The Piano

Today sucked eggs! Well, not really, but things happened which resulted to the part where the eggs were rotten and sucky.

I fell down while climbing the stairs, yet again!!! Seriously, I think my feet have a mind of its own. Maybe it's because I climb two steps at a time, and it has become a bad habit. I have this current fear that I might fall whenever there's a step, especially if I'm carrying food. Like, I'm scared that I might slip and fall and the food will be either all over my clothes or some stranger's. Ok Whatever.

Anyway, rented and watched The Piano earlier this week. It is AMAZING!!! One of the best movies I have ever seen. It's about this woman (Holly Hunter aka Mrs Incredible) who brings along her daughter (Anna Paquin aka Rogue) to New Zealand from Scotland because she was gonna marry some New Zealand colonist person she has never met. Kind of like an arranged marriage. So the woman loves her piano more than anything in the world and she's a volunteer mute because she witnessed her dead husband die and decided to go on like, a silent strike. So in the end another man gets the piano and Mrs Mute is angry about the fact that some asshole who doesn't know how to play a piano is getting it. He asks her to teach her lessons and then he proposes to her that they "do things" in exchange for the piano. She's reluctant but agrees, but then falls in love with the oaf. Husband finds out. Husband hits the piano with axe. Piano kind of spoilt. Husband cuts off her thumb. Husband confronts to asshole piano student. Mrs Mute and daughter brought sent back to Scotland via boat. Mrs Mute insists on throwing away piano. They do. Mrs Mute's feet gets caught between the ropes and is dragged down with piano. Eventually frees herself. The End.

Sounds boring, right? Well, you have to watch the movie. But OMG Holly Hunter's acting was amazing!!! Even though she didn't even speak a single word!!! She won an Oscar for it. And the ending was really ambiguous. Like, did she die?
