I watched some movies as some sort of a break while writing, so I am keen to share some interesting movies worth watching to keep u alive, or to boost u into appreciating life more than u do now..
Since I am in the middle of completing my other assignment, which is a 4500-word research essay (in the last blog was 9000-word thesis draft) , I wont be writing that much, but I'll edit this later to add reviews in my own words..
For the time being, here are the movies that kinda inspire me to look at life in a different way (it's not that different, i was not that materialistic even before watching them):
Into The Wild |
This movie is based on true story about this pelajar cemerlang nama Chris, specialized in economy if im not mistaken, tapi rasa tak suka dengan material dan harta, tiba-tiba decide to explore the nature and leaving all his stuff behind without even informing his family..you can read the sinopsis here .. It doesn't have pretty ending tho..What I learn from the movie is, material don't make u happy, like what Chris felt when he felt all the bills and everyday life as a worker of a company,it's tiring, but to get lost in isolation, away from other human is never a good choice..love keeps us going living and happy, although human make chaos, but don't be the one who makes chaos, be the one who makes peace..and insyaAllah we will be surrounded by peaceful people too..

The Road Within |
Cast Away |
Rain Man |
About Tom Cruise as a greedy guy who just found out his rich dead father left him only his car but all of his fortune to Tom's brother which is kept secret from him all this while. He discovered that his older brother has autism and he at first wanting to take him to live with him so he could get the inherited fortune. The excitement starts when his brother (Dustin Hoffman) refused to travel by plane, so they have to take a long road trip to get to other place. Read here for more, I watched this some time ago, maybe 2 years ago but it still in my mind, it touched me, like how the other movies listed here did eventho it's not much about nature vs human, but it's the road trip or journey that they have in common.. How the journey, the travel they took together had enabled love and human-bonding to defeat greed and selfishness and materialism...and I love both of their acting..
