It's been a while. Well, more than a week, really.

I would just like to say that, yes, I am alive. Almost.

Though not as pleased as I wished with my grades. Hope I can get better. --'

Only two more essays to finish and one exam to take. *breathes* Finally. I seriously don't want to think about how I will behave on my Senior year.

Bin-jip a.k.a. 3-Iron (South Korea/Japan, 2004) ***** - This was probably the best film I've ever seen on a movie night. I have to give it the merit of not once making me feel sleepy, even though it has practically no lines. It'd been a while since I'd seen something so... beautiful; probably since House of Flying Daggers and Hero. Oriental films really do surprise me sometimes. If I get started on the cinematography I may go on for hours. Since I'm a lazy girl, I will just say that even if the film sucked, it would still be worth for the cinematography. It's a different kind of beauty from Hero-like art, though; much more subtle. Just... go see it, will you?

"I love you" - Tae-Suk, Bin-jip

There were two other films. I don't know the name of the second one in English or even the original title, which is Swedish, if I'm not mistaken. Liked it very much, but unfortunately slept a bit through it, for was immensely tired. The third film was so weird and crazy (Harry, un ami qui vous veut du bien) that I'm not even sure if it's worth an LJ-cut. Plus, like I said, I'm lazy today. *grins*

Head in the Clouds (USA/UK/Spain/Canada, 2004) *** - Have some doubts concerning that rating, for the film was good but... at the same time it wasn't. But I think I'll give it the three stars for the cinematography and the first part. The plot back there is much more interesting. The director could've simply cut about half an hour of the part regarding the war easily; it made the whole thing boring and clichéd. Anyway, totally worth for Charlize. That woman surprises me every time.

"You choose people, don't you? - Guy, Head in the Clouds.

Hotel Rwanda (UK/Italy/South Africa, 2004) ***** - "This is a true story". It'd been a while since I'd been that shocked over a film; shocked to the point of crying over and over and over again. Maybe since Shindler's List, and that's been a while. No words to describe it (not being lazy right now). It's just... Goddess. Sometimes it's impressive how we really do live in a bubble. Don't have to tell you to go see it, do I?

"There will be no rescue, no intervention for us. We can only save ourselves. Many of you know influential people abroad, you must call these people. You must tell them what will happen to us... say goodbye. But when you say goodbye, say it as if you are reaching through the phone and holding their hand. Let them know that if they let go of that hand, you will die. We must shame them into sending help." - Paul Rusesabagina, Hotel Rwanda.

Alila (Israel/France, 2003) *** - I was sleepy and it was a but boring because of that. But it's really... peculiar. Each shot has at least five minutes, and each could be a short story. I wish I knew more about the Israelite society to be able to actually understand some of the critiques that I'm sure I've missed; definitely would get at least four stars if I did. The "reading the credits out loud" thing was a bit creepy. *grins*
