Reborn

(Spirited Away, Haaku distracting the spirits)

It’s been a while since I last posted in this becoming dusty blog spot of mine. I was away. Well I had Tumblr fever which kept me from posting in here. I particularly liked the thought that you can post shorts on it, a quote, a link, or a photo with pre-customized platforms and then call it a blog. Because firstly, I believe, blogs are supposed to be long. Right? People write long blogs – the reason which kept me from posting in here. But now I am back. What I am supposed to write? Anything. Yes. Blogs should be about anything that crosses your mind…

I was away for six days for the Holy Week. Yes. I am a practical Roman Catholic. I brought two novels and some notes with me because I thought it was a good idea. I end up watching a lot of movies. Here is the list in the order of happiness and satisfaction:

Spirited Away (2001) – This movie is directed by Hayao Miyazaki and I particularly liked this movie. I cannot describe the odd feeling of watching it and of after seeing the movie. This odd feeling is the same way I felt for Prince Caspian, his other movie Howl’s Moving Castle, and the Harry Potter movies. There is common among them though, those movies involve magic. I like fantasy movies a lot and most especially when spoken with an English accent, or something similar. There is a peculiar ambience invoked when movies are spoken with an English tongue: classy, influential; which makes you listen to it more, imposing if not noble. You should also see Miyazaki’s other movie Howl’s Moving Castle and then you will agree with me that there is a vivid similarity between HMC and Spirited Away; the characters, the musical score, and the plot itself.

Prince Caspian (2008) – As I have said, I like fantasy movies especially with a English tongue. There are a lot of Mediterranean casts on the film and I believe it is to achieve a “barbaric” flavour of the film. Ben Barnes, William Moseley and Skandar Keynes are eyecandies. Eyecandy Skandar has an interesting ancestry and if you do a search in Wikipedia, you will be amazed as I am. hehe

Well, those weren’t much is it? But this is relativity. You don’t get to watch a lot of movies if you are in my shoes: Slowpoke internet and a tiring major which is Accountancy.

I’m downloading four and I have to wait for a century: Young Victoria, The Last Station, American History X, and Dorian Gray.
