Up
to my surprise, I actually enjoyed that movie a lot. Not that the exaggerated
scenes were away, but more to the story and the morals it was trying to point
out. I saw a very down to earth story depicting a citizen of a big city, living
in a country like America, with his own struggle being daydreamer, not so
much money in his pocket but trying to afford a living for him and his mother.
Not only that, his “unique” experience and so-not-brave movements in front of a
woman he liked. That was just, grounded. Something that most people, especially
perhaps in America, can relate to because it’s just so close to real life.
In a broader context, it also pictured the issue of a magazine who wasn’t able to make ends meet, turning
into a new digital platform, with an entirely different direction and board and
ended up laying people off their previous jobs. Definitely, it was a real
issue, haunting the real people, trying to lift up the shout from those whose
life was ruined.
Everything
was just falling into pieces: how people just sometimes need a boost to go out
there, explore, fight for life and risk a lot of things to get something right;
how we were missing things that were right in front of our faces so often
because we were trying to find a drama out of things; or how being nice as a
boss or newcomer is actually a must; how a mom would always be there for you; how an annoying sister is still a part of family. There were plenty to enjoy. Something small from a casual life, but something special that we actually should be thankful for.
People
will surely have different views on it. Again, that’s how I see it. I just see
something worth sitting down, or at least considering. It touches my heart,
that’s the most important part. It gave me moment to ponder.
Just
a simple story with huge meaning.
