I'm a huge Zoe Tay fan.
And I'm never ashamed to admit that.
A lot of people around me have seen her in person but not me :(
One day I will. I think.
Anyway as a fan, I would not allow myself to miss her movie.
Even though I read some bad reviews.
I went into the pretty empty theater and came out with swollen eyes.
Yes, I cried hard. And I wasn't alone.
Zoe didn't disappoint as usual.
I'm not being biased here (maybe a little) but no one (definitely not the I'm-so-cute F**n W**g) can replace her!
Of course, a movie that made you cry so hard also made you think...
My brother thought the scene of her on-screen son browsing magazines with sexy ladies showing cleavages, was too random.
I told him that scene is to show that most men, young or old care about sizes. Of boobs that is.
Just like how men are particular about the sizes of their ahem manhood.
And when women are hit with breast cancer and need to remove it or them, they would feel like it's the end of the world because it's either a sign to the end of womanhood or they worry about what the men think...
And there's the scene where Zoe said, that often, the sick ones need to be tougher than and strong for those who are not because the latter are more lost and helpless at times like this.
We can't share the pain. We can only stand by your side and watch.
When one in the family falls sick, everyone suffers so do one another a favour and be healthy.
I think the one scene that made me almost choke on my tears was when Zoe's son hugged her and she gave him a "wow, my son is hugging me" look. When was the last time you show your love and affection towards your parents? Not when they are sick...
I guess the movie made us cry so hard because we can relate to it in one way or another.
When my aunt and family came together to battle her cancer TWICE, it was tormenting to watch. And worse for them to go through it twice!
It was like the pain and sufferings were rather be forgotten, unspoken.
It's always a tough journey for the cancer patients and their families and for those who survived it, I salute you.
