Cry Me A Sad River (Movie)

Doesn't this look extremely dramatic? I absolutely love it.

 Short summary of the movie: A poor girl named Yi Yao is bullied to the extent where she cannot take it anymore. 

I'm not doing any sort of review that explains the whole premise and plot etc, I'm just voicing my opinions. For this, I might as well add that there might be spoilers.

Yi Yao 
This would definitely be on my top 10 list. I have rarely been on the edge of my seat for movies, but this movie did itself justice. It wasn't too depressing - there were moments of lightheartedness and warmth as well for a 'tragedy' genre movie. 

For the extremely soft-hearted it might be a tear-jerker but nothing came for me. What I will admit is that the movie made me experience many emotions and the beauty of it. You can feel and bond with the characters and what they endure. Bullying is a great way to show the seriousness of one's actions.

Left to Right: Annoying bitch, even worse asshole, really sweet twins and the guy twin is Sunxi, last person is Yi Yao
I had a bit of attachment to Sunxi, who was extremely supportive to Yi Yao regardless of her depressing behaviour (which was understandable given her situation) He was an absolute cutiepie and I genuinely enjoyed the bonding of the two. You grow to like the movie more than feel depressed about it. 

Still, the ending is quite tragic. I think it needed an encore. A "Say it again for the people at the back" because before Yi Yao committed suicide, she pointed out the people that bullied her and reminded them that - yes, it may not affect them, they might not remember it, but she vividly remembers the torture, bullying and hatred she received.

Just an extra note that the cinematography and music used is so amazing in this movie. Look at them. Gorgeous. Their acting was quite convincing.
In any case, my vote? 11/10. 100/10. A great movie to have a night alone with if you're feeling comfortable letting go.

Midnight Runners

Short summary of the movie: Two guys decide to go to Police University to become policeman, develop a tight friendship and get involved in a trafficking case that they are adamant to solve.   I'm not doing any sort of review that explains the whole premise and plot etc, I'm just voicing my opinions. For this, I might as well add that  there might be spoilers. This movie may be one of the best comedies I've ever seen. The chemistry between the two characters really made the movie gold. I didn't expect the humor in here as well as the reality of certain concepts. This can be watched alone or with family and everyone would be having a great time.  These two were so entertaining to watch, though they're damn cute as well The developing, comical and strong bond between the two characters are extremely hilarious and heart-warming. I really enjoyed this even though there is a dark matter involved in the movie. I don't want to spoil too much however I wil...

The Breadwinner

The Breadwinner I mean, first look at this pic and tell me whether this looks promising or not: Whether or not you agree with that, I for one was interested.  Okay, that was a white lie. I saw this picture first: And thought "A powerful little girl associated with being the financial supporter of a family, I'm sold." but it doesn't scrape the fact that the first picture was just as interesting - the background itself set everything; tone, scene, time. In any case, you get why I was drawn into this movie. I'm not doing any sort of review that explains the whole premise and plot etc, I'm just voicing my opinions on the movie. For this, I might as well add that there might be spoilers. The Breadwinner is frickn amazing. I cannot believe a cartoon so gorgeous produced by Angelina Jolie herself (correct me if i'm wrong, she has co-produced it with someone that I forgot and am too lazy to actually look up) could be so heart-wrenching and le...

In Between Seasons

Soo Hyun and Yong Joon, the lead characters that are extremely precious Short summary of the movie: Two guys (Soo Hyun and Yong Joon) develop a bond together until it becomes stronger. Soo Hyun gets into a car accident and Yong Joon has to endure the hardship of their loved one in a coma - with a really unpleasant mother.   I'm not doing any sort of review that explains the whole premise and plot etc, I'm just voicing my opinions. For this, I might as well add that  there might be spoilers. Watching this movie taught me a lot of values; Patience being one of them. I think the movie was beautiful in it own way with both characters performing extremely well. It was immersive and yet, quite sad in my opinion. It's realistic and you'll develop a bond with the characters. They definitely make you feel like you're a part of them and that you're going through their journey.  Precious little beans, Yong Joon backhugging Soo Hyun The ending is open to in...
