The Journey: A Movie

Have you ever heard about a movie called The Journey? I am not talking about The Hobbit Unexpected Journey or Journey to The Centre of The Earth. The Journey is actually a Malaysian movie that directed by Chiu Keng Guan. It manages to out-throne the high earning blockbuster movie record held by KL Gangster. I may not be a movie expert but I do know that The Journey is a good movie that should not be miss by any Malaysian.



Basically, the story is about Bee who wanted to get married with Benji. In order to do so, she went to see her dad to get his blessing. The dad asked them to held a wedding ceremony. Benji decided to help the father to hand out the invitation card for the wedding. The journey, taught them lots of amazing experience that change their perspective in life.



The settings is in a Chinese Community where some people still believe in superstitious. I found out that the movie portrays not only the relationship between family members, moreover it also shows the strong friendship bonds. The movie really touched my heart especially the father-daughter relationship.There's some parts of the movie that makes me wanna cry especially when the dad prepared a special birthday meal to celebrate their birthday but the daughter was not able to attend it. I have a mixture of feelings in a scene where the dad is being held by the police for staying in a hotel where the police is doing an ambush. He was suspected of doing bad thing when he did not do any of the crime. The part makes me wanna laugh because of the character calmness in trying to get himself out of the mess however, I do feel sad for him because certainly he did not do any of the crime and the authorities should check it thoroughly before capturing the innocence old man. The funniest part is when the dad and Benji tried to communicate with each other since there is a language barrier as the dad will talk in Chinese and Benji will speak in English.


It's really impressive that the movie manages to build a hot air balloon by plastics. I found out that they made it with the help from kind hearted community in the particular place. It's not an edited graphic that usually seen in a movie but it is a real thing. All the time and hard work of the people that contribute to this movie really pays off as the movie was a success.

Therefore, I really recommend people out there to watch The Journey as it is one of the amazing movie that will taught you new lessons in life.

Ariana Rose

Well,
The actor and actress for The Wedding Breaker or better known as Ariana Rose is different form what I expected (refer to my last post). Though the characters are being played by some new actors, I cannot denied the amazing success of this drama.

This are the actors and actresses of the drama:


Nur Fatiha as Arina Rose
Keith Foo as Tengku Adam Mukhriz
Hisyam Hamid as Harith
Arja Lee as Ramzul
Nabila Huda as Liyana

The drama was slightly different from the novel but overall it does follow the plot. They extended Liyana and Ramzul evil characters, though at the end Ramzul learns the truth and killed his sister. I must admit that in the story, Adam Kamil's character is well portray by Keith Foo. Overall, I really like the sweet relationship between Ariana and Adam.
