As I mentioned before, Wesly Chan, a super talented guy with his hidden charm, was exactly my cup of tea. After when the new short SHELL release, I was totally amazed by his piece.
SHELL explores this idea through a quiet conversation. If you could look through a window that softened the edge between reality and fiction, what would you want to see? What would you want to remember?
"What if we could remember things we didn't experience?"
Have you ever thought of it?
He is a quiet dreamer and romantic. She is challenging, pragmatic, and realistic. He always had feelings for her but never acted upon them– either because of his insecurities or outside circumstances. In their talk, when she points out his passiveness (again), he finally takes a chance on her. He introduces the notion of “remembering anything” in order to confess his feelings, in his own unique way. He describes something he wished had happened. A memory of both of them that never actually took place. Ultimately, the motivation and inspiration for sharing the peculiar idea is rooted in his hidden feelings for her.
Wes's concept was amazing. He never cease to wow with me with his conceptual ideas. And the cinematography! Absolutely the favorite short of all!
I rather cook korean mee in room by using rice cooker, instead of sharing kitchen, vexing me with question from an ego lady!
I rather wash dirty dishes in toilet with a small little wash basin (although it's a hard work), instead of showing up in kitchen, looking at some I would not even look at one!
I rather at room all day, stare at white roses, instead of stepping out from my room, it would have just been satisfactory!
I rather wash clothes by myself which causes dry skin and itchy hand, instead of sharing washing machine with them!
I rather chit-chat with colleagues outside office under sunny day or hiding in car during rest hour, instead of staying in air-con room, been bossing around when I'm having lunch!
I rather fag away by breaking room's lock, soak through with sweat , instead of taking an offer by a neurotic bossy.
I rather pay for others to install water heater, re-paint over my room even I'm inexperience, carry bulky yet heavy luggage from ground to 3rd floor, hold an unwieldy parcel walk all the way from KK international airport to Miri airport, instead of asking for assistance from that man!
I rather stand quiet even I have the ability to attack the problem, instead of offering my help to someone who stab behind my back like always.
I rather been selfish and childish for not lending him my car when I back Sibu, not borrowing my staff like stationary, instead of been generous to a subservient him and a self-centered her.
