I wish I could feel like this cat now. :(
Point aside. Today I'll be talking on, a new movie.
.....
KUNG FU PANDA! (haiya!) haha.
I'm sure many of you out there would already have caught this movie.
Here are some clips for those who haven't anyway. :)
Clip 1
Clip 2
The synopsis for this movie:
A clumsy panda bear becomes an unlikely kung fu hero when a treacherous enemy spreads chaos throughout the countryside in this animated martial arts adventure featuring the voices of Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, and Jackie Chan. On the surface, Po (voice of Black) may look like just another portly panda bear, but beneath his fur he bears the mark of the chosen one. By day, Po works faithfully in his family's noodle shop, but by night he dreams of becoming a true master of the martial arts. Now an ancient prophecy has come to pass, and Po realizes that he is the only one who can save his people from certain destruction. With time running short and malevolent snow leopard Tai Lung (Ian McShane ) closing in, Furious Five legends Tigress (Jolie), Crane (David Cross ), Mantis (Seth Rogen), Viper (Lucy Liu), Monkey (Chan), and their wise sensei, Master Shifu (Hoffman), all draw on their vast knowledge of fighting skills in order to transform a lumbering panda bear into a lethal fighting machine. Now, if the noble Po can master the martial arts and somehow transform his greatest weaknesses into his greatest strengths, he will fulfill his destiny as the hero who saved his people during their darkest hour.
Personally, after watching this movie, the first word that pops up in my mind - CUTE! haha. Don't you think so too?
The movie, as you may already have read from the above synopsis, is about this Panda, named Po, becoming the "Dragon Warrior" by accident, and thus having to train under the Master Shifu. However, Po is not very successful. But becoming trained and turning into the true "Dragon Warrior" becomes an urgent task when Tai Lung, the bad guy in this show escapes from the prison that he was previously kept in.
In the first clip, we can see how Po felt when he was first appointed the Dragon Warrior. He was determined, hopeful and full of zest. But because the Master Shifu did not believe in him, he delayed his training on purpose and did not put his heart into training Po into the Dragon Warrior. But when Tai Lung escapes and is on his way back into the city where they are at, the Master Shifu has no choice but to trust Master Wu Gui, who appointed Po the Dragon Warrior, and try to train Po in the shortest time possible, to fight against Tai Lung.
In the 2nd clip, Master Shifu finally found a way to train Po - by luring him with food. This is as food, is Po's greatest desire and thus he will do anything to get it. The Master Shifu first found out of this when he saw Po getting food from all the cabinets, and decides to test him by telling him that Monkey hides his cookies in one of the top shelves. Po gets to the top shelf, and even manages a perfect split, all in an attempt to get Monkey's cookies. In the end, Po manages to learn master the art of Kung Fu, though very unknowingly.
The message that this film brings about are determination. Determination when Po stayed on no matter how much Master Shifu seemed to deny him his position of the Dragon Warrior. Team Spirit and Group Work, when the 5 gathered together to fight against Tai Lung, in hopes of defeating him. Trust, when Po trusted that Master Shifu would be able to turn him from a regular, noodle-selling panda to the true "Dragon Warrior", and when everyone trusted in the Dragon Warrior to defeat Tai Lung. Hard work, because it would not be possible that Po could defeat Tai Lung if he had not trained hard for it. And last but not least, the idea of having dreams. Po had often dreamt of becoming part of the famous 5, and being a good warrior, and in the end, he managed to achieve his dream.
My verdict? 4 stars out of 5. ;D
Those who haven't watched it, quick go catch it NOW! :D

Po the panda was truly a character that shows his determination to succeed. Although Master Shifu and the other members doubted his capability initially. However,Po eventually showed his worth and capability to defeat Tai Lung in the end through his determination to learn kungfu well.
I thougth this was not a good movie as first but after I watched it I felt it's really worth to see. And it's funny , never thought a movie could be produced in this way
Haha i found this movie rather hilarious and unconventional, in the sense that the climax was summed up by a silly fight between Po the panda and Tai Lung. It did not matter anyway as it was the message of the movie that is more important, which in my opinion is - determination and passion are the essence of success in life. however, one must also depend on some luck as it sometimes works as a catalyst towards success. also, one must not take life so seriously and a person's weakness can become a strength. Just look at Po. He knew he was fat, unfit and immobile. This, however, turned out to be of good use to him, as it gave him the ability to withstand hard knocks. Overall, a a great watch and laugh, especially after having a long day of school. haha!
aya, this movie is really cute, you should go watch it! haha. :)
Po the panda is a persistent, determined and self-centered panda whose personality differs from the rest of the masters Ie: the tiger, monkey etc.
He has a laid back attitude and came to the shrine as a humble panda whom got picked by the master turtle to be the chosen one.
No one would believe he would be there for that long and even though the rest of the kung fu masters, even the master rabbit himself tried to get rid of him. But he persisted and with a strike of luck, the rabbit opened himself and taught the po with an unorthodox method but it worked.
Panda had no powers, he trained himself. Even the sacred scroll has nothing but just a shiny gold surface which showed the holder's reflection. When po finally understood what the scroll meant, it was his self believe that made him realize that he could do the finger hold move and whatever kung fu moves.
There are many learning points that could we could learn from po and one of them is definately self belief.
I like the movie a lot, never laugh so much before in the cinema. Go watch Get smart and You Don't mess with the zohan. Highly recommended ^___^
