I wanted to and tried to blog about this movie after I watched, but I can't put words into it.

So, I just want to tell you.

JUST WATCH IT!!!!


P.S.
I love all the casts in the movie. I always am a fan of Leonardo, and I like Ken Watanabe since he played in The Last Samurai. But now, I like Arthur (Joseph Gordon Levitt), Eames (Tom Hardy), Ariadne (Ellen Page). Especially Arthur to be honest, I really think he's very cool!

Nodame Cantabile Finale

Finally, after a 3 months of long wait, the finale is here!

After 3 months, I can't really remember the details of the first part movie. So, on Friday night before we watched the show on Saturday, we did our very own movie screening at home. So the first part ended with Nodame feeling sad that Chiaki can do so well compared to her. And her professor asked her to stay apart from Chiaki for some time, for her own good.

I like the first part compared to the finale. I think because the first part, Nodame was the Nodame we knew from drama, crazy and unreasonable. To the finale, Nodame has grown up, she's a little bit sadder in character, and more mature. Less craziness.

However, good thing about this finale was, some of the lovable characters from drama played a part too. Masumi, Ryu and Miki. It's just nice to see them together. And not to forget about Ryu's father. Kind and lovable, and creative on the set lunch's name, like "Nodame beef set lunch" :P

There's a new instrument introduced in finale, which is theremin. Watch this video to understand what is a theremin :)




But still, the movie guaranteed you a good laugh from start till the end. No doubt about that.

It's been so many years since we started to watch the drama. I remember we were still in our final year. And now, we're already in 3rd year of working life. Time flies.

The finale of Nodame is kind of like a "full stop" of certain part of the memories. Kind of.

Please, don't try to watch this if you've never watched the drama, the special episode, the first part!

Plot:

Steve Lopez (Robert Downey Jr) from LA Times met Nathaniel Ayers (Jamie Foxx) when he was playing violin by the street, with two strings. Steve found out that Nathaniel is a child prodigy and was once a student in Julliard College, and hence decided to write a column of Nathaniel's story.

On Steve's way to find out more stories of Nathaniel, they had developed a special friendship. While writing about his life, Steve was trying to improve Nathaniel's quality of life, and also the mental state. But frustrations came when Nathaniel refused to cooperate.

Steve's good intention wasn't fully received by Nathaniel, but the friendship remained.


Reviews:

It was a really funny show, and yet sad at the same time.

It did make me ponder, on the good intentions we have to help people, how much will it be well received by the receiver? How much did the receiver want help from us? Did we ever ask before we offer? Or we force our way through to earn our karma?

I am always a fan of Robert Downey Jr. And I've watched some shows of Jamie Foxx, but in this show, he's exceptionally good. Even better than Robert Downey Jr.


Verdict:

Definitely worth to watch!
(I wonder how did I miss this show last year. I found out from my colleague that this show was only shown in Singapore for a very short period of time, with almost no publicity. What a waste!)

The Best Love Story in 5 Minutes

Since I was in all the love story mode last weekend, I can't get rid of this best 5 minutes moment from "Up".

This was the best ever! Short & sweet, and touched your heart at every corner.

情节（如果不想破坏自己看电影的新鲜感，请看结论）：

Gru一心一意想成为世上的第一大坏蛋，得知Vector偷走了金字塔而引起世界的轰动而感到非常的不满，因此决心要盗个比金字塔还轰动的——月亮。

要把月亮偷来，就得靠“缩小”仪器（小叮当的百包袋里有），把月亮缩小才带回地球。可是那仪器落入Vector的手中，Gru想尽办法，都入不了Vector的城堡。

无意间，让Gru发现Vector爱吃饼干，而且，还轻易的让三个孤儿院的小女孩进入他家，兜售饼干，还下了一笔可观的订单。Gru因此到孤儿院领养三个小女孩，想趁她们送饼干的时候偷偷溜进屋子，把仪器偷走。

一路走来，原本很厌恶小孩子的他，慢慢地爱上这些女孩。而担当起一个真正的父亲的责任。

后来月亮偷了，也还给了天空。女孩子们变成了他的女儿，坏人留在月亮回不了地球。故事就这样经典的圆满结束。

结论：

很经典的动画故事，坏人好人两方拼。不同的事，所谓的好人，Gru也是个大坏蛋，只是有另一个比他更坏的敌人，Vector，而显示出他比较好。不过说了是经典动画故事，坏蛋总是有点疯癫，说坏嘛，也不过是搞笑。这就是动画美好的一面。

情节的节奏有点快，有些应该可以感人的地方，还是欠缺了一点什么。如果可以更细腻的描写角色的感情，就可以融合娱乐和感人于这部动画之中。

3D效果很不错，不过，动画的仔细程度，不能媲美近期也刚刚上映的Toy Story 3，故事情节也是输了一载。不过，下班后当作是纾解压力的娱乐，是相当合适的。

意外惊喜：

Julie Andrews竟然有为这部电影配音，配的是Gru的妈妈。

Minion原来是个荧光棒。（这个情节，是本人认为全套动画里最最最好笑的一节）



Thank you omy for the movie preview!

很久都没有这样疯狂（无聊）

不知道为了什么，我这个周末特别懒惰。什么都提不起劲，唯有赖在苹果前看了一部又一部的电影。总共看了四部。（好几年都没有这样了，最后一次我在电脑前看马拉松电影，应该是大学时代了）

我想这部戏大概是在讽刺所谓的secret agent吧。整部电影，不管是真的CIA，还是退役的，还是普通市民，都在跟踪。

可是，为了什么跟踪，为了什么怀疑，为了什么杀人，都没有人知道。

电影结束以后，其实只是一场又一场的误会。

人死了，埋了。秘密收藏了，CIA总部耸耸肩。

算是带点黑色幽默的电影。

泪腺很浅的我，看着这部电影，泪流到不象人。

一段唯美的爱情，就是因为唯美，才需要电影。

我突然也很想写情书⋯⋯

看这部电影之前，一直觉得刘若英配张学友太奇怪了点。可是看着看着，还是挺顺眼的。

这部电影有点像好莱坞的New York I Love You（虽然我还没看），是很多不同人不同环境谱出的恋情。

无聊的时候，就是需要一点，这类轻松的爱情片。

海角七号，因为还想看一部流泪的电影。可是，有点失望，海角七号并不是预想中的那么好看。普普通通，爱情介于唯美和现实之中。

不想一般唯美爱情的电影，也不像现代城市的爱情。一半一半吧。

和“情书”一样，故事围绕着情书发展。

因为生活实现是的，因为生命里没有唯美的爱情，所以我们需要电影。只有电影才能实现一些不现实的想法，一些无厘头的梦想。
