WARNING: <<MAY CONTAIN "kingdom of heaven" SPOILERS>>
I was in a daze the whole day, hardly able to keep my mind on soc sci one or math. In my head the trailer for Kingdom of Heaven kept on replaying. Liam Neeson's raspy voice kept muttering in my ear, drowning out the profs' lectures on mathematicians who drove themselves mad trying to gauge infinity, blah blah blah. I heard none of it. Promise. Si Liam lang...
"
A new world...a better world... One that the world has never seen before... ... A kingdom of conscience...of peace, not war...of love, not hatred....THAT is what lies at the end of the Crusades..."
*kilig*
Grabe. Naging clockwatcher na talaga ako during the last hour of math class. Countdown talaga. And I got my SW done as fast as I can so that we could be oFF and watch it AT LAST!!!
And so here I am! Home at 8, with a soc sci exam in barely 13 hours (which I haven't studied for yet, God help me!!), eyes still glazed over from Kingdom of Heaven-hangover.
*falls down and worships Ridley Scott*
Such vision! Such scope and magnitude!
Also, there were magnificent perfomances by the cast. Kudos to Jeremy Irons (he's DA VOICE), newcomer Eva Green (her eyes! her EYES!!! OOohhh) and Liam Neeson (despite the fact that he died on me in...oh, the fifth scene pa lang ata...the guy just LOVES getting roles that require his DYING), and there was even a suprisingly-good performance by Orlando Bloom (he's come a long way from the pussy-whipped L-O-S-E-R character of Paris he played in TROY). He wasn't such a pretty boy in this film. ALmost no trace of the pristine Elf Legolas remained. Orlando was beaten, bashed, mauled, dragged, skewered, sliced, burned, arrested, dropped onto a pile of sand, kicked, shipwrecked....Goodness, what WASN'T done to the poor guy as Balian??
As I was leaving the women's CR, I overheard someone say, "Ay sa wakas, natuto nang umarte si Orlando BLoom!!"
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! =-) No comment!
Watta film. It was epic, but it also realistic. Too realistic, i heard some people complain on the way out of the cinema. But I can't help but feel that its message (that Jerusalem should not belong to any one religion, religious-tolerance, etc.) is so TIMELY, so fitting for the struggle still going on over there today.
Ridley Scott is a brave, brave man.
MOving on>>>>>Sean Connery who??? :)
It's official. Sean Connery has been replaced. Gabi and I are going TO WAR over James Stewart. Kapal nga ni gabi e. Pa- "Jimmy" STewart Jimmy Stewart pa sya. Feeling chummy-chummy sya ha!! Grrr!! :)
AAAAhhh I'm in LOOOVE with a DEAD MAN!!! AAAAHhh!!!
