Danyl Johnson’s X-Factor audition

Danyl Johnson, the 27-year-old teacher hit the show X Factor last Saturday and now the internet. The X Factor is a British television music talent show contested by aspiring pop singers drawn from public auditions. It is said to be the British counterpart for American Idol. Since his first performance on the show (he performed the famous Beatles’ classic “With a Little Help from My Friends”), the item “Danyl Johnson video” became one of the hottest searched items. And the name Danyl Johnson became famous. On Monday, the official clip on YouTube had registered about 600,000 views since the weekend. Twenty-four hours later, the count had doubled to almost 1.2 million.
In the days since his performance, the British press has been reporting exhaustively on Johnson's personal history, just as it did following Boyle's appearance on "Britain's Got Talent" in April. The 27-year-old is a schoolteacher from Reading, England, who has fallen short in other attempts to make it big as a singer. According to The Daily Mirror, he has been in two boy bands, Upfrunt and Streetlevel, but neither of them ever caught on. The paper also reported that Johnson performed on television with a rock band called Empty Spaces and has auditioned for "X Factor" three times.
Apparently this time the judges were highly impressed and virtually blown away with his superb performance., Cheryl Cole said he is a natural performer and I would take you in my category any day and Simon Cowell gave a standing ovation and said “That was single-handedly the best first audition I have ever heard, He could be one of the best contestants we’ve ever had.” Undoubtedly these are pretty highly comments.
Danyl Johnson quickly shot to frontrunner status, raising questions about whether he'd become the next incarnation of Scottish chanteuse Susan Boyle. Certainly Danyl won the hearts of many audiences and largely recognized as a Susan Boyle-like YouTube sensation, while some people may take a negative opinion towards this. Some people hold the view that he only did the theatrics to take attention away from the fact that his voice wasn't that good. Here is a comment after one of the related posts, Danyl definitely has a powerful voice, but he definitely didn't hit every note. There have been lots of people on "Idol" who would have done just as well with that song. BTW, maybe the writer could have bothered mentioning this was a cover of Joe Cocker's version of the song. (to the author: if somehow you have problem towards this, please leave me a message, I will remove it first time )
Anyway, every person has his preferences.
What’s your opinion? Take a look at the video.

Michael Beasley enter rehab

Former Wildcat stand-out and Miami Heat forward Michael Beasley has reportedly checked himself into a rehab facility. According to Yahoo! Sports reporter Adrian Wojnarowski, Beasley checked into a rehabilitation hospital in Houston. Wojnarowski said the Heat encouraged Beasley to go to the facility to “address possible substance and psychological issues.”
Several disturbing posts had been made on Beasley’s Twitter page over the past days, and could have stemmed from a photo that he posted of himself and his new tattoo. The issue with the photo is the small plastic bag in the background, which many people speculated contained marijuana. His Twitter page was shut down on Saturday night.
The photo is not the only thing you can find in the twitter. According to a cached version of his deleted Twitter profile, Beasley tweeted late Friday: "Feelin like it's not worth livin!!!!!!! I'm done." Four hours later he said: "not feelin this at all!!!!!" It seems that Michael is getting through a depression period. And I hope the rehab can help him to get out of it.
This wouldn’t be Beasley’s first run-in with the drug. He was fined $50,000 last summer at a rookie camp with for being in a room where marijuana was found. Former KU stars Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur were also in the room with him.
While I care about the matter, I talk about it, just because he is a member of my favorite team, not that I am judging him. what if Michael did smoke marijuana, lots of people do, especially NBA players, I don’t think it is a big deal anyway neither did Beasley has any serious substance abuse problems. Under a certain pressure people may well do that.

