Les Misérables - you might hate musicals but you will love this movie





Les Misérables the movie finally arrived Australia on 26th Dec, 2012. I have waited long enough for this movie to be filmed. Les Misérables has been my second favourite musicals of all time since I was in high school. I watched the stage version on...probably 2007 in London.


Its music is striking and the story so touching yet humorous at some point. The stage version never been put on DVD, there are only the Les Misérables concert where the performers stand in front of a mic a sing out the lines with no background settings, no movement, no acting. I love the 10th anniversary version and wish wish wish there will be a stage version on DVD someday with the dream cast - Colm Wilkinson as Valjean, Philip Quast  as Javert and Lea Salonga as Eponine. But I think they are all too old now to perform haha....nevermind, a film version is just what I'm waiting for too.

First looking at the cast list - Hugh Jackman as Valjean!? My first reaction was what!? Isn't he the wolf-man waving his claws around and biting people? Now he is the heroic, sophisticated Valijean!? I just could not believe it at the first place, I seriously thought Rusell Crowe is acting Valijean. Rusell Crowe is Javert, hmm, alright, nothing to complain of. Anne Hathaway as Fantine, NOW I am expecting something. Amanda Seyfried as Cossett, according to her performance in Mama Mia, I believe she will do a good job here and she just looks perfect to be Cossett. Eddie Redmayne as Maruis, not sure since I don't know him and I am just not a fan of Maruis so, I'm okay with anyone to act it. Another very important characters are Mr. and Mrs. Thenardier! They are the salt and pepper of Les Mis! I wouldn' t doubt that Sacha and Helena would do a lousy job here. 


Alright, so on 26th, I stepped into the Event Cinema in Sydney, excitedly holding 2 tickets that I have pre-booked almost a month ago, feeling like unwrapping a present on boxing day! When the first overture starts, my heart leaps, I feel like meeting an old friend again. The movie was very long, but I didn't feel like it. The story floated beautifully however, I could expect a little more details in between for those who never read the book or watched the musical. 3 hours passed in a flash, audiences clapped when it ends which was very unusual. I left the cinema feeling stroked, touched and I don't know...relieved. The movie surely did not film in a traditional way, the director uses lots of long shots and close-ups to capture the character emotions. And it worked! It was breathtaking when the actors are singing, it was a big thumb up for all the actors and actresses completing the song in just 1 take. It is a magical way to film this movie. However, sometimes the angle might in a weird position, for example the shot when Eddie sings his grief to his dead friend, the angle shooting Eddie's face was a bit strange. Suddenly it distracts me from grieving together with him. 


The first half of the movie can seems a bit rush, but it also gives no room for unnecessary plot. 


OKAY, now, Hugh Jackman singing, I used to doubt his voice. However, time proves me wrong, no, Hugh Jackman proves me wrong. If I only have to praised one person in the film, Hugh Jackman will be it. His voice is brilliant for singing Valijean, I had no idea he could sing like that, he just blown me away with his "acting voice". His version of Bring him home would be another classic, it is not perfect, but it delivers the emotions very well. 


Rusell Crowe as Javert seems OKAY to me, I like his acting as I always do. However, his singing is just terrible...He looks nervous while he is singing, I can imagine he thinking "OH no! What is the next note?" or "come on, I am Rusell Crowe, I cannot lose in a musical!" But nonetheless, I still love him. Despite of his singing, his acting was great, the way he acts Javert worked well to express the reserved, rightfulness character of his. 


Anne Hathaway sang I dream a dream well, perhaps very very well. Her version can easily be my favourite. I didn't like it at first when I heard it in the trailer, but in the movie, she sings and I see her face. Then everything makes sense. This is the emotions that I dream a dream needs to express, desperateness and fragility. Well done Anne.


Amanda Seyfried has an amazing voice and she is just the perfect actress to be Cossett. She can consider to be a part-time musical singer. :D


Eddie Redmayne gave me surprises, I thought he IS a singer. He sang so well just like a professional. 


