Synopsis

This story is about a 17 year old boy Josh, who is helping his family in a research expedition. The story starts when Josh leading Victoria and Carl to the expedition site. The couple traveled to Papua New Guinea. There held the cave expedition lead by Josh’s father, Frank McGuire. The Cave expedition was in the of Esa'ala Cave, an underwater cave exploration site. The excitement started when Frank and diver Jude’s (Allison Cratchley) decide to explore an unexplored section of the cave known as Devil's Restriction. After they explored area, and on their way back to the other members, Jude’s hose that gave him oxygen snapped and she could not breathe. Frank releases his mask and gave it to Jude so they can both breathe and make it alive. With Jude’s fear surrounding her mind, she took the mask and did not want to share. She wanted it for herself. That is when Frank and Jude struggled and Frank got back his oxygen mask. Jude died underwater in the cave.

The thrilling part of the story is when a bad storm started to fill the cave with water leaving people inside the cave to drown. That was the rising action of the story. Only 6 on the explorers were left they had to work together to get out of the cave.

This story is about an adventure. Nothing much to convey but a moral value that we can look to is the bonding of the father and son. In the story at the beginning of the story the son and father always quarrel and they never agreed with each other. In the climax they started to work together and at the falling action Josh, understood his father’s life as a explorer. Frank (josh’s father) never had the intention to neglect his son.

Review based on my opinion.

The story is not very exciting. It’s a normal adventure story about people finding a way out a flooded cave. But what I like about the story is the shooting underwater and the part when Victoria’s buckle was stuck to her hair. It seemed real with the blood coming out. Another part why I do not like about the movie is that the mindset of the characters with taking people’s life is very easily. In the rising action, an assistant of the explorer was injured and Frank drowns him because he did not want the guy to suffer anymore. It’s ridiculous seeing people easily kill people or a friend like that.

This story needs more action. Without the action it’s just a normal story about people stuck in a cave. What happens next? I think we all know. Its cliché. People will die one by one. Until at the end, the main character will survive. The story need more adventure. Plus, more popular actors are needed.

I would like to agree with my friend saying if the story was seen in 3D, yes that would be exciting.

Guilty things that pleasure me...

There are many things that pleasure us in life.. But there is sometimes guilt.

Pleasure + Guilt is what we call = (ESCAPISM OR AVOIDENCE IN LIFE )

For example Sleeping In on a Rainy Day, Finding Money You Didn’t Know You Had, Making Brief Eye Contact with Someone of the Opposite Sex, Making and Seeing a Friend Stumble, Catching a Glimpse of Bare Skin on the Opposite Sex and many more.

But, not every pleasure we do in life goes on cheering up our lives. Some of the pleasures in life can make us feel guilty because some pleasurable things are wrong.. We love to break the rules. It makes us feel happy and at some point we will realize that what we are doing is actually wrong and it has its consequences.

For example,

An experience of something that i did and at the end i really regret doing it. In the year 2005 i was in form 2 studying in Sekolah Menengah Wangsa Melawati. I like to teas people and until one day i found a lizard. I placed the lizard in my friends pencil box and when she saw the lizard she screamed and she was in a trauma. She was in shocked as if she has just saw a ghost. For my punishment my headmistress canned me on my butt. But, it wasn't the cane that I was afraid, it was the damaged and fear done to my friend that i was worried. I regret teasing her and i regret giving her the lizard prank. That is one of the guilty thing that pleasures me. Teasing people. But in the end, i know my faults and i regret doing it. Yes, I am guilty.

Just like today..

I am now 20years old and im studying in College Professional Mara Indera Mahkota Kuantan Pahang. Even in my classes i teas people. It is kind of a way to make a situation fun and joyful. That is why it is pleasurable. But in the end peoples feelings get hurt and that is what i regret. Thank god nowadays i don't usually teas people like before.

I cannot actually think of anything else to say because most of it are private.
Another guilty thing that pleasures me is, from religious reviews i am guilty of missing my prayers that is only 5 times a day. I do not know why i am so lazy of handling my prayers. It is only 5 times a day and it only takes about 5 minutes. Maybe im shy with my friends, maybe im not use with the environment, and maybe there something else influencing me not to pray. What ever it is, i have to change.

Even when i was little, i sometimes talk bad about my lovely parents, because, as usual when we are kids, they punish us. I was angry and immature.. can it still be considered my fault? LOL..
Anyways, i love my parents, so yes, when i was little is was a little bit pleasing talk bad about them when i was angry, but after time passes, and i grew up, guilt started to fill my veins.

:')

SO, here we are.. Things that i do is guilty but pleasures me. I wish i could post more..
but......
It is just tooo damn personal..
Sorry..

The Blind Side

Writers - John Lee Hancock and Michael Lewis

Main Casts

Sandra Bullock - Leigh Anne Tuohy
Tim McGraw - Sean Tuohy
Quinton Aaron - Michael Oher
Jae Head - S.J. Tuohy

Ray McKinnon - Coach Burt Cotton

This is a story about a homeless and traumatize 17 year old boy named Micheal Oher that grew up with with hardship. He was a homeless boy until a white women with the most kindest of heart found him and took him into her family. The women was Leigh Anne Tuohy role played by Sandra Bullock. Through the care and shelter given by the Tuohy's Micheal Oher became a American Footballer and played for the NFL (National Football League). There is a lot that can be learned through out the story because the presence of Micheal in the family lead the Touhy's insightful self-discoveries of their own.





Why do i say the theme of the story is Kindness Care and Family.

Leigh Anne Touhy is a white christian women who took Micheal Oher a large African American teenager in her home. It started, One night after a school a school play that S.J participated, the Touhy's went home and then they saw Micheal Oher walking in the freezing weather. Sean Touhy asked him to where he was going and he said he was on his way to the gym. After that the Touhy's drove along. Seconds after that Leigh Anne ask her husband Sean to turn the car around and then Leigh Anne went out of the car and talked to Micheal.....

