????? (Hana and Alice)
It's 7pm and it's still as bright as day. It will be 7am and barely a ray of light will be in sight. That would be the closest to a change in seasons Singapore will ever see.
But I digress.
The agenda for today is Hana and Alice. I watched it yet again, and felt in love with the movie one more time. The movie does not have an outstanding story per se, but the stregth lies in the character development, especially that of the two leads, Hana and Alice, and in particular, their friendship.
Hana, the great story teller and actress, weaving those superb fiction with nary a bat of the eye-lid.
And then, there is Tetsuko Arisugawa, also know as Alice. A girl in unfortunate circumstances, yet she remains ever cheerful. Living in a single parent family, being reject time and again at auditions. Alice is so earnest and endearing that I cannot help but like this character.
Watch it if yu can, it's good. Friendship, love, teenage angst, aspirations, dreams and strength of character. You will find it all.
Anyway, some people have complained that I never reveal my birthday. It's the 1st of March, okay? =)
