intensely. Perhaps, the director wanted to focus more on his past which the old movie didn't highlight at all. This is definitely a plus point (^^)

Another twist in the new spiderman is that his love interest is Gwen Stacy, not Mary-Jane (><). Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy) was great in the movie. She embodied the character quite well. Of course, in spiderman 3, there was also Gwen Stacy who wasn't the main character. Funny, they have similar appearances. Hahahah!The Gwen-Stacy-Look (^^). Anyhow, without knowing the sequel development, I still prefer to have Mary-Jane as the neighbour (><). Kristen Dunst did an amazing job as Mary-Jane. Her life is just as difficult as Peter Parker. But, she made it to Broadway! Another inspiring moment in this classic.

While both spiderman movies are in different directions, I still prefer the old 1. How about you?! Have you watch and compare? Peter Parker and Mary-Jane, both are the legend of spiderman; it is hardly possible to break this image. But, I still believe the new spiderman has more to offer. Hope a better sequel soon (^^)!!!

The UP-heaval Prelude of Life Symphony With A Beautiful Merdeka Day^^

Last Wednesday, I finally went out with Janice, Shiwei, Alice and Yvonne like a mini farewell for Janice who is going to transfer to UK this September. Oh, many of my friends are venturing to the other side of the world. Yet, I am still here - the same old me~~~~ I felt like the old man in the [Up] movie.

Haha, however, that old man really lives!!!! Well, the story begins with the old man meeting his active-energetic future during his childhood. They have all the dreams in the world to live an adventurous life! Yup, they wanted to build a house on the edge of Paradise Waterfall@@. However, sometimes, life just don't follow the way we want to, right?! Well, their life was being portrait through this lovely song! I fell in love with the prelude of the movie (^^)!

The song was sweet and joyous at first. Full of colours, I would say. Yet, life is not perfect. Ups and Downs are almost inevitable! Sad things would happen. We lived life, we grew old - the cycle of life. Ooo, that scene was really touching! The feeling was some sort like what I have experience from [here]Wall-E!!! It was simple yet touching! Then, later, I found out that the writer of both movies were the same - Peter Docter!!!! Well, don't really know much about him! But, his way is simple;but, meaningful!(^^) This might be his magic?!

When his beloved wife passed away, old man was totally lost and kept himself sheltered from the outside. Until he was about to be sent to Old Folks' home, he decided to take the whole house to Paradise Fall, just to finish his lovely wife adventure's book! Of course, the cutie Chinese boy accidentally tagged along. They really ended on the Paradise Fall.

Ooo, from there, so many things happened!!!!He learned that he had to move on even though he is that old!!!! From his wife's adventure book, he learned that she really treasure every moment with him. Marrying him and growing old with him was her adventure of the lifetime(><)!!!! The story here taught us that nothing is too late; age is not a barrier; time waits for no one;... the list keeps going on~~~
