beautiful boy (2010). directed by shawn ku.


the flight from dubai to kl was dreary. and i couldn't sleep. i read most of the time and took breaks in between, and in this flight, i didn't watch as many movies as i did in the previous flight. my eyes hurt from the flashing lights of the screen which is less than 2 ft away. 

it's a story of parents which i think should be watched by both parents and children. i wondered, would the boy still went on a shooting rampage and killed himself had he known the unbearable pain he is to cause his parents? and parents, living in a difficult marriage, would it be better for them to walk away than to stay unhappily together for the sake of providing a family for kids? the movie asks tough questions like that - and it is for us to judge, bad things happen sometimes for no reason at all, and it doesn't make misery any more easier to deal with had we known the answer.
