The ratings and the reviews for the movie were excellent and marvel at times. How could a movie, which taken out from a cartoon, could be so nice and excellent? The movie was definitely one of the best and overwhelming than I expected. More than 2 hours in the cinema, I personally think some important skills could be discovered from the movie.
1. Leadership
Optimus Prime was ready to have a face-to-face battle against Megatron, instead of hiding when things had gone extremely wrong.
Comment: This, I believe, is one of key criteria to become an effective leader. Never fear on the worst enemy but persevering until the victory is acclaimed.
2. Teamwork
Key actress (I apologize on unable to remember her name) was driving the truck while bumblebee was gunning down the decepticon (although bumblebee was injured). Soldiers were also in the killing spree against the decepticons although their weapons were not strong and solid for defence.
Comment: Good teamwork works wonderfully under the worst situation. Better heads (in this sense, better and more weapons) definitely will prevail.
3. Sacrifice
Optimus Prime was ready to sacrifice if he had to, in order to save the human beings and autobots, besides dashed Megatron’s wish to create a new army of decepticons.
Comment: “No sacrifice, no victory”.
4. Hidden talent
Bumblebee camouflaged as a car to hide his true identity and talent, only transformed when needed to protect the innocent Sam and other people.
Comment: Offer effective helps and show extraordinary talents when needed rather than being defensive/stay away from any problems when helps are wanted or needed.
5. Courage
Sam showed that winning a person’s heart was not totally by the look of the car (an old Camero, which of course transformed to a new GM Camero), but instead by the courage and bravery.
Comment: Stand firm to the ground with bold decisions and brave enough to conquer the mountain in order to accomplish the tasks. Sky is the limit!
6. Trust
Sam trusted the autobots and befriended with them after knowing their true intentions, instead of supporting and stand on the same line with the decepticons, eventhough his life is at stake/threatened in one point of time.
Comment: Learn to trust can become beneficial to everyone and save lots of unwanted anger and tears.
7. Appreciation
Optimus Prime affirmed his appreciation to other autobots for all the years of going through the battle against decepticons. He also showed a deep gratitude to Sam when he helped the autobots to destroy "all spark" (the cube).
Comment: An excellent and effective leader will appreciate his team and not only take credits to himself."

We just finished a 20 episode TVB series called 最美麗的第七天 (The Most Beautiful Seventh Day). I don't watch a lot of TV but since viewing the first episode on Astro on Demand preview earlier this year at home, I thought I should catch this series when I have the time. The story is mainly about two good looking couples, how they got together, what they went through, etc etc etc. I also love all the other supporting characters, most of them were so funny. Light moments and laughter aside, be prepared to get all teary as well, if you do catch it, especially towards the middle. If you've been watching TVB all your life, you will be able to recognise all the other characters in this series (and fall in love with them all over again hehe). All in all, a great series for me coz I love dramas like these that are focused on family and relationships (with good looking characters and lots funny moments), not the costume and thrillers type hehe. Well, I don't wanna get all addicted but yeah I am already thinking about which series to watch next (my time is precious so I need to be very selective hehe). Augustine absolutely loves watching any series (particularly the costume ones) coz he claims that there is a lot to learn from them, pick up the good stuff and avoid the bad ones yeah.
