the Secret

Been quite a while since I watched a decent film at the movies. Yepps, (harry potter not counted). Watched The Secret, (bu neng shuo de mi mi ). Yepps, it's quite good despite being like 10 minutes late. I was rather lost, as I don't know why the coldness apparently induces the need to pee. and i kept going to the toilet.

Let me begin with pre-movie happenings. Alright, it was raining like mad. Torrential downpours, I mean even torrential does not do justice to the amount of rain that was gushing down. It was almost like it was hailing. hailstorm, just no snow, but water. Yeps, and water soaks your jeans and immoblizes you. Paralyses your leg whenever you feel the tinklish coldish feeling up your nerves, really freakish. Of course, I remembered to ask my umbrella to tag along but apparently I don't have Gaara's Ultimate Sand Defense so I was like harassed by the rain nonstop for like 20 minutes of walking. Walking straight was a tough challenge. And even the defense of the umbrella seemed negligible, I was soaked. Really soaked badly.And the cinema was really really cold, cold like. Well err the stuff I say.

Okay. Now on to the movie itself. Rommance, drama styled movie. One thing that actually initiating captured my attention was the fact that it involved piano and music, which was rather unorthodox I guess. It's rare to have a show so centered around music and piano.

SPOILERS ahead. (or atail)

Well. I missed the first part. So nothing much about the first part. I got into the cinema lost and it was only from the later parts when I actually could figure what was happening.

To be honest, a very confusing show. Helps alot if you have alot experience in deciphering and adapting to mysterious, supernatural love plots. Think time travel.

To be very very frank and blunt, I don't really get what was the ending. Did the girl die? Did Jay die? I don't know.

Im still confused, actually. I think it was a happy ending. I think, it might not be. But i would seem like a fool smiling when the ending was a sad one.

This show is actually a malleable kind of show. I mean like, it depends on how viewers interpret it. So actually who died and who did not die depends on one's own interpretation. Serious. It's really worth a watch!

And the music is fab. But i think many people would actually thought the imbal piano playing were camera tricks, but Im quite certain it's real pure ownage skill. Just when I looked at the Chopin score and thought it was "playable". Guess Im wrong.

So anyway the gist of the story is simply 3 words. Love, time and music. Yeps, that summarises it. One good thing is it allows room for imagination, alot of vague happenings that allows viewers to actually fill them up themselves. Not too detailed actually, and it leaves people thinking, contemplating. Rather philosophical.

But the show can be supenaturally freaky.

It was inspirational though. It teaches us to cherish times with the ones we love, and yeps. It also inspires me to get my lazy butt off my com chair and start learning some piano pieces. And hopefully one day I will be able to play like them. Fat hope, dream on ty.

I was soaked, and my throat was killing me. But i was happy :)
