have to watch/read!

Some movies I've watched and recommend to watch:

Departures (Japanese movie) - Won Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. It's about a guy who was a cellist, at least until his orchestra disbanded. Then he moved back hometown with his wife to find another job and he finds an advertisement for a job titled "Departures". He thought it was a travel agency, but it's actually a casketing/encoffinment agency. He has to help preprare people who has "departed". Touching movie because he meets different people who come to pay their last respects and learns the art of casketing, which is considered a "dirty" job by some people.

Our School's E.T. (Korean movie) - Korea Film Festival is on at Midvalley's GSC. It's free! The tickets I mean. Go watch go watch! The other Korean movies are probably good too. ;) This one is about a gym teacher who could lose his job because the school has to cut down on gym class time to make way for English and other subjects. Since he loves the students and teaching, he takes up the challenge of becoming an English teacher. He becomes known as the school's E.T.

Both movies are super touching and have a great story to tell! There's funny parts too. Gosh I hope I get to find more movies like these. =)

Oh! I found a beautiful graphic book. It's called 'The Arrival' by Shaun Tan. It's all drawings and pictures and no words, but you can "read" the story just by looking at the pictures. Awesome... xD
