Raise the Red Lantern

Has anyone seen this classic movie directed by Zhang Yimou? Well, I just saw it the other day at Crunchyroll. The beauty about sites like Crunchyroll is that I can watch it for free (though you need to subscribe if you want to watch more than 5 clips) he he he he he...No need to download, but you do need to have a fast internet connection. ;-D

If some of you have seen Raise the Red Lantern, what do you think about it? I'm GLAD I wasn't born in that age and place where concubines abounded. I felt sad in a way when watching the "politics" among the concubines as they tried to grab the attention of the husband.

I can't imagine how life is for people who have many wives or husbands. How can a man be fair to more than one wife?

One thing that intrigued me was that the main character was a university student for 6 months and she made bad choices while being a concubine that really drove her to the edge. It's very clear that even though you're "educated" (because the other concubines weren't highly educated as she was), that doesn't mean that you're wise. Wisdom comes with experience.

It's sad to think that women that day lived like that, but it's reality...History is history and hopefully the sad parts in history won't be repeated.

Oh, almost forgot...another thing that intrigued me is how it feels like to have a foot massage like in the movie. All the concubines are dying to have that special foot massage again he he he he he...Interestiiinnggg!!!

P.S. If any of you is thinking of watching the movie in Crunchyroll, one word of advice from me is that DO NOT read the comments at the side since they may contain spoilers!!! The movie consists of 4 parts and there are plenty of comments already and one time I accidentally read some comments while waiting for the movie to load and that was a BIG mistake he he he he he...

My Fave Manga: Glass Mask

Well, I've got some all-time favourite manga, but the one I watched the other weeks was called "Glass Mask". If you're interested in watching manga cartoons online or watching Asian movies online for free (no download needed), you should considering visiting this site: Crunchyroll. You do need to register before you can watch more than 5 movies, but you don't have to pay for a thing. And mind you, this is NOT a paid post he he he he...

Glass Mask is the story about a girl who's obsessed with acting. What I love about the series is the characters and the character development and the many interesting acting and rehearsal scenes. The conflicts are also very well-built (even if they may be exaggerated sometimes, but that's what mangas are for HA HA HA HA). There's a Daddy-Long-Legs character in the story, but his character is combined with Devils' Advocate character, so it's an interesting mix. Unfortunately, the manga hasn't been completed yet he he he he he...

Even so, this manga has received very high rates from the fans in the above site. I don't know if I'll ever be able to read or watch the end of this series, but I SURE HOPE SO!!!

Some days I love delving into the manga world to escape from the real world and enter the world of impossible possibilities...Splendid!!!

Here's a little cartoon for you. Talk about impossibility!!! HE HE HE...