I enjoyed every bit of the movie, the music, the singing, the settings. They all worked beautifully with each other and I have to give credits to Tom Hooper. He is a genius to record the sound live while they're acting, it surely gives their singing a lot more depth and emotions in it. And with all the close-ups, long shots, all the actors' emotions feel so real to me. I would rate this movie 8/10 and it easily becomes my best movie in 2012. I just need to wait and see if Life of Pi can beat it or not. :P

Delicious [Pavlova]!

For weather this hot lately, I reckoned a light, airy pavlova would be a good choice for dessert! 
I have made this dessert with a friend before and I LOVE the recipe. Crispy on the outside and soft like marshmallow in the inside. It uses yogurt for the filling instead of cream which even lights up the pavlova more. The yogurt is a prefect match with sweet strawberries. :) ok, lets start!

For the meringue:

Egg Whites x [ 4 ]
Granulated sugar x [ 1 cup ]
Cornstarch x [ 1tp ]
Vanilla extract x [ 1 & 1/2 tp ]
White vinegar x [ a little ]

For the filling:

Mascarpone Cheese x [ 1&1/4 cup (250g) ]
Plain Tangy Yogurt/Greek yogurt x [ 1/2 cup (120g) ]
Vanilla extract x [ a little ]

Preheat the oven to 270°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Trace a 9" circle on the parchment. (If you are making mini-pavlovas, drinking glass can be used as guide.) Flip the parchment over. Mix the sugar and cornstarch together in a small bowl. 

Make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are very clean with no residual fat or grease, definitely no moisture.  Pour the egg whites in to the bowl and begin beating at low speed. Gradually increase the speed to medium.When the egg whites have reached soft peak, begin adding the sugar little at a time, waiting a few seconds between each addition. While doing this, gradually increase the speed so that you are at maximum speed once all the sugar has been added.

Keep whipping until the meringue reaches stiff peaks. Stop the mixer and sprinkle the vanilla and vinegar over the meringue. Beat for a while longer to blend everything completely.Use a spatula to scrape all the meringue onto the parchment in the center of the circle. Working from the inside out, spread the meringue to fill the circle. Smooth the sides if desired or leave it in billowy lumps.

Turn the oven to 230°F, place the meringue into the lower track and hopefully the heat comes from below. Bake it for until 60 minutes, check if the surface hardens. When the crust looks brown and sounds hollow when you tap on it, it is done.



So, now the filling. Simply mix the yogurt and mascarpone cheese together. Add a few drops of vanilla extract then you're ready to spread it on top of your crust. Of course, you only do that when you're serving it. Me and my friend put the filling on top of the crust way too early, when we took it out to serve, the crust has already been soften due to the moist that yogurt given out.

Anyways, the last step is to slices up fruits you prefer and place them on top! DONE.

Ippudo [RAMEN]

Today we decided to go for the newly opened ramen place called "Ippudo". My friend googled and found that it was known as the no.1 ramen place in Japan. Woo, all that sounds very tempting, when I serached for the photos, my mouth is watering. So I went there with very high expectations.

We arrived at 1pm, the line was so long we decided to walk around and come back later since we're not that hungry anyway. Finally the line died down a bit when it was 1:45pm. We got in, staff seems to be nice and helpful. I ordered number two...Think its the tonkotsu broth flavoured with garlic oil. My friend ordered the original broth and a spicy miso paste. I particularly enjoyed stirring the miso paste into the soup, just like the way it melts into my ramen. Took a sip of the soup, tastes very nice. It is way lighter than Gumshara (If you didnt know Gumshara, it is my favourite ramen in Sydney. Locating in the foodcourt of Chinatown. Must try), however the soup seems a bit salty at the end, I felt very thirsty a while after we finished the ramen. However, the soup is good enough for me to consume all of it. I personally do not like noodles that thin...It is way to thin and it tastes a bit like Chinese wonton noodles...I am looking for noodle that should be thicker and with more texture, you know, better to chew. The noodle is definitely a put down...But the flavoured egg and pork are all fine. I have also tried my friend's broth, mine tastes the best I think. I had the one with garlic oil.
The ramen with flavoured egg costs me $18...way too pricey for a ramen...however I have to give credits to the decor, all very nice.

In general, it is a above standard ramen however I still prefer Gumshara.

