MOWGLI: Legend Of The Jungle

Aku ni jarang nak tengok movie pasal animal lover ni sebab emotional sangat, dah macam mak cik mak cik. Mowgli semua orang tahu cerita dia macam mana kan, pasal seorang budak yang dipelihara oleh haiwan dalam hutan, tapi movie ni dah di modify sikit so tak sama sangatlah macam yang kita pernah tengok dulu. Kalau siapa sini pernah ingat, dulu NTV7 pernah tayangkan series Mowgli. Memang setialah aku tunggu nak tengok Mowgli dulu.

Mak bapak Mowgli ni kena serang dengan seekor harimau nama Shere Khan, satu hari Bagheera ni jumpa Mowgli, time ni Mowgli still baby so dia bawak Mowgli ke kawasan serigala. Dah letak Mowgli kt situ, dia menyorok tengok dari jauh, bila ada family serigala ni jumpa Mowgli diorg decide nak jaga Mowgli tapi still kena bergantung pada undi kumpulan, masa mengundi tu tetiba Bagheera datang bagi undi dia, and then tetiba dia cakap Balu pun setuju, and Balu pun macam "eh aku ni beruang bukan serigala so undi aku tak valid" hahaha and Balu pun balas balik "tapi kau ajar anak serigala so undi kau tu laku"

So undi semua berpihak pada Mowgli and diorg pun besarkan Mowgli macam anak sendiri, sampailah satu hari tu Mowgli dikeluarkan dari kumpulan serigala tu dan kawan baik Mowgli, Bhoot tu jenis happy go lucky je character bff Mowgli ni, dia try nak pujuk Mowgli tapi Mowgli pulak naik angin dan marah balik "kita ni bukan special, kita ni pelik.. mak kau saja cakap kau tu special sebab dia tak nak kau kecik hati."

Dan lepas tu, Mowgli terus ke perkampungan orang India dan ada seorang Colonel tu jaga dia, mula tu Mowgli rasa happy sebab dia rasa macam dah jumpa tempat yang dia cari selama ni, a family. And then one night, masa Mowgli hantar colonel tu masuk tidur, Mowgli tengok-tengok barang colonel tu, dia jumpa banyak haiwan yang dah kena awet sampailah dia ternampak kepala anak serigala albino, rupanya itu kawan baik Mowgli.

Time tu aku rasa sedih sangat, nak nangis. Last dia jumpa kawan baik dia, diorg bergaduh dan Mowgli pergi macam tu je. Lepas tu korang nak tahu apa jadi?

Sila tengok sendiri... Malas nak cerita lebih-lebih, nanti aku bagi semua spoilers tak best lah kan, dan kenapa Mowgli disingkirkan dari kumpulan serigala tu pun ada sebabnya kenapa Bagheera buat macam tu. Semua sebab seekor singa bernama Shere Khan..

Netflix: When They See Us

When They See Us is a 4ep series based on a true story about 5 young boys who were wrongly accused on rape and attempted murder, which they didn't do. they were just there at the wrong time and wrong place. the 5 young boys were only there to hang out with their friends when they saw a group of boys are beating another boy and so they left and ran when the police came. but at the same time, local citizens found a severely bloody woman laying on the cold park.

and so the 5 was arrested. Kevin, Raymond, Antron, Yusef and Korey. These 5 boys, they don't know each other, yet they were forced and coercing by the police and the DA to admit to something they didn't do. they were only 14-16 years old at the time and all they think about is to go home.

Yusef and Korey, they are best friend and when police came to arrest Yusef, Korey went with him to accompany him but when Yusef's mom came to fetch him, they forgot about Korey who was asleep at the waiting room, so the detective came and force him to making a written statement. they hit all the boys, making them commit to something they didn't do. even threatened Antron's dad for his past. making Antron's dad to convince his own son to write down the confession statement.. ruining a family.. the corrupt detectives are ruining the family happiness. they became broken later.

Antron and Yusef got on bail, the 5 boys parents got em all a lawyer and fighting for the case. the detective actually found a DNA that can prove that the 5 are innocence but they shove it away to protect their career, bcos they whole nation is watching the news? Can you believe that? Ruining 5 young boys lives just to save their ass? the medias are calling em the central park 5.

even with all the proof was saying that they are not guilty, yet the juries convict that they are indeed guilty. (they probably comes to this decision after they saw the victim, Patricia Meili, but still I feel all this is wrong, if only the DA Lederer didn't hide about the sock and DNA, it eventually comes out at the court ya know, that's why i think it isn't fair and biased).

Kevin, Raymond, Antron and Yusef were sent to juvies cos they're still a minor, while Korey was sent to the prison at Riker's. The 4 spent almost 6 years at the juveniles, 3 of em live a good life but one of em got into drug dealer cos he can't find a decent job. and Korey, he got it so bad. he was beaten and bullied at the Riker's. 

and every time he went to parole's meeting, all they asked him is "did you admit guilty.." and he said no, like hell who would said yes to something they didn't do. back at the court, the DA offered em all a deal, to commit guilty and spend minimum years in juvies and prison but they all said no and wanted to fight even though their lawyers advised em that they might lose the case.

believe it or not, the real rapist got into the same prison with Korey, that was 12 years later, he came and asked Korey if he is religious.. and that's when he admit to the rape and attempted murder to a police officer.. and the rest you know it. and only 14 years later they were all discharged from all the crimes they did and live a normal life. 

the real Kevin, Raymond, Antron, Yusef and Korey

the corrupt detectives, the DA took away the 5 boys childhood, teenage years and ruining their lives, it something that can't be replaced with money, they lived with a bad reputation, had to change their names, lying about their background just to get a decent job.. and I am so happy they finally got their justice and live a good life. they all deserve that.

the worst part is when the female detectives was presenting the case to her colleagues, one of the detectives asked her there is a time gap to go from A to B, the timing wasn't right and she said we can adjust that.. wtf was that??!

watching this series is making me emotional, they were just boys, and all that was taken from em..
