After many positive feedbacks from my friends and siblings as well as COUNTLESS facebook posts about it, i'm finally able to catch 那些年, 我们一起追的女孩 today because the cinemas are always packed for this movie.
And EXACTLY because of SOOOO many positive feedbacks from my friends and siblings, i expected this show to be DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNN nice. Well, i must admit i enjoyed the movie and it was definitely worth my 7 bucks, but no i didn't think it was SOOOOOOOOOO nice as i imagined it to be.
Give the director credit when its due, i really thought the ending of the movie was put together very well. The flashback used was 恰到好处, meaning it was sufficiently used to bring out the emotions that the movie was trying to portray (unlike those incessant flashbacks in korean shows). The lead actress/actor acted very well, and there was humour infused into the show as well. All in all, a light hearted movie that's great to catch with family & friends.
But no, it's not as good as what people portray it to be. So here's my own review (on what's lacking/stupid or what's so normal about the movie) of the movie. Cheers, it's just my two cents worth, u don't have to agree with it.
WARNING: SPOILER AHEAD

HECK LAH everybody also watched liao.
1) 沈佳仪 is a cheap girl?
I wonder if i'm the only one who realised this cock part in this lovey dovey show. Remember the part where shen jia yi quarreled with ke jing teng in the rain over the fighting competition he organised? They sort of 'brokeup' after this incident (since they were nvr really together) Then when ke jing teng's friends heard about it, they rushed to confess to her. So the chubby dude (who took the train) reached her first, confessed his feelings, grabbed her hands, AND SHE AGREED TO GET TOGETHER WITH HIM?
At that moment i was so close to shouting WTF in the cinema.
Like seriously? Isn't that abit cheap of her? And where got so easy one?! Kns next time i wanna get girlfriend so easy liao, just wait for my friends breakup with their gfs, then i go grab their gf's hands then OH together liao! Alright jk obviously i won't do that. But do u see how ridiculous is it?
2) Story plot is quite normal
Guy and girl didn't like each other at 1st. Girl mugs alot, guy doesn't like to mug. Guy starts to mug because of girl, then they fall in love with each other. And then when they brokeup (sort of), ke jing teng loses the motivation to study. Sounds familiar? Well yea DUH, because it used to happen in my alma mater! So many guys i know are forced to mug because the girl they like MUGS too, and the only way they could get close to them was to mug with them. As the saying goes, 'If u can't beat em, join em'. I guess this applies here as well.
Well i guess i could submit my plot too, and who knows? It may turn into a well loved movie next time! So here goes my plot: Guy likes girl. Girl believes in christ alot, guy doesn't believe in christ. Guy starts going to church because of girl, then they fall in love with each other. And when they brokeup, guy loses motivation to go to church. Sounds familiar too? HMMMM.
3) Cheesy lines
I don't rly appreciate cheesy lines, but well, ALL love stories have some sort of cheesy lines. That's perfectly fine. This brings me to my next point, what makes this movie's cheesy lines any more special than the rest of the love stories?
4) Overused yellow humor
A certain amount of yellow humor does invoke laughter, but i felt that the movie had a tad too much of it, which loses its effectiveness.
Once again, let me remind everyone that this is just my opinion. I've got nothing against people who love this movie to bits. And i've mentioned that i enjoyed this movie as well, so if u have the time and money, please do catch it.
CIAOS
And WTF?!
2NE1 with the best vocals + song of the year? WHAT BULLSHIT. Check their songs out below!
I picked out these 2 videos coz they are the highest viewed videos from 2NE1 on youtube. And if i'm not wrong the first one is 'SONG OF THE YEAR'.
LIKE SERIOUSLY?!?!? No offence to their fans out there, but SERIOUSLY? That's the song of the year? Best vocals? They sound so AUTOTUNED to me. If u define autotune as best vocals, then nothing to say lah. P.S I'm not saying that they can't sing, but honestly they don't sing as well as...DAVICHI.
