i like this song. 雖然我願意 by 伍家輝



just watched these two films.

1. Taxi (1)



A French film about a highly skilled taxi driver (Daniel) and a cop (Emilien) with zero driving sense. Emilien hires Daniel to help in nabbing a trail of German bank robbers. Mechanically astonishing with a fun-witted plot and laced with French sensual humor, this film is well-deserving of a 8.5/10 rating. Trust me, it's good.


2. 童夢奇緣 (Wait 'til You're Older)



Starring Andy Lau, this film speaks of a boy who longs to grow up and run away from home. He blames his dad for killing his mum, and takes out his hatred upon Karen Mok who plays his step-mum. This film expounds the notion "growing up," going beyond the physical sense. Good acting, good plot, good moral story. Rating: 8/10



lastly, literature review.

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.



Based in Afghanistan, The Kite Runner relates the life of Amir; how he longed for his father's attention, his twisted relationship with childhood playmate/slave Hassan, and slips a glimpse of the oppressiveness of Taliban. A powerful debut, the emotional depth of the story will continue to haunt readers for long after.
