Today, in City Harvest Expo Hall 8, from 2.30 - 5.30pm. Money no Enough 2 was screened!
It was an exciting thing! To have a movie screened at a Church was something I have never experienced! And it was indeed the movie for screening.
I could only say that the atmosphere created by our own church after all the graduation service, the holy spirit still lingers in that area. When the movie started, all was quiet and listened and laugh at all the political and funny jokes spoken throughout the movie. However, it was not all jokes and laughter. There were certain parts in the movie which I believe what makes Jack Neo's movie the best to me. I mean, Royston Tan can do 881 and may have topped the charts. The thing was, Jack Neo also have Box Office records before. Even so, I believe that this movie, Money no Enough 2 is one of the most meaningful, most touching and amazing movie he has ever made.
Filial Piety is getting lesser and lesser in our society. So much so, we are influenced so much by the western culture, we tend to follow it a little too closely. Where kids are honoring to their parents are concern, very little have been doing that due to the technology as well as the change of the generation.
In my opinion, we should merge Western upbringing along with Eastern Upbringing. Western in the affirmation and hugs, Eastern for the Honoring of parents and not Sparring the Rod for the child. If we can balance this lifestyle, we are able to become better parents in future as well as to be filial to our parents who have been our providers, sometimes the bad guys because they want to change us, but one thing is for certain, all of them paid a price, to sacrifice for what they have in order to save us, their children, from their situation. Even if they are hurt inside, they still love us, unconditionally and with no strings attached.
The person who acted the mother of the three brothers in this movie, I really take my hat off to her. She really brought out the emotion, not forgetting 'Huey Ge' who really did very well for this movie. Jack Neo wrote the song which appeared near the end of the movie, which was called, Mother is just a name. It was a very sad song, sung in Hokkien.
Jack Neo, I really take my hat off to you. I'll take off as many hats for you, for being so multi-talented, artsy, classy and indeed making a difference in Singapore through film. He has became one of the reigning ranks of Directors I look up to. The song was what made me tear, just to see the meaning being sung, I really felt for the characters within the story and the emotion behind the song was simply powerful.
After the whole movie, Jack Neo came up along with the cast of the show, and the MingZhu Sisters gave a performance to sing that last song of the movie. Mark Lee was not present there, haiz wasted. After the whole event, I went for the autograph session, get to say some words to Jack Neo and the cast, there was a new girl there called Natalie, she's only 18 but she's really beautiful and tall. Ok maybe its the heels, but I bet if she took it off, she will still be taller than me... Haiz... The life of short legs... Anyway, I really enjoyed myself, get to watch this whole movie event with Jiasin and we manage to catch up with one another.
Overall, I started off the weak, soul recharged and reignited with a new passion. To be in the film arena, my medium being animation. I still do not know how to go about serving God using animation as a medium but I know I will find a way there. I will fulfill my destiny that God has placed in my life. Amen and amen.
