A LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE (2010)

This is my very first favorite Thai movie!


Because today is the birthday of the main actor of the movie (Mario Maurer) -- who became my FIRST favorite Thai actor (oh, he is really astoundingly nerve-wrecking handsome!), I thought of writing a blog about the movie.


What I like about the movie is its realism. With "realism", I meant that it can really touch the heart of the viewers who can relate to the stories of "first love" and "puppy love".


Have you kept cans or candy wrappers or papers or other things considered as "trash" just because your crush gave those to you?
Have you tried going to the school corridors just to see your crush passing by?
Have you made a call to your crush (without any purpose at all) just to hear his/her voice?
Have you read the horoscope everyday just to see if your zodiac signs match?


Well.. well.. well..
if you answered "yes" to at least one of my questions (which means that once in your life, you actually became a "normal person" who is crazy about love) --- then I'm so sure that you can relate to this movie!


So try watching it now :)






And meet my Thai "love": MARIO MAURER

Just by looking, he can melt any girl's heart away.

THE LITTLE PRINCE (by Antoine de Saint-Exupery)

A story narrated by a man who crashed the plane he was steering into the middle of the dessert. He was mending his plane when he was suddenly interrupted by a little boy who came out of nowhere. Then the boy, whom he later discovered was a prince of a distant planet, asked him to draw a sheep. That was the start of their profound friendship and the prince began sharing about his adventure of finding a friend and his pursuit of seeking answers to his queries about life.

The aspects I love most about the book are the significant messages which the reader can ponder upon.

The prince and the man finally understood what is truly important in life. And that is love. While we are alive, what really matters is caring about someone or something, fulfilling the confidence given to you and nourishing the relationship made.

The prince cherished and loved a flower which he had been keeping in a glass cover. This made me realize that the object of love is not important. What matters is that there is love and a commitment to guard it forever.

RAILS AND TIES (2007 movie)

When life comes apart, love puts it back together.

“Rails and Ties”. 

I had been confused when I learned about the title, but after watching the movie, I had grasped a little understanding about the reason why it was made that way. Rails – this is not just simply because of Tom Stark’s occupation as a locomotive engineer in Stargazer Express train. I believe that the story started in the rails, when one day, a mother in bad shape with her 11-year-old son in the car, decided to end all her sufferings by parking the car on a rail crossing in the Simi Valley. Eventually, Tom only followed regulations and only moderately slowed down, resulting in a crash that killed the mother. The boy, fortunately, had escaped just in time. After the accident, Davey (the boy who had become an orphan) stormed to the Stark’s residence to ask for an explanation from him. This is where the “Ties” started. At the sight of the boy, Megan, Tom’s wife who suffered stage 4 cancer and was longing for a child ever since, felt sympathy for the boy and decided to keep the boy for some time. Through her persuasion, Tom agreed and this paved the way for some kind of connection between the three of them. It was like they were a complete family. Megan had a happy death while Tom, had the boy as a companion as he promised his wife that he would take care of Davey.
