The Opposite of Female

Last night, I plopped on the couch in front of the tv and watched 2 highly entertaining movies back to back. The first was About A Boy starring Hugh Grant... he's an adorable man. I've always liked him ever since Four Weddings and A Funeral which still ranks high among my favourite romantic comedies of all time. Next was Scent of A Woman starring Al Pacino and Chris O'Donnell. How could I say no to that combo? The brilliant acting by Mr Godfather himself, and the fresh-faced Chris O'Donnell... I've watched this before, actually, and it's one of those movies that deserves repeated watching. The scene at the end when Al Pacino made a passionate speech about integrity was inspiring, to say the least. Great script, too.



Both movie premises revolved around male bonding, though different kinds. In About A Boy, Hugh Grant's character learned more about himself from his friendship with a 10-year-old boy, whereas in Scent of A Woman, Chris O'Donnell's character learned a lot about life from a weekend spent with a blind retired army personnel (Al Pacino). Being a girl, it was very interesting watching these movies, besides the actors themselves, of course... :P

Males. They are a very interesting species. I admire them for certain qualities they possess that females do not... but sometimes I just feel like smacking them! To say that men are from Mars and women are from Venus could be quite an understatement, sometimes. I truly wonder what goes on in the male psyche...

... I'll bet you guys out there wonder the same about us girls too, huh? But funnily enough, though our differences could be the source of frustrations and misunderstandings between the two human sub-species, it is our differences also that make life fun and fascinating.

Males- can't live without 'em, so might as well try getting along with 'em. ;)
