Big Atonement for big sins. Small Atonement for small sins.
Years started both Chinese and English New Year has passed. Well back from Hong Kong and now back to live in UK. LG (life good) well not bad.
I have been meaning to watch a movie with Riyad (one of best mate) for ages, so discussion been going on for weeks and we decided that we wanted to watch Lady Vengeance film. I like the idea of this movie as it’s made from the oldboy director and also the theme with a Lady getting revenge seem really cool.
Well from days I work and riyad doing late shift that really gave us Thursday to Sunday evening to watch this movie. We decided to go the Thursday, on that day while walking through the tube I notice the poster saying that it’s going nationwide on 10th Feb (the next day). So at work I went through my metro paper to check if anywhere was showing it. Very luckily the curson had a preview showing at 6.30, so I rang them up and ask if they were showing it and if they had tickets. Unfortunately the lady told me that they had sold out. We plan to watch Hidden instead a French movie which had many twists. While trying to arrange the cinema event, my workmate Ed said he would like to join us. Hidden was showing at baker street and curson in 6-7 time slot. So speaking to Riyad he wanted Price difference for both cinema (£9.50 curson - £8.50 baker st), which we eventually decided curson as it was easier via bus for him. Ed left work early then me, so went down to Curson to get the movie tickets first. When I arrived, to my surprise Ed had gotten refunded tickets for Lady Vengeance, he said 5 people didn't turn up. So he had grabbed them. The film was really good, funny at times, very smart and nice soundtrack. This event not only did we watch the movie, we also got to meet Park Chan Wook the director. He had a Q&A after the film which was cool, as he describes his feeling to the vengeance trilogy (sympathy Mr Vengeance, Oldboy, Lady Vengeance) and his JSA (joint security area) blockbuster. One dude had the most awful question, which every got everyone annoyed thinking he was a twat that wanted to seem smart. After the Q&A we were served with Korean beer and many Korean snacks. From just a night to the pictures, with no planning we got more than we deserved. So on the 9th Feb it’s was LG.
The title is a quote from the film, really touching moment.

what was the Twat's question? : )
In the film, you didn't show the kidnapping of the kids, did you do that to make the lady veagence seem nicer. Well actually i think i've made the question sound better, but he basically ask why the director did that type of direction. which is really up to him.
