Must Read . Sleeping Beauty new version

The Sleeping Beauty

"In a far away land, long ago, lived a king and his fair queen. Many years had they longed for a child and finally their wish was granted. A daughter was born, and they called her Aurora. Yes, they named her after the dawn for she filled their lives with sunshine. Then a great holiday was proclaimed throughout the kingdom, so that all of high or low estate might pay homage to the infant princess. And our story begins on that most joyful day."

       The king Stefan and his Queen received their friends, king Namikaze Minato and Queen Rozita Che Wan. They wanted to unite their kingdoms by the marriage of their children, Princess Aurora and Prince Zul Ariffin . The king and the queen also received three good fairies as guests: mistress Ayda Jebat, mistress Emma Maembong, and mistress Siti Nur Haliza. They were supposed to give one gift each one to the newborn princess. Ayda Jebat  gave her beauty, Siti Nur Haliza gave her the gift of song, and when Emma Maembong  was going to do the same, an evil witch called Mona Freddy appeared. Since she was very angry because she had not received any invitation, she said:

 "The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who know her. But, before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday, she shall prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die."

   Everybody was very shocked, but the third fairy had not given her gift yet, so she tried to repair as much as possible the curse of Mona Freddy. The princess would sleep instead of dying, and the spell would be broken with the first true love's kiss to the princess.

   King Stefan, in order to prevent the curse to happen, said that every spinning wheel in the kingdom should be burnt. And so it happened.

  Nevertheless the three good fairies thought that it would not stop Maleficent to accomplish her revenge, and so they planned to raise Aurora in the Academy Fantasia as Siti  Nur Haliza is the headmaster of the place until the age of sixteen, when the curse finished, and then to take the princess to the castle again, with her parents. The king and the queen accepted this plan, but they were heart-broken.

   "Many sad and lonely years passed for king Stefan and his people. But as the time for the princess' sixteenth birthday drew near, the entire kingdom began to rejoice. For everyone knew that as long as Mona Freddy's domain, the forbidden mountains, thundered with her wrath and frustration, her evil prophecy had not yet been fulfilled."

   Meanwhile, in the Academy Fantasia, although Aurora grew up without knowing that she was the daughter of a king and a queen, she was very happy with the three peasants -the fairies- that had raised her.

 

   One day, the three good fairies were planning a party for the princess because her sixteenth birthday was approaching, while Aurora was picking some chillies. And it was then when she met a young man and they fell in love with each other immediately. Aurora said that they would meet at her bungalow in the evening and she came back home.

   When she arrived to the cottage, she told the good fairies about the young man she had just met, and they told her the story of her birth and the curse, as well as her future marriage with Prince Zul Ariffin , what made her cry because she had to get married to someone she did not love.

   That afternoon, Prince Zul Ariffin announced to his father that he had decided to get married to a peasant girl instead of Princess Aurora, -he did not know that they were the same person.

  In the evening, Aurora arrived to the castle for the party, and when she was alone in her new bedroom,...

   "... the fire goes out, and out of a shadow, Mona Freddy shortly appears, then there's only a ball of light visible. Aurora gets up in spell, and starts to walk towards the light . Aurora slowly walks up a staircase . The princess follows the light into a room in the tower, where the light turns into a spinning wheel. Aurora starts to reach towards it with her left hand.  In a flash of light, Aurora touches the spindle with the middle finger. Mona Freddy turns beside, revealing Aurora laying face-down on the floor. ..."

    Mona Freddy murdered a guard and sliced his body into fourteen parts. She put the sliced body in front of the castle . Then, people started to know that Mona Freddy was in the castle.That was  mean that Aurora was in danger.

      The three good fairies placed Aurora on a bed in the tower, and made all the kingdom to sleep until the spell be broken because they did not want the king and the queen to find out that their daughter was under the curse of Mona Freddy. They also wanted that when the princess waked up, she should be accompanied by all the people she knew and loved.

   By some words from the king Namikaze Minato before the slumber, the fairies found out that Prince Zul Ariffin was the young man Aurora met in the forest. They remembered that he was supposed to go to the bungalow that evening, so they went to look for him.

