the Devil's bounty hunter, Ghost Rider is. watched it with cj ch and joe. the action is so-so, plot is ordinary but the movie still captured my imagination and thoughts. Johnny Blaze(Nicholas Cage) is a professional motorcycle stuntman who made a pact with the Devil in order to prolong his father's life. his father died (due to the devil's plot) and he ran away from his sweetheart (Eva Mendes). 20 odd years later, Johnny is attempting to break the world record by flying over the length of a football pitch on his bike. not only did he make it, he met the long-lost Eva. At the same time, the Devil's child, a demon named Blackheart surfaced in the streets of New York. He wants the world, and nth shall stand in his way, not even his father. Knowing that the time is ripe, the Devil holds Johnny accountable to fulfil the agreement of the pact. Johnny becomes the Devil's most trusted mercenary, the Ghost Rider. his task... to stop Blackheart at all cost. his reward ......... his soul be freed from bondages of the pact. now packed with superhuman strength and the ability to summon ethereal hell fire, the Ghost Rider is the new cool dude in town. setting the streets on fire when he drives pass them and riding the waters on a bike?!?! out of this world. infact he can travel through the worlds. besides the devil, ghost rider is the only few left able to travel between hell and earth. initially the Devil's pawn, but resisted his control in the end. the devil wanted to give johnny his freedom back after he completes the job, but johnny insisted he wants to OWN the curse and use the power against him (devil), he swore to fight injustice in this world. haha summary writing.
I used to be someone who sold his soul to the Devil. When i was still young, i was my dad's personal bounty hunter. my dad had big ambitions for me. at the age of 8, i was handpicked to join the school gymnastic team under a famous chinese coach. when i was primary 3 (9yr old) i was already into intensive training. i still rememebered the day my mom was speaking to the coach about the possibility of entering a combined national youth team. but i didnt enjoy it, training was tough and its even worse when u have to juggle between training and school work. still i persevered on. however, something real bad happened, suddenly i was sick. i had appendicitis, the inflamation of the appendix. training stopped, school stopped. everything was at a stand still for me, but not for the rest of the school. they were preparing hard for streaming while im rotting away in the hospital. 2 weeks and im out of the hospital, not only was I out of the hospital, i was out of the combined team in a coouple of weeks time. my hospital trip meant that i was unfit to compete. the worst came, another sickness, this time its an implications to my intestines. docs found out that my intestines were sticking together due to implications from the previous operation. omg. out for another 2 months, no training, bed ridden. after i made my full recovery, i had gained some major weight. this time im not only out of the combined team, i was frozen out of the gym team already. im down and out.. didnt do as well for my streaming either, my world fell apart. then come primary 5. thats when my dad comes into the picture. his a badminton enthusiast, he wanted me to play for the national team sooo badly that sent me to train under a national player for $50 an hr!! im under intensive training again. hated it. i trained against my will, i was forced into playing something i didnt enjoy and fulfilling my dad's ambitions was not what i wanted to do. but undeniably, i grew strong. led my class to the badminton championship, being the only team to win it without a school team player ( i wasnt in the team at that time). soon after the championship, i was invited to join the badminton team. tat was when i grew proud. i excelled in both studies and sports. still remembered how i scored a last second three pointer tat won the basketball championship. and soon i was in the basketball team too.. everything went on well for me. i scored a 264 for prelims and was aiming for a place in Chinese high. but sadly, my psle wasnt as good as expected, though still topped the class, i managed only a 238. off i go to SJI. basically i sold my childhood in turn to win more medals and better grades.
at SJI i learnt how to speak a new language. Football. tats when i found the love of my life.. the game that captivated my soul. the beautiful game. i wanted to prove to my dad that i can excel at a sport that i like. not exactly what he wanted me to be.
