Movie Review - The Wailing

The Wailing (2016) The Wailing is a South Korean production film with horror, thriller and mystery genres. The movie is predominantly to showcase in a center of a policeman who was struggling in seeking what was happening in the village with a lot of supernatural things that have happened in the village. The movie was a success in terms of shooting and shots were taken in the movie. Also, the main adjustments of lighting in terms of editing are most likely can be seen as an achievement in the movie. Besides, in the movie as if for starters - the first scene that I was kinda stoked when the camera took a shot of an establishing shot with mid rage shot of an old man was sitting on a giant rock by the river while fishing. The scenery of the place and the dim lights make the shot better. The scenery of the mountains and river made the shot more solid in the film. Then, a shot was taken with a long shot in a room while the policeman was getting ready to go to work - the usage of li...

Primus Amor

I vividly remember back in the days where I was still learning how to walk and talk with a guidance from an angel, a woman whom I really look into up until now. Sometimes, it may seems cliché and boring to adore someone that is close to you since day one. But that doesn’t mean we can’t adore or in love with someone that is special to us. I still look into in some random situations back in old days where she will hold my hands and taught me how to say ABC, 123 up until I know how to say and walk without any help from a woman whom I still look into. God knows how much I love and would cherish my time with her if I still have the time to do so. The person I’m referring to is my mom, a woman, an angel who I called as mother. Time passed without intention of letting it go, but then it has to come to an end. I still remember back in when I was in kindergarten she would see me during lunch hour and brought me my favourite food and eat with me. My mom would sacrifice her time doing something ...
