So another week flies by with the look at over 1000 jobs and only a few relevant to the career path I chose and I'm beginning to think, sales executive is going to have to become my new career path OR recruitment executive jobs.
Every website and every place you go to it is the same story, plenty of sales executive jobs!! Loads of recruitment jobs!!! Not to say they're not real jobs but they're really not the career job I'm looking for yet they come up regardless of what you type into search!!!
Oh how fun this has become -.-
Applying for what I am hopeful for but trying to save up for university is becoming a drag and a disappointment. Finding a sponsor is also impossible at the moment making my life rather difficult but I guess that is what you get for picking a career in Film and Television, hopefully this masters can at least boost my abilities and chances to find a job in this recession ridden hell hole.
But along I shall trudge -.-
A few bits on the News this week, the ridiculous amount of news about the use of the poppy...!
There has been odd stories around the UK of people not selling to customers if they wear poppies, or having poppies burnt, etc.
My question is... why? This also included the story that Football players at both the England vs Spain match and the Wales vs Norway match were originally not allowed to wear poppies on their jerseys.
"Oh No!!! We can't have you wearing the poppy!!! How dare you!!!..." (paraphrasing)
What? Are you STUPID!!!! It's a symbol!!!! It's a sign of respect to the dead war heroes of the past!!!
What the hell has it got to do with disrespecting the neutrality of football? If another country want to pay respect to their dead, by all means, why in the name of all that is holy should one be banned from such a thing?!
Anyway, onto movie news! The film this week is...Machine Gun Preacher.
Director Marc Forster does a brilliant job retelling the story of a man who is fighting a battle within himself and for the children of Africa. Based on a true story this film was absolutely heart wrenching, seeing one the manliest of men, Gerard Butler, break down into tears will officially make you feel like you wanna just go up and hug him.
The film has been done to a T with a brilliant cast showing. A film of drama, action as well as a family film... if everyone in your family is over the age of 15...
Women do not worry you will not be the only ones crying as there were plenty of men in the cinema crying when I saw it, though I wish I watched it at the IMAX because it was really worth seeing it there. Not a film for 3D though.
Those who do not like drama and expect some action I would definitely say... not your film.
It portrays a lot of action although the scenes are not as epic as you'd think, as they are mainly symbolic more than entertainment value if Forster was trying to balance the two, it was difficult and don't think he quite got it.
Having watched the film you do feel like what your parents use to say to you is so true (stop complaining! There are starving children in Africa that don't even have a home!) and you end up hating yourself for your own selfishness and materialistic mind... well played mister Forster. In the end you feel the need to donate to charity too.
Although there is a heavy tone of Christianity which some people may find annoying, my little brother and his friends weren't too hot for the film with all the talk of Christianity but it showed the religion in a much brighter light considering what it has always been portrayed as in many films in the past.
All in all a good film, slightly depressing if you focus too much on the negative but you really do have to watch the film and see for yourself, it is almost a film to bring an epiphany.
So I give it an 8.5/10
Anywho, that is all and I shall see you... um... well.. never actually but I shall be back soon with more random crap to talk about! From me Andy Lai... Signing out :D
