Reading Reflection 1

Newspaper Article: Those Stupid Tears, ST, IN Pg 10. 06/02/06

I read with much interest this article because it is on a movie that the school is going to watch together in about a month's time.

I found it interesting that the director Mr Jack Neo actually got members from real street gangs for some of the scenes in the movie. This is something that I did not know and perhaps that's how the show become more realistic. Mr Neo commented that through working with them, he found the members to be people who are basically misunderstood and needed appreciation by people around them.

After reading the article, I feel that I am even more excited about the movie because it will have a message to me, both as a member of the audience, as well as to me personally as a mom and teacher.

Of course, I'm also excited because it is my first movie after 5 'movie-less' years! Must remember to bring tissue paper.
