Movie Review: The Croods, A New Age

-

This movie is so underrated it's a crime!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH. SO FAR THE BEST ONE I'VE WATCHED THIS YEAR (which actually doesn't mean anything, because I've been on a 'movie slump'). I couldn't stop laughing at the dark humour. But let's be honest, the characters are... not very pretty. 


At the start, I thought Hope and Phil were villains. When Hope gave Ugga the fruit basket despite knowing she wants to stay, I was ready to slap her silly. They look down on people and instead of lifting the Cavemen up, they want them outside the fence where it's more dangerous. It's a typical Us and Them situation. And they gaslighted Grugg and Ugga!! But afterwards, the movie show us how people can change to become better and relationships can bloom if given time.


Dawn is so adorable! I would love to be her friend! I actually shipped Eep and Dawn together. I think if Dawn has to made a choice between Guy or Eep, she should choose Eep. When Eep crawled all the way up the tree defying gravity to confront Guy for calling her a 'cave girl', I was cheering for her all the way up. "He's a boy. He's Stupid". I agree. But still, I think Guy is a nice guy, pun intended. I'm just going to admit that I don't like Eep. I admire her muscles and feel really sad for her when she is going through issues, but her character is just not endearing to me which is really a shame. It doesn't mean I think Guy should have ended up with Dawn instead, Guy and Eep together is cute. (I don't really like Guy as well AHAHAHA) As a whole, although I don't like any of the characters (except perhaps Dawn and Ugga), they make the movie work. I just won't set any of their individual photos as my wallpaper like I did with Olaf in Frozen.

Girlfriends are the best.


THUNDER SISTERS!!! GIRL POWER!!!! WOMEN SAVING THE MEN!!!! I love that scene where the grandmother gives each of them new superhero names (My favourite name is Bog Water) and the dramatic scene where the thunder sisters arrive just before the monster eats the men!!! Girl warriors on wolf spiders?? AWESOME. Then a dash of bromance?? Men cave? Banana Bros? Fathers crying and admitting they are wrong? This movie embraces feminism and non-toxic masculinity, and I'm so down for it.


And of course, the animation, the colour and the concept are wonderful!


DA DA DAAA!!!     (I don't know which sloth is cuter, Belt in The Croods or Flash in Zootopia)

When Sash (pink) proposes to Belt(Brown), it's so cute!!!
I love to carve my mind into words, to trace my heart on paper. Here, to type as my voice sings inside my head. Embarking on an adventure of self acceptance, self love, self improvement and soul searching. I wish to share it, the ups and downs. Perhaps I could inspire someone to finally start their overdue pilgrimage, or to be a friend to someone who is on the same hike. Expect personal stories, lessons learned, controversial opinions, fanfictions, honest reviews and emotional rants. You can call me Tortoise!

Monologue: Rambling about Hobbies and Adventures

-
Image
(weheartit.com) (The Hobbit) I like quiet solitude. The nights I'm alone, locked in my room, reading or solving puzzles. I have more hobbies than reasonable to have and a ferocious appetite to find more games or interesting skills to learn. It is an innate sense of mine to be Jack of all lanterns but master of none.  I desire to be a polymath, everything intrigues me, but I'm perfectly aware that I do not have the patience nor the talent to be highly skilled or excel in anything which distinguishes myself from the mundane. I imagine myself a butterfly, fluttering around every vibrant flowers, yet never stay too long or too short on any. I understand that despite the sky being the limit to available options, I am bound by my own wings and mortality. There is no use being unrealistic but revert to stoic acceptance that I can salvage what I can, and ignore what I can't. Having spent ample amount of time on self-reflection, I have come to the realisation that I'm like a Hob...

Movie Review: Marriage Story

-
Image
(Pinterest) A love story about divorce. Some scenes were very hard for me to watch or understand. I wanted to yell and judge both of them but the single and self-consciously naive me would shush me. The divorce in this movie is certainly complex, or are all divorces this way? I thought it was just a final showdown for two people who hate each other leaving a mess for the children. I did not expect divorce could be a narrative of romance. Charlie and Nicole clearly love each other very much. I really do blame the lawyers. I really hated the lawyers. They keep pushing them to hate each other and assume the worst of the other. They 'advise' them to make deadly strikes when they say they don't want to. I hated Nicole at some point. Why does she have to get a lawyer? They decided to end their marriage without one and nothing changed that such a need arose. The court room scene was the hardest thing for me to watch. They clearly feel embarassed and guilty to put each other throug...

Dreaming About My Future Life

-
I find my mind drifting to the future recently. Imagining the days I would have, the life that I wish I would lead. It's so fun decorating the house I have in my mind. It's like playing sims social or cafe story (My knowledge of games is limited). I would probably still stay here in my little town. I love my little town. The other place I might consider moving to is Ipoh, no explainable reasons. Maybe it's the rumours of good food or the excellent people I know who come from Ipoh. I actually love the current house I'm staying. My room is the best place in the world. But if my parents want to sell it and move back to their hometown, and my sisters are married, I'd want a small little apartment. Like those in F.R.I.E.N.D.S but I think that would be difficult or impossible to find here. It's not going to be minimalistic. Decorations would be everywhere, souvenirs and gifts from loved ones or places I've travelled to, all displayed in the living room. There woul...
