yes yes, i know. A very late post, way after the dateline.
Not sure if it still counts but wanna say my thoughts anyway.
CA presentation was really interesting for me. Did alot of readups about the China industry and there were so many events and changes that were relevant to their state of affairs. Got a little confused by some contradicting events but the more you read, the more exciting it becomes for you to discover the facts.
Haha. I think my group presentation went quite well, it was kinda cool and I really got to know more about China directors and they are really impressive!
I really enjoyed HFTV classes, knew so much more about the factory 'Hollywood', European cinemas, how flim came about....
Just yesterday, I was blabbering to a friendly taxi driver about how Singapore once had a booming flim industry which (due to economic factors) died and all. He was like so shocked that I knew about Singapore way better than him and kept asking me about it. Felt sooooooo smart.
My most memorable flims has got to be Cinema Paradiso and Momento (like everyone else). Been really busy the past few weeks so I never got to watch any movies and I'm dying to go on a movie marathon.
Last movie I watched was 15 part II which my friends showed me on crunchyroll. If I'm not wrong, part II are the censored scenes from the movie screened in Singapore. Oh mann...there was this scene that was really really...intense. They were showing how people transport drugs from Malaysia to Singapore - by filling up a condom with the pills and then swallowing the stuffed condom down in Malaysia and then returning to Singapore to shit the whole condom out. The scene really made you feel sick as you watch the rebellious teens realistically force themselves to swallow the condom. And well, I kinda understand why those scenes were censored. Drugs, hinted homosexuality, gay one-night stand, Aids, porn, sex toys... the open-minded ones would consider those scenes humourous and educational but tt's hard to say for most Singaporeans....
Ok enough of that movie.
And please, let's all go for another movie outing!! (Couldn't make it for the dark knight one, but heard it was cancelled in the end...blahs.)
PS Ms Kwa: Send me home again pls?
