So I've decided that pointless posts are no longer the way to go. Hence I shall try something slightly different today (and hopefully it'll be interesting lol lol lol!!)

Anyway, relentless slacking at home has prompted me to, well, do something more constructive with my life, apart from battling annoying people on Carousell. After flopping and flailing around for a bit I found myself on YouTube.. and PROCRASTINATING QUEEN STRIKES ONCE MORE. The original plan was to find a movie and watch the movie like a good girl (without fiddling with my phone in the middle of it) but um. I sort of started listening to my playlists and drowning in the misery of it (happily) (sorry I couldn't help myself)

ANYWAY 1000000001 YEARS LATER, I FINALLY GOT MYSELF TO SIT DOWN TO WATCH THIS MOVIE THAT WAS DEEMED THE MOST TOUCHING MOVIE OF 2014 (IF I REMEMBER IT CORRECTLY)

(hang on let me find it)

omg I can't find it anymore??!??!

Anyway here's the trailer:



Basically it's about this divorced couple who lost their toddler to a kidnapper guy (who, strangely enough, brought up the toddler like his own. But that's besides the point), found the toddler years later (who really was no longer a toddler by then), only to realise that their joy would turn out to be rather short-lived. Because having their son back had too many implications and involved too many- the woman (Mr. Kidnapper's wife, starring Vicky Zhao) who brought up their son believing that he was abandoned, and whom their son called "妈妈"; the baby sis who couldn't be separated from 哥哥; that irritable old guy who was the head of the state-governed (???) orphanage;
Anyway, the whole thing was either hurting or annoying people who were somehow or another involved-
Oh no this is going off-tangent again
ALRIGHT I will put my thoughts in point form, perhaps what I want to say can be conveyed in a clearer and more organized manner-

Takeaways From The Movie (I feel like I'm back in primary writing a composition):
-anguish
-very real, and shocking realisation that there are, indeed, many different permutations of anguish in this world; and what I may have felt/am feeling/will feel is probably close to nothing as compared to that of the poor parents in the movie
-No matter what the law dictates, how humane is it to take the children away from the poor woman (Vicky Zhao's character), who depended on her children for mental courage as much as a pirouetting ballerina depended on a focal point (on the wall)?
-everybody hurts (so clichéd, but so true)

That's about it for now. Oh and if I didn't bore you to death already, the movie is called 《亲爱的》
Probably not your thing if you're only a sucker for romance though.
