Wah.. .. .. .. .. Today I had a movie marathon with sing and lynn.. A good movies marathon.. We watched "Troy" and "The Day After Tomorrow"..

wow.. both movies are good but i preferred "Troy"..
I enjoyed the Greek sceneries, the massiveness of the battle, the power of love.. ..
I can't give a detailed scence of the movie, nor can i relate parts of the movie to real life (juz like how kaili did it).. But after reading kaili's blog on that, i feel the same too.. My tears welled up when Troy King kissed Achilles hand so that he could have Hector's body back..
He kissed his enemy's hand..
An enemy who killed his own son..
The son who is a good man, good father, good lover, good ruler to-be (handsome man too)..

I cried too, when Achilles finally agreed to return Hector's body.. Achilles cried.. I cried with him.. He muz have realised the sin he had done..
For dragging Hector's body from the city to his camp..
For letting revenge to take over him..

All these wouldn't have happened if Achilles' cousin hadn't pretend to be Achilles himself and went to the battle.. Hector wouldn't have killed wrongly then.. Hector even felt remorseful when he killed the cousin.. What a good man..

But did Achilles really died from Paris arrows?? I read from my psy book that he died from an infection of his heel's injury.. Hm.. I wonder which one..
This movie makes me more interested in Greek mythology.. (i have always been interested in greek mythology)

As for "The Day After Tomorrow", i think the visual effect is awesome.. but too bad, i feel that the movie ended too abruptly.. I expected to see more people die, more areas affected, more damages.. Am I sadistic?? Ha.. .. .. ..

Feel that i am getting more emotional (or maybe more human) as the years go by.. I cry easily with the characters in the story..
