Sorry guys, it’s been some months now since
last time I posted an article. It’s not that I’ve lost interest watching movies, for I’ve changed my
discipline from film to animation and comic, but it’s just I’ve been so busy
drawing, drawing, and drawing. Thus I haven’t watched any film either for
months until yesterday. Bed Time Stories, starring Marlon Brando and David Niven.
The film has very good drama and comedy. Even
my mother laughed at it. The story is really good, how these two guys, Marlon and David, try to oversmart
each other with their tricks and scenarios, but eventually their tricks trapped
themselves in a hard and delicate situation where they have to cover their fake
identity while trying to get a
women’s attention (Ms. Walker, played by Shirley Jones)

I also like the cartoonized way the director make the film. Especially
Brando, the director, Ralph Levy, create a character that seem a little unrealistic, and at a dramatic
moment he seem so exaggerated, making funny faces and weird gesture that people
find on cartoon TV.

However, I must warn that the character, even
though they are attractive, charismatic, interesting, and exciting, they both
are not good people. They bet using human, they lie to get what they want, they
do bad things all the time. I can’t remember they do any good deed during the
film.
Overall, no doubt this is a very good film. I
enjoy my time watching it.
