butterfly effect 1

i saw tao gay sprouting from the soil of my cactus plant outside my window. then i remembered throwing in a few green beans a couple of weeks ago and had totally forgotten about it. the tao gay is really tall and leafy now and reminded me of my primary school days when we would put green beans on wet cotton buds and watch them grow for science lessons.

i was in a mood to watch a film last night. and i chose butterfly effect over edward scissors hands and born into brothels. heard many good critics for butterfly effect in the past years, but never gotten down to watch it, but i did last night & it was mind boggling good.

what you did or decide for your life in the past will potentially create a whole big chain of events to determine your destiny and that of the people around you. and then the devil would whisper by your ears, saying: “what if…?” “if only…?” and you start to have wishful hopes and thoughts of traveling back in time to amend certain events in your life in hope for a better ending.

a murderer would wish to “un-murder” someone

just like the classic movie “back to the future” or the recent jay chou’s secret, butterfly effect manipulate the fragility of a human mind, and its desire for the best for its life and its love ones’.

it has been a long time since i cried in a film. the last time was Big Fish, heh heh…
i was sobbing away towards the end of the film, when the guy went back in time as a boy and said nasty stuff to the little girl he loved so much, for her future’s sake, for love.

i'm sure there would be overly rational people out there that would go: where got such things one? not possible to travel in time lah.

i thought: there are those idealistic individuals who live without regrets, who look forward to the future and treasure the present more than the past. while some others hold on to their past so tightly that it became suffocating. though this movie in the eyes of the rationals would be absurd, i didn't think so.

is there something in your life that you wish to change or hoped that it never happened?
would you choose not to know a person at all for love?

i wish.

butterfly effect 2 seemed like crap though
