Here it is!

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out.
It doesn't matter much to me.

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.

No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right.
That is I think it's not too bad.

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Always know sometimes think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream.
I think a "No" will mean a "Yes," but it's all wrong.
That is I think I disagree.

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Hi !


Beatle Smile to everyone!

Do you know why i love strawberries? I've got lots of reasons why I do. One is that they are very wonderful because they are the first among the hundreds of fruits to grow in spring!Really!

Another is that many people also love them. That despite that fact that they look scary when taken a closer look because strawberries are hairy and they have many yellow seeds around them, people still love this. You know, it can be reflected as that people who love strawberries are nice people because they still love others even if these others are not that good when taken a closer look:) I wish you agree with me, my dear reader!

Another reason, which I think is actually the biggest is that, it is my favorite Beatle Song! It's title actually is Strawberry Fields Forever which you can hear playing right now as you are going through my blog. I really love the The Beatles. The members are, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison.

The Italian Job



A gang of robbers, lead by career criminal Charlie Croker, create the largest traffic jam in Los Angeles history, giving them time to pull off a theft of gold bullion. They get away in their Mini Coopers, which are small enough to drive on sidewalks so they can make a clean get away before the traffic jam clears.
The plan was flawless... the job was executed perfectly... the escape was clean. The only threat mastermind thief Charlie Croker never saw coming was a member of his own crew. After pulling off an amazing gold bullion heist from a heavily guarded palazzo in Venice, Italy, Charlie and his gang -- inside man Steve, computer genius Lyle, wheelman handsome Rob, explosives expert Left-Ear and veteran safecracker John Bridger - can't believe when one of them turns out to be a double-crosser. Enter Stella, a beautiful nerves-of-steel safecracker, who joins Charlie and his former gang when they follow the backstabber to California, where they plan to re-steal the gold by tapping into Los Angeles' traffic control system, manipulating signals and creating one of the biggest traffic jams in LA history. Now the job isn't the payoff, it's about payback. 

The Number 23

What a coincidence!I am talking about the number 23 and this post was published on October 13, which means that 10 + 13 = 23!
    Well anyway, the movie 23 was a bit mind-bothering thing. I mean, what’s with the number 23? Why not 18? Or 26 perhaps? The movie obviously is obsessed with this number. I’m pretty sure that if you will give the same amount of attention that the actor gave to the said number, you can also get obsessed with any other numbers. The evidences such as the house number, the letters in the alphabet, the actor’s initial which is W which is the 23rd in the alphabet and the rest are purely coincidences. Even the jerseys of the 2 boys passing by him didn’t have a number 23, it’s just that they walked side by side and he was just in an angle where he could view it as 23, overlapping each other. It was actually depressing when he began to neglect his role in the family because he was too busy reading the book which talks about the number 23 and a certain guy who is very much like him. Well, that is what he thought.

Swordfish



This movie is the best futuristic technology spy movie I have ever watched. The saying which goes this way “if there’s a way, there’s a will ” was truly proven. The hacking group members have their own personal reasons why they wanted to hack and intrude the Government’s system. Being able to hack the system will reveal thousands of government secrets and huge amount of money, a very huge amount indeed.
 In fact, even if they have different purposes, I can trim down into one word what they really want from the operation. That is no other than “money”. Taking for example the duplicitous and suave Gabriel Shear who wants the money to help finance their raise-the-stakes vengeance war against international terrorism.And then he brings in convicted hacker Stanley Jobson, who only wants tosee his daughter Holly again but can't afford the legal fees, to slice into the government mainframes and get the money. See? When someone is really pushed with his goals and will, you can never imagine what he can do to be able to pursue it.

Untraceable

           

This movie is all about a killer who uses the internet specifically a website called "KILL WITH ME NOW? " to kill his victims. The crime progresses as the number of viewers of this website increases. The twist of this movie is good because people viewing the website are hooked up between the choice of viewing the website to witness the crime or to satisfy their curiosity and the choice of not visiting the website to save the person and let their curiosity kill them. The story is good too because it is somewhat like the movie series of Saw where in the killer user different ways to kill its victims. The only failing part that I can say in this movie is that the ending was somehow dull. What I mean is that I didn’t expect it to end that way. The movie was able to entertain me all the way but on the last part, I felt that the ending was rushed. Supposedly, the ending should give the movie the loudest “thud” among all the rest of the parts to really satisfy its viewers. So I guess this is the only fallback of the movie “Untraceable”.

Girl With The Dragon Tattoo


               This movie has a very good combination of thrill, horror, and most bizarre love story in town. Up to last part, I found myself kept guessing on who the killer really is. Mikael Blomkvist,  a  42 year-old financial journalist and managing editor of Millennium magazine, devoted to exposing financial corruption.  He worked this project given by Dirke Frode, who says he represents Henrik Vanger, patriarch of the Vangers, a wealthy industrial family that owns the Vanger Corporation.  Frode says Henrik wants to hire Blomkvist for something, but he can't say what. Henrik wants Blomkvist to come meet up on remote Hedeby Island because he's too old to travel. When Blomkvist decided to accept Henrik’s offer, the story of whirlwind totality began. It evolved on finding what really happened to Harriet Vanger, Henrik’s favorite great niece. She disappeared 36 years ago. Harriet started giving beautiful pressed folwers to Henrik since she was eight years old. After her disappearance, Henrik continued getting flowers in the mail. He's convinced Harriet was murdered by a family member, here on the island, and that her killer sends the flowers to torment him. And so, Blomkvist was given the task to find out what happened to harriet and who the murdered really is. The next person to come in the story was Lisbeth Salander, a 24 year-olp private invertigator exraordinaire. She definitely gave the story the spice needed to keep the viewers finish the movie.the story was full of twist and relating it now to information technology, the way they can edit old pictures are very helpful to solve the case. At the end, the greatest twist was the one that I did not expect and that is Harriet was alive. The story really is artfully crafted and drafted so that it would entice its viewers as I had been when I watched it.

            Another thing is that, the story used a very significant symbolism. This is the pressed flowers that is loved by Harriet and to which has been sent yearly to Henrik since her disappearance. These pressed flowers can be describe as beauty that is not free. Harriet is a flower that has been maltreated by his father and brother and this is the reason why she escaped home. She hid herself because of fear. Same as Harriet’s feelings, these flowers are kept in a frame with a glass in it so that it would’nt be destroyed. They can only be seen and appreciated, but they cant be touched anymore. And so, I think this is the meaning of this very disturbing symbolism.
