So, today me and Cristina went to the movies to see HP4. We planned on Aldeota mall-- and for the first time, I was the one who arrived late. But it wasn't my fault. It was the stupid traffic! Anyway, so I ran and ran all the way up to the 3rd floor, which luckily ain't that high and eventually found Cristina-- buying candy, where else?! It turned out that they only had HP4 in "dublado," meaning in Portuguese-- and of course, we don't want that. So Cris concludes that we go and walk over to Del Passeo, which is just a block away, because it has a better chance of having "legendado" (english with subtitles). When we get there, we're forced to see a huge, simply blindlingly glistening Christmas tree in the entrance, and oh, what is that..? Do I hear christmas charols?! My, my, and it's only the beginning of December!
Anyway, so we go up to the cinema area and: yay, there's HP4 in english with subtitles! But then we noticed that the next time would be at 5 o'clock, and the current time was past 3:30. At first we thought that was the end of it, it was just too late. Cristina said her parents would probably let her watch it even though it'd be late, but I called my dad while we sat down, and surprise, surprise-- my dad let me! So we walked around the mall, strolling past the various shops, magazine booths, and who-knows-where-else-- all the while cracking jokes and making sarcastic marks. We even stalked a guy or two to see if he'd just turn around for us to see if he really were as handsome as he seemed from afar. We mostly ended dissapointed... but laughing nonetheless.
We ended up going into the theatre 20 minutes earlier than when the movie started, so we just chatted for the time being until the trailers started. We chatted here and there through the whole movie, sometimes making sarcastic marks, or simply giggling for silly reasons. Exemple: Daniel Radcliffe.
There was this one part, though, where some kids on the lower section started saying "shhhh! shhhhhh!" in a loud voice on purpose. Cristina said "anbody have a hard object to throw?", then eventually somebody close by got fed up and told the "shhhushers" to shut up. Me being the person who couldn't resist, started clapping. Then Cris started clapping, and then everybody started clapping! It was so cool! Heh, and to think I was the one who started it.
But on to the details of the movie. First thing I noticed was that they took a lot of stuff out. Like as in fast-foward, fastforward, and omg! -- fast-foward again! It was least to say annoying, but understandable, since the book does have quite a lot of stuff happening, and it's hard to put all that in a 2 hour movie. So yeah, I'm making that as an exception.
But the general "feel" of the movie was sort of portrayed pretty well. As far as dark-ish atmosphere goes. There was quite a few cool effects, too. But my favorite parts were the parts where me and Cris laughed the most. For exemple, the scene where Cho waves at Harry across the great hall and Harry, in an attempt to grin while drinking his juice, splatters it on himself. The whole room cracked up!
Another would be in Snape's class, where Hermione, Harry, Ron, and the twins are chatting, and Snape hits them over the heads with his book or pushes there heads down with his hands. We were overcome by a fit of giggles.
Oh, and one more! The bath scene with Murtle was quite amusing. Neville's quote: "Oh no! I killed Harry Potter!" was even better, though. XD
Man, what a awesome way to start the vacation.