Come from the Dead Poet Society

It’s so much good about the movie. I have watched the movie for many times, it brings out my tear every time. The moment Neil commit the suicide, the moment Mr. Keating’s leaving and Todd and other classmate stand at the desk and cry out “captain, my captain”, they can really kill me.
Mr. Keating is a feature of instructor, in my opinion, few teachers or parents could deserve the name of instructor, like the other teachers in the school, they follow to the old manner of teaching, they to some extent compel their own sense of worth to the students, and they just cannot understand all the things that the students pursue.
When it comes to the parents, things gets more complicated, it is said that parents are the last people in the world to be blamed. And I have to say, children is the last people in the world to be based on. Parents keep basing on their children to live their own dream. It is terribly unfair for the children, a human must have his own choice of what kind of life he is gonna live and what kind of person he wanna be. Parents consider Children as the last of their life, want them to achieve what themselves can’t do, ignoring if that is what their children pursue for, it is absolutely wrong. Children is a separate entity, they have their own world.
The movie tells mostly about teaching and I felt a lot about this part, but I think the relationships between parents and children are also couldn’t be ignored, because they affect every single person around us. And the movie performs really well in depicting these kinds of relationships.

Cash for Clunker ending

Long expected and high commented, the program cash for clunker is popular among all Americans since last month when it began. It was originally planned to end on November 1, while as it is reported, the program will soon welcomed its ending on the coming Monday, August 24. The US Transportation Department has announced that the program, officially called Car Allowance Rebate System, has nearly exhausted $3 billion in financing and they have no other choice but to end it.
The car dealers have been having a hard time getting refund of the government. They had in all applied for $1.9billon in rebates and there are still unclaimed transactions while just a few dealers have had the refund. The government pointed that there are lots of paper work to do with the applications and there have not been extraordinary delays, while there is doubt that if all the money is put aside for the program. The first $1 billion allocated to the program had run out after less than two weeks. As we know, the process of the program is not smooth at all. It was already being contested due to the clunky bureaucracy, and I am not very optimistic towards the fund.
Finally, although the program would end before we expected, and only run for a couple of weeks, it do contribute to the car industry, General Motors is enjoying a recent sales uptick and is advancing funds to its dealers who is nervous about not receiving the government rebates. Meanwhile, Chrysler had announced it would increase its production.

Megan wants a Millionaire canceled

Megan Wants a Millionaire is a reality television show on VH1 in which Megan Hauserman has seventeen wealthy single men compete for her love. She stated that she wants to become a “Trophy Wife” in a show and then VH1 asks for single men with a net worth of over $1,000,000 to join the new show Megan wants a Millionaire and Megan may choose a lover between them. For me, this kind of show would never interest me, and I don’t like Megan anyway, I think she ruins the rep of blonde by doing such a thing. While, the show is hung up now and the reason is quiet ironic, one of the contestants Ryan Alexander Jenkins, was suspected in murdering his wife. (Now he is fighting for Megan to be his wife, isn’t it ironic!!)
It is reported that h Jenkins was missing since he report his wife, a swim model Jasmine Fiore, missing. Last weekend, jasmine’s dead body is found inside a suitcase that had been tossed into a trash dumpster. And apparently she was strangled to death, which means someone murdered her. As her husband, Jenkins was suspect and his missing right after her missing make things worse.
Now the matter is that Jenkins may very soon find himself in the jail instead of on the TV. And Megan, work hard, blonde!

