Two good movies

Watched two very simple but euphoric movies on both ways forth and back.

Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium
A magical toy store doesn’t mean it is really really great, but it is magical. That is what a mutated human like Henry the accountant cannot see. Could not help stop laughing when I saw Eric asking for a playmate of checker, and Henry replied saying he never stop working. Yeah, that is the real life of an accountant. How ironic the scene is to see Henry working in the office, being ignorant to all kids and toys outside. He looked at no magical rockets and bouncing balls around but only kept asking for vouchers, receipts and BRs. Really a dull man with no childlike attitude. Why picked accountant as the straight man? Everybody knows why. Why accountant is so dull like a humpty dumpty?


Enchanted (only available in Japan on 14 Mar!!)
It is hilarious to see how contrasting the reality and fantasy tales are. There are no innocent prince and princess as Edward and Giselle, but Robert is a real prince with sensation, who introduced an enchanting world to the enchanted Giselle. Who has ever had a fairy –tale thought in this realistic and materialistic world? Only Morgan recognized Giselle as a princess by her first sight, but she is also the one who suggested a better idea than a fairy godmother to Giselle. Kids of nowadays may be stuck in the gap in between and can no longer identify which side, whether ourselves or those princes and princesses in the books, are enchanted.



Affected by the musical “That’s how you know” and the waltz “So Close” and I decided to buy the soundtrack right away.
