Despicable Me

despicable me - being good is so overrated

caught despicable me this afternoon with wei & lj and it was great! plenty of laughs - the minions are so cute that i want my own little minions too! so are the 3 little girls - margo, edith & agnes! especially agnes who's so adorable - "it's so fluffy i'm gonna die!" and gru himself, though supposedly a villain, is quite the comedian too, saying "light bulb!" whenever he has an idea. the story shows how he changed from someone whose goal in life was to be the world's greatest super-villain to someone who just wants to be a dad and protect his children from harm. the 3 girls taught him many things - of which the most important of all was love and how family members help one another when another is in trouble. it was really quite sad when he was kinda 'forced' to send them away that i teared a little.

agnes - "does this count as annoying?" (and she proceeds to make some noise with her hands on her face and mouth as seen in the picture)

however though, the show's underlying meaning reminds me of UP - where the old man who slowly opened up his heart again and became a better (i.e. friendlier) man after being forced to befriend and spend time with a little boy.

disney pixar's UP that was released last year

it shows the power of kids - how they can change someone, from a cold, unfeeling, despicable person, to someone who's warm, caring and loving. how amazing. i believe that is true, for the love of a child is the most real and the most pure - nothing else in the world matters but you. ^^
