Movie at SilverCity
Last night Timmy and I planned to watch Yes Man. He invited two of his best friends and one of their girl friends came too. So the 5 of us watched the movie at 9:45pm. Any Jim Carrey movie can be expected to be filled with jokes, but looking past the jokes, there is always a moral.
Always say yes, and never say no. WRONG. That's not the lesson to be learnt from the movie. If you intend to watch the movie, I'm sorry I'm going to reveal the moral (as well as a brief synopsis) as how I interpret it, but if you're not, then here goes. Carrey's character was depressed from a break up and relied on saying "No" to everything and everyone to avoid getting hurt again from being committed. Being stuck in a rut, he attended a seminar where he accepts being a "Yes Man", saying yes to any opportunity that presents. He took this commitment too far, and finally learnt that it is not about always saying yes or always saying no, but to have a control over your decisions without being extreme.
There! Its pretty meaningful right?
:) Bye for now, check back soon!
