From Hell

The next movie is “From Hell” directed by the Hughes brothers.  Well, one word to describe this movie is “CREEPY”.  This movie is an adaptation movie from The Jack the Ripper murders.  For those who does not really know who he is, let me disclose it a little bit.  Jack the Ripper was an unidentified serial killer that was popular in the year of 1888 in London.  He killed lots of female prostitutes and removed their internal organs and ate it which is totally gross!  From my point of view, I think that he might thought himself to be a “good” person that would like to end the sin that have been done by those prostitutes.  If the Ripper is still alive in this world, I don’t know how much more will be his victim.  Until now, his identity is remaining unknown.  Who are you actually?

Alright, the movie was great and suspend, I would say.  The scene was classic but real. The duration is almost 2 hours and every moment is a thriller moment for the audiences.  By the way, Johnny Deep looks superb handsome and play his role greatly.  Deep plays the role of Abberline, an investigator for those murders and would consume drugs to dream about the murders.  As for the heroin, Mary Kelly, she and her group are prostitutes that being hunted by the Ripper as one by one were being killed tragically. That case was handled by Abberline, and that was how he knows Kelly.  At the end, when he thought that Kelly was killed by the Ripper, he ultimately dies as he knows that he would never see her again.   Well, Mary Kelly doesn’t die in this movie.  But it was such a sad ending to watch Abberline eventually die because of opium overdose.  

The Pianist

“The Pianist” is a movie directed by Roman Polanski, which was the first movie that I choose to comment on.  It was a heartbreaking movie as it tells a story about a man, Władysław Szpilman that works as a pianist and he experiences the World War II.  I did not totally understand the language as they speak fluently German.  But then by looking at the action, everyone would know that it was a touching war movie.  It starts with the protagonist played a piano melodiously, and suddenly the war takes place.  It did not stop him as he keep on playing because he is really appreciating the music.  Eventually, lots of places have been bombed and he has to live quietly with his family to be safe.  The Britain and France have declared war and he and the family thought that the war will end sooner whenever they hear the announcement on the radio.  But not for long, the Jews were treated terribly by the Catholics.  They face lots of difficulties and live in a terrified surrounding.  They witness lots of murder and people have been tortured if they did not following the orders.  He has been separated with his family and being left alone.  It was kind of sad to watch him surviving alone and live as a fugitive in his own country.  He has to face hunger and tiredness to survive.  I would say that, he manages to play the role bombastically.

At the end, the audiences would probably learn that it is hard to stay alive in that kind of situation, but if you dare to take the risky initiative, the good thing will be at your side.  Never give up and follow the flow.  As ultimately, everything will be fine if you just keep on going.  

Mind's eye

The fifth article is “Thinking Folly” by Eckhart Tolle.  It is such an intriguing exposition as it made me notice something that happens around us.  The author himself explained that we as a human being do know how to think but not how to stop thinking! It’s such an interesting fact to actually realize that we are the slave of our mind.  We’ve been control every time we think which we did not even knowing it.  We visualize images, words and labels using our mind and eventually we can imagine the thing itself.  If we are thinking critically, we would usually being silent because we want to concentrate.  But we didn’t realize that we are actually separating ourselves from the reality, which left only us and the mind.  The mind is controlling us and decide the decision, that’s how powerful imagination is.  According to Einstein, “imagination is more important than knowledge”.  From the information, comes the mind’s eye.  We can think outside the box or beyond anything by just imagining it.  That’s the hidden meaning I guess.  But then mind also need to rest just like us.  If we kept thinking, it will lead to nowhere. 

Nevertheless, a thinker lives in a complex world, because he/she needs to against the other minds, collecting data and analyzing it to churn out great ideas.  Bombastic ideas come from a fascinating imagination.  We think folly or logically, still the issue is the imagination.  We are actually being possessed by the mind and it makes us unconscious mentally.  But I believe that creativity beyond the mind is what we need which is the key to be awakened.  It’s hard to think beyond our imagination, that’s why we need to take an initiative to believe on what we see and we imagine what we want.

Stop Facebooking!

“All the cool kids are quitting Facebook” by Jenna Wortham is the fourth article that I choose.  Well, everyone knows what Facebook is all about and even had one.  It connects you with people around the world.  You can easily get friends and chatting with them.  As for me, I had joined Facebook in the middle of 2010 due to my friend’s recommendation.  At first I thought that it could help me to keep in touch with my old friends who I haven’t seen for years.  Seriously saying, it was really addictive.  I would say that I spend most of my time in facebooking.  Day and night will be with facebook, not a book.  Post statuses, like pictures and tagged someone are the interesting part of it.  Well, it wasn’t for long as it makes one to be fed up with it.  I did notice that the layout and theme had change from time to time, but then it still make one to be boring.  As everyone keep posting something unnecessary about what they are doing. 

In November 2011, I quitted facebook as I found it to be wasting.  All of my precious time with my family and friends had been taken by it.  It took me for almost a month to make the decision as I don’t want to lost contact with my friends.  But then I realize that it already made me losing contact with them.  One of my friends that had deactivated her account before I did has encouraged me to follow her step.  I would say that I was thankful to her as she has helped me to be cool. So, for the girls or guys that still own a facebook, you want to be cool?  Well, simple deactivate your account and there you go! You’ll be cool!

Hitler and Jewish

The most powerful dictator in 20^th century, Adolf Hitler was also a German political and military leader at that time.  At first, I didn't know much about him but I did know that he was a mean guy with no mercy back then and had killed lots of lives.  From what have I known, he would like to create a new religion so that he can be the new prophet.  That was why he willing to kill anyone who were totally innocent to gain his nasty intention.  For the first time when I saw his picture at Google image, I have an impression that he is a cruel guy.  With the short mustache and the “nice” outfits, he made me think about the people that had been his victims.  Why didn't he have a little sympathy towards people?  Why someone like him does exist in this world? Well, different people have their own attitudes.

Alright! Now let me disclose a little bit about The Jews.  During the Crusades, in the late 14^th century, the Spanish murdered thousands people and forced the Jews and Mohammedans to convert their religion.  Yet, the Jews had practiced their religion as Catholics in secrets and eventually made them controlled the government itself.   I didn’t expect The Jews were so hungry for power and would sacrifice any lives to establish their position.  They are liars and selfish because they love to force people to work for them.  They tortured and ended up murdered them if they refuse to do so.  They also hired the Germans to work for them.  I guess that was the reason why Hitler hates the Jewish and would like to kill all of them.  But then, it was only my view towards him which no one actually can accurately guess why he had them killed.  Why did Hitler persecute the Jews? Well, let your critical thinking find out the answer!
