Movie-The Air I Breathe


Semester break is on!! In come all the supposed-to-have-watched-but-couldn't-because-no-time movies!!! Recently have been watching a lot of movies...a lot...within a span of 3 days, i've watched the entire matrix trilogy, terminator trilogy, hot fuzz, run fatboy run, the bank job, alvin and the chipmunks, lord of war, over her dead body, iron man, speed racer and lastly; The Air I Breathe.

This movie is kinda interesting as it portrays an ancient Chinese proverb of life consisting of 4 emotions happiness, pleasure, sorrow and love. Personally, i think there's more to life than just that...blame old chinese philosophers in ancient China...but anyway the movie in particular linked 4 people with the concept in mind and brought the movie into a nicely done plot, but what really showed through the movie, i think, was how fragile life can be without PURPOSE or HOPE.

All the characters lead their lives within the illusion of those 'emotions' due to their unforgettable past or events that they couldn't let go or the mindset that they refused to renew. However it turned out 'happiness' and 'pleasure' didn't get them far instead 'sorrow' and 'love' faired out well at the end. These are actually spoilers if you haven't seen this movie =_=''

It's an interesting movie anyhow, i give it a 7/10