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

It is said that G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is better than Transformer, one and two add up.
Exactly, not that I am saying Transformer suck, I like the film anyway, while G.I Joe just exceeds that. I didn’t expect so much for the movie, but what present to me now is a movie of precise temple, smart suspense and of cause, all kinds of thrilling visual stimulation.
From the point of Scene Type, G.I Joe is much richer than Transformer. At the very beginning, the army got attack and a Vertical battle came. Then the white ghost and the Baroness sneak on the base of G.I. Joe and begin a Cs war. Then the car racing in Paris and finally the under water duel in camp of the Anti-side.
The four scenes are very classical in the movie. They combine real weapon and inventions of science fiction while it goes really smoothly.
At the same time, the movie perfuses all the characters with rich spirit, they are no longer just battle machines, they are all with stories.
The follow is the plot of the movie.
The film opens in France, in 1641. The Scotsman Klan McCullen has been accused of selling weaponry to both the Scots and French. Rather than being executed for treason, the jury brands his face with a white-hot mask in order to humiliate him. In the near future, weapons expert James McCullen (Christopher Eccleston) has created a nanotechnology-based weapon capable of destroying an entire city. His company MARS sells four warheads to NATO, and the U.S. Army is tasked with delivering the warheads. Duke (Channing Tatum) and Ripcord (Marlon Wayans) are delivering the warheads when they are ambushed by the Baroness (Sienna Miller), who Duke recognized to be his ex-fiancee Ana Lewis. Duke and Ripcord are rescued by Scarlett (Rachel Nichols), Snake Eyes (Ray Park) and Heavy Duty (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje). They take the warheads to The Pit, G.I. Joe's command center in North Africa, and upon arriving rendezvous with General Hawk (Dennis Quaid), the head of the G.I. Joe Team. Hawk takes command of the war-heads and excuses Duke and Ripcord, only to be convinced to have them join his group after Duke reveals that he knows the Baroness.

McCullen is revealed to be using the same nanotechnology to build an army of soldiers with the aid of the Doctor (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), planning on using the warheads to bring panic and bring about a new world order. Using a tracking device, McCullen locates the G.I. Joe base and sends Storm Shadow (Lee Byung-hun) and the Baroness to retrieve the warheads with assistance from Zartan (Arnold Vosloo), inflicting casualties on several G.I. Joe soldiers. After a fight, Storm Shadow and the Baroness retrieve the warheads and take them to Baron DeCobray, the Baroness's husband, for him to weaponize and use them to destroy the Eiffel Tower to serve as a showing of the warhead's destructive power. Making their way to Paris, the Joes pursue them through the streets but are unsuccessful in stopping them from launching the missile. Duke manages to hit the kill switch, but in doing so he is captured and taken to McCullen's base under the Arctic.

G.I. Joe locates the secret base and fly there as McCullen loads three missiles with nano-mite warheads. After Snake Eyes takes out one, Ripcord pursues the remaining missiles in a prototype Night Raven jet while Scarlett and her group infiltrate the base. While Scarlett and Snake Eyes attempt to shut down the Arctic base, with Heavy Duty leading an attack on Cobra's forces, Duke learns that the Doctor is Rex Lewis, Ana's brother believed to have been killed on a mission led by Duke four years ago. He was trapped in a bunker with Doctor Mindbender (Kevin O'Connor), disfigured in the blast which everyone presumed had killed him. The Baroness tries to free Duke but the Doctor reveals he has implanted her with nano-mites which has put her under his control for the past four years, admitting his amazement that she is resisting the programming. Attempting to kill Duke, McCullen ends up being facially burned as he flees with Rex to an escape vessel. Duke and the Baroness pursue him while the Joes fall back when Rex activated the base's self destruct sequence.

Rex then heals McCullen's burned face with nano-mites, encasing it in silver as he christens McCullen "Destro" and assumes the identity of Cobra Commander before they are captured by G.I. Joe soon after. On board the supercarrier USS Flagg, Baroness is placed in protective custody until they can remove the nano-mites from her body. Meanwhile, Zartan, having been earlier operated on by Rex, infiltrates the White House during the missile crisis and assumes the identity of the President of the United States.

Eric Dane, Rebecca Gayheart and Kari Ann Peniche threesome

Last week, Rebecca Gayheart has just passed her 38 birthday and this week she found her unique way into the internet again, together with her husband, Eric Dane and the former Miss Teen USA Kari Ann Peniche. The three are found together in the same tape, naked. It is recognized that it is a threesome sex tape, while the rep of Eric and Rebecca argued that it is no more than a naked film for it didn’t film any sex.
It is reported that the tape came out as part of an official investigation into Peniche’s alleged sex-for-hire business. And the one who leaked it is still on the air.
This is not the first time for Rebecca to be engaged in a scandal, in June, photos were leaked that she and another women naked in the bathtub back in 2003.
I guess these people they never could learn a lesson, with another person they should know that the tape would be leaked someday.
And when the person happened to be Peniche, Beauty-queen-turned-Hollywood-madam Peniche, who was crowned Miss Teen USA in 2002 but was Stripped of her crown for posing for playboy. This lady, she never is an easy kind.
Now on the internet is a censored version, and it’s saying that a smoky film is on the way, anyway, not yet close file for the whole thing.

