I'm 13 mins into the movie "Fracture" and so far, it's been a really good 13 mins. The whole setting's pretty dark. The mood, the technique, the lighting. I especially like it when Anthony Hopkins was washing his arms and face and you could see mist caused by the difference in the temperature of the water to it's surrounding atmosphere, and the specks of floating water molecules outlining his frame. The lights and angle and camera movements/techniques has so far set a very dark and sinister mood to the entire show and what's to come. Oh and there was this amazing scenery as Anthony Hopkins drove off into the sunset in his really suave car and a jet was booming at speed in the orange sky along with him. Hmm, ok, lets see...

And now it's 1 hour and 48 mins into the show. The credits just started rolling. As the movie went on, it really felt like Anthony Hopkins's character was gonna walk away from a crime he committed acquitted of all charges due to insufficient, or rather, the lack of proper substantial evidence. The whole plot was sort of predictable actually. It was kinda like u knew it'd either go this way or that, just which exactly u're not too sure. It was either Anthony Hopkins's character would be free to go and Ryan Gosling's character'd b left in the dumps and the show would end with the bad guy holding the gold medal, or Gosling's character'd find something substantial enough to bring Hopkins's character back to court for trial and eventually win because he couldn't go wrong with the evidence he found.

Man, I should've watched this before sitting for my Media Law paper. But who am I kidding, it's not like it was gonna make the paper any easier. No heart to study and sit for exam, means no heart to study and sit for exams. No matter how many courtroom dramas I watch, it's still gonna be the same. But I must say, after a semester of Media Law, I'm less lost now when I watch law crime movies with lawyers renting off in court in their lawyer's jargon. At least now I understand the terms they use a little more than before.

But nevertheless, I thought Fracture was a really good movie. Not only the plot, but also the setting and filming technique. If u actually pay attention to the kind of perspectives and angles and styles they applied to the film, it bolds the meaning of the entire storyline a lot more, and in a more-than-words-can-say kinda way.

What the hell mannnn. I'm suppose to be studying for MASSINA. Not watching a stupid movie.

Media Law was quite bad. At least for me. And I tried not to think about it, and about everything else, so having met Charis Eileen and Freesia after my paper was quite a good breather. And celebrating Eileen's 20th by bringing her on a joy stroll around Orchard Road blindfolded was also much fun! I swear, I think that idea has got to be one of the most spontaneous I've thought of so far for a way of celebrating one's birthday just amongst the 4 of us! Well, I hope the pictures doesn't take centuries to come.

Ok, it's 3am now. Lucky thing I'm not all that tired at the moment, so there's still a bit of energy left to study for MASSINA. And my heart has been racing since before I started watching Fracture which was like around slightly after midnight. The same kinda of racing I got before, and just a little under a year ago. It was quite an unpleasant feeling. But the reason to why it was racing was even more unpleasant to discover. So I'm really half hearted to whether I want to knw the reason to my cold hands and my speeding little blood-pumping machine is due to the very same heart wrenching truth I suspected that faithful day, slightly under a year ago.

Well well, pictures of Eileen's birthday up soon. Hehe! Eileen, I know u're excited! :D

And mayb my Phuket trip too. We'll see how that goes down.
