i DON'T think i'm pmsing. cos i'm not unusually hungry 24/7. neither am i exceptionally moody.

BUT. i did cry buckets...






...................watching i not stupid too.


and nooo i did not buy/rent the DVD. caught it on SCV and stayed up till now watching it. it's 1.05 am btw and i'm supposed to be sleeping since i have races tmr. whooops.

i think jack neo is damn talented la. his movies are all somewhat similar, touching on govt issues and oh-so-familiar typical singaporean behavoirs, but yet he uses these very same elements to tug at the heartstrings of his audience, causing people (like me) to reach for the tissues whenever an emotional scene depicting of father/mother-son/daughter reconcilation, father/mother feeling guilty of punishing son/daughter, or son/daughter's fruitless attempts at pleasing father/mother, etc.

from what i recall in my media classes back in uni, i think there is theory called a audience receptor theory, where directors commonly use sentimental emotions of characters to connect with their audience, making them dig into a part of their memory which was once forgotten. and when audience actually ties the scene back with their once forgotten memory AND shares the same emotional feeling with the characters of the show, it means the audience are receptive, and tadaaahh, the director achieves his aim.

which, i think, jack neo uses alot of it in his local movies. no action, no horror, no gore. just plain touching the hearts of audience with familiarisation of scenarios.

then again, i don't really pay much attention during lectures so i might have gotten the theory wrong. or maybe it doesn't even exist. hoho.

but makes sense what, no?

i think i'm just blabbering. maybe it's the pms taking over. i heard joni joni pls don't cry over the radio few days back and felt depressed.

OMG it's 1.33 am. YIKESS. i'm soooooooo going to be a deadweight tmr. hurr.

and i'm not sleepy AT ALL. heeellllppp.

maybe i should go watch i not stupid on youtube or something since i'm at it. and then i'll be rowing with puffy eyes tmr.
