The Leap Years
Happy Leap Year!
Okay that was yesterday. What special things did you do yesterday which you will never be able to do again on the same day for another four years?
Me? I went to see a local movie called "the Leap Years". It was romantic, starred Joan Chen and some other good looking actors... but erm kinda stopped there. For a local film, it didn't have a lot of locals and they spoke Cantonese rather than Mandarin/Hokkien mix. The movie was geared towards a wider audience - outside Singapore as well. Maybe that's why it didn't garner a lot of plaudits from locals (people laughed at the end of the movie...and reviews have not been raving). But I have to say I enjoyed the scenery... it was Singapore but in a very fuzzy, blurry cinematic light.
This is really bad I know, but I have started to relate almost all pieces of media I see to a social agenda by the government... hee. Some of the popular ones at the moment are 1) social development, get people having babies to increase the population 2) Speak Good English campaign!
So this was a good combination of both because most of the actors spoke with American accents and the movie definitely hinted that if you keep waiting and pursuing you will definitely find someone. If that fails, when a rich guy proposes to you, say Yes ;)
