Before you start reading this post, may I suggest turning up your volume. And enjoy this masterpiece called “Married Life” by Michael Giacchino. This was probably one of the most inspiring soundtrack from this film. And maybe it was this music that inspired me to write up on this success from Pixar.

I actually wanted to see this movie before it was released, but too bad I never got to see it during the opening weekend due to my hectic schedule. So, I finally got to watch it tonight with @alyssapizarro. Not only did we watched it, we watched it in 3D!!! Don’t think I ever watched something 3D since high school. (Even though our life is pretty much 3D, just not animated) However, there’s a price for everything! And this meant missing my group meeting. But, like Mr.Fredrick son…wouldn’t it be more adventurous to go to the movies than a meeting? Haha. Bad. Bad.

Anyhow, back to the movie. Every time after watching a Pixar film, there’s always something that I tend to get out of its films. Yes, they are humorous. And certainly they do make you laugh. But, there’s always the STORY behind it. And for this one, I guess Pixar did an excellent job at selecting audience. And doesn’t matter if you’re just a kid or an old grandpa…you will not feel left out in this movie! And depending on the age you are…you’ll get different messages. Being a grown-up young adult, I think I stand right in between the old and the young. Well, for those who’ve watched the movie…I think I’m the guys in the suits at the construction site on my phone! Why? Besides that I’m always on the phone, but we tend to neglect the elders.

The main point of the film was really a BIG QUESTION MARK! I can’t really explain it, but when you get to watch it…you’ll understand. IMO…the main point of the movie is “LIFE GOES BY FAST…TREASURE IT! MAKE THE BEST OF LIFE” And I kid you not, life sure travels by fast…in the movie…it was approximately 5 minutes but in real life..well, it’s just as fast. There’s this kinda bitter feeling when you watch the beginning, maybe cause I didn’t expect that they portrayed life so fast, but it was really! Second part, “treasure it”, I think this is more of myself. When something goes by fast, it makes sense to treasure every second of it. And lastly, I think this is what Pixar wanted to portray…MAKE THE BEST OF LIFE! And it didn’t matter if you were a young adventurous or old like holding a cane. It is YOU who chooses what’s best for your LIFE! So, stop living and start DOING!!

My favourite character in the movie: No doubt, Russell (the young fella)

My favourite part of the movie: Of course, Mr.Russell knocks on the door the first time!! Absolutely FUNNY!

For those who haven’t watched UP yet…I totally recommend it! Prepared to be inspired by Pixar. There’s always a life lesson learned. And who knows where ideas could flow…
