4 Indie Films
Here are some good indie (or not so indie) films that I wanna catch.
THEY ARE REALLY GOOD.
Or they sound really good. And we're always watching big epic films and stuff, and it bugs me. Sometimes movies are just so simple, that they can bring a message across without having to be high-budget, CG, bluescreens and all the hollywood gizmos that you see some films have.
Remember Little Miss Sunshine? Or Little Children? They are both low-profile films that got highly acclaimed. Though it's sad I've missed watching both. Haiz.... fundadoodledoo...
--------------------------- no. 1
Cages
Cages is our very own local production. A name you'll know is Tan Kheng Hua, who plays the protagonist Ali. Cages is a moving film about a father and daughter's unspoken love and relationship, the fears and lonliness in our childhood, and how desperation sometimes pulls us to bond closer with the people we might have forgotton.
--------------------------- no. 2
Eternal Summer
How close is close in a friendship? How bonded are you with someone that every single humane obstruction is minute compared to the love for someone else?
Eternal Summer is an extremely well crafted movie about the friendship of two young men, which began to come into question when a girl comes into the picture, and how love transcends gender and regulations.
--------------------------- no. 3
Jesus Camp
Jesus Camp is a documentary film about the huge Christian movement in America. And how children are being trained to being the keys of God's Word is this new generation of decadence. The film talks about how influential Christianity is becoming among children ministries and throughout America. A highly debatable film; are kids prepared and mature enough to be equipped to become evangelistic leaders? Are they not burning with the passion of God? The condemnation of the secular society towards the christian movement? An award-winning movie that will shed some light for me towards the extent of commitment we are willing to give in glorifying Him. Must must watch.
--------------------------- no. 4
Freedom Writers
In some places, people are still condemned by race, religion and gender. Such a place is Longbeach. The disputes and war that strives on between races are still not over. Some people still judge others by their racial orientations. A movie about the teen angst that is unhealthily placed on racial condemnation amongst one another, and how one teacher is trying to change all that. Time to listen to the freedom writers.
So here are 4 to catch. Maybe after this crazy block is over, I'll go catch them.
