Currently on break, happy to do things I can't do during my study days ^^
Last year about this time, I went to Paradigm Mall to watch the famous local Chinese movie 'The Journey 一路有你' with my family and the casts popped out from nowhere after the movie ended.
I got lucky again this year. Out of nowhere, just a message, then the next thing was my buddies and I were at Paradigm Mall (again), attending the special screening of the upcoming (when I got to watch it :P) local Chinese movie 'The Dream Boyz 小电影'.
They invited students from colleges and universities, so we suddenly became representatives of our uni :O
Us before the special screening :P
The complete casts were there with the director to have a small movie sharing session with us :)
*Pardon me for this photo as I sat at the 2nd last row for optimal movie viewing experience :P
Some photos with the director and casts :)
Thank you director for sharing your stories with us :) 70% of this movie is based on his real life experiences!
The friendly cast - Joe (MYFM DJ, emcee and tv host) who offered to take a selfie :P keep up the good job, you're really good in your fields :)
Then the female lead - Wang Qie (model) joined in! :D she really has something in her pocket for acting, thumbs up even though she's a first timer!
Gonna share about my views and thoughts on this movie. Since the movie is in Chinese, I think some feelings are better expressed in mandarin so I'll blog bilingual this time. Scroll down for the English version :)
小电影
真实，
所以引起共鸣；
有共鸣，
所以深入人心。
这部电影，是非一般的激励片。
它是说着我们当初奋斗的斗志，但在现实中，并不是每个人都能一路带着那份斗志，持续地走下去。
因此它从人类的丑陋面出发，诉说着被巨大的遗憾和挫折狠狠打败的人类，追求理想的赤子之心如何被他的过往 - 他曾经的坚持，唤醒。到最后，自己当初说过的话，狠狠地当头棒喝。
“是你自己过不了自己，自己的情绪困住了自己。”
很多时候，只要转个念头，事情看起来就没有那么困难了，不是吗?
同时，身边的人也是不可或缺的一部分。
这部电影带出了亲情和友情的重要性，他们的支持、提醒和陪伴。
这个农历新年，和朋友聚一聚吧 :)
爱情的部分，哈哈青春片少不了的 :P
爱可以是祝福，也可以爱得轰轰烈烈。
有时不说，就真的让他溜走了。
总的来说，很多时候，我们因为眼前感觉巨大的挫折和遗憾，而离开梦想的轨道。殊不知，奇迹一直在身边，只是小得我们没发现，没发掘。
其中一个奇迹，或许你没发现，是在茫茫人海中，你能和你身边的朋友们成为同伴。那个机率，不也是一个奇迹吗?
这部电影，有演员的倾情演出，他们都说，这次把筹码都投进去了，不成就去卖糖水了 哈哈。
很多第一次演戏的，不说我真的看不出。大家的角色都很鲜明，但合起来却不冲突。
导演和众演员付出了他们的所有，看了就会感受到他们的诚意，做电影的赤子之心。
用一句导演的话；
大马人不要因为大马人的身份而支持本地电影，
而是给本地电影一个机会。
2月12日，给小电影一个机会，体验最初追求梦想那份勇气的感动。
希望你们能和我一样被感动，有所感触，真心推荐给大家 :)

The Dream Boyz
Actually it's not all boys, there's a girl too :P
This movie is about us humans who were so brave back then working hard to pursue our dreams. Some are brave and persevere till the end, some have their focus wrongly on the failures then lose hope.
Which one are you and me?
Sometimes, the key to turn the table around is us.
It's our heart and mind that often hold us back.
Although failures seem big but miracles that seem small are everywhere if you realize :)
In the midst of so many people all over the world, we actually get to have and know a bunch of people well who can walk with you and support you. Think of the possibility and probability, miracle ain't it?
Of course there are elements like friendships and romance. We all know how important friendships are in our lives, and in this movie, it'll refresh your views again.
Well written script, it's so related to all our lives that I'm so absorbed until I don't think it's just a movie.
Great choice of casts that paid in their all, no hold backs at all. All In or Never, they said :)
A few of them are first timers who I don't think so at all, they are so natural and great!
A wise phrase from the director,
"Malaysians should give Malaysian movies a chance,
not just blindly think that we should support."
12 Feb, give this movie a chance, you'll be touched.
It's today, 12 Feb!
So grab your movie tickets and be inspired!
Let this movie go through its first week and let it inspire more people :)
From the bottom of my heart, I recommend this movie to all of you.
Note that this is not a sponsored post or anything, I wrote it voluntarily :P
Take care and share with me your thoughts after you've watched it,
would love to hear from you lovely people :)
