Movie: Pad Man

One evening, while we were vidcalling, Kapana suggested us to watch a movie and I looked up for it and didn't there's a movie on that.  I've heard about a guy who created pads for his wife and the villagers think he's gone mad and that his wife eventually left him.  That's all.  

Upon learning Akshay Kumar is the lead character, I needed to watch this.  Watching the trailer was exciting enough.

So we watched, and we learned that there's more to it (of course).

This movie is based on the true story but it's not an actual biography; just like I said, it's based on.  They don't use the actual name and I believe it's georaphically different too. 

This is a total eye opening, how a large number of woman in India alone (at that time) don't use sanitary pads.  How can we knw if we never witnessed such movies rite.  

They celebrate the coming of age of a girl's first menstruation but the men, they never talked to and talk about this with their females; be it wives, sisters etc.  It works both ways..the males aren't bothered to deal and educate themselves (and also ignorantly disgustingly disturbed by the topic) and to those women who never talked about this to their males; husbands, sons, and brothers.  A very frustrated moments for me.  Fortunately we live in a community where it's not a total taboo to talk about this.  I can casually say to a new, male colleague that I'm on my period (got asked whether I've performed solat or not so he can take over while I take a break).

Males however still are shy to buy pads from the store but we can understand, I don't mind that as long as they don't think that's a wrongful deed or smthing.  I'd like to think that they're probably think that the store would think it's them that be needing the pads.

hahah. brains r crazy 🤣

Me and sister openly shipping these two.  The lady is a fictional character but it plays a big role.  She's his first customer.  The look on his face when he received "it works as it should.." feedback from her.

“Just pretend to be my date…” She said out of blue and I choked my hot coffee.  She looked at me with her ocean eyes and with nose that crinkled. 

“…Just for the old times sake, you know” she continued.  I raised my eyebrows.  

“Well umm sure, tell me what you need, I guess,” I replied while she tugged my left arm and wrapped hers around it.  I held the cup in the other.  The snow had stopped and this warmed me. 

I could never be him but this was the closest thing I could offer her after the tragic.

Status-status yang baru sahaja dimuat naik aku tak tunggu lama, tak perlu aku menidakkan kemahuan sendiri.  Bukan aku nak buktikan apa-apa dan juga bukan ada yang aku ingin sembunyikan. 

Namun aku lupa, mereka tak suka.  Mungkin, fikir aku mereka sebenarnya tak senang dengan tindakanku ini.  Tak kurang juga dengan mereka yang mampu menzahirkan keseronokan apabila aku memberi respon.  Untuk itu, terima kasih, I wanted to make your day but instead you have made mine. 

“Their energy just don’t match mine,” Aku memuncung.

Aku larikan jemariku pada beberapa nama dan tekan ‘mute’ dan serentak itu paras ‘self care’ aku dinaik taraf.

Birthday: HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRANK ANTHONY IERO

YOU'RE 37

ME AND GERARD LOVE YOU SO MUCH

spoiler alert

tulis x siap lg tp ak publish je la..nnti edit lg 

The name itself is something that caught me and also the fact that Remy Ishak is in it.  My dad kinda a fan of him but never really watches any of his movies.  I don't remember watching the trailer the first time but I guess I got attracted to it since it's a fighting movie, an action genre movie (I fancy comedy action most, so yay).  I wished to watch it in the cinema with family members oh ya this movie kinda released during my dad's birthday so yah but it got dragged on with business cough and other excuses.

My colleague told me about her sister (if not mistaken) said she dislikes this movie since there's no romance element.  Which at first kind of a cringe because people actually look up for that, squint hard what?  Then don't watch it girl!  Don't you see the poster?? It's the main two guys, face to face and some action is going on duhh.   

It's a fast pace movie which is good.  I think it is well written, the script is too.  No grays.  The messages, the comedy elements (it's subtle (it's not) but I had a good laugh), the cinematography, the characters development and I got to tell that I'm impressed with Zul Ariffin's acting, I know him but the truth is I don't really watch him in other movies.  The latest was when he was in the Hantu Kak Limah something, and he plays an Ustaz and in which it's a comedy movie so I don't really think I can judge their acting there (hahha who am I to judge,, eheh a moviegoer?).  I like his casualty in the term of speaking unlike the other *cough (not Remy , the other one) especially the part when he insisted on giving the money and also the scene where the two; Adam and Johan are in the field, telling about his family background.  It's marvelous and it's real.

Bob: ...aku cari kau sampai lubang cacing!

Adam: HAHA kau dengar tu? Kau mana muat, lubang hidung pun tak muat!

The scene in the toilet is the start of their friendship; I guess, I mean Adam makes an attempt to help many times even though his presence is not welcomed by anyone excluding the baby brother; Reza.  Reza sees Adam beyond his mistakes and sins.  He simply asks Adam to accompany him to the mosque and Adam again gets a sign.  Before that we can see Adam sacrifices himself, telling others that he is the one who breaks the wind when he realizes that Johan poops his pants.  This scene is heartfelt and funny and wow that is a big sacrifice.

They por

Adam 

The connection and transition from one scene to another is nice!  The one when Hafiz said "...basically he has no hope..." and then it spans out to a scene, a flashback where Adam was a little boy in a hospital where his mom is bedridden and a doctor just said that she had no chance of surviving and a few more. 

"Kalau kau tak kuat, kau kena pandai,

Kalau kau tak pandai, kena kuatlah"

                                                                 - Adam

Surah AzZumar. Ayat 053. Katakanlah (wahai Muhammad): Wahai hamba-hambaKu yang telah melampaui batas terhadap diri mereka sendiri (dengan perbuatan-perbuatan maksiat), janganlah kamu berputus asa dari rahmat Allah, kerana sesungguhnya Allah mengampunkan segala dosa; sesungguhnya Dialah jua Yang Maha Pengampun, lagi Maha Mengasihani.

The film portrays good 

Reza trusting Adam

Johan too slowly after that.  Johan is willing due to his siblings, to make it less burdeb

I kinda upset when they made Lea, a government nurse making an attempt to steal some jars of medicine for their younger brother.  Also I don't think her character is necessary