Sorry for the photos, I only realized that I have to take photos in half-way we ate...so they don't look like that originally. They should look much better

* Ippudo Ramen is located in Pitt Street Westfield, Lv 5.

BREAKING [BAD]




I know its a bit outdated but I have to promote this TV drama - Breaking Bad. Its sooo good that I think it makes my top 3 tv drams of all time, just like that. I cannot stop watching it for the last 2 days, of course except I went to work. I am not on Season 3. It started showing in 2008 and now it has 5 seasons.

The story is about a middle-aged high school chemistry teacher diagnosed with lung cancer. He decided to create meth in order to earn money for his family when he is, dead. Out of the blue, he becomes the legendary cook "Heisenberg". Now, the story plot is interesting enough to attract me to watch it. I was just curious what kind of drama can gain 9.4 in imdb, frankly there are not many. And when I started watching, I cant stop. The plot is all very logical, there are no superheros, no miracle but reality. Everything happened in the story is so realistic, it could just happen right next to my or your home. Probably your high school teacher does drug! or may be KFC is not just selling chicken but also sells drug? The story seems so smooth and makes sense in every ways, I actually feel it happened, or happening. The development of characters are also amazingly well plotted. Walter White - Heisenberg changes little by little in each episode until he turns into a very different person, and yet, its OKAY, its logical. I would be like that if I were him. And Jesse Pinkman, he is the fun character lights up the drama, however sometimes I wish he just shut up and listen. There are not much "love line" in the drama, the only one love plot of Jesse and Jane ends in a flash. I guess the director wants drugs to be the main theme all the time.

Watch it if you haven't!

He used to look like this...

















And now he looks like this...

A [DISAPPOINTING] CAFE

Surprisingly, this morning I got up pretty early so I'm so ready for a beautiful breakfast to lighten up my day.  T & I wanted to have breakfast in McDonald in the first place (McDonald sounds so not beautiful...I know i know) However, they have already closed breakfast! Its already lunch, that is so unacceptable! Its only 10:30am! Sigh...so we decided to try out one of the 2 cafes in Kingsford that we have never stepped foot in. Not saying they look dodgy or what, its just..the idea having western cafes in Kingsford seems weird to me. Kingsford is always very "Asian" in my impression. You can hardly blame me of not liking the idea - having smoothies in Kingsford... Anyways, we have been here 5 years right? So its time to give it a go. We chose the Meek's Cafe since its always full of people.

It is a medium-sized cafe runs by Asians, interior is quite nice and warm. The put down is the open kitchen, in a hot day like today, the smoke from the kitchen just spread out to every corner in the cafe. Giving me a hard time to breathe...

I ordered Bacon Poached Egg and T ordered Bacon Omelet (we LOVE bacon!), plus a blueberry smoothie to share. I don't usually see blueberry smoothie in other cafes so it is a bonus.

Food arrives pretty slow. The Blueberry Smoothies ($5.90) is very nice, the flavour is just right, not too sweet and very refreshing.

Bacon Poached Egg ($8.90) is alright, the combinations can't really go wrong. Bacon is not too hard to chew, but the hollandaise sauce is a disaster. There is no flavour at all, not to mention the dreamy creamy taste of hollandaise sauce is non-existence. OK boss, you really need to work hard and google a better recipe. This is just not right.

Bacon Omelet ($11.90) is...not good... First off, it doesn't look like an omelet at all. The egg is so flat its like a pizza. Probably that's their intention to make the eggs look like pizza and tastes like it. But I ordered omelet to expect there is an omelet...not a pizza-liked egg. The egg is topped with bacon and pineapple. They did not save the omelet. Well, not worth the $11.90 at all... I miss Le Petit Creme...

Afterwards, we went to the Kingsford market....also a disappointment...arghhh my beautiful Sunday is ruined!

ENTRIES BOMB!

