tell me a story

i like films that tells me its okay to cry in the dark.

i like films that tells me its okay to dance goofily in front of your family without being judged.

i like films that tells me mutants, aliens and freaks exist and even superpower figures need love to live their life.

i like films that tells me its okay to eat with your mouth open.

i like films that tells me its okay to drool on your pillow while sleeping.

i like films that tells me its okay to not shave your legs for weeks and still wear shorts to shopping malls.

i like films that tells me I’m not the only one who's going through what i'm going through even sometimes you don't feel like waking up the next day.

i like films that tells me its okay to not wash your face, not comb your hair and go to class or meeting without grooming carefree.

i like films that tells me its okay to love selflessly.not many films that i like are made these days because we live in a superficial world, a fading reality.

* we, the malaysian audiences have a long way to go...we need to think ahead..when i watch films..i do learn, more or often than not about myself but people in general by watching, observing and understanding films...and as i have been learning all these years..about films..again and again..i can sum up that film is all about storytelling..whether its pure or superficial..whether they carry social dynamics or moral issue or plain entertainment...it just tells a story..safe to say i grow up watching films..and being a film scholar is a dream came true. *
