Genres Mystery, Thriller

I wonder if crazy person isn't actually crazy. They just choose to open their minds to a new world.

It's the same reprogramming technique; just like how we try so hard to lose body weight, just like how we try so hard to forget our ex, just like how we try so hard to accept the fact that our great-great-great-great-great-great grandmother (you can fill the blank there with another person of your choice) isn't with us anymore.

How do we cure ourselves, so that we think like a psycho? Given the right tools and environments, it's very easy.

How do we cure ourselves, so that we think like not a psycho? It's our choice. Also easy.

If the society doesn't like it, they would just put us (the psycho) in prison. Prison is also not that scary for us. We're just going to be locked up alone. Besides, we have enough meals without even have to struggle.

Some people do have "different" goals.

59. If You Find A Good Way to Hide, Don't Forget to Share, PRETTY PLEASE

Synopsis

In this action-packed thriller, a weekend getaway turns to terror after Brea (Paula Patton) and John (Omar Epps) accidentally discover the hidden world of a brutal biker gang.

Genres Suspense
Director Deon Taylor
Starring Paula Patton, Omar Epps, Missi Pyle

Sometimes, it feels like nowhere is safe. Do you have a plan to counter these kinds of incidents (like the ones on horror movies)?

I notice that everybody in the movie was so curious to find out what had happened. They also showed limited thinking, and refused to work or stay together to defend themselves against the bad guys.

That's why, when I hear suspicious sound, I never get up and see what's going on. I never react until the problem is in front of me. Of course, if it's too hard, I pretend it doesn't exist.

So, during zombie outbreak, in reality without a bunker, I would just do whatever I can to avoid being a zombie. But looking back to my history, I guess, I would become one of the zombies.

Enough, I'm scared

58. Is It Possible That Gender Equality is A Wrong Move?

Movie Synopsis

The torrid true-life tale of how a passionate love affair fueled the creation of trailblazing writer Mary Shelley's Gothic masterwork, Frankenstein. Elle Fanning stars.
Book to Go Along:


Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the book that changed the world
Monster: Publishing to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the publication of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and a movie starring Elle Fanning as Mary Shelley, Monster is a brilliant fictionalized biography akin to The Other Boleyn Girl.

Frankenstein: Two centuries ago this year, the young woman who invented science fiction was only 20 when she wrote the book that became Frankenstein. Mary Shelley said, “People ask how I, then a young girl, could think of, and dilate upon, so hideous subject?”

Gothic Romance: Her father gave her a far better education than any woman of the age could hope for and made her the victim of ongoing incest. At 15, she became involved with one of the greatest poets in England and made love to him on her mother’s grave. When she was 16, she escaped from home by running away for a six week walking tour of Europe and formed a ménage a trois with Shelley and her sister.

Mary Shelley - Frankenstein: Her immediate influences were two of the greatest poets of the age. Her lover, Percy Shelley, coached her to expand her understanding of writing. Her mentor, Lord Byron, challenged her to prove she was as good a writer as the best poet-philosophers of the Enlightenment. Both men admired her mind, and both wanted more. By the time she was 20, she published the book that changed the world.
Genres Drama
Director Yim Pil-Sung, Haifaa Al-Mansour
Starring Elle Fanning, Maisie Williams, Bel Powley

Woman has always been on the losing side.

She has to cook, clean, and milk the children. She is the one who gets pregnant, and gives birth. Even if the male partner can cook, clean and take care of the children, he can never get pregnant and give birth. That's what makes it so unfair.

What to do about it? I mean we have gender equality, but it seems that God himself doesn't approve of our move.

Do you think that we'd better forget gender equality instead? Or, maybe there's a better way to do it. We just haven't figured it out yet.

57. I'm Fine Marrying a Homosexuals, He Can Have Both of Us. But It's Heavenly If He Only Loves Me For Who I Am - A STRAIGHT WOMAN

Synopsis

Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams star in this drama about a woman as she returns to the community that shunned her decades earlier for an attraction to a childhood friend.

Genres Drama
Director Sebastián Lelio
Starring Rachel Weisz, Rachel McAdams,
Alessandro Nivola

Do you think homosexuals truly exist, or it's just a different type of psychological condition?

I read once, that we are attracted to someone like us, to complete us, to complement us. We are at our best when we're around them.

Therefore, I think, it depends on how you're going to open yourself up to the other person, and on how the other person is responding to our signals. It also depends on the environment that influences us. It's that "click" feeling; a feeling where you feel safe, accepted, and be whoever you are at best.

Do you love being treated that way? Do you like it? Well, what should the other person do, do you think?
Ignore everybody, let them do what they want, don't forbid them to do anything (I mean anything, including the negative ones provided they've already known the consequences. I mean including the ones that might hurt us. Allow them to hurt us so bad. Go full throttle at it).

Then, everybody might swarm to get more of your love and fight to have your love only for themselves.

It's funny sometimes, if you look at how the world revolves.