YES! They beat Davichi to win the best vocals of the year award! Now check davichi out!
You be the judge okay.
And just my opinion, i think they should differentiate 'MOST POPULAR' and 'BEST'. Superjunior's mr. simple won BEST album of the year. Seriously other than mr. simple i don't know what other songs they have in their album man. And i'm sure there are a handful of people out there like me. They probably won that award becoz of popularity lah...
I miss the old times where there can be so many good songs in 1 album man, nowadays finding 2 or more good songs in an album is sooo difficult!
MTV awards and Taiwan Jin Qu Jiang like more interesting leh, like got more artists, more performance, and the results are not CONFIRMED. Meaning artists can attend the awards but not win anything.
Wahaha SNSD singing BoA's song, can't get any better than this!
Although i have great love for SNSD, but i still got to say that BoA's vocal and live performance is still much better than SNSD!
Speaking of which, why BoA so long nvr chu1 album already? KNS.
The article talked about the interview with 3 president scholars.
When asked 'What was the greatest setback in your life?', one replied 'Setbacks? I think everybody have them in their lives. But i don't wish to talk about mine, they shouldn't appear on a newspaper article'.
When asked 'What are your interests in life?', another president scholar went on talking about all the awards and medals he attained since young.
And the last president scholar, which we all are probably familiar with, gave another shocking reply. As we all know, one president scholar this year didn't get straight As for his A levels. Which is actually a positive thing because it shows that our education doesn't emphasise only on academic results, but all rounded excellence as well. However, when asked about his results, the president scholar declined to talk about it, stating that it was 'his greatest regret in life', and hoped that it will not be published.
With all due respect, i have great admiration for these president scholars. They're probably gonna be key appointment holders in our nation next time. Especially the president scholar that didn't get straight As, because he showed me that academic results don't mean everything in this competitve nation. Although i didn't know him very well, he earned my respect because of his all rounded excellence. I truly believed that he deserved the president scholarship.
But frankly, how can he expect others to believe that he truly deserves the president scholarship, when he can't even accept his own results, or as a matter of fact, his own abilities? Which is, IMO, a pity, because he has a great potential.
As for the other 2 president scholars, one just showed me that he is an airhead, while the other just showed me that he's downright perfectionist/elitist.
Albeit a hasty judgement, but i believe it is conclusive enough to show where our society is heading. In a country where parents compare their children from young, we're geared to be perfectionists, with no room for any flaws. Which brings me to my point.
What is so good about being the best at everything?! It'd be so damn boring to be perfect! There's no one to chase after when ur at the top, u'll be all alone! Sometimes, u gotta fall, before ur know ur flying.
Lately, i sorta pissed 2 of my frens off. I figured it was probably partly my fault, but it's rly hard for me to change. Because, maybe that's just me?
I'm not good at words. I don't think. I act irrationally sometimes. I speak without thinking. I am probably one asshole and i don't deny that.
But seriously, i can't change. I tried, but there's only so much that i can do to surpress myself. I hate thinking before i speak, especially in front of friends. I know that shouldn't be the way, but it's tired to be thinking everytime before u speak. It's quite a mental torture to me.
Every little thing that people say about me, be it good or bad, rings in my head for longer than u think. I can spend the whole day, whole night before i sleep, thinking about it.
So i would always wish for someone whom i could just rant to. Or at least, dun make me think even more.
But honestly, such people are really hard to come by. And when they do, i don't seem to be able to keep them. U see, it's difficult to strike a balance btwn work and social life. Sometimes when i reach home i'm sooo tired dat i just feel like throwing aside evrytin and just stone in front of my com, watch tv, then sleep. Catching up with friends can be very tiring too, especially during this time when they're shifting to a new phase. They have so many activities, so many new frens, and it's hard playing catch up. When i do talk to them, i'll be so tired and wun be thinking much either. Which is why i probably don't think before i say some stuff.
I dunno what point am i trying to make here i'm just confused and tired and i don't wanna think anymore. Big ZZZ.
