Father & Cinemas

I don’t like to go to cinemas with my father, let alone take him to one. A few months ago while my brother was here, we took him to see “Bad Boys II,” which was purely action from the beginning to the end, but he complained afterwards. Even when my mothter took him see “The Last Samurai,” he complained that it was boring. I was told that he felt asleep in the middle of it. Yet, it was nominated for an Oscar. You know why I didn’t go??? Because I didn’t wanna hear him complaining…

Whatever he goes to see, he ends up complaining afterwards. The problem is with him, not the movies. Whatever he sees seem boring to him, because he doesn’t understand the plot; specifically, he doesn’t understand enough English to tell what’s going on in the movie. So no matter how packed the movie is with action and special effects, it’s no fun for him, though he says he likes action movies. And he’s the type of a person who can sleep in cinemas even with sounds blasting around him.

Even today, he wanted to come with us, but as soon as I showed him the trailer (of “Taking Lives“), he backed down. Besides, it would just be a waste of money to take him. Even my mother doesn’t wanna take him now.
