BEDTIME STORIES (2008) (a)

“There are no happy ends in real life, the sooner you guys know it, the better.”

Comment:
There are always happy ends in all the quotesinmovies.blogspot.com readers’ lives. Because we are the people who believe that we can, we are the people with spirit. We will never give up doing good things. In fact, the character who said the line above finally found that he has a happy end life at the end of the movie. Though real life is not a life in the movie but the faith that we all will have a happy end in life are the same.

Summary of the Movie:
Marty Bronson (Jonathan Pryce) who raises his son and daughter on his own has to sell his homey motel to clever Barry Nottingham (Richard Griffiths) who promises to make Marty's son manager, when he's grown up and has proven himself. Nottingham pulls down the motel to raise a pricey hotel. Although grown up, Marty's son Skeeter Bronson (Adam Sandler) works as a janitor and general servant, but unlikely as it seems, he still dreams of becoming the manager. When Nottingham announces a brand-new gigantic hotel project, he makes his future son-in-law, base Kendall (Guy Pierce), manager, shattering Skeeter's dream. At the same time Skeeter's sister Wendy (Courtney Cox) has to leave town for a job interview and asks him to alternate looking after her two children Patrick (Jonathan Morgan Heit) and Bobbi (Laura Ann Kesling) with Wendy's responsible-minded colleague Jill (Keri Russell). He doesn't get along with either Jill or the children, but his easy-goingness loosens them all up and once he starts telling his bedtime stories, the children grow fond of him and begin to bring in their ideas about how the stories should go. When the stories turn out to become true in real life, Skeeter tries to manoeuver the stories into a direction which will make his dream come true, too.

“The human face can mislead in a thousand different ways. But the eyes never change.”

Comment:
The eyes are the window to the soul. They never lie. According to Deddy Corbuzier, a famous mentalist from Indonesia, in his book “Mantra” (2005), there is a way to find out whether a person lies or not only by looking at his/her eyes.
Basically, there are three points of view of human memory ability. The first one is the visual point of view; it has something to do with the things that are attractive to our eyes. The second one is Hearing. It records things that we heard in the past. And finally there is sense Taste or Feel.
When we are trying to remember things that are related to our sense of sight/visual, our eyes tend to look at upper left side, if they are things about our hearing sense then we tend to look at middle left direction. In addition, whenever we think about some things that influence our feeling or taste, our eyes will look at the lower right direction.
We tend to look at the opposites direction when we are trying to imagine things. For example, when you are trying to imagine about how you will look like if you have mustache and your head is bald, you’ll tend to look at upper right direction. The same things happen to the hearing, and feeling sense. The eyes directions between remember and imagining are contradicted.
Therefore, when we ask someone about the taste of food and the answer is “it’s delicious” but his/her eyes look at the lower right is means he/she is imagining or in other words he/she is making up a reason or he/she is lying.
We cannot simply say that this is a scientific science, however in reality, this phenomenon happens toward the way human brain works.
The eyes never change=the eyes never lie

BANGKOK DANGEROUS (2008) (a)

“The best way to defend yourself is to know when something’s about to happen. You have to learn to read your surroundings.”

Comment:
This quotation reminds me of a Javanese term “Eling”. A couple of years ago, when I was in Jogjakarta, a good friend of mine taught me about Eling. Approximately, Eling is about concise or self awareness and how we control it even in a critical time. Or in other words, Eling means do not be panic in every situation even the worst one.
See… for example method you are about to perform in front of an audience, you feel so nervous. And you get stumble on the cable of the microphones. What will you do? Go back home and forget about the performance like it never happen? No way. You are the center of the attention; find the way to overcome it. Make some joke. Remember to Eling.
The former president of the USA is one of the people who are very good in implementing Eling. When someone threw shoes to him, he managed to avoid it and instead of getting mad and asking SS agents to kill the man, he just stayed calm, proceeded with the speech and even made some jokes. He managed to implement Eling.
There might be a question on how Eling plays its role when we are having a car accident? Well in the case like this, Eling works when at the critical moment, you can make the right decision to swerve the car to the right position. Eling works when you are checking to make sure that everyone in the car you are driving is okay. It works when you go and assure that your surroundings are okay as well. You control you emotion and you control your surroundings.
Finally, I just want to remind you to always Eling wherever you are. Make Eling as your affirmation so that you can control yourself and your surroundings, and when things get worse, you still san control them.
Happy Eling

Summary of the Movie:
I Want To Believe (taken from the slogan on the poster in Mulder’s office, fact fans) finds our heroes seven years older and a million miles away from their previous occupations. Scully (Anderson) is now a doctor in a church-run hospital, fighting to save a boy with a seemingly incurable disease. Mulder (Duchovny) is a bearded recluse, living in the middle of nowhere cutting newspaper articles and still searching for ‘the truth’. He gets his chance, however, when the FBI ask him back to help find a missing agent. Their only link to the victim is a psychic priest (Billy Connolly) who has visions of the missing agents, and Mulder must determine whether he is the real deal before it’s too late, but their investigation leads both Mulder and Scully back into the dark world of the paranormal.
