Although music continues to move on, a part of it always remains, and never dies.

Masterpieces.

Posted in insights, movies, videos by rowlandanthony on July 20, 2008

I envy people who can create masterpieces on a TV screen or a movie screen because it is difficult to do so. Actually, a masterpiece, usually a painting, or a sculpture, or a drawing, is imagination immortalized at its best; immobile, beautifully trapped under a single frame, captured on that single best orientation, taken from the best possible angle; a fragment of humanity frozen in time, unmoved, undisturbed, unchanged, the same, forever. On a TV, or a movie, a masterpiece may occur at one time, and then may disappear on the next few rolls of film, and then it may appear again. Or disappear. It can get inconsistent. Movies do get draggy, and become lackluster. Sometimes the plot just goes haywire and everything becomes like the coke with melted ice beside your seat. TV shows always have their share of bad ratings. They can’t just possibly show sex-themed scenes everyday, right?

Worse, it’s easier to obtain a pirated version of them. Masterpieces are supposed to be impossible to replicate, because they are not mass-produced like China toys. In fact, they are not mass-produced. Masterpieces are mindfully created. They are the brilliant work of the mind, inspired by life, made tangible by amazing hands, given soul by the heart. The magnanimous colours from sweat and blood. Immortalized by time.

I don’t really know what I’m saying here.

*******

Anyway,

I have watched the Dark Knight, and I must say that it is the best comic book-based movie ever. No, it should’t even be classified as a mere adaptation of the comic book. The original plot more likely conveys a thrilling psychological thriller. The Joker just gives you the shivers. The awesome cast brings justice to the awesome plot. It’s a crime movie that ignites the senses. A film that successfully explores human frailty, human weakness, strength; inhumanity, humanity. Ah. I’m bad in giving good criticisms.

But I must say, watching Indian advertisements on YouTube with a biscuit and a cup of coffee for a few minutes is just as good as watching the best Batman movie ever with a popcorn and iced lemon tea for two and a half hours.

Close to you.

In today’s world where the majority of new songs are as loud as howling monkeys, as ungrammatically-friendly as Beijing signboards, directories and posters, and as short-lived as mosquitoes, it is good to know that there are soul-soothing musical pieces that never die.

Yesterday was a good day. It was Jix’s birthday, which I totally forgot until I saw his face when I arrived in Oldham Hall. They were there – Danson, Zippy, Kenneth, Yza, Jix, Candice, and some of the juniors. Jessie is in Batam, doing overseas CIP. Well I wouldn’t really count that as overseas since Batam is like, a few minutes away from this island? I would compare it to a getaway trip from the busy setting of Manila to the suburbs of Batangas. Well it was OH’s cultural celebration, an event where they all gather and perform some cultural stuff, and then waste precious money by setting up booths that showcase their respective countries. Well, I felt kind of “junk” when I went to the Filipino booth, upon seeing tons and tons of Chippy, Piattos, Onion Rings, Goldilock’s Polvoron, Cornicks, and Dilis! beautifully spread over the table. Gosh, it was all junk food on the table.

It was fun. Went to Raffles Town Club as well. Went to CJC Hostel, ate some prawns. Had a wonderful time with my Filipino friends. Drank Bacardi courtesy of Zippy. Nice booze. Saw someone. Loved that moment.

Went back home at around 12 am.
