District 9 is a story about aliens who make contact with Earth and the relationships with humans and society. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa's District 9. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United (MNU), a private company uninterested in the aliens' welfare. Their sole interest, alien technology and weapons. Weapon research would mean huge profits for the company. Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley) is placed in charge of the filed operation to evict, remove, and place the aliens in a new holding facility. Conflict and tension threaten the operation as agents move in.

Don't be fooled. This isn't your typical alien sci-fi action movie. What got me was the believability. If there were aliens out there that were able to make contact with Earth, it seems it could have gone something like this. The way the perspective switches from mock documentary style to standard third person certainly contributes to it. "Real" news footage and interviewers tell the story in retrospect, as the events of the movie have already occurred when they are being interviewed. I think it all added to the realism of the experience.

Usually in these type of films, it's mostly mindless action and the story is lost. Not the case here. There's so much more to it. It's also about betrayal, loyalty, trust, relationships, and sacrifice. It can actually be pretty deep and thought provoking with many themes floating around. The film's really about the story which is really a fresh, gritty, original concept, which is good to see nowadays.

While the creatures can be most readily described as monsters, though they are like us. Family and friendship are still important ideals in their world. The film explores a fine line between human emotions and monsters. With all the selfishness, hatred, and greed within us, maybe we are the real monsters or at least that's how it can be perceived.

Neill Blomkamp does a tremendous job with the direction and realism of the film. Sharlto Copley blew me away. I was shocked to see this was his first acting role. The action sequences were well done as well. District 9 is a very unique sci-fi film, one that shouldn't be missed. Mind you, this isn't a film for everyone. It's violent, and many parts can be cringe worthy. Be warned but be ready for one of the best films of the year thus far.

 

Will Smith, since persuit of happiness has grown immensely to a world class actor giving all there is to the character he plays. I should admit that i had that unconfortable breathing while watching it. It links to me in many ways like how destructive it could be as to guilt-driven personality and questions it bring forth which i am unintentionally into; death.

Seven Pounds is a movie about the story of Ben Thomas, an IRS agent on a mission to redeem himself from a haunting secret, a car accident led by his mistake killing seven people. we can see that as it unfolds. It's not the kind of movies that reach deep within and cause the light tear to seep out of corner of our eyes and we quickly wipe it away and hope no one sees us and be successful doing so. It's a kind which will make you seen crying or you will have hard time controlling the tears from flowing out. More to that, the heart-warming ending healing the audiences hard feeling rather than just leaving topic for people to dig is kinda rare for movies of it's genre.

it might get boring and confusing, but as one of the fans said it's a wait it out movie..you just need to wait and keep watching. It's not hard to tie up all the loose ends which i think director did a great job. A must-see movie!

This is christmas eve. i almost haven't had it uploaded because of the computer problem. This is the first watercolor painting i did without looking at another painting and obviously i made some mistakes with snow coloring. However i am pretty shockingly happy with how the effects of the sky up on top turned out into, way out of my expectations. So this special not-so-good painting is for my friends heather, pema, josepghal, Nyima, jamphela, connie, demo, kalsang tsering, jhamu, jamyang n and tsedup for being there to share all sorts of moods and most importantly, just by being themselves to social with brings me to some level of realization which is of necessity. So thanks to all and happy Christmas! Wish you with more joys to come in the coming year. Peace!

 

最近一直在画画从新抓起小时候的爱好。不过我就是没有耐性，短短几天也画了不少。所以拿不出像样的作品。其实一般意义上讲也谈不上是作品，因为我就这个水平。和一个网友聊天的时候她说如果是用心画的那都可以称之为作品。那下面是我最新的作品！（还是听起来别扭）哈哈
