I think this blog is starting to turn into an online diary of my rants, thoughts, feelings, and information about every single event in my life. :< Sorry reader. It's probably only gonna get worse from now.

So, so, so disappointed by a play adaptation of my favorite book.

Look, LOTF was a lit text studied in school and all, but it was beautiful.
Using children and a stranded island to show humankind's inherent evil within...

That's just too godly a book for words.
It made me sob.
Okay fine, I cry a lot at stuffs like these.

But it was indeed a really meaningful book, and 'excitement' alone didn't even explain how I felt right before the show started.
When it ended, it had crushed my idealistic painting of what the play should have been like.
It was too fast paced,
Too shouty,
the important quotes did not appear,
the earth-shattering moments were not captured,
the cast weren't good, nor did they react to each other's lines
It was messy at times, and usage of voice, projection, and acting was nowhere near 'good'
Usage of space and ensemble work could have been amazing if done at precious intervals and certain moments, but it was overdone and the entire play just felt like a group of people scraping the surface of an otherwise rich, deep, and creamy soup.
They only skimmed the foam off.
Granted, there was effort I could see, but.

It didn't work.

If I were one who hadn't read the book beforehand, I wouldn't have known what was going on.

The whole thing felt like it was a bunch of people screaming at each other.
No build up, no tension, no emotions to be felt.
I had held out the bunch of heart strings from within, almost begging them to tug and yank at it...
But they didn't.

My soul is so crushed right now.

It's so crushed. :<

Call me an extreme critic if you will, but when it is one of your favorite books,
You just expect something a little more. Okay, a LOT more. Fine. I'll admit it.

I'm so crushed. :'(
They did not do justice to the book at all.
Ugh.

But at least I got to converse with two very warm-hearted people.
I think... I could go so far as call them a 'friend' now. :>
Mm.. It's pretty early for that tho

Oh wait, I had a point.
Right.
At least the conversation gave me insight into them and other people in the club,

And that just about makes up for my depressed soul at the moment.

But all that aside, I'm really looking forward to the hike tomorrow.

Dear Mdm Mosquitoes, my blood may be delicious and I may secretly hate you,
But I'm excited and ready for it all.
The sweat, grumbling, bonding, fun and little moments most definitely will be something I can hold close to my heart forever and ever.

Can't wait! ;)