   However, Mona Freddy had just arrived to the bungalow in order to capture the man that could break the spell with the first true love's kiss. And what a surprise for her, that man was Prince Zul Ariffin. She took him to the forbidden mountains, and the good fairies followed them to rescue the prince.

  When Prince Zul Ariffin was tied and Mona Freddy went out of the tower, the fairies helped him to escape and to fight with the evil witch when she discovered that he was not in the tower. Phillip run with a masculine style to the castle of Aurora but the evil witch cast a spell that caused the growth of thick thorny bushes, so the prince had to stop before them.

 "Zul Ariffin stops only shortly.Then , by using his muscular and big biceps ,he starts cutting a way with his sword. Finally, he is through."

   Suddenly, Mona Freddy  transformed herself into a huge dragon and fought with the prince, who won the battle with the help of the three good fairies and a magic sword they gave to him. And then, when the evil witch was finally dead, ...

   "Zul Ariffin and the fairies get inside the castle and up to the tower, where Aurora lies on her bed. Zul Ariffin slowly walks towards her and gives her a faint kiss on her lips. Aurora awakens, sees Zul Ariffin and begins to smile.But she is surprised when she saw Gayatri, the prince’s ex – girlfriend wants to chop her . Luckily , Siti Nur Haliza ,manages to sing the song Asmara Dana that makes she turns into a snail. "

   Then, everyone in the kingdom awakened too, and Princess Aurora and Prince Zul Ariffin appeared arm in arm, walking down the stairs. They both kneed down before the throne and Aurora embraced her mother.

And they lived happily ever after. Then, David Teo gains a lots of money for his successful movie. Last but not least , YOU ARE TRICKED TO WATCH THE MOVIE BECAUSE IT HAS ZUL ARIFFIN AS THE HERO.

                    THE IMITATION GAME

The story is nonlinear, beginning in 1951 as two policemen, Nock and Staehl, investigate the mathematician Alan Turingafter an apparent break-in at his home. Turing's suspicious behaviour and lack of war records triggers Nock's suspicion that he might be a Soviet spy. During his interrogation by Nock, Turing tells of his time working at Bletchley Park.

Attention then switches to 1927, when the young Turing is unhappy and bullied at boarding school. He develops a friendship with Christopher Morcom, who sparks his interest in cryptography, and develops romantic feelings for him. Before Turing can confess his love, Christopher dies unexpectedly from bovine tuberculosis.

When Britain declares war on Germany in 1939, Turing travels to Bletchley Park, where, under the direction of CommanderAlastair Denniston, he joins the cryptography team of Hugh Alexander, John Cairncross, Peter Hilton, Keith Furman, and Charles Richards. The team are trying to break the ciphers created by the Enigma machine, which the Nazis use to provide security for their wireless messages.

Turing is difficult to work with and considers his colleagues inferior; he works alone to design a machine to decipher Enigma. After Denniston refuses to fund construction of the machine, Turing writes to Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who puts him in charge of the team and funds the machine. Turing fires Furman and Richards and places a difficult crossword in newspapers to find replacements. Joan Clarke, a Cambridge graduate, surpasses Turing’s test, but her parents will not allow her to work with the male cryptographers. Turing arranges for her to live and work with the female clerks who intercept the messages and shares his plans with her.

Turing’s machine, which he names Christopher, is constructed but cannot determine the Enigma settings before the Germans reset the Enigma encryption each day. Denniston orders it destroyed and Turing fired, but the other cryptographers threaten to leave if he goes. After Clarke plans to leave on the wishes of her parents, Turing proposes marriage, which she accepts. During their reception, Turing confirms his homosexuality to Cairncross, who warns him to keep it secret. After overhearing a conversation with a clerk about messages she receives, Turing has an epiphany, realising he can program the machine to decode words he already knows exist in certain messages. After he recalibrates the machine, it quickly decodes a message and the cryptographers celebrate; however, Turing realises they cannot act on every decoded message or the Germans will realise Enigma has been broken.

Turing discovers that Cairncross is a Soviet spy. When Turing confronts him, Cairncross argues that the Soviets are allies working for the same goals and threatens to disclose Turing’s homosexuality if his role as an agent is revealed. When the MI6 agent Stewart Menzies appears to threaten Clarke, Turing reveals that Cairncross is a spy. Menzies reveals that he knew this already and planted Cairncross among them in order to leak messages to the Soviets for British benefit. Fearing for her safety, Turing tells Clarke to leave Bletchley Park, revealing that he is homosexual and lying about never having cared for her. After the war, Menzies tells the cryptographers to destroy their work and that they can never see one another again or share what they have done.