Ye Yang won the PGA Championship over Tiger Woods

Tiger woods’ magical streak, going 8for 8 winning majors when he led after 36 holes, had to become an end sometime.
It happened anyway, on the passed Sunday at the PGA Championship. The unheralded South Korean YE Yang became the person to lead to this end.
We expected that Woods’ magic would be broken someday; however, we never expect it would be Yang to do this.
There are both unlikely things here. For YE Yang winning a major championship and Tiger Woods losing one when he had a two-stroke lead entering the final round.
I don’t think the odds of the two both happened are good.
Going into Sunday, something like the 70-to-1 odds that Yang himself quoted, basing it on the career PGA Tour victory totals of Woods and himself.
So we can’t help to ask, did yang win the PGA Championship himself or Woods lose it? I am not quiet sure about it. Yang obviously had more belief in himself than his tongue-in-check odds-setting indicated.
Let’s take a look at Yang’s achievement in the career.
YE Yang is a South Korean professional golfer. He plays mainly on the Japan Golf tour, where his has won for tournaments. In 2006 he won the Korea Open, an Asian Tour event, and this victory gained him entry into the HSBC Champions Tournament in November 2006. He won the tournament, beating a strong field including Tiger Woods who was second, while they didn’t have a head-on confrontation. This victory earned him membership of the European Tour and moved him into the top forty of the Official World Golf Rankings. In 2008 he played on the PGA Tour after earning his card through qualifying school. He won his first event on the PGA Tour at the 2009 Honda Classic in his 46th career start in the United States.
Apart from his previous achievement, his performance is absolutely remarkable yesterday.
He is very calm in winning. He seemed playing in the cauldron of the final pairing with Woods.
Woods, on the other hand, didn't look loose. His biggest problem was that it was a day when he just couldn't seem to read the greens. He hit a number of putts that you could tell he felt he struck right, but they didn't break the way expected.
Beyond that, he just looked uncomfortable. On his approach shots from the fairway, he was constantly stepping away, wavering on club selection, tossing grass in the air, and more than once bending down to shoo bugs away from the vicinity of his ball.
You may call it just one of those days. But it was the first of those days Woods has ever experienced when leading a major.
With this win, Yang became the second Korean to win on the PGA Tour along with KJ.Choi.

Colonial bank collapse?

Colonial Bank, a southern regional bank with about $20 billion in deposits is on the verge of failure. In granting a request made by Bank of America to freeze assets worth $1 billion, a federal judge on Thursday said Colonial is “on the brink of collapse” and is suspected of criminal accounting irregularities.
Colonial Bank was one of the primary lenders in the state of Florida during the recent building boom. With many mortgages and lenders depending upon the bank, the fall out would be huge. Colonial Bank has 355 branches throughout five states, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, and Texas.
If Colonial bank does collapse, it would mark the 73rd bank failure this year, and it would also be one of the top 10 bank failures in U.S. history.
It’s important that consumers remember that the FDIC only insures up to $250,000 per person, for each account. Those with greater assets should diversify and make certain not to over extend themselves in one account. Should the bank fail, those insured should expect to receive reimbursement within several days.
While under an age of bank crashed keep happening, keeping money seems risk a lot, I prefer to spend them, anyway, I don’t have much.

