About a Movie

From the title, you can already guess what i am about to write. Yes, it is about a movie called seven pounds. The movie was made in 2008 and will smith is the main character there. And i guess he really moved me. His acting is just stunningly good and impressive.

So let's start with the synopsis. 7 Pounds is a story of a man who accidentally killed his fiancee and 6 other strangers during a car accident. With him not being able to live after what he did, he decided to help 7 strangers whom he thought needed help the most.

The synopsis may sound a little bit dramatic, but to me the movie really worked it. I find this movie sad and heartbreaking. As unrealistic as his noble actions were, they still got me thinking how selfish i've been. Maybe i need to watch inspirational sad movies more oftenly so that i would be constantly reminded of how a horrible i've been.

Lately people have been talking about a movie called,"The Fault in Our Star". The novel was indeed very famous and almost all my friends read the novel. They have been talking about how sad and blablabla. Let's just say that all my friends are crazy about it.

Then the movie was released about a month ago. For me who don't read the novel, i know nothing about how sad and good it was. So when i finally watched the movie, i had my expectations. it's been a long time since the last time i had a good cry from a movie, so indeed i was very excited.

After 2 hours the movie ended. Even until now, i still don't understand whether i'm being cynical because everybody is crazy about the novel or i just simply don't find the movie that great. I didn't even cry. Okay maybe my eyes got a little bit teary but that's it. Needless to say, i was disappointed.

But it's possible that i just don't really like the movie and the story. i guess by saying so, that kind of makes me sound like an evil bitch, which is the real me HAHA. For me personally, it was too exaggerating. Maybe because they're still teenagers? Maybe i've been watching way too many movies? i don't know.

No offense to all TFIOS' s fans, i'm just simply expressing my thoughts about the movie. Maybe i don't understand the beauty of the story since i didn't read the novel, so pardon  me. i hate reading, that's why :) i judged based on the movie only.

Anyway, i bring this movie up again because i kind of wanna compare it to the movie that i just watched. 7 Pounds, yes the story doesn't really make sense and some parts are just way too exaggerated, but i still find it better somehow.

In my opinion, being an adult is the hardest thing in life. Adults have more complicated problems and they have experienced life longer than teenagers. I guess that's why i prefer 7 pounds. To me, people have never experienced their greatest pain before they reach adulthood. With this kind of mind setting, i guess that's what made me to have such weird taste in movies.

Again, i'm not talking bad about TFIOS, just simply stating what's on my mind

okay this entry has become too long so i'm gonna stop writing now. Thanks for reading (:
