Chinese Cinema!
2nd post today after a break of 2 weeks? sounds suspicious!

Seriously, I'm just lethagic to get back to serious tone to start doing my special semester midterm assignment. To write a 1500 words essay about culture and the film "Goddess"

Missed the first 3 lessons last week and yesterday was my first lesson of chinese cinema!
And having to watch it with yan. That would mean that we saved $15 on watching movie!
*WAOH!!!

The first movie we watched was about male homo. And it was concluded that the reason why it is totally banned (instead of having a Restricted rating) despite having no explicit scenes in here was because the male homos have a HAPPY ENDING!! Similar films that have even more things to show were allowed partly because it did not promote such alternative lifestyle by having the male lead to have a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE DEATH! or a SUPER SAD ENDING!

So one word of advice if we are making such films so that it will not be banned, is to ensure all the homo characters suffer. Need not have a horrible death though, Just inflict them with some sort of pain and suffering! But the more suffering inflicted upon, the higher chances it can be pass thru the sensorship board. Of cos we are not refering to heart break pain yeah.

And after seeing from another perspective from the lecturer, i'm having second thought of the existance of homo. IT was consider abnormal because it is coming from a minority. Nonetheless, there are evidence throughtout history regarding such actions. 断袖之癖 and 余桃头吃 are two expression that have their own dian gu regarding such practices. And who knows?, maybe i'm one of them too!! haha!!

One way to see if you are or not (according to the lecturer), was to watch such films.If that turn you on, it will mean you are one of them and you learn something about yourself today! if not, then dont have lor. haha

Watched last week's film, Goddess as well. Starring Luan Li yu! from the 1930s. it was a silent movie and if i didnt know that its going to be my assignment, i could have fallen asleep. Nonetheless, considering their technology back then, i would say the movie was actually inspiring. Too bad i was watching it alone... oh well..


So by the time i finish typing this post, its just nice for DINNER!
haha.. assignment will have to wait!!
