What Uncle Sha learned

Oh god, please save me from watching this film ever again, it is so depressing for me.

I hate flashbacks of a movie, and from all that walking down memory lane moments, the character wondered if their life would turn out differently if they had made the other decision.

I’m a person of NOW, the current moment, yes I do agree our past helped shaped who we are, we learn from our mistakes, but I don’t live in the past.

As I believe that’s a waste of time questioning and pondering the what-ifs.

So when there’s that many flashbacks scenes in the film, I was just wishing it would be over soon.

Yes indeed the ensemble of cast was brilliant, but the story for me was so boring for me, and the premise is nothing new. Been there, done that.

Basically the main character is living a life of regret and not of her own.

So people, live out the life that you want! Be brave.
