Hanna

Dear Diary,

The remaining two discounted TGV movie tickets were utilized to watch Hanna at TGV Sunway Pyramid a few days before Ramadan. Our original plan was to watch Captain America but it was full house except for front row seats. The choices left were Hanna or the latest Senario movie (after eliminating 18-rated films that is). Sorry, obviously my choice would be Hanna. If it were any other Malay movie, I might consider but not Senario flick. Besides, the young man behind the ticket counter said it is suitable for children.

Young. Sweet. Innocent. Deadly. – Tagline for this movie aptly describes the main character, Hanna (played by Saoirse Ronan). Directed by Joe Wright, it is a movie about a teenage girl living a very isolated life and how she faces the brutal outside world. Totally sheltered from the rest of the world since small, she’s trained by her father, Erik (played by Eric Bana), to be independent, able to defend herself (ruthlessly at times!) and alert at all times as there are people after her who want her dead. The villain, Marissa, is played by Cate Blanchett.

The opening act really caught me by surprise. It shocked me because it showed a very young girl hunted and killed a deer heartlessly. I don’t know what went through Imran’s and Zarra’s minds as they watched it. Oh my, how in the world the young man said this film is suitable for children. It's rated PG13 by the way. Lots of explaining was done throughout the movie though! The fighting and killing scenes are merciless. As the story progresses, the audience knows about the twist of Hanna’s birth history and will finally grasp how she behaves and reacts the way she is apart from because her father trained and taught her so. In a way, I pity her because she’s all alone and has to fight for her life at such a tender age and never enjoys a normal childhood.

Phew, I was so relieved all the discounted TGV tickets I bought had been used up. Oops, wait a sec! I received an email from Nuffnang and guess what I got 4 free TGV movie passes. More movies eh huhu…

Ps: Once again, Irfan slept through the whole movie.
