Question 1: When do you know you’ve gone over the edge?
Answer : When you somehow manage to guess what ‘terminal illness’ the lead female actress of a Korean Movie is suffering from.
Question 2 : When do you realise the reason behind why your friends(esp fellow females) are embarassed to be caught watching movies with you?
Answer : Whenever a character dies/gets injured/is in pain and you start laughing hysterically.
watched A Millionaire’s First Love on dvd with a friend.
[don't continue reading this segment if you plan on watching the movie]
of course, the girl had some tragic illness. in her case, it was hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. it was very obvious which of the two leads was the one that was going to die by the way she kept clutching at her heart and the numerous hospital admissions. so at one point of the movie i absentmindedly thought to myself that she must be suffering from some form of heart disease and the word cardiomyopathy came into mind.
true enough the doctors revealed to the guy the girl’s diagnosis and i was busy whooping with joy about how i managed to guess it right.
yeah i resisted the urge to laugh when she died cos her death scene wasn’t the long drawn-out kind where everybody sobs for like 10 minutes and her head slumps to one side when she says her last words, takes last breath and dies kinda thing.
also watched Step Up with another friend and this is where Question No.2 comes into play.
[yet again, don't read if you plan on watching the movie yah?]
the main supporting cast consists of these two brothers who are the lead’s “homies”. so the skinny little brother(aptly nicknamed ’skinny’) got shot after he tried to steal some bad-ass gangster’s SUV. the timing was sooo absurdly short can. he steals the car, drives off with it and just within 2 minutes of screen time the fella he stole from manages to catch up and shoot him down.
so he dies rather quickly, leaving his brother and the lead crying like babies over his dead body. this scene set off alot of giggles from me. i think the couple in front of me were mad at me. and the girl in the same row was amazed. and my friend was left wanting to hide her face somewhere.
don’t get me wrong. i’m not one devoid of sympathy. its just that some of the sad scenes in movies are a lil too exaggerated, and its purely fiction so whats there NOT to laugh at?
-ahem-
do remind me to stop laughing when others are visibly distressed by the character’s passing/me laughing too loudly
