Shine

I slept in this morning.

I think it was because I watched a movie last night, not out, but in the comfort of my room. Watched Shine, a 1996 film, about a musical prodigy who suffers 'abuse' from his over possessive father. His father apparently taught him how to play the piano and somehow he was discovered when he was being forced to compete. As a little kid, with thick glasses, pants up his waist, he was surely amazing to pull off the Heroic Polonaise, which is a monumental piece of work. He was probably nine or ten then. Following the storyline, he managed to gain reputation by winning competitions and famous people raised a sum of money to send him overseas to study music. Yet his father ( a suspect psychopath and a very interesting, yet disturbing character ), was not only disapproving but showed signs of violence if going overseas was ever mentioned.

Basically, a very emotion provoking film mainly because the father is really provoking character that will not only make your blood boil. You will be fascinated by how such a character could be created, or not. because this plot, and their characters are based on a true story. His father portrayed very cynical character, fundamentally twisted perspective of love. Selfish, psychopathic behavior at it's best. My blood was almost boiled away into gas while watching. An interesting complex arrogance is given off my the father. I'm no literature student so it is going to be an uphill task to attempt, neither do I know much psychology.

Thus, and therefore, this film covers the life of the protagonist. How he grew up to become a psychopath, become so mentally disorientated and suffers mental disorders. And then, the show ends blissfully I hope. Again, the point of this film, is really left to interpretation. However, it may be because this story is based on a true film, and thus, the unresolved, abrupt ending without much meaning. Thinking about it again, this show was warped in mysterious sequences of flashbacks, and time was never a container for any information. A messy presentation, yet it keeps one intrigued.

It was one in he morning when I watched this. Much of it is still distorted. I remain confused and the accent made listening tough and the quality of my file is not exceptional. A very emotionally provoking film. Watch only if either 1) you love music, (mainly piano), 2) you love seeing twisted, psycho characters 3) you love complex characters. To sum up, it's good, because you don't get the usual stereotypical characters in any tom dick or harry film. Not even close. the character's personalities are so complex and so real that it can be disturbing.

Still I don't much of it's point though

Mugging at home is definitely seemingly more productive but in any case where a decision have to made between two, the relative outcome can never be found out. The one and major drawback of the freedom of choice, is that the lingering sensation of mystery still evident either way. What if I went, will I learn more. What if I don't go, will I level up more if I battle these mathematical creeps at the comfort of my own bed. It's not a time to debate which is better. I've decided a balance of both is needed. I will play by the rules as far as I can, and also, I will deviate as much as I can afford.

What I like about studying at home, is that I can choose what I want to do. I don't have to be forced feed in lectures or whatsoever, sit through relatively useless gp lessons or get into unnecessary trouble for not bringing PE attire.

After all, rules are only meant to measure objects, and in most cases, in 10^-2 meters. So why bother so much after them. After all, most are made of plastic and they can be broken without much effort.

Back to work.