Les Paul dead

The most influential guitarist ever---Les Paul died yesterday, at his age of 94. Mr. Paul was a remarkable musician as well as an inventor, He played guitar with leading prewar jazz and pop musicians from Louis Armstrong to Bing Crosby.
In the 1930s he began experimenting with guitar amplification, and by 1941 he had built what was probably the first solid-body electric guitar, although there are other claimants. With his electric guitar and the vocals of his wife, Mary Ford, he used overdubbing, multitasks recording and new electronic effects to create a string of hits in the 1950s.
Mr. Paul’s style encompassed the twang of country music, the harmonic richness of jazz and, later, the bite of rock ’n’ roll. For all his technological impact, though, he remained a down-home performer whose main goal, he often said, was to make people happy and to change the way people saw the guitar.
All along, he refined musical inventions in his workshop. He was an early designer of an electric guitar that had a solid body, and his model managed to reduce sound distortions common to acoustic instruments. He did leave us is famous electric guitar named after him, which can fit the entire requirement above, became one of the favorite guitars of musicians. He actively promoted such guitars for the Gibson company, and the Les Paul line of guitars became commonplace among such musicians as Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend and Jimmy Page.
Les Paul’s devotion to music is more than that, was a visionary, a genius, a pioneer and a legend, far more than I can tell.

Kourtney Kardashian pregnant

Knourtney Kardashia is pregnant, and she has confirmed the news personally on E! News. Isn’t it fantastic? Another hot mama is on the way.
The Keeping up with the Kardashians star, 30 — whose spinoff show with younger sister Khloe, Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, isn’t dishing on who the baby daddy is at the moment though, nor is she saying how far along she is.
This is not the first time for Kourtney to be involved in a baby pregnant thing, she has a maybe pregnant issue before while finally it came out that she wasn’t and she was very happy about it because she hadn’t prepared yet. And this time, she is quiet happy about it and I hope she has prepared. While it seems that no matter how much she did, she may possibly get in panic because the thing you are facing is completely new for her. I want to mention the baby daddy thing again, at this moment, Kourtney do need someone, and the father should be the someone and who is he? Random! And the first guess would be her ex-boyfriend Scott, while we knows exactly anyway. We have to wait.
When asked about their status, Kardashian said: you are going to have to see on the show, referring to Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, which debuts this Sunday. They released that Kourtney will tell us details of her pregnancy on the show for the first time.

Twilight

The movie is a black horse, I have to say, I never expect it could go that long. It came from a best-seller so certainly it would attract a certain amount of people, while it came out that its achievement is more than that.
But it seems the film really deserves the tickets.
This kind of movie, without argument, could easily be recognized by millions of teenage girls. A perfect guy as he is would never happen in the reality. How could you encounter with a guy who own such wisdom at his 17. He’s just like a handsome American straight boy, only no stupid, no obtrusion.
That’s why I said it could easily be recognized by millions of teenage girls. Most of these girls, to same degree, tend to repress their desire. You may like the most perfect guy in the campus while he shows no interest towards you, so maybe he is just a gay. So when you finally meet one, even he is on the screen, you would find yourself in too deep. This movie is rather easily for you to release yourself and enjoy the one, the one you would never meet in reality.
From all the above I didn’t mean the handsome vampire is the only point of the movie, it is more than that, go watching it and maybe we can have a talk about it.

Ashley Greene scandal

Hollywood star scandal, nude photos and video, low issues! Wow, classic!
Twilight star Ashley Greene has nude photo floating around the internet! They hit the net early yesterday. Although many sites have removed the picture as requested by Ashley’s lower, and Perez Hilton, the first person to post the photo, removed it, you can still find them with a bit of digging, some sites are still posting them, both photo and video.
Under an age of all this kind of scandals flowing, why this people just didn’t learn their lessons? Which makes me confused, I guess some people just never learn the hard way. In the age of internet, the most brilliant choice is never taking any nude photos and sex tapes.
This time, we can say Ashley Greene did learn the hard way, while we never know if she did learn the lesson. Ashley Greene, together with the twilight crew just won 11 awards at the 2009 Kids Choice Awards, and she was singled out as Choice Fresh Face Female and called her win “incredible”. While it seems things won’t always be good for one particular person, especially when you are in Hollywood. Hardly did Ashley found her perfect public image, it goes that soon. As the Choice flash face, can she still be a role model despite her nude picture. Well, my saying would never count, the public would judge it. While what we can decide is how it affects our feelings towards Ashley, not what kind of person Ashley is.

