Be alone. Turn ON your air-cond. Turn OFF your lights. Wrap yourself in a comforter and lay comfortably on your bed. This, I conclude, is the best way for you(or at least me) to watch a movie because only with complete cold and darkness will your emotions come out when watching a movie.
I did just that last night. I watched CINTA, a local production which is now playing in the cinema. With the usual expectation that most local movies suck, I wasn't expecting much of this movie in the beginning. Tapi itulah, you never know until you finish watching. CINTA is nothing super duper excellent Oscar-worthy movie, but for a local production, this is worth watching. 5 love stories, all captured in one movie, you might think it's Love Actually "celup" but while Love Actually is a heartwarming romance, CINTA is heartwarming in the beginning but turned out sad in the end. Kinda remind me of Sad Movie, Korean production.
The movie started out as if I was watching a TV ad. Then started out a Zainal Abidin's song, which I love coz I think he's a great singer. Some acting were great, some acting were so-so and I did feel that at a certain part Sharifah Amani is overdoing it. My favorite love stories are that of Dato' Rahim Razali & Fatimah Abu Bakar and Nanu & Que Haidar. So real and so touching they brought me to tears(and I've never thought I would ever cry watching a Malay movie). Losing memory is indeed, to me, still the saddest thing in the world. I suddenly remembered A Moment to Remember while watching CINTA. *I guess what I am blabbering about will only makes sense if you've watched the movie*. That small girl kid having to go through her parents divorce in the movie brought me to tears also.
All in all, this is a good movie. Worth your 10 bucks la. So everyone, if interested, go watch okay!
