Wednesday, February 16, 2011

First, I haven't greet you all a Happy Valentine's day 2 days ago, so Happy Belated Valentine's Day for who celebrated it, maybe with your boyfriend, family, and friends (:
I didn't do nothing on 14 feb, I have made some chocolates, but in the end, they are all eaten by my brother and dad, hahaha! I failed to make it this time, I bought wrong chocolate bars and when I tried to melt it, it was failed ): but I still prepared some for my boyfriend. I just gave him yesterday, the chocolates tastes good but it's too sweet for him. I was so happy I can give him my homemade chocolate on our first valentine (:

Anyway, I should to watch this movie last night. But sadly the cinema haven't have this movie yet, I want to watch this so badddd! I've watch the trailer and I think this movie is CUTE!
It's a animation movie based on classic story "Romeo And Juliet" by William Shakespeare. Who doesn't know Romeo and Juliet? Even Chinese legend story has different version of romeo and juliete called, "梁山伯与祝英台" (read: Liang ShanBo yi Zhu YingTai) or people call them as a "Butterfly Lovers". I won't tell anything about the history here, but Gnomeo and Juliet has a different vibe for this movie. Gnomeo and Juliet features two garden gnomes in forbidden love. The couple looks to find lasting happiness and avoid tragedy as they are caught in the middle of a feud between blue and red-hatted garden gnomes. (via: WikiPedia).

Gnomeo Montague (James McAvoy) is a blue gnome and the son of the blue gnome leader. He at first wants to get even with his rival, Tybalt, in the red garden for cheating in a race of lawn mowers , but his enmity towards the red garden (with whom the blue gnomes are enemies) fades when he falls in love with a red gnome, Juliet. He is strong-willed, but caring and brave. In the end, he and Juliet are married.

Juliet Capulet (Emily Blunt) a red gnome and one of the main protagonists. She is the daughter of the leader of the red gnomes. At first, she tries to outstrip the blue gnomes by getting a flower on top of a greenhouse, but after falling in love with the blue gnome Gnomeo, she, like Gnomeo, is no longer contemptuous towards the blues. In the end, they are married. She tends to be stubborn and against being delicate, but can really care about her friends and tend to be a hopeless romantic.

thanks wikipedia for the movie summary and characters and also thanks to IMDb for the cute pictures.

Elton John is one of the artist in this movie soundtrack. I'm so inspired by him since I watched "Lion King" when I was kid. He's a great composer, singer and pianist. And surprisingly, he has a duet with Lady Gaga! I'm so curious :D

Well, I was thought I can enjoy this movie on Valentine's day, and I didnt have any chance, hahaha! I guess I have to find a day to watch this movie, really. I am so into romeo and juliet story. Sorry being cheesy, but yeah this is me (;
