Fathers’ Day Movie Night – Cont’d
Our first attempt at holding an open-air movie screening for Fathers’ Day at Nee Soon Central district last Sunday night was quite a success. Thanks to the trade fair held, there was some human traffic flow.
Most people who came to our movie screening were small size families. On top of people who sat on the chairs provided, there were some crowd gathering around at the courtyard area, watching the movie as well.
We adjusted the pricing of selling our popcorn/candy floss/mineral water bottles accordingly on the spot after knowing the prices of the same items selling at the nearby trade fair.
The candy floss and popcorns sold by us has proven to be quite a hit with the kids.
The story of the chosen movie “Ratatouille” revolves round a rat named Remy, who dreams of doing something different. He wants to become a great chef despite his father’s objections.
A natural-born connoisseur, Remy bears the talent and a keen sense of smell that enables him to whip up delectable dishes easily. However his father constantly reminds him of his place as a rodent, thus Remy finds himself tottering between stretching his imagination to fulfill his dream or resign himself to fate as a pilfering pest.
But as fate would have it, Remy lands himself in Paris, where he finds himself at a restaurant owned by Chef Gusteau, a famous culinary celebrity. A series of bizarre incidents leads to Remy teaming up with Linguini, a never-do-well employee of the restaurant, and together they manage to whip up delicious food that is so palatable it brings tears to a critic’s eyes.
We have chosen this movie to be screened for our Father’s Day Movie Night because it is a big-hearted story that spins a tale of hope and humility. The CGI effects are so cool that it creates a beautiful cityscape of the French capital and transforming rats into adorable creatures. Haha!
We hope everyone have enjoyed themselves at the movie screening last Sunday night.
YEC members such as Alan, Kelvin, Bernard, Xuehuan, Grace, Joyce, May, Chengze, Douglas and Nicholas turned up at the above event.
