'It's been a long day without you my friend, and I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.'
This line sounds familiar right? It's from the soundtrack of one of the most anticipated movies of this year, Furious 7. (a.k.a Fast & Furious 7) This is a long awaited sequel from the fast and furious franchise featuring Vin Diesel, Dwayne and the late Paul Walker. This movie successfully grabbed the world's attention before the production finished because its leading actor, Paul Walker was tragically passed away in an accident in November , 2013. This news literally breaks all Paul Walker's fans and the franchise fans hearts including me. Fortunately, the movie studio and director did their best to continue the production and finally we're able to see it in theaters now.
Despite that I was busy for exams, I've managed to watch this movie two weeks ago and I feel like it's time update and write down my reviews of this movie. Basically, the movie continued from its predecessor Furious 6 where Dom and his team had done something in New York and caused someone's brother came back for revenge. Thus, they have to cooperate with some organisations in order to prevent their families from being attacked. We all know that this is Paul Walker final on screen appearance after his death. His brothers, Cody Walker and Caleb Walker helped Paul to finish the movie as he was just able to film 85% of it. I started to shed my tears when Brian(Paul Walker's character) called his wife Mia and started to say goodbye. The song played at the back was so sad and so powerful, 'I will return by Skylar Grey'. I couldn't imagine how sad was Jordana (Mia) feeling when she was filming that scene because Paul was already died. We all know that it is not easy to say GOODBYE.
There's a tribute for Paul Walker at the end of the movie. Personally, I think that tribute was absolutely brilliant, beautiful and emotional. Who would have thought director will send off Paul Walker's character in this way.Spoilers alert here. Everyone was expecting Paul's character will be killed or murdered but he didn't. Instead, the director used an emotional way to send off Paul's character by retiring him. His brother helped him to film this scene as he was gone. We can notice that Paul's face is obviously different from the other scenes because it was made up from CGI. It's so sad because he couldn't even film this by himself... To make it sadder, Vin's words to him gave the most powerful impact as he said to Paul, 'No matter where you are, you will always be my brother.' Finally, Paul wore a white shirt and driving a white supra towards the sun which was a signal or a sign that showed he was driving towards somewhere else that's better for him. At the end of the movie, Paul Walker's character was retired and it was farewell for him to his family, Dom, Letty and others. The tribute was amazing and beautiful, I burst out my tears after watching it.
The emotional song , 'See you again' was played during the final scene of the movie.
Paul Walker was one of my favourite actors. I was in shock when I first heard about the tragedy. He was talented, generous and willing to help those who were in troubles. He was also one the celebs that inspired me a lot and became my role model. Unfortunately, god had taken a good man like him back. I've tried so hard in order to get through from the grieves.I'm hoping that Paul will be in a better place where he belongs now. Just like the lyrics in the song ' See You Again', 'every road you take will always lead you home.'
Till now, I still cannot believe that he's gone, RACE IN PARADISE. #FORPAUL

It's been a long time that I didn't update my blog as I was having exams and busy about something else. But, when the moment that I decided to update it again , the first thing came out from my mind is to write something about this movie - Interstellar.
'Interstellar' is a movie directed by one of my all time favourite directior Christopher Nolan. He's one of the most talented person in this world. The film starring Matthew McConaughey , Anne Hathway and more. Basically this movie is about things happened between a father and a daughter.
Cooper , a farmer who used to be an astronaut now working as a farmer due to food shortage. He has been invited by NASA to go for a interstellar journey to discover some new resources or new place for human to live because earth is gonna gone soon. Murph , his daughter didn't want him to go for it as Cooper even not sure when he's coming back. He went to space when his daughter was still young. Then , Cooper and his team reached an unknown planet, the time and gravity on the planet makes a 7 year difference from earth. That means, 1 hour on that planet is about 7 years on earth.
Cooper and his teammates went down to discover it. Something happened and it cost them have to stay few hours on the planet which means few decades gone in earth due to relativity theory. He couldn't even witness his children to grow, marry and more. The moment when he's reading his children's messages from earth when he went back to space station was truly heartbreaking. Cooper's expression explained all. His tears flowed down from his eyes and words couldn't express his thoughts, you have to watch the scene to understand this emotional scene .
In a conclusion, it's one of the best movies that I've ever seen before. I love the plot in the movie. The way that Nolan twisted the story is totally incredible and undeniable amazing. Computer effects in the film also breath-taking. Worm holes, docking , spaceship all looks real and beautiful. Besides, as always, soundtrack in this movie is literally a perfection. Nothing compares to it, it's flawless. It makes the movie to become more intense and perfect. 'Interstellar' has been nominated for few prizes in the upcoming Academy Awards, I truly hope that it can win it because it truly deserve it. 'Interstellar' let me know that many things are not under control and they can happen anytime, anywhere. Changes and choices are not always on our hand, but when time comes, we have to try our best to fully utilize all those 'Chances' on our hand. Yeah, it's not possible, but , it's is NECESSARY.
