NEW YORK, I LOVE YOU

New York, I Love You
is a collective work of eleven short films,
with each segment running around 10 minutes long.

Some of the actors have international status
(Natalie Portman, Ethan Hawke, Christina Ricci,
Maggie Q, Shu Qi & Orlando Bloom),
with each shooting their part in one of NY's 5 boroughs.

Similar to the previous film, Paris, je t'aime,
the shorts presented together will not relate
but will all tie into the common theme of finding love.

It is THE best film of 2009.
It looks like an awesome show
that I have been looking forward for the entire year.
Simply love short films,
and here we go there are eleven of them.

Excellent cast, many of which are my all-time favourites:

Ethan Hawke!!!
(Screams 'Before sunrise'/'After Sunset'/'Reality Bites')

He is one of my favourite actors to date.
There is something poetic about him that I can't explain.
It's been a long time
since he had any outstanding performance in films.
He has been really active in theatre these few years.
His talents translate into films, plays and books
but sadly he is often under-rated.

Natalie Portman!
(Sreams 'Closer' / 'My Blueberry Nights')

What more can be said about the charismatic actress,
who drawn you with her charms & compelling performanances.
Old-school Hollywood glamour with an edge.

Shu Qi!
(Screams 'Three Times' / 'Millennium Mambo')

The actress whom I feel is best featured
in Hou Hsiao Hsien's art-house films.
She brings dimensions to the charecters she played,
and lures the audiences with her subtle sensuality.

Goodbye, Peter Pan

Happy Birthday ... ...

"Never say good-bye because good-bye means going away

and going away means forgetting."

~Peter Pan

For the past months,I had been trying to avoid
all the media frenzy about Michael J's death.

Detachment is an escapist's easy option.
It's that kinda calm that you experienced
when someone dear passed away.
Detached, while you look at your loved one
lying in the coffin
as if it was a stranger that you never knew,
as if it was someone else's dream
that you have just intruded.
It's only when you are back to the empty house
that you have once shared,
and looking at the lonely bed that is now cold,
that it dawned upon you the fact
that he/she is not ever gonna come back.

His life illustrated to us
both the beauty and evil of mankinds.
Our ability to love others and care for the world
and the wonder of one's gift to create something beautiful.
At the same time,
our capacity to hurt others with our words.
To exploit & distort the truths for self-interests
and hatred towards people who are different from us.

Perhaps we have forgotten that
we used to have a Peter Pan in us long time ago.
Not because we have outgrown our younger self.
But because we have stop believing.

Happiness - A Fleeting Thing

I don't want anything,
I don't care if I'm a nobody.
Just fuck it, I want to be happy.
Perhaps when one grows older,
happiness is just a luxury that is so unattainable.

All I want is just to be happy.
But I dunno why is it so hard.

My half-lived life

Selling out myself to the institution of captialism
was the last thing I expected of myself
but it was an act of conformity that I ashamed of.

People on the train are empty shells without souls
Through their hollowed eyes,
I see fragments of broken dreams & unfulfilled lives

Something inside me is slowing withering
and I can't do nothing about it.
Freedom was a long-lost friend that
I had lost in the midst of crowds.
No more do I have the courage to walk away,
to walk away from everything.

Runaway is forever lost since the day
I chose to let go of you, freedom.
I'm swept along with the currents of streams
to be here. Here and now.

Marxist ideology of Alienation
was a remote concept in my college days,
Though taught and learnt, pre-empt and warned,
nothing is more real than living it.

I'm having a life, but not living it.
There's gotta be more to life than this.

I 'll be out of here before you know it.