HAHA, finally done moving articles from my previous blog...was using wordpress but my browsers have a problem with loading it all the time. It often gets stuck while I'm trying to post an entry and I'm so tired of battling with it...blogspot seems to be more...easy-to-control...so, new blog again

[MY] FIRST DAY OF NEW ZEALAND TRIP

December 12, 2012 · by  · in [ ESCAPE ]

Luckily I have got the time to finally visit the very-south-land : New Zealand. Well, its pretty south for me anyways. A total of 5 people, me and my friends happily joined a 5 days tour starting from Christchurch, ending at Christchurch. The whole itinerary was Christchurch –> Lake Tekapo –> Mt.Cook national park –> Omarama –> Queenstown –> Milford Sound –> Te Anau –> Dunedin –> Oamaru –> Christchurch
The tour we joined was run by Chinese…so…typically, we see a bit of everything and nothing. The highlight of the tour is food, comparison to all previous Chinese tours I have joined in my life, this tour has the best food provided. Regardless of the shallow visit of NZ, I still enjoy the tour very much. NZ is the cleanest country I have ever seen, it has rivers which are able to be seen through until the bottom, and lakes too, they are so blue and clean. It is probably the most unpolluted land on earth. People seem to be very nice, of course I need more time to discover that.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————
The first day we arrived Christchurch in the afternoon around 3pm. Right next to the airport there are a sheep farm and I found it so funny what if all the sheeps are deaf due to the noises from airport landing area? haha Surprisingly, NZ customs are actually quite severe, I chose the youngest custom to queue for thinking he should be more easy-going than the older ones. Ends up they are all the same, he had to ask me where I am going during my trip. I told him I am going to visit some kind of Glacier and he even questioned me the name of the Glacier…well, thats a bit harsh.
After going through all that, we crawled up to the one and only shuttle bus and headed to our hostel. It was pretty spacious to fit 5 of us. After settling in, we started to explore the town and hope to find a bite in the town… The city center seems to be 20 mins away from our hostel, as soon as we started to walk, the weather turns very chilly. I had to put on my thickest coat and my scarf, felt like winter. When we walked past the old city center, we found ruins. Ruins everywhere. It was very sad to see scenes like this of a town. Most of the buildings are severely destroyed, showing all the steels and concretes. The whole area was fenced to be the “red zone”, waiting to recover. Somehow it seems it will take at least 10 years to recover to what it was. The town seems dead quiet, we hardly saw people walking on the street, neither did cars.

IMG_1448
We found a small Japanese diner “Samurai ” right next to the one and only biggest supermarket. The diner has everything from sushi to ramen. The weather was so cold I decided to order a ramen, it was pretty nice but can hardly be considered as very good.
IMG_1460
Nothing to do much after dinner, we walked back to the hostel and get a good night sleep. Zzzzzzz….
* They called Woolworths here as “Countdown”, that sounds a bit funny. The name gives me the imagination that they always have discount and is always counting down for the end of sales.
 

THE AAMAZING [INFRARED OVEN]

December 10, 2012 · by  · in [ EAT ], [ LIFE ]

I would like to present this amazing Infrared Oven! Not sure if it’s a new technology or not, I got this thing from my friend and I was so excited to test it. So the first dish I would like to try with this oven is of course the classic Roast Chicken! I googled and learn that the Infrared Oven can actually replace oven and even healthier. Sounds so amazing, lets see!
IMG_2078
To start, put a whole chicken into this oven ( Only $6 from coles! good bargain). I layered some carrots, potatoes and onions under the chicken. And stuffed garlics, salt and pepper into the chicken.
IMG_2079
Look a bit closely, I use a stainless steel stand to lift the plate up so the plate wouldn’t has direct contact with the surface of the oven. (Still weird calling it an oven…)
IMG_2081
All ready we can start! I used 200 C and for 25 mins. Looking very High-technology with all the light! People living in my place was amazed by how bright it shines…
IMG_2083
Thats the device which projects all the heat.
IMG_2084
Dah-tah! This is the chicken looked like after 25 mins! Its already done! I have to give it credits, the skin is so crispy while the meat still keeps its juiciness. However, the carrots and potatoes are not as cooked as they should be, I guess they should be cooked separately in order to achieve the best result.
IMG_2087
Cuttingggg
IMG_2089
Perfectly roasted! :D
Overall I really think this oven will be a very helpful hand in kitchen! Since it doesn’t produce very smoke while cooking, and its so convenient that you don’t have to monitor it all the time. For the score max. of 10, I give it a 8! Next time I will try baking bread with it!
 

