The school life-evergreen days.
When the flowers are at the budding stage, it is the day to explore and express the world. We were conscious about that, at that young age, we knew everything. A horn noise could be heard in front of the home. While his mother rushed ahead of him carrying a lunch bag, he trailed behind with a school backpack that weighed two times as much as she did. Every item was brand new, including the belt, shoes, socks, and outfit. It makes sense that he knew it wouldn't last even a day. He had the idea that he had crossed an ocean and was taking the next step, which was entering the eleventh grade. The principal stood by the gate in place of the watchman, verifying the dress code (such as identification cards, belts, ties, and double-cropped pants) rather than unlocking the gate. Because it was just one day, either the principal was understanding, or the student was acting perfectly. Everyone arrived here with a dream in mind. More people want to study to improve themselves. There is no particular intention here; some people have big dreams in sports, while others want to be renowned in other ways, and yet others want to be married this year. They were traveling in the direction they believed to be the permanent one while doing so. Everyone who arrived prayed to God while looking at the sky before entering the classroom.

Review of 'The Silence that Binds Us'
Maybelline Chen isn’t the Chinese Taiwanese American daughter her mother expects her to be. May prefers hoodies over dresses and wants to become a writer. When asked, her mom can’t come up with one specific reason for why she's proud of her only daughter. May’s beloved brother, Danny, on the other hand, has just been admitted to Princeton. But Danny secretly struggles with depression, and when he dies by suicide, May's world is shattered. In the aftermath, racist accusations are hurled against May's parents for putting too much “pressure” on him. May’s father tells her to keep her head down. Instead, May challenges these ugly stereotypes through her writing. Yet the consequences of speaking out run much deeper than anyone could foresee. Who gets to tell our stories, and who gets silenced? It’s up to May to take back the narrative. Joanna Ho masterfully explores timely themes of mental health, racism, and classism.

Antebellum (2020) Movie Review
The film "Antebellum" attempts to deliver a mind-bending narrative along the lines of a typical M. Night Shyamalan movie, but ends up leaving viewers confused and disoriented. The film is based on a big twist that is partially revealed at the 40-minute mark, followed by a series of third-act revelations. The movie tries to comment on the racial unrest of our current times, but the message at its heart is muddled.

Honest Thief (2020) Movie Review
Liam Neeson is back in action in "Honest Thief," portraying a man with a unique set of abilities that include safecracking and bomb-making. This movie is a simple, no-frills, action-packed adventure that has become a hallmark of Neeson's career in his later years. While these films can be thrilling and gripping, they can also be flimsy and weak. "Honest Thief" falls somewhere in between, providing an average performance with limited opportunities for the supporting cast to showcase their abilities beyond car chases and superficial characterizations. Nonetheless, Neeson's solid and reliable performance at the center, along with a few intriguing details, make the film somewhat satisfying.

Tenet (2020) Movie Review
In the world of cinema, few directors have a distinct style as Christopher Nolan. His films are a culmination of artistry, technical prowess, and storytelling that leave viewers with a lasting impression. The same can be said for his latest film, Tenet, which is no exception to the rule. However, with a film as complex and multi-layered as Tenet, it’s hard to determine if it will stand the test of time. Despite being a cinematic experience of epic proportions, the complexity of the film can make it difficult to fully comprehend.
