JUST CARS

I'm glad I watched "Cars" on this gloomy day because it definitely cheered me up. It is definitely a feel-good country movie that can never go wrong for those who wants a simple good time.

"Cars" is not lame at all despite a storyline that might have been used before. I mean, how can it be boring when all the characters are cars. Using cars as main character in itself is creative and I love it because the cars are so adorable. It is really interesting to see how human characters are translated through cars.

Why is it a country movie?

Well for one thing the setting itself is I believe in the country side. A small town. Then there is the accompaniment of country music throughout the movie. The entire soundtrack is country. So expect to hear the sounds of Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley and also Sheryl Crow in the movie. Some of these songs I've heard before and I was so surprised that the songs are actually from the movie.

Overall, the story is about finding yourself in the most unexpected places and it's about friendship. Have you ever feel like you discover a whole new you in a whole new place? I've felt that before. Despite the fact that I talk a lot at home and look super happy all the time, I have really low self-esteem beck then in high school. But I guess my college friends really helped me and they also helped me understand myself more. They helped me feel good about myself when I'm down. And when I'm in college, I also discover more friends and I was very happy, just like the lead character Lightning McQueen when he found his friends. 

Unlike McQueen, I do have really close high school friends. But I guess college really opened my eyes to the importance of friends because I've never felt that kind of happiness before. Just like McQueen, I found a place where I belong. But then I also enjoy my family's company. It's just that my college friends provided me a different kind of fun.

Although he misses his race and disliked building roads, McQueen later found happiness happiness in Radiator Spring. For me, I've encountered situations like this where I found something good and special during times of adversities. I always believe that God is nice to me because every time something bad happens, God has provided me the 'silver lining'. I mean of course there are times when I get so pissed and angry but sometimes I'm so glad that I've gone through the things I went through. It is a blessing.

My top 3 characters:

Mater for he is a friend who is always there and the friend who sees something special in you even though you are an a** sometimes. I appreciate that.

Lightning McQueen because he is fun and cute

Doc Hudson, the wise and intelligent one who also have his own flaws and problems
