Unforgiven

Unforgiven

Just watched a splendidly provocative movie called Unforgiven at Cathay Cineleisure with Peng today. Cathay always shows good foreign movies. That's something I realise. Initially, supposed to watch it with Daniel, but that arse insisted it is a "bloody stupid" movie without having watched it in the first place. And he even insulted me. What the fuck. Fine. I gave him too many chances. He's now the unforgiven.

For one thing, I'm glad I was stubborn and insisted to watch the movie even though Peng was very reluctant to watch it. I've eyed that movie long before it came out and it turned out to be as good as what I thought, or even better. It is such a relatable movie told with such poignance and directed with such honesty and transparency that I almost cried at the end. In case you don't know what I'm talking about, the movie is a Korean flick revolving around the lives of army men in Korea, showing the struggle of this lead guy who lost his direction while in army and was inflicted with abuse and violence while in camp. The story ended tragically, which was rather expected. All in all, it is a very powerful movie with a strong voice of condemnation of the country's system and the irrelevant and unnecessary suffering of average Joes. Catch it if you can. The girls might catch no ball though. Haha.

After the movie, we had a long conversation since the movie itself provoked so many thoughts. Peng claimed that he could really relate to the lead guy in the film since he himself felt the same way. Actually, I felt pretty much the same too. There were times I kept questioning about the entire system and my plight and just couldn't help it but get upset over it. But I kept telling myself to be strong and all that. I kept preaching to people about keeping positive thoughts but sometimes I don't practise what I preach, which is rather ironic. What I can say is, this experience is something our female counterparts will never fully understand. Hopefully, this sentence can reach an end soon so I can be freed. Right now, I know I still have to press on. So peng, aaron, ah neh, remember, you never walk alone!
