I have this one of a kind naughty nephew, and he's been pestering me like forever to watch a movie in my room.
And he wants to watch a kid flicks movie, for Pete's sake!
Come on! I'm nineteen and I don't see myself watching cartoons and all that kind of stuff.
I've already been there. And I'm through with it.
But, playing a good Tita, I let him watch inside my room.
Yeah. I let him lay in my bed like he's the one owning it and bought him snacks and let him messed up my room. Oh great. tssss.
Once the movie is rolling, I just lie flat on my stomach and I caught myself being hooked up in the movie.
MOVIE # 1: Dr. Seuss The Lorax
Story Line:
In the walled city of Thneed-Ville, where everything is artificial and even the air is a commodity, a boy named Ted hopes to win the heart of his dream girl, Audrey. When he learns of her wish to see a real tree, Ted seeks out the Once-ler, a ruined old businessman outside of town in a stark wasteland. Upon hearing of how the hermit gave into his greed for profits and devastated the land over the protests of the Lorax, Ted is inspired to undo the disaster. However, the greedy Mayor of Thneed-Ville, Aloysius O'Hare, has made his fortune exploiting the environmental collapse and is determined to stop the boy from undermining his business.
Favorite Lines:
----------------------
Once-ler: Really? Because when a guy does something stupid once, well that's because he's a guy. But if he does the same stupid thing twice, that's usually to impress some girl.
Ted: Hey, she is not just some girl! She's a woman. In high school. And she loves trees. And I'm gonna get her one.
----------------------
Once-ler: So you want to know what happened to the trees? I didn't think anybody still cared!
Ted: Well, that's me! The guy who still cares!
What I Learned:
* Love Mother nature. Be a tree-hugger. :)
* Even one person can make a change.
* Too much is not always good.
* Don't be greedy. Don't sacrifice everyone for your own sake.
* Grannys can be totally cool. :D
MOVIE # 2: Karate Kid
Story Line:
12-year-old Dre Parker could've been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother's latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying - and the feeling is mutual - but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre's feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts "the karate kid" on the floor with ease. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han, who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.
Favorite Lines:
Mr. Han: Best fights are the ones we avoid.
----------------------
Mr. Han: You have taught me very important lesson, Xiao Dre. Life will knock us down, but we can choose whether or not to stand back up.
----------------------
Mr. Han: You don't need to fight anymore. You have proven everything you need to prove.
Dre Parker: What, that I can get beat up easy and then quit? That's not balance, that's not real kung fu. You said that when life knocks you down, you could choose whether or not to get back up. Well, I'm trying to get back up, and why won't you help me?
Mr. Han: Because I cannot watch you get hurt anymore.
Dre Parker: Please, Mr. Han, please.
Mr. Han: Just tell me, Xiao Dre, why? Why do you need to go back out there so badly?
Dre Parker: Because I'm still scared. And no matter what happens, tonight, when I leave, I don't want to be scared anymore.
* Dre Parker is so sool. :D
* When like knocks you down, get back.
* Learn how to fight because you want to prevent your ass getting kicked off, not the other way around.
* Perseverance.
* Always pick up your jacket. :D
