It used to be simple. You just go with the flow. Now, it's like.. go AGAINST the flow. It has been one helluva tiring week. Same routine, same everything. Insanity is looking for something different by doing the same thing again and again.
Pressure can classified into many things. To me, it's not that I'm complaining(which I am) about all the hype I've been getting into, it's the fact that you keep wondering about the fact that the light at the end of the tunnel seems to getting dimmer.. and dimmer.
When get to this point, you get desperate. You start making all sorts of excuses. I ain't good because of this and that.. even you know it that you're heading nowhere. You get all self-conscious, you feel the world's turning on you. Your pals tell you that you're no good, but you tell yourself not to listen to them. Your mind gets all jumpy when you realize you've loads of other things to do- homework, hormones etc.
I've been thinking, why not, I just take it all in? Deal with all my problems, that's it. Shut up about it. C'mon, that ain't gonna happen, is it? Life's best when it's simple right? So, I choose to face these problems, and not run away from it. If I ever get out of this path- and hide like a sissy- , do remind me that I have made a vow, to move forward. This may sound a lil' bit weird, but come,join me, and lets go a ride, face your problems. After all, what's there to lose?
Review of The Week!
Movie : The Avengers (2012)
Awe-inducing, funny and action-packed, this could be the superhero movie of the year (not that there are many).
It is unusual for directors to modify the genre of superhero movies. To be precise, if we are looking for some popcorn entertainment, Joss Whedon could have easily turned this into a full-blown alien-versus-superhero affair (that actually would not be too bad). Interestingly to note however, he does not. With an affinity to blend action scenes with tongue-in-cheek humor, he balances the tone of the movie to be both rewarding and most definitely, superhero-themed.
There are plenty of noteworthy things you can brag about this movie. The cinematography, the script, the visuals, the cast, the production design. Surely though, there would be one or two flaws, but they are not really meant to be called 'flaws' per se. Bending the laws of physics, 'saving the world' is saving the US and how Hulk manages to comply to orders are just some of the minor 'flaws'. These are probably things that you would just like to ignore for the sake of giving the director the benefit of the doubt.
It is quite evident that Whedon has made this film his own. He incorporates humor into almost every scene, as if things are not to be taken too seriously in the world of The Avengers. And it should be like that. Again, the emphasis on superhero movies usually lie on destruction, life-saving and personalization of characters. But here, there is some of that, but not completely. No chessy lines. No rushed pacing. No cliche-ridden narrative. (Just Loki speaking in a not-so-sharp English accent.)
The movie can also be likened to last year's Deathly Hallows (Part 2); a lot of hype, and duly delivered. At least we could expect how the last Harry Potter movie was meant to be : an emotional, epic battle. The Avengers did deliver but there is something different to the whole theme that somehow manages to change our view on how superhero movies should be in the future. Is it Robert Downey Junior's Shakespearean jab at Thor? Or is the excellent cinematography of sticking to single shots instead of quick-fire editing? Heck, it could even be Scarlett Johansson's semi-obscene display of bust. Anyhow the movie is a success, most definitely.
Unprecedented, now that is one word to decribe Joss Whedon's take on a superhero movie.
Personally*... Stay in your seats till the end; there are rumors that an extra scene is added to the US version of The Avengers, for compensation of the late release.