BEING A [CASHIER] IN TOKYO SUPER…

December 4, 2012 · by  · in [ LIFE ]

I have NEVER thought of being a cashier in my life, not a second in my life. I don’t mind being a customer service, a sales assistant, a telephone surveyor or even a cleaner. But definitely NOT a cashier!
Sadly, Tokyo Super is my only part-time opportunity at the moment… Now I realize how hard it is to get a job in Sydney…So with no choice, I started my cashier career last FRI. It was terrible…my mind just went blank when I see there is a long queue forming to pay. I looked at the computer screen with lots of unknown items and those goods with no bar codes kept shouting ” Invalid product code” to me, I wanna scream! And yet I did, I screamed for the boss but usually no one hears me! Where the hell are the boss while I needed her!?? Come on..Today is only my second day, do you expect me to memorize everything already? And you only paid me AUD9 while is WAY below the minimum wage in Sydney. Plus she need me to work from this week, 6pm – 11pm, the busiest period of the whole day. Ha Ha, like a joke. I was desperately scanning an item which screams invalid product code, with a long long queue. I cannot and shouldn’t leave my counter, so I screamed for someone but it was too noisy no one hears me. I stood there and don’t know what to do. Customers starred at me and looked very impatient. I wanted to say it’s not my fault okay? Anyways, I have decided to quit. In fact, T told the boss we’re quitting already. After 4 days of work, I’m officially quitting. I think I deserve a better job than this. I came here to practise my english, but in Tokyo Super, all I can practise is my mandarin.
So, I am having another job trial this Sat as a shop receptionist in Eastgardens. Now this is the kind of job that I am really interested in, chatting with customers, providing them nice services. Helping out people. And paid with an official document so I’m under protect by the minimum wage law. Seriously, I think it is very sad that international students are treated so badly in here. I heard there are plenty jobs offer hourly rate lower than AUD9. Anywhow, byebye to Tokyo Super from tonight!
 

PART-TIME JOB IN SYDNEY

November 27, 2012 · by  · in [ LIFE ]

Just came back from NZ last FRI, which was my birthday…I was hoping Emirates would somehow upgrade me or treat me with something special..but nothing =.= Anyways, NZ is such a beautiful country, it has the cleanest rivers I have ever seen. I can never view the bottom of a river or lake in anywhere other than NZ, may be Switzerland can, but I don’t know cuz I’ve never really been there. (Well I have past Austria and our car was surrounded by snow flakes and mountains, but I was tooo sleepy so I starred for 2 seconds and went back to my dream)
So…Play hard, work hard. It’s time for part-time job! Spent too much in the NZ trip now I need to earn it back. Yesterday me and T walked around Kingsford and asked every stores we are interested if they are hiring people… I first went into the Starlit cafe, I always wanted to work in a cafe! However, they are only looking for long-term employees, so…BYE. Went to Tokyo Super then, T and I both applied for Shop assistant and Cashier, I do cashier. In fact I am very bad at dealing with money, I cant calculate! So this is the job I least want to get… After walking back and forth around Kingsford, I realized it is indeed difficult to find a part-time job in Sydney… especially I don’t have much working experience.
Luckily I got the calls from Tokyo Super and asked me and T to do a job trial tomorrow. Hopefully everything will be fine! [ fingercross ]
P.S. I never knew a job trial is required in Sydney, I thought when they hired me, they hired me. But in Sydney, every shops need to “try” me first in order to decide if they want to hire me. I personally hate this system! Come on, I work a day for no pay and then what if you don’t hire me? Such a waste of my time!
 

THE BEST [ BENEDICT] IN SYDNEY!

November 27, 2012 · by  · in [ EAT ]

So on Sunday 25th Nov, 2012, this historical moment…I found the best egg benedict in Sydney. It is not in some commercial big cafe, it is hidden in this little cafe called “Le Petit Creme” in Darlinghurst Road. My friend recommended me to try it probably a year ago, I went once but it was in weekdays and they only provided the benedict during weekends. What a disappointment, I ordered something else anyways. I remember it was French toast and some kind of salad, French toast tastes really good, the bread was fluffy and soft.
This time I ordered the Salmon Benedict, Ham and cheese Omelette, Iced Chocolate and Earl Grey tea. The benedict tastes like heaven and it looks devine, it DOES worth “dying for”, I wasn’t sure what makes it tastes so good, probably the sauce and the bread, also the eggs cooked with perfection. The Ham and Cheese Omelette doesnt taste as surprise as the benedict but it surely worth trying as well !
The Iced chocolate is pretty light since it has more milk than chocolate which I like. The Earl Grey has nothing special.

