My last entry was talking about keeping fit. The first meal I have today was nothing other than the greasy McDoanld's Big Mac meal served with Coca-Cola McFloat and fries. (I have already exercised restraint by not ordering the Chicken Wings)
It's so boring sitting here at home, you know, so I decided to do something for a change, which usually means one thing: Movies!
I knew that Robots the movie is out a long time ago in the America, but it's the first day they show the film in Hong Kong. As a general rule if a movie is originally narrated in English, I will go to watch the English version. For Broadway Circuit, only the Cinematheque shows animated features in English (until recently do they show them in Palace IFC as well). That's right, going straight from Yuen Long to Yau Ma Tei to watch a movie, alone, which is what most people regard as crazy.
Robots is a movie talking about a young inventor (who himself is a robot) going to the big Robot City. As with any animated movie, it can be boring for any grown up to see it... it's always the same kind of story, blah blah blah... The theme is always one of these or those, and they certainly lack the "action". This movie is about a dream to fulfill. And no matter what you are made of, you can shine like the many others. It's these movies that touch people's life and give the magic to those who like to dream. Of course, if you enjoy movies of a more popular nature, you can always buy another ticket and see them across the hall.
... but a dream that you don't fight for, can haunt you for the rest of your life.
As always, I like the computer graphics from Pixar a lot more than the other studios. But this is nevertheless a good one.
The excitement of the day ended right there.
It's happy to know that people are quoting my weblog. Two secondary schoolmates of mine quoted respectively my entry about KCR's newsline and the supermarket. Thank you so much.
