Pride and Prejudice (2005)

Here, i'm going to have a brief review on Pride and Prejudice (2005).
All comments are made from personal perspective and i must say i'm i'm not a professional movies critic :p

By comparing the two films, I must say that Pride and Prejudice indeed impressed me. I have been watching this movie for more than 4 times, in just 2 days. It never fail to immerse me.

Pride and Prejudice movie is the adaptation from Jane Austen same name novel. It is believed that the time setting was 1810-1830, based in England. The story is about love and conflict between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, where they are from different social background and ranks.  Keira Knightley starred the role of Elizabeth, while Matthew Macfadyen led Mr. Darcy.

I think, 2 hours is never enough for P&P, it leaves me a sense of emptiness after movie ends :/

I would say Keira's performance in P&P is lively, charming and truly impressive. She is successfully catch the eyeballs of a laymen. Incandescently, she deserved nominations of best actress. In a male-dominated society, women are portrait as feminine, inferior, and obedient. Furthermore, unlike modern society, marriage is determined by parents. However, the characteristics of Elizabeth are rare to seen. She is boyish, clever headstrong and rebel. Elizabeth doesn't talk in the way people like to hear, e.g in the scene of satirizing Mr. Darcy's view on women accomplishments. Besides, the refusal of Mr. Collins propose (a marriage arranged by Mrs. Bennet) is where we seen Elizabeth's bravery and rebel. I never read P&P novel before, but i guess,      the original Elizabeth is what Keira portrayed.

To be continued....

The return

I still blog!! Though hardly see my footsteps :p
Definitely no doubt on my role as a lazy and procrastinate gardener, which i have abandoned this piece of land for nearly four months.
Life changed in these period, not to say a dramatic change, but enough to determine my career path.
Briefly describe what i have gone through these several months.
Firstly, my mom fell sick on January this year, due to severe lung infection. We suspect heavy smoke environment during my grandfather's funeral is the main cause.
She was staying at General Hospital for nearly two weeks. Indeed is a haunted experience.

Following on, i got an job offer from Business Times, the business news section of New Straits Times simultaneously.
Never wonder i have the chance to join this big corp, and i acknowledge the fact that, the press itself has turned out to be a propaganda tool of BN. So stop evaluating me as if i would stand by BN side once i join the company.
I shall report my duty on 6th of May, hence pleasant holiday left only one and half week.
For the past one and half year, i was in Mandarin-versed and Chinese writing environment.
It means joining BT would possess a great challenge to me.
Not only it is not my mother-tongue, frankly to said, i can't cope English grammars and pronunciation. More hard work need to be put.
Besides, it seems like I am destined to work in English language environment after a short three-month internship with BERNAMA during college period.
Guess it isn't something to worry, with the background of a business journalist in English press, i am confident this would broaden my future career direction, as compared to Busy Weekly and Oriental Daily.
So Kris, be prepared and never give up!!

And i'm glad to meet with nice and amiable colleagues in Busy Weekly. Weng Yan, Yoke Man, Wai Yee, Jia Teng, Hun Yi, Jeanie, Dee Dee and Vung Ket are definitely would be missed.

Lastly, to sharpen my writing, guess i would visit here more frequently than before.