In the 1950s Turing is convicted of indecency and, in lieu of a jail sentence, undergoes chemical castration so he can continue his work. Clarke visits him in his home and witnesses his physical and mental deterioration. She reminds him that his work saved lives and uses the phrase Christopher used of Turing and Turing once used of her: "Sometimes it is the people no one imagines anything of, who do the things that no one can imagine."

                             

The Imitation Game is assertive and makes a serious claim as one of the best spy thrillers ever made. There are sub plots that all resonate and never feel forced. This will not only keep your tension level at a fever pitch but could leave you in tears to walk home with. It's a complete realistic view at the spy game that stands as one of the best films of the year and a performance for the ages from Benedict Cumberbatch . A captivating achievement that I'll likely remember for some time.

               THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING

                               

In 1963, Cambridge University astrophysics student Stephen Hawking (Eddie Redmayne) begins a relationship with literature student Jane Wilde (Felicity Jones). Although Stephen excels at mathematics and physics, his friends and professors are concerned over his lack of thesis topic. After Stephen and his professor Dennis Sciama (David Thewlis) attend a lecture on black holes, Stephen speculates that black holes may have been part of the creation of the universe and decides to write his thesis on time.

While pursuing his research, Stephen's muscles begin to fail, eventually causing him to fall and hit his head. He learns he has motor neuron disease; he will be unable to talk, swallow, or move most of his body, and has approximately two years to live. As Stephen becomes reclusive, focusing on his work, Jane confesses her love to him. She tells Stephen's father she intends to stay with Stephen even as his condition worsens. They marry and have a son.

Stephen presents his thesis to the examination board, arguing that a black hole created the universe; they tell him his theory is brilliant. While celebrating with Jane and his friends, Stephen realises he cannot walk and begins using a wheelchair.

After having a second child, a daughter, Stephen develops a theory about the visibility of black holes and becomes a world-renowned physicist. While focusing on the children, Stephen's health and his increasing fame, Jane is unable to work on her own thesis and is frustrated; Stephen tells her he understands if she needs help. She joins the church choir, where she meets widower Jonathan (Charlie Cox). She and Jonathan become close friends, and she employs him as a piano teacher for her son. Jonathan befriends the entire family, helping Stephen with his illness, supporting Jane, and playing with the children.

When Jane gives birth to another son, Stephen's mother asks Jane if the baby is Jonathan's. Jane is appalled; seeing that Jonathan overheard the conversation, when they are alone they admit their feelings for one another. Jonathan stays away from the family, but Stephen visits him, saying that Jane needs him.

While Jane and Jonathan take the children camping, Stephen is invited to a concert in Bordeaux and contracts pneumonia. In hospital, the doctors tell Jane that Stephen needs a tracheotomy, which will leave him unable to speak. She agrees to the surgery.

Stephen learns to use a spelling board and uses it to communicate with Elaine, his new nurse (Maxine Peake). He receives a computer with a built-in voice synthesiser, and uses it to write a book, A Brief History of Time, which becomes an international best-seller.

Stephen tells Jane that he has been invited to America to accept an award and will be taking Elaine with him. Jane and Stephen agree to divorce. Stephen goes to the lecture with Elaine, the two having fallen in love, and Jane and Jonathan reunite. At the lecture, Stephen sees a student drop a pen; he imagines getting up to return it, almost crying at the reminder of how his disease has affected him, and gives an inspiring speech about human endeavour. Stephen invites Jane to meet the Queen with him; they share a happy day together with their children with Stephen saying "Look what we made".

                                   

    I like the most in this movie is the willingness of Jane to take care her sick husband , Stephen Hawking. Jane is the one who give Stephen his spirit to live back . Hence , this scene made me believe that behind a great man , there must be a great woman . If Jane does not care about Stephen , I think Stephen will die eventually. Because of her , Stephen managed to do a research about time under the field of physics. So, I think it is a great movie.