Criss Angel, did he die?

Did Criss Angel die? Rumor has it. We don’t have any clearly source to prove Criss’ dead and in mainstream media, neither any not that mainstream media, like B or C-list media. Every related material seems to show that Criss is alive right now.
So, the entire Criss Angel thing is no more than a rumor, than guess?Well, if you have to say that, we did not do that without any reason.
Let’s see what kind of person Criss is, or maybe was, first. I would rather call him an enchanter than just a person because of all his done. I just cannot list all the amazing things about him (if you didn’t know him, search the internet about, you would be astonished.), but one thing is certain, he is capable of what we can’t do, or maybe the entire human can’t. You may think I am a little Personality cult, I am not gonna deny that, yes, I admire him, as a god.
And lately, I mean when the rumor goes. There are wired things. What have to be pointed out first is that Criss is a performer who takes risks all the time, merely every single piece of his magic may cost his life. And the wired things are that Criss is a serial promoter but he seems not as popular as he was. And as that rumor goes, no one comes out to give any clarification.
The entire event is still in the Fog, but we can know soon, if Criss really died in the car crash.

The reader: what you would do?

There are feelings that you just can’t express, such as the feeling towards the movie, the reader.
Hanna’s self-contemptuous: her feeling ill at ease seeing those playing kids during the suburb trip; her tears in the church; her fear to the pan and paper in the court and the awe she showed towards the library in the prison. All these revealed Hanna’s self-humiliation.
While she’s strong enough. She face directly to facts, she never deny what she had done. Her granted and innocent rhetorical question even beated the judge, yes, what you would do? Can you give me a better answer, I am a guard, I do what they told me to, did I have any other choice? No, she didn’t. The judge knew that, he did, while he just ignored it. He, and other people in the court, they wanted to get someone to undertake all the responsible of the guilt of the Nazi, to burden their hatred.
Hanna didn’t deny anything, she couldn’t. She cannot exposure her most humiliating disgrace, even though she had to pay so much for it.
Whose tragedy it is, what should I say, Hanna’s? Or maybe the entire human, we are so narrow to forget or to forgive, how can we disdain Hanna? While how many Hanna it was in War World2? Countless! Why should she bear the entire fault for the history? And how could she bear that?
Again, Hanna is just guard.
And, what you would do?

Cash for Clunker recall

I wrote two posts on the topic “cash for clunker” before, expatiated how I thought about it. In both of them I generally agree with the move, as a solution to the gloom-and-doom car industry and the economic.
While lately, it seems that something happened, not rather unexpected, and it makes me reconsider the project. The Heritage Foundation had hardly announced their prediction that the project, it would be hard for us to afford, and the process of the payment would somehow be out of control. And now it seems that they got it. According to the AP, the “Cash for Clunkers” program is being forced to mark time because of a lack of funds.
It is reported that the Gov would set aside $4Billion to support the program while actually, only $1billion are done.
On my last post (about the topic), I told that about 16 thousand dealers signed to be parts of the plan, and now all this dealers are receiving clunkers only to find themselves get stuck in the cash flow, the refunding is quiet slow-motion and demands much and complicated work, and even, sometimes they are refused to refund because of some rather detail problem, which may be the cause of the slow down of the program. And al this, as I just said, are caused by the insufficient of fund and the sophisticated processes of refunding.

