Blame it on my luck, but the movies i watched lately really sux. Other than "The Protege" which i thought is kinda more refreshing, the other movies i watched simply cnmi (TMNT, Golden Petal or watever, Mr Bean on Holidays, One Last Dance).
This evening, i went to watch the "Fracture" with a friend. The movie is about a man shooting his unfaithful wife, and how he outsmarted the prosecuter and escaped the punishments. At the end of the movie, i had some small discussions with my friend on the movie, to clarify on some parts which i didnt quite understand. I didnt quite agree with what my friend has interpreted the movie, and thought there were some parts which his understandings are not too correct.
"Its jus a very simple and straight forward movie... you think too much....." he exclaimed.
Well, seriously i think i have adopted the habit of reading films (instead of just watching films) ever since i took up the NUS Module "Film & History". I dun quite like the idea of just spending 8 to 10 bucks sitting down for 2hrs and purely letting your eyes do the work. Especially nowadays, there are more and more cheem films which require more indepth understanding, to truely appreciate the movie and get what the film director has to say. Even comedy films like Mr Bean on Holidays has a theme (not jus purely funny scenes and jokes).
True enough, I did a quick surf on the internet and got the light. The movie was not what my friend has interpreted (that simply). It requires some understanding about the english law. Now, the joy of watching a movie shld not be just limited to the 2 hrs of sitting in the cinema.
