Review - One Chance

We all have failures in life. Small or big failures we made create who we are right now. The real deal is to face those failures and do something to keep on going to our goal in life.
Paul Potts (James Corden) share his opera life in One Chance. He was bullied since he was at elementary to his adulthood. He is fat, not so smart and people never pay attention to his ideas or actions. One thing for sure is he loves opera very much.
One day, he met his online friend for the first time..Julz (Alexandra Roach), whose amazingly looks beautiful although she's a plus size. Their first meeting was insanely beautiful, it was love at the first sight. In every successful man, there's a woman behind it, and Julz was the one.

Paul shows his great talent which is singing opera in the talent show in a bar to win 300 Pound to add his saving to went to Venice. He shows up in a clown costume, the crowds tees and laugh him so hard, but he kept on moving. He open his mouth and sings the opera song, and left the crowd's jaw hanging. They couldn't believe it, neither do Paul. He won that night.

Paul finally went to Venice to learn Opera, and continue the long distance relationship with Julz. Venice scene was beautiful, it made me adding Venice as one of my destinations in life. He was great there, until one day he choke in front of Pavarotti and failed. He went back to Wales with broken heart. After meeting Julz, they finally decided to get married.

Paul's struggle started when he was convicted with tumor in his throat that made him stop singing and an accident that caused him stop working. He's miserable and hopeless in life. I guess the one thing that hurt human being the most is stop doing what they love doing. Its just too painful for the soul.

This movie shows how common people deal with failure in their life. We all have choices in life, and our path was decided with our decision. Do we want to continue chasing our dreams and goals, or are we just going to stand in the dark and watch our life fades away, meaningless. Paul was lucky, he had julz who always trust in him and believe for who he is. If you have your own julz today, you should be grateful and cherish him/her in every single day you had. They were the treasures in your life.

I find this movie encouraging me, made me think to all decisions I have made in my life. I know I could not rewind it, but I know in the future I will keep on moving no matter what. If I have to tip toe in every single step, I will. I dedicate this writing to one of my dearest friend, hopefully you'll read this and boost every energy you have. I wish you will find happiness soon!

A perfect Sunday movie, I give this movie 3,5/5 stars!

Review - Rurouni Kenshin Kyoto Inferno

My first blog in 2015. Happy New Year anyway..Let's enjoy 2015 to the fullest!

I've watched this movie yesterday, and this is one of the must see movie according to my opinion. If you have watched the previous Rurouni Kenshin, then you will already know the cast, its still the same crew. But, if you haven't watched the previous movie, it won't be hard to understand.

The cast is still Himura Kenshin, Kaoru, Shinosuke, Megumi and the yahiko the little boy. The enemy in this movie is Shishio, who battle along with kenshin during the Toba-Fumi war, but he was burned by the government official since the government tried to eliminate all of their third parties helper.

A very exciting movie, filled with actions from the start. This is much better from the previous Rurouni Kenshin. Takeru Satoh as Himura Kenshin really plays his character well, not only that he also shows how Kenshin really have the expertise of as a samurai. Shishio is one of the toughest enemy that Kenshin have, since he's not alone but also he has the the 10 swords as his soldiers.

Shishio tries to rule Japan in the new age, he killed so many government officials and police officers. One of the officials, Mr. Okubo came to Kenshin and ask his help to solve the problem, since they were unable to defeat Shishio or his accomplice. At first, Kenshin hesitated to help, but then he sees how Mr. Okubo killed in a train and brutally stab in his carriage.

Shishio was indeed a brutal man, with his soldiers he tries to rebel and conquer Japan. At one of the fight between Kenshin and Sojiro (one of Shishio accomplice), his sword was broken. The Sword made by the famous swordsman was torn into two. So, Kenshin tries to find the swordsman, but he end up finding the swordsman has died. The back blade samurai he has finally replaced by the true back blade given by the swordsman son.

The story was so great, you could never turn your eye from the movie. Keishi Ohtomo directed this movie brilliantly, the movie flawlessly pour in your eyes. Just small things that bothers me is, the connection of Aoshi's anger to Kenshin, it seems kind of overrated. I don't know if Keishi Ohtomo will show it in Rurouni Kenshin The Legend Ends, the next sequel of this movie, but somehow Aoshi seems misplaced for me.

The scene, the picture quality, the actors, they were all beautiful, nothing is missed in the detail. This is gotta be, one of Japan best movie in my opinion. Although, I'm not a Japanes movie viewer, but I definitely won't forget this movie.

A good start in 2015, I am longing for the sequel now. Hopefully could watch it soon, since I'm still wondering about how Shishio ends and why the title is The Legend Ends. So Excited!!

I really recommend you guys to see the movie, not telling all the details in this review since I don't want to ruin your imagination and expectation. I give this movie 4/5 stars!
