Passionate Films Suggested

Hi,

While watching the arrogance of Howard Hughes in "Aviator" and the superficial fanciness of Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu Hustle", you might consider viewing the two showing movies "Closer" and "Crying Out Love..." below, both talking about love.

Apart from its stunning view on contemperory attitude towards mating, the screenplay in "Closer" would show the elegance of English literature.

Along with depicting their affection for aethetics, "Crying Out Love..." presents traditional Japanese's perseverance towards relationship, in contract with nowadays instantaneous style.

I believe watching the films would make one passionate, like listening to Joey Yung's songs.

Cheers,
Eric

It's an imperfect world

It's an imperfect world full of imperfect people. Will it be too much to ask them to be perfect around you?
How about embracing the imperfect world as the way it is?
Accepting the world is ever changing. There will be changes to the better side. There will be hope for a better world with better people.
Business people always talk about "embracing the change", how about "embracing the way as it is"?
