20th century

I watched 20th century boys..

Okay, I had no idea what was the movie about, I didn't even know it was in japanese till I was buying the tickets and saw a bracketed 'japanese' beside the title.. I didn't know it was based on a manga until the show ended.. fortunately too, for I just might have enjoyed the show a little less had I known..

so obviously this isn't like any of the movies most people are used to seeing, so it might get a little weird, maybe distasteful.. but still I found it really entertaining.. The characters were likable though they seemed to following a pretty absurd story line which surprisingly kept me awake throughout.. I think I'm just being biased cause of how I like the way the movie is presented.. reminds me of those japanese rpg games I used to play.. err... final fantasy anyone ? hah..

but what I love most about stories like these are the characters. They always face overwhelming odds.. they always have an unrealistically undying will to never give up. and they always manage to draw their motivation from some from of ideal, a personal belief they so strongly hold onto, it becomes like eluding reality.. thats the human spirit..

I think we all can take something away from this. especially me, since my life is basically shitty till the day I get my pink ic back again. So hey, we can always 'bluff' ourselves or rather believe that it's actually worth it to cling onto some sort of hope everyday (if it makes us a better person, happier too) that somehow, someway I'm gonna make tomorrow a better day.

yea, I know I need a break.. not a single weekend kind of break.. but more like a whole week's kinda break.. funny thing is, I only think I need a long break, when I'm on a break. the verdict - I just don't wanna go back.
