so, this is the review of something new

 

Something New is a 2006 American romantic drama film directed by Sanaa Hamri. The screenplay by Kriss Turner focuses on interracial relationships and traditional African American family values and social customs.

Kenya McQueen (Sanaa Lathan) is a successful, single African American woman who has sacrificed romance in order to pursue a career as a corporate finance manager. Her obsessive compulsive desire for perfection and control has manifested itself in the bland, monochromatic decor of her new home and the rigid rules she follows in her personal life. Urged to loosen up by her friends, Kenya accepts a blind date with landscape architect Brian Kelly (Simon Baker) arranged by her co-worker Leah Cahan (Katharine Towne), who is in the process of planning the kind of wedding Kenya wants herself. The two meet at Starbucks, and she is disturbed to discover Brian is white, so she quickly excuses herself and leaves.

The two unexpectedly meet again at a party at Leah's parents' home, where Brian landscaped the grounds. Impressed with his work, Kenya decides to hire him to renovate her unkempt backyard garden. As time passes, their employer-employee relationship evolves into a friendship and then love.

Although Brian is helping her feel more comfortable about her living environment, Kenya finds it difficult to dismiss her reservations about their romance. The opinions of her girlfriends Cheryl (Wendy Raquel Robinson), Nedra (Taraji P. Henson), and Suzette (Golden Brooks), her upper class parents Joyce (Alfre Woodard) and Edmond (Earl Billings), and her womanizing younger brother Nelson (Donald Faison) begin to have a deleterious effect and Brian's unwillingness to discuss issues of color drives them apart.

Nelson introduces his sister to someone she views as a more acceptable suitor, tax attorney Mark Harper (Blair Underwood), who has just relocated to Los Angeles. The two begin to date, and while Joyce thoroughly approves, Edmond senses his daughter is not as happy as she was with Brian. Everything Kenya thought she wanted suddenly seems immaterial, and nothing Mark does ignites a spark between them. When the dissonance she’s developed finally overwhelms her, Kenya chooses to reunite with Brian, no longer allowing her controlling nature and social norms to dictate matters of the heart.

Kenya marries Brian amongst their closest friends and loved ones.

review yang paling aku suka daripada Manohla Dargis (New York Time)

"a pleasantly diverting romance . . . [in which] the chemistry between the leads is as unmistakable as the setup is contrived . . . The lovely Ms. Lathan . . . and the similarly attractive Mr. Baker . . . don't just look good together; they feel right in sync. Their easy, sensual rapport partly owes something to the generally sure hand of the film's director, Sanaa Hamri, making a fine feature debut, and something else, something indefinable, to the delectable mysteries of two bodies in cinematic motion

movie ni meresap dalam jiwa hehehehe

sungguh

cubalah tonton

sebenarnya kenya dengan brian ni blind date kat starbuks

leah, kawan kenya yang aturkan

tapi kenya taknak lepas jumpa brian sebab brian berkulit putih

 

meh layan gambar pulak

 

ni masa hari perkahwinan Kenya & Brian

Finally

i love this scene

so intimate

plus, diorang kahwin kat kawasan belakang rumah kenya di mana Brian bertanggungjawab sebagai Lanskap Arkitek 

 

romantik kan kan kan

 

ni masa Brian mula2 ajak kenya kelaur

diorang pergi hiking

pastu hujan

pastu feeling boost hehehe

masa ni rambut kenya lurus

tp balik dr hiking ni depa ehem2 pastu brian tegur ttg rambut

 

senyuman

 

scene last sebelum diorang kahwin

masa ni semua black

brian sorang je white

tapi dia mmg sayangkan kenya

orang lain semua pandang diorang and feel their love

lovely scene

 

melting with his sweetest smile

 masa ni kenya nk tukar warna cat rumah

sebab brian inspire dia untuk show her tru self via color

mak kenya dok indoctrine dia yang warna2 terang ni hanya untuk pelacur dan kanak2

it keeps in kenya's mind all the time

but Brian changed her mind

sweet sangat masa ni

 

masa ni brian teman kenya keluar pergi kelab Black

walter, bf cheryl bff kenya suspicious dengan brian

walter siap warning brian lagi

tapi brian cool

 

ni masa kenya buang rambut lurus yang dia jahit

konon2 tak nak nampak curl tu

brian tegur ttg rambut masa depa romantic scene ekekeke

tapi kenya marah sangat sebab dia rasa brian ni asyik nak tanya mcm2

but finally she found out that brian is always right

kenapa nk berpura2

brian  " aku dah agak dah"

Kenya "agak apa"

brian ''kamu memang cantik dengan rambut asli"

sweet kan 

pastu scene romantic masa brian pakaikan warna kuku kat kaki kenya

kenya ni mcm rigid sgt dengan rules hidup dia

rumah kena cat warna kuning air

rambut kena panjang lurus

weekend kena pakai smart/suit

which is so contradict with brian

kat situlah equilibrium point diorang

ouchhhh

 

ni masa kat rumah parent kenya

lelaki ni mentor si nelson, adik lelaki kenya

mak kenya mmg prefer black as her partner

tapi masa ni ayah kenya yang sgt2 sporting tu dah dpt agak yang kenya tak gembira

macama dia gembira & bahagia masa dengan brian

family kenya dh jumpa brian masa kenya host housewarming lps brian siapkan landskap rumah kenya

ayah kenya memang idaman ramai anak2 gadis untuk punya ayah spt itu

tak pernah meletakkan warna kulit sbg asas kebahagiaan

black ni ada black tax..

so semua xsuka brian

tapi brian baik

keikhlasan dia dapat dirasai

ecehhhh

hehehehe

 

brian brian brian

banyak dialog yang boleh jadikan pengajaran dalam movie ni

yang penting kita kena berlapang dada menerima perbezaan kerna perbezaan itu bukan kelemahan

kasih sayang dan keikhlasan brian menerima kenya despite the sinical perceptions from sorrounding really insipre me

accept your partner as he/she is

understand your partner

 one more thing, masa part last kenya cari brian kat nursery bunga tu

kenya cakap dia nk habiskan seluruh hidup dia dengan brian

tapi brian tak nak sb dia kata dia tak nak jadi pilihan kedua

kenya kata, dengan brian dia boleh jadi diri sendiri

dengan brian dia boleh buat something new

dengan brian is always something new

touching sangat tau

sebab itu adalah kepercayaan cinta aku

kenapa?

sebab apa kita perlu jadi orang lain

kalau betul2 dia sukakan aku

dia takkan paksa aku jadi orang lain

kenapa perlu jadi orang lain kan

kita jadi diri kita sendiri sudah

asalkan masih berpaksikan Islam, ada Melayu

cuma kalau nak berubah pun biarlah kepada perkara2 yang lebih baik

bukan menukar jati diri orang tu

kalau dia malas (mcm aku) mungkin blh buat kerja rumah sama2

so aku boleh berubah jadi rajin

kalau aku suka cakap kuat2, mungkin blh educate untuk cakap with medium tone

something new like this la

 

kenya pun berjaya jadi rakan kongsi syarikat yang dia kerja sb dia firm and details

walaupun dia rasa susah sb mcm terpaksa bsaing dengan white

tapi bos dia pun xpandang warna kulit

tu la yang paling penting

i don't think black tax exist but somehow people keep get you insane with wrong words

it might exit is someway but if we do accept each other, 

we may be as happy as kenya & brian

trust me

trust your instinct

sebab review aku ni aku type dulu baru aku baca review daripada wikipedia tu

almost the same

hahahha

so proud with myself

boleh buat move review
