Movie(s)

ah.. its something rare actually..for me to write something that is non poetry..
but.. since i have nothing much to do lately..
so i watch lots of movies..
on HBO i mean..
but among all.. there were two that caught my attention..

1)the bucket list..

a story of 2 dying old man...cancer due..and the doctor gave them 6 - 12 months to live..
one is a billionaire..Edward..a grumpy selfish predator-like billionaire..played by Jack Nicholson..and the other..Carter..a mechanic...played by Morgan Freeman (as always..a great actor to watch)..decent..mild-mannered..loves Jeopardy (that t.v show)..great knowledge...

they met in the hospital..sharing the same room..and when both knew the fact that they had less than a year to live..they share a list..things to do..named the bucket list..supported by Edward cash power..and Carter beautiful dreams..they did marvelous things..things that many of us can only dream of..

its not what they did that actually captured my attention..but the character..their differences..
both are great actors..with so many great things in their resume..but the way they played their part..in completing each others remaining days..its great..

and one thing for sure..they both manages to see death..as not a bad things..but simply a cycle of nature..

and the cliche of it all..both buried on top of mount Everest..thou its illegal..
and as Tommy (Edward loyal sharp mouthed assistant and Carter helpful friend) said..
"i know he will enjoy this..because its against the law"

how witty.. how slick.. even after death.. they still enjoy their life..

2)Beowulf

At first..when I first heard of this movie..the only thing that crossed my mind was..another typical action movie based on the Norsemen.. the Vikings.. what so good about it?
well..what makes me watch it..simply the animation..for i am a game addict..it was like watching on of those CG movies for Warcraft.. Starcraft.. Diablo.. those Blizzard made..it always a new sensation watching them CG for games..
and Beowulf gave me the same emotion..

but..a butt in that but..

as the movie went half way..after Beowulf become a king..it became a drama..a very good storyline..of how man lies..simply for their own sake..and how that lies..will one day..come back..haunting..

Beowulf..his sin..creating a monster that ironically will be the instrumental hands that end his life..still..as a man..a warrior..a king..he..in the end..stood tall..facing his own sin..his own lies..and die as a true man..

what so good about this whole thing?
SIMPLE
"one shall sin..and lies..but one shall not get away with it..for only true man..confront his fault..admit his wrong doing..and suffer the consequences"
that is what Beowulf did..
and that is how he gained my respect.. (which is not easy to get)
