Farewell

My dear fellow readers, (or should I say my parents and Ms. Wong) the end has come for my required posting. Which means that the life of this blog depends solely on my will. Knowing myself I can almost guarantee this is my last post and yet part of me believes that to be untrue. While I certainly did not gain in audience numbers I gained in writing experience. This blog has done more than just stimulated my writing but my humor, my wit, my interests , my passions, it alone  represents a whole embodiment of who I am as a person. Besides maybe my rated R absurdity I’d say if you read my blog, you’d have a pretty good sense of who I am, and I hope you ended up liking me aha. So how could I end such a beautiful relationship? By giving you a list of movies to watch while I’m gone.

Sean’s top movies:

5 Centimeters PerSecond is my #1 movie. Not because of it’s heartbreaking romance story, or because of it’s visuals and musical score, but because of it’s impact on me as a filmmaker. If you’d like to know more on that, click here.

When I refer to KillBill I do mean both movies, but I like to consider them one whole movie. The Asian film influence on this movie is undeniable and the direction is clearly the work of Quentin Tarantino, my favorite director. This is a revenge tale done right, so please do yourself a favor and watch it.

When I say I’m going to miss blogging Like Crazy, I’m exaggerating. But seriously, Like Crazy is a beautifully made movie. The way they edited the movie works so amazingly well with the story telling of these two love birds and it makes me jealous I didn’t make something like that. The musical score is splendid as well, capturing the emotions on screen perfectly. In the mood for a true to life romance? Watch this movie.

The Pianist is a movie that will stay with me forever, probably because I watched it so young. Now that I think about it I can’t believe my parents exposed me to such content at that age. It’s damn right traumatizing. But when a movie can sear an image into your head you know it did a good job.

Yes, I have two holocaust movies on this list and yes, they shouldn’t make anymore holocaust movies. Schindler’sList is a classic. Liam Neeson’s performance as Schindler is brilliant. His scene where the jewish people thank him for saving them and he breaks down because he could’ve at least gotten one more is a true tear jerker. “I could have gotten more.” Is a line that truly hits me to this day.

I hope those amount of movies will keep you oh so loyal readers busy from crying for my return. I also hope you’ve learned from my blog as much as I’ve learned about myself when writing it. Movies are the single most widespread form of entertainment of the world. They truly have the power to change the world, whether it’s through a smile, or an idea. Hopefully the next place you’ll see my name is on the big screen. Til then folks, Live long and prosper.
