another year of shanghai international film festival

if it had been someone else, i might have been mean and claimed it's discrimination against single people. but it was mike leigh, so i decided to accept it. 'cause throughout all eternity, i forgive you, you forgive me, ahaha. sorry this line just slipped in my mind i don't know why.

actually, the film's still brilliant, it's just i wasn't touched as before. all the love i had for his characters over the years. and now i just failed to feel anything for anyone in this film.

maybe he's not the one that changed. it's me here, over 30, single, bitter, stuck with my own little pathetic principles or political correctness, and determined to live this way till i die. but crying for love? no way, never. you wait and see, you old bastard.

but no, the desperate single 50+ woman wasn't the real problem. i guess it's the well balanced perfect family that put me off. if there's only one thing in this entire universe that i don't believe in, it's a perfect family. and i can't believe there is anyone who can really believe in such thing, let alone mike leigh out of the whole human race.

by the way, shanghai international film festival still sucks this year. but thank god there's beijing international film festival to show how worse things could be.
