简单的旋律，朴实无华的歌词，却能打动人心。

里面的女主角不愧为史上最强最暴力（没有之一）的小萝莉。

尼古拉斯凯奇演的老爹依然是无敌英雄类型的，不幸的是影片没结束自己就挂了，这就是不当主演的结局吧。:P

I’ve seen only one episode of this TV series. I’m surprised that an average person lies 3 times in ten minutes. And it’s amazing how the Doc find people lying — through micro-expressions, which last less than 1/5 sec.

It might have been somehow exaggerated. Still you find it hard to let people trust you whenever you lie to them. And sooner or later people will find out the truth. It’s been a complicated world and we may lie in order to protect ourselves. Other times by lying we sacrifice others to get what we want. No one to blame because it’s human nature.

So by lying we might hurt someone, but I think it’s tolerable. On the one hand, one cannot force someone else to be absolutely honest with him. Everyone has a sense of self-defence. As a matter of fact, we do not gain mutual trust at the very beginning when we first meat each other. At least we’re somewhat reserved for ourselves’ sake. And we even  regularly lie to ourselves, so why expecting anyone to be critically honest? On the other hand, everyone gets his comeuppance. Truths or facts are deemed to appear. We’ll get it in time.

Speaking of honesty, it reminds me of Mark Twain’s words:” If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.” But we do remember a lot, don’t we?

Today I saw the movie The Bucket List directed by Rob Reiner, in which Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman acted as two patients who had been diagnosed with cancer. Knowing their approximate day of dying, they wrote their “bucket list” – the wishes they wanted to realize before kicking the bucket but had not yet been carried out. The list reads:

1. Help a complete stranger for the good.

2. Laugh until I cry.

3. Witness something that is majestic.

4. Sky diving.

5. Kiss the most beautiful girl in the world.

6. Get a tattoo.

7. Drive a Shelby.

Etc.

They went and gave it a shot. They realized most of the wishes on the list.

Then I begin to think, what if I were told to be dying in a couple of months? What will be my bucket list? That is a really tough question. It is said in the movie that 96 percent of people do not want to know their day of dying. But it is a realistic question that everyone may be faced with. So here goes my “bucket list”:

1. Find the most innocent kid in the world and look deep into his eyes.

2. Apologize with all my heart and soul to whom I have ever broken their hearts.

3. Spent a whole day alone, thinking about my whole life.

4. Talk with my family. Tell my childhood memories to my children.

5. Go to the forest and appreciate every creature with gratefulness.

6. Find a place extremely quiet and listen to the sound of silence.

People always talk about what are really important in life. But they seldom pursue them. Everyday we are concerning about how much money we are making, how large out house could be. However, we care little about love for another and our health.

May be it is high time that we settled out finding the essence of life.