Leigh Anne : Hey Big Mike.. Hey im Leigh Anne Touhy and My kids go to Wingate.
You said you where going to the gym?
The school's gym is closed.
Why were you going to the gym Micheal?

Micheal : Because.... its.. its warm..
Leigh Anne : Do you have any place to stay tonight Micheal?

(Micheal Nodded)

Leigh Anne : Don't you dare lie to me..


After that Leigh Anne took Micheal back to her house. With Micheal in the family, things in the Touhy's changed. For example, the family started eating together on the dinner table instead of eating together in front of the television. Micheal changed their lives in certain ways. After months of Micheal's stay with the Touhy's, Leigh Anne saw something good in Micheal. So Leigh Anne adopted Micheal legally. In the climax of the story it has been month of Micheal sleeping on the couch in the living room. Leigh Anne gave Micheal a bed and his own room. Micheal finally got what he has never had in his entire life. A bed...


Eventually, in the story Micheal started playing football and was really good in it as he had the advantage of a large body and he is physically fit. The whole family supported him. S.J trained Micheal well. He run the plays with Micheal so Micheal would understand every play of the game. Leigh Anne also taught something very important to Micheal that he can relate in his football game. Micheal position in the game is as a Line back. He has to protect the quaterback and the running back. This is where Leigh Anne ask him to resemble the quaterback as herself and ask Micheal to resemble the running back as S.J. Micheal loves his new family and protecting them is important to him. In the movie Micheal scored 98% in his protective instincts test.

In the movie, Leigh Anne also was questioned by her friends about taking in a large African American child the house joining her family. Leigh Anne did not care what her friends said. He took Micheal in because of her sheer kindness. Leigh Anne believed in her instincts and believed that she was doing the right thing. If it was not for Leigh Anne, Micheal would not be where he is now. An American Footballer in the NFL.

Micheal Oher, a homeless boy, achieved what he never dreamed to be, an American Footballer, with the help of care, love and support from Leigh Anne and her family. The Touhy's..

This movie can teach a person about love, care, believe in ourselves, kindness and the importance of having a family...

Be kind to a person, and the person shall repay the kindness...
Love a person as the person love us...
Believe in our decision because it may give us great values..
Take a chance is better than wasting an opportunity...
Last but not least, it is better to have and trust a family that wants us rather than having people that do not care about us.

:')

Love is the voice under all silence...

There are many opinion towards the word "Love". Some people say love is blind. Some people say, the power of love is just fake. Fake because love is just a matter of seduction that people us to get power of what they want. Are they true?? The most common thing that people say about love, is that it is the most confusing and difficult feeling that mankind have to understand.

There are many kinds of love. For example, this feeling of love we have it toward a certain special someone, our friends, family, religion and a lot more. But, what makes a person divide the amount of love to the following? Is the amount of dividing equal?

For example, loving their religion will show the affection of an individual by obeying the norms or rules of the religion. Loving our loved one for example girlfriend of boyfriend is different. An individual would do anything for the person they love love even if it mean they have to disobey the rules or norms. This is why i say that love is blind.

There are also some goodness when it comes to love. Love can help a person to change, to become a even better person. Love can help us see the imperfect person perfectly. True love can help a individuals to build integrity, respect, and trust toward them. Bedside's delusion and blindness of love, love can also brings harmony and peace to the heart.

Love can be equal to pain. Love can also be equal to peace and harmony. Maybe this is why people say love is the most confusing and difficult feeling for mankind to understand. My Opinion is that before we should understand the feeling we should feel it first. When feeling love then only and individual will know why the bad and good things happen and only then the individuals can understand love. This is my opinion.

There are many definitions of love. This is because we mankind does not really know the true meaning of love. We do not have to explain or tell people about love. We show love. Love is in everyday life. But then again I am just a student, still studying and what i just wrote is my knowledge about love. No one can ever give the proper definition of love. Love cannot be explained.
This is why, love is really the voice under all silence... <3

Music

What is Music..

Music is an art, that somehow has the element of melody and harmony to our ears. Music is a way one individual to express their feelings or emotions. All together it is created into an art. Most of the music created have meanings or definitions but some music represents cultures.

For example, the traditional music in Pahang is the Gamelan Music, and an example of traditional music in Johor is the Kuda Kepang. There are also many more traditional music in the other states of Malaysia and each of everyone of it has its own meaning. For me, I am from Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur and one of the traditional music there is the Zapin and also Ghazal. I do listen to these kinds of music because it represents our culture and also country. We should be proud of the music crated for our culture thus it is created from the roots of our culture.

But, people these days do not like to listen to these type of music anymore. It is considered boring and old. Little that they now is that, without the traditional music, music these days would have never been created. People nowadays would rather prefer to listen to modern music for example like rap, rock, and they also prefer to listen to music from other countries. Based on my opinion it is alright to listen to modern music but its is not alright to forget the roots of the music from our culture. Basicly it is also for our general knowledge. Beside that, for example, if a foreigner would ask an individual from our culture about our cultural music, and the individual would not now what to answer, wouldn't that be embarrassing? Shameful?

Modern music is also nice to hear. As I said in the begining music is created from emotions n feelings. I also listen to modern music from various artist like Ruffege, Faizal Tahir and also Artists from other countries like Eminem, My Chemical Romance and alot more. There are various music in the modern days, for example rock, pop, ballad, hiphop and a lot more. The most interesting music that has been created today is the techno. It is interesting when we think about how old music can turn into today's modern music. I hope that in the future music shall become more interesting and i also hope that the harmony of out cultural traditional song shall never be forgotten.
