Really.. it irritates the crap outta me when people who doesn't know art, doesn't know how to appreciate art thinks it's funny.
Was in the cinema today watching.. bizzarely... a Chinese film, The Banquet. Friend said the cinematography is breathtaking and judging from the poster, it does look attractive. I am a sucker for films set in ancient times. Plus, there's Zhang Ziyi and Daniel Wu. Ha..
Amazingly, we managed to get tickets.. on a phreaking Saturday without booking!
Indeed, the movie was simply beautiful. Artsy. I wouldn't mind watching it again. It's beautiful.
What irritated the crap outta me is that when you are relating or feeling the emotion the movie is trying to express.. someone or rather a group of Cina Ah Bengs started laughing. It's not even funny. I was puzzled.. There the whole cinema was sympathizing with the character and they laughed.. thinking it was a punch line or meant to be one.
Oi! Spoil mood only la.
The actress was speaking poetically and they.. laughed....
What is so funny??
Did they get their fragments of brains screwed up properly into a single piece this morning?
If you don't understand what the story/actor is trying to portray, at least please.. don't laugh so heartily and LOUD when no one is! Feel like throwing popcorns at whoever it is. Or even my shoe!
Urgh!
Sometimes when a person is trying to emote through art, people find it funny/hilarious. It disturbs me.
It's not a crime not knowing how to appreciate art. I frankly do not know how to appreciate it fully too but at least respect it la.
It IS then a crime when you don't respect it!
There, the person is trying to express and you laugh at them?!?
A person is trying to express sadness.. through a poem, perhaps, or a dance movement, or a song, or a mime and you laugh at them?!?
Being sad is funny isit? Being emotional is funny isit?
What kind of person are you?
You insensitive whale.
To those who laughed at artistic expressions.. let's enlighten you on Law 888 of how not to be a buffon.
You only laugh when it is a comedy! You know, when the show has Jim Carey or in it and it has a REAL punch line. Other then that, you don't laugh. If you don't know what expression to put on or how to react, just be very quiet and we might think you don't exist. We'll appreciate it greatly. If not, just be a copycat and follow the majority.. they are probably right.
I just think that because you find it difficult to express it out yourself while others can and do, with passion, you find it absurdly ackward and weird but that doesn't give you a right to laugh at that person for expressing his emotions. It takes a lot guts to express and more, if through art. It bares a person's vulnerability and not everyone can do that. Therefore, to those who can, we should respect them somehow.. and the first thing is by NOT LAUGHING at what they are doing or trying to do.
Grow a heart!
