"Movies reflect the times we live in, but it's the audience's desire for escapism that brings us to the movies."
Have been watching the movies as an extension of escapism. Mhmm.. it helps a lot considering how I went into the film not knowing that I was actually in for a horror treat. Gothitka, it sounded mysterious and well... i was intrigued by the title and the psychology factors. So intrigued that I neglected the fact that it is a supernatural thriller.I have never been a big fan of horror films considering my raging imagination. Guess subconsciously I 'tricked' myself into one. But damn, it was really worth catching cos I was totally lost, free from all worries and expectations, even if it was only for a while. Gosh, it feels great.
Yilin was saying," Jacq, can't believe you ask me to watch it cos I rejected a date to watch it earlier on. Don't be frightened if I grabbed your arms cos I might scream." I brushed it off and asked,"Anway, what is it about?" Lin: "You don't know? No wonder when I told you there are only few people in the cinema watching with us and you whopped with glee."
Ooops.. And that was only a few mins before the movie. I wasn't even ready to get mentally prepared! The only consolation is that it is not Korean or Jap movie. Foreign ghosts need to take plane and they look different. So it can't be related. One category erased for my wild imaginations.
Haha.. like 2 cowards, we cupped our ears whenever the camera zoomed in or whenever there is a change in the background music. Our actions were so harmonious and contagious that the lady beside us covered her ears whenever we lifted our hands. That reminds me of the 3 monkeys that do See No evil thingy. When Yilin and I were cuddling close we were both shivering and I actually burst into laughter cos I felt silly being THAT frightened over a movie. Perhaps we were born to be weak hearted.
Catch the movie! Cool... If you enjoy Sixth Sense, you will love this. Just a reminder, bring your sweater along, it's chilly in there......
