Home - The Movie

(Note: a bit of a spoiler alert here..)

So, a friend of ours who used to go to our international school, Jacelyn, is staying over at my place for a few days. She's also studying in England, but in the North. Anyway, we decided to watch 'Home' yesterday - and it was a really adorable movie!!



For those who watch 'The Big Bang Theory', the actor that plays Sheldon Cooper voices the main character of the movie, 'Oh' (an alien). Rihanna voices the other main character, 'Tip' (a human). Oh and Tip did not get off on a very good start, but after some time, they became good friends. Tip taught Oh about family and friendship, and the value of things that are important to you. In the end, not only did Oh witness the beautiful act of a daughter trying to be reunited with her mother (and vice versa), he had also learnt the importance of not leaving your friend behind. As the Boovs (the alien race) have learnt to run away from..everything, it is not surprising that Oh is used to running away too. However, after he had ran away to save himself, he came back for Tip. With this valuable lesson, Oh has also gained a friend that would not run away and leave him behind as well.

This movie portrays the theme of friendship and family (oh god, my English Literature mindset is surfacing o.0), and I believe that it is so important and precious for people to know about it. Not to say that every teenager is guilty of this, but there are many youngsters that do not truly understand the importance of friendship, or even of their families. Guys, this is important. Value your family - they are the only people that will stick by you no matter what, and will always be by your side! Value your friends - as the ones that you truly care about, and the ones that are your true friends, will be your non-biological family.

And it is safe for me to say that Evon is my non-biological family :)
