Wreck-It-Ralph & Paperman

Just watched Wreck-It-Ralph today and it was not disappointing. During the last scenes in the movie, it bring tears to my eyes. It just touch my heart so much and it doesn't need a handsome hero to make your eyes glue to the screen. 

The story is about the titular arcade game villain of Fix-It Felix, Jr, Ralph who rebels against his role and dreams of becoming a hero. In order for everybody to like him, and to change his destiny, he travels between games in the arcade, to get medal and to prove that he is not a bad guy. First he met, Sergeant Calhoun (who really looks like the voice actor, Jane Lynch aka Coach Sue) in Hero's Duty game, then he manage to get the medal before some thing happen and he was somehow transferred to Sugar Rush game. Here he met Vanellope von Schweetz, a glitchy character who makes off with the medal, planning to use it to buy entry into an after-hours race. King Candy, the leader of the Sugar Rush realm, and the other racers refuse to let Vanellope participate, claiming that she is not really part of the game. Realizing that Vanellope winning a race is the only way he can get his medal back, Ralph helps Vanellope build a kart and teaches her to drive. At her home, Diet Cola Mountain, he discovers that she is a natural racer. Meanwhile, Felix is set to find Ralph because if not, the game will be unplugged and they will be shutdown. So he met Sergeant Calhoun which he fall in love with her. So sweet and funny. So, I need to stop here if not it will spoil somebody who wants to watch the movie. 

I guess the story is about, wanting to do something for yourself and just not accepting your fate just like that, yes, Ralph is a bad guy in the game but that is not all what he is. Yes, he is good in wrecking things but perhaps it is hard to love you job when everybody hates you. But, if you good in wrecking things perhaps you can make it to your advantage, so make it your strength. That is what I learn from the movie.So, although perhaps I was the only adult without children in the cinema but I will still recommended and I give 6.5/10 star.

Before the movie start, there is a short movie title Paperman. It is a black and white movie and it is great. It is a guy meet a girl in the train station and sparks fly and before anything, the girl leave for her train. The guy arrives at work, despondent over the fact that he will never see the woman again. That is, until, he looks out his window and sees the woman at the building across the street. After failing to get her attention by waving his arms, the man uses a stack of contracts to get her attention by turning them into paper airplanes and throwing them into her open window despite repeated warnings from his boss. Unfortunately, his efforts are met with only varying levels of failure. 

But in the end, the guy meet the girl again, how? then you should find out. I try to find it in youtube but no avail. It just a heartwarming and romantic.

Again, the same learning, go get what you want and I will try it this year. I'm going to my dream trip and I can't wait for next year to come. I hope I'm ready.
