The Opera Populaire

I'm so in lurve with this movie!

Watched it two Saturdays ago at the new Filmgarde cinema in Iluma, the new mall opposite Bugis Junction. The cinema hall was a nice experience, with wider than normal leg space. But beware if you are paying for your ticket by credit card: let's just say that the staff had forgotten to pass them back to more than one customer within a span of two hours.

Back to the movie. Adapted from Charles Dicken's work of The Christmas Carol, the movie playfully spun it to place Matthew McConaughey as the confirmed bachelor who viewed marriage as an institution of doom. A string of his past flings came back one wintry night to awaken his subconscious.

I will divulge no more for the sake of those who have yet to catch the movie. On a personal note, I do think that some men (and also women, of course) need this kind of wake-up call, what with the new rules for dating and modern concept of commitment.
