about things

My weekend went okay. After accompanying t to give lecture to this girl at campus (the girl asked for help on her final project thingy--and t was very patient explaining things to her. Even I was overwhelmed by that), we looked up the movie schedule and found out that Ghostwriter was already showing at the theatre. We were about to watch Date Night, but changed our plan to watch Polanski's instead. Before the movie started, I decided to visit my uncle at the hospital first, leaving t at the mall for a while. Well, it was because my uncle just had a heart attack and I'm afraid I'd be so sorry if anything happened to him and I haven't got the chance to meet him. So then, I went back again by cab, right before the movie started.

The thing that caught me about this movie was that it has a nice plot. Nice plot, Polanski, nice plot. I like the opening chapter. I like how the movie describes the writer as a tool and a victim. I like how it visualizes a writer with loads of typed-papers. Classic! And the fact that it was played by Ewan McGreggor. Awesome.
I wonder why most people I met doesn't like Ghostwriter. Yes, I must admit that after watching this movie, I felt like I'd been finishing a test or something since we have to pay extra attention to the story, even the conversation. A lot of braggings occured. But the movie's nice.
The story ended up Polanskiesque, hanging.
And I'd say.. bravo! It's marvelous.

Sorry t, but I like the movie a lot :) I know you'd rather watched Date Night at the time. ;)
