    I don't know what happened to me this week?! Don't feel that well and always getting mad so easily. Sometimes I can't even stand myself being like that. I am taking summer courses right now, using computer Microsoft Office XP and English.

    I don't like my computer teacher because I don't understand what the hell is he talking in class. I don't understand the way he speaks English. He always contradicts himself, make no sense.

    However, my English teacher is kind of nice but super strict on class behavīor. He showed as a movie, "ManHattan", is produced by D. Woody Allen in 1979. It is a black and white movie. The relationship between men and women in this movie is very complicated. The protagonist, Isaac, is a 42 year-old man who is dating with a 17 year-old girl called Tracy. His ex-wife turned out to be a lesbian. His friend, Yale, who is married with Emily and had a relationship with another woman called Mary. And it ends up that Isaac likes Mary and dump Tracy. The atmosphere of the whole movie is weird first of all and people seem not sure what they really want. They have many problems but never solve them and keep on creating new problems. Their problems are never ended.

    One scene that shocked me is that when the first time, Yale tells Isaac about Mary's existence, Tracy and Emily are three steps just behind them. I mean, who the hell would do this stupid thing?? In the end of the movie, Emily says that she knows that Yale has another woman a long time ago. But how come she doesn't do anything about it? A wife who allows her husband to have another woman without saying anything? Oh, no!!!

    I find that this movie is amorality because they are taking what they want for themselves and they end up hurting themselves. They know that it's not right but they still do it. For example, Isaac knows that it is not right for a 42 year-old man dating with a 17 year-old girl. He never does anything about it but let it be the way it is. When Isaac slept with Tracy, he thought of Mary which is very immoral.

    The only thing you will see in this movie is that people are always having sex and talks about it. They have nothing to do, but sex. They make women as a figure or an object that you can trade whenever you are tired of it.  Men in this movie are not masculine. They have their little "cat" fight in a classroom.

    Also, this movie shows the upper class of the individuals. They always spend a lot of money but have nothing to worry about. For example, Isaac quits his job without any worry. He can move to a new apartment right after.

    The way it displays in black and white let us easier to see the grey side of the society. Many acts of intimacy shows very clearly by the shape of one's face. For instance, when Isaac and Mary are in the art theater, one can clearly remember that they are so close to kiss but they stop because they have their own problems to deal with, so they choose to hide their feelings of each other.

    Well, I am getting tired now. It has been such a long day. Go to bed now.

    Sweet dreams to everyone!
