Just watched a Singapore movie. A supposingly funny movie but I don't really find it very comical because things that audiences laughed at are something that i think shouldn't be laughed at but have to think seriously about the message behind it.
As usual, Singapore movies are very realistic but also challenging, in the sense of they provokes our thinking but not to world problems but something that relates to us very closely like family conflict, family love, money, marriage etc. I like watching this kind of movie because it makes me think. Issues that are being evoked in those movies are worth being thought about and we should have been looking into those matters more carefully. The movie sort of brings me back to the right path, stopping me from being carried away by things that have not been and still not the most important thing for me.
While watching the movie, a lot of thoughts have come to my mind.
- While hoping children to become a successful person in the future, what's most important to parents are still their children's happiness and welfare.
- After graduating from university (university is just a like a factory. the only difference it has from other factories is they produce human resources.), we are expected to have the basic labour force quality to do something that can contribute to the society and our nation and then the world. So, university is a very important stage to prepare us for he job market.
- Though having a normal, stable and happy life is the thing that ask for the most in the future, i shouldn't stop pushing myself harder to become a competitive person in the job market.
- While becoming a more successful person, we should never ever forget our root.
- Always take care of our parents. Be more aware of what they need. What they ask for is just something very simple. Spend more time with them. Talk to them. That's all they want.
- Respect!
- It's important to find a good man to marry to. It really determines your future. Good man, not in the sense of good in making lots of money, but good in having positive thinkings, strong will, not easily give up, confident but not proud. If can't find a good man, rather don't marry.
After watching that movie, I feel grateful that i have a very harmony family. I have loving and understanding parents, I have supportive elder brother and I have obedient and caring younger brother. We live together happily and we appreciate the presence of each other.
Good movie! I felt revived! =)
(I don't know what's the title of the movie, will come back to this post when i found out about it. i think... it's really important to give credit to this movie director)