Surprise from Senegal----Akon

Having a musical family birth, Akon shows great talent in music.
Akon was affected by his father, an musician in Jazz, since he was young. When he for the first time listened to Hip-hop, He thought it’s kind of junk music. When he finally find out the temple of Hip-Hop music, he got addicted in it.
After all the achievement he obtained in 2003, he devoted himself on his new album, Konvicted, combining his experience and stories. Later, with the success of Konvicted, he well-known to the world as a sensible and talented singer, and at the same time a creator and a producer.
Akon contact with all kinds of music while he mostly beloved spiritual songs.
During his trip of art, he give us a lot of long-stay songs, among which I love lonely the most. Lonely had the highest clicking rate in the world when it released and it was what made Akon known all around American, even the world.
I considered Akon as a magic and a gift from God, he made mistakes, he lost, but anything happened in his life would became the source of his creation and showed to the world. That why I regard Akon an idol of mine, we are all getting through difficulties and Akon could sign a example for us and motivate us to carry on.

The painted veil


The Music is beautiful, just like the movie, smooth and quiet. A pervasive kind of quiet.
Love the movie, mostly, love the music.
Time is flying though I do not want to say this. Life is changing everyday; it changes you, me and anyone else.
We are aware of it, afraid of it, while we just couldn’t stop it from changing. We are so tiny in front of life.
Time and time again we ask our parents, our friends, our lovers to let us go. Then
what? When they finally let us go we feel scared, disappointed, and tear shows.
I am not going to talk about the tears or the love or the life, anything else. I just want to say something about the movie.

He is an attractive man, at least to me, middle-age, and provide a sense of security.
She is a charming woman, hoping for freedom. Her life is scheduled by her family and for her entire life she wanted to run away from her family.
He fell in love with her at the first sight and she said yes to his proposal though she never loved him because she considered him to be the only path she could get away from her family.
They go to china after their wedding to support the revolution there (he is a bacteriologist). It says that scientists are the most boring group, she thought that he never understood her, she is so youthful and beautiful, she thought she was wasting her time together with him and she could deserve a better life. So it is nothing out of ordinary that she finally had an extra-marital affair. The story goes and she encounter with a married 'experienced man', he attract her attention and then they get together, of cause, secretively.
Truth will come to light sooner or later. They got caught by him in one of the embarrassing trysts.
I know he still loved her, so much that he could hardly survive through this. But finally he did, and handled the matter in a painful way. He knew that the paramour would not leave his wife for her, but she didn’t know that. And finally when she did she had to come to a harder-hit area of malaria. She knew that he was punishing her. At first she felt absolutely disappointed about her life, but as the story goes she saw the greatness of her husband and gradually fell in love with him. The night, after being callously treated, she asked, do you really despise me? His answer was, no, I despise myself. (Why) For allowing myself to love you once. Heart-breaking answer, I though, the words he didn’t told is that I really despise myself for loving you even now. Months went by in the harder-hit area and they got to know each other better and later, the get together once more.
The handle details of the movie is the most laudable part, it can touch you so deeply and lastingly.

Elvis and Anabelle




In "Elvis and Anabelle", every terrible tragedy brings about something equally miraculous. Groomed by her overly ambitious mother (Mary Steenburgen), Anabelle (Blake Lively) is on the road to winning the Miss Texas Rose tiara when she dies tragically during a pageant. Her death lands her on the embalming table of Elvis, an embittered young man whose sense of family duty and love for his ailing father (Joe Mantegna) keep him from following his dreams. His family always keeps him from directing his dreams. When Anabelle is miraculously resurrected on Elvis' embalming table, the two unexpectedly connect and sparks fly between them. With the help of each other and Elvis' father, they discover love, freedom and happiness as the real world and the demons hidden far behind them threaten to force them apart.

This movie handle all the magic things smoothly, it dose not shows any unharmonious as the store goes. The most valuable thing of his movie is that it is a combine of love, responsibility, dreams, relationship between parents and children, and the conflict of all things. These are almost happen to all of us, the most of our life is permeated of the choice of these things. The answers to all these questions tell what kind of person you are. In the movie, it is their love that leads to solution of all the mess in their life while eventually they also have to defeat their own demons to lead to the finally happiness.
Anyway, as the saying goes, tell you and you'll forget. Show you and you may not remember. Try it yourself, and you'll see.
