Weird. Why do I love them so much?

Have.. emm.. a kind of big fondness of orphan stories.. Truly! To name them, first is Oliver Twist. Then Nobody's Boy (book), then.. Bothcan, and this last one, Hugo.

Why? Me myself don't know well. Can't describe myself. But always, touched by those stories. The integrity they have, the unwanted fate they have to face, the courage and bravery, the feelings they bring, and also the setting--Paris, Europe, those early 1900's ages, vintage things, great European buildings, the dress and the way they behave--always, and never ever failed to catch my eyes! I wonder if someone else is agree with me.

I just watched Hugo, a lil bit too late maybe, but... It was awesome. A little boy is brought to a situation where his father died, left him alone with his, unfortunately, drunken uncle. But thank God, through his uncle, he can live within a place where he can do what he like--fixing, tinkering, doing machines--in a wall to run the clocks, like what he and his father always did. And like all of these orphan stories I've ever known, he comes into a great adventure where at last, he found a family, biologically or not, and have a truly happy endings. It is so heart-touching where all the bravery and integrity he spent now gave him such immeasurable prize. The price is so paid! For me, it is always wonderful.

Oliver Twist, is also a good movie. I wonder if the actor is the same person... Ah, it's Asa Butterfield. It scares me that I always love the act of these young boys, Asa Butterfield, Jeremy Sumpter, Barney Clark, whoaaaa it really scares me! It's not a pathology, isn't it? -___- But of course, not that kind of love! I have admiration for those children who are cute and handsome, but always succeed to bring such sharp sight and innocent face at the same time. They are cool!

About the book, Nobody's Boy is still my favorite book. Botchan too, I haven't read it but now I know it is the kind of book I want to read. Maybe...
