For most of you, maybe all of you who are reading, watching movie is just an entertainment thing, stuffs you do to kill time. But for some people, movies change their lives. I read an essay recently about how a refugee in Tibet struggled his way to Hollywood to become a director after he watched "Forrest Gump". Crazy much? I don't think so. *incase you think I am just making up stories - the title of the article is "Young Buddhist Warrior"*
For me, I think movies made huge impact in my life. One third of my language are learned from movies. In other word, movies shaped parts of who I am today. This is why I am doing what I am doing now because I think I can relate myself to it, not because how much I am gonna earn doing this (partly). So, for people to tell me I am being too persistent over just a movie kinda pisses me off. If I can't raise my opinion on what I am passionate about, what am I supposed to do else? Lose interest in life and stuck in textbooks with 500 pages full off bones and algebra or rocket science? I am not sayin' other jobs are not cool but that doesn't mean my work is any less cooler.
Also, I am not trying to tell you how right I am on movies and film stuffs. My initial intention was just to warn people of what's nice and whats not. I think bad movies (in this case, Transformers) deserve to have poor box office for not respecting the audience at the first place. Same applies to good movies. In the end, I am not the one who pays for the tickets, you guys can decide what to watch. You don't have to agree with me. This is what makes the world a greater place - diversity.
I apologized if my critics don't get along with yours but that doesn't make you right either. All I am saying is, I know what I am saying because (not that I am boasting) this is what I am good at, or the only thing I am good in. If I can't tell what's good and bad movie, I guess my entire future career is on the edge. So, please, forgive me, let me be right for this one. You guys can have science, maths and law.
