11 hours is the amount of hours I spent in front of screens yesterday with Donkoi. We started off the day by watching 6 hours of Hong Kong series. Hilarious series - D.I.E., even the series title is a laughing stock.
Then, we rushed to Gurney Plaza for the last day of French International Screening movies. We spent RM40 for two movies - Tell no one and Paris, Je T'aime. Since we missed our lunch, each of us had a hot dog for our first movie...
Tell no one was full of suspend. The plot played way out of the box. No expectation seemed to unsolve the puzzle. Intriguing totally. Yet, it was not a movie that catching you on your chair. The movie narrated the story in a slow pace, taking your curiosity to sail along with it. I will give a 4.8/5.0 for it, for a movie that is not my favourite genre. So, if you happen to have a chance, watch it.
Paris, Je T'aime is a compilation of 20 short stories. It was confusing and complicated because I felt each of stories were told too little. They were all left hanging and should be ended according to personal imagination, I think. Right now, I am still thinking about this one story. It started with Francine calling Thomas, "Thomas Listen. Listen. There are times when life calls out for a change. A transition. Like the seasons. Our spring was wonderful, but summer is over now and we missed out on autumn. And now all of a sudden, it's cold, so cold that everything is freezing over. Our love fell asleep, and the snow took it by surprise. But if you fall asleep in the snow, you don't feel death coming. Take care." It ended there. Then, Thomas began to have flashback of his memory with Francine. The scenes took us to places, where the couples were seen hugging each other. The same places kept repeating with the distance between the couples becoming further apart. At one stage, they went back-to-back The following scenes were taken with no sign of the couples at the places. Suddenly, Thomas was brought back to reality by another phone call. Francine telephoned him again to seek his opinion on the rehearsed lines... [Francine was an actress in the theater] Isn't it like a flipping coins with two side of stories?! :-)
