Finally I got time to watch Kung Fu Panda. As far as I can recall, final fantasy was the first movie that made me believe that animated movies can be good also. Since then, I have watched a variety of animated movies. Animatrix, Prince of Egypt, Road to El Dorado, Madagascar, Ice Ages, etc. I was kind of beginning to get bored with the new movies. The same old funny character, some humorous dialogs and stuff. No real strong story as such. I have to say I am disappointed in Kung Fu Panda also as far as the story part goes. The animation however has been on steroids these days. They are pumping out one movie after the other and animation part is improving drastically with each new release.
Kung fu panda is no exception. You can see a lot of nicely drawn animated fight sequences in this movie. There is a lot of fast action (obviously) and you won’t be disappointed. The story however, as I said, is not much strong. It is the same old thing, fat boy, hated, wants to be hero, eventually this being a good movie, has to end good. So, you guessed what happens in the end… All well, all good. The story has been chewed so many times that it might beat a chewing gum.
Apart from that, it is very nice. A story about a fat panda (duh) who wants to be a kung fu expert and all. The 5 big guns of Kung Fu are his idols. A mad instructor and over calm wisdom wise man.. whatever. Verdict? 3/5. All for the animation. If you are looking for a descent flick, go watch this one. Don’t have too high expectations though…. humor

No. Don’t worry I am not going to sing the faous single from Celine Dion here. (I might someday… I need to practise on that nice voice of mine), NO this is something else. I was just wondering on my friend’s blog, Kenshin, and I found a nice entry, called Hate Love. It is written by Neil Gaiman. He is one of my favourite authors, though I am not sure I have read these lines before. I am surely getting this book.
“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love”.
- Neil Gaiman