SO LOOKING FORWARD TO [ LES MISÉRABLES ]

November 27, 2012 · by  · in Movie




Les Misérables is my second favourite musical on earth (The first one is always the Phantom of the opera, it changes my life). My first time watching Les Misérables was in London, I have listened to its music long ago before I watched it and it stunned me. The music is so sorrow and dark, like “I dreamed a dream”, ” Castle on a cloud”, “On my own” are easily my favourites. And yet the stage version stunned me even more! The moving stage, and live music strike my emotions in every bit. I still couldn’t understand how could they put the whole French revolution on stage.
Anyways, this new Les Misérables movie is finally on next month! On 26th Dec, 2012, just a dream comes true to me! There was an old version of Les Misérables (1998)act by Liam Neeson as Valjean, but it had no musical elements involve which was disappointing to me. In alternatives, the new Les Misérables movie has the strongest cast every, such as Russel Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, only these three can attract millions of viewer!! SOOO LOOKING FORWARD!
 

TO THE MOON [A STORY WORTH LISTENING TO]

November 26, 2012 · by  · in [ GAME ]

TO THE MOON [ A story worth listening to ] 
To the moon is an indie RPG-adventure game produced by Kan Gao. I wouldn’t talk much about the background information, its easy to search online -> Official site / Wiki
Spending almost 5 hours for this game, its totally worth it. I am very grateful meeting this game and listened to its story, it takes me quite a while to get away from the world that Kan Gao has created… Kan is a genius in terms of story telling, he brings us back into Johnny’s life step by step, slowly we discovered the truth behind the veil. Honestly, the first bit of the game was kind of creepy, the music and atmosphere are all very mysterious. However some parts of the game are  humorous, sometimes it gets me laughing sometimes it gets my tears.
The music are the main reason that brings me into the characters’ world, simple but so touching. I did not cry for the game but it gives me something much deeper, it gets me think about…about life.
The most interesting thing of this game is its ending, seems like there is only one ending but there can be actually more than 3 interpretations of the ending. I couldn’t get the game out of my mind after playing it so I crazily went online and searched for information of it. I was stunned that there can be a second ending! Not literally but there can be alternate ending due to your own interpretation! How amazing is that? That’s totally what a good story required, a story that can keep people thinking and interpreting.
However, there are some minor criticisms. This game would be beyond perfect if there are more interactions involve between the storyline and players’ choices. So far there are not much we can do while we’re in the game. All we can do is to follow the tracks and simply watch the story, I personally would prefer more actual “gaming”. A game with good storyline doesn’t have to be less playful. Like those classic games “Final Fantasy 7″ & ” Kingdom hearts” are my all-time favourite since they have this exceptional storyline and interesting interactions between player and the game itself. For “To the moon”, the players are only the player who sit behind the computer screen.
Before having spoilers, below are some snapshots from the game.
 - Really simple puzzles for each scenes, pretty unnecessary
 - There is a life bar throughout the game for us to keep track which stage of Johnny’s life we’re at
 - A scene while Johnny chatting with old friends
—————————————Below includes spoilers—————————————————————————–
So, the most arguable points of this game is definitely the endings. My first impression of the story is just simply what the game is showing. Joey is the one who died and Johnny survived, Johnny’s mom gave him betablockers to erase his tragic memories thus he forgot he ever had a twin brother and he thought he has never met River. However, to my surprise, there can be more interpretations!
2) The other ending is…the one who died is actually Johnny (in the last scene where Johnny’s memories are all mixed up, the little boy who were hit by car said ” Hi, I’m Johnny.” ) So Joey took the pills and thought himself as Johnny, he took Johnny’s memories and shared his beloved. In fact, there are some clues that support this theory. Like, Joey is the one who loves pickle while Johnny hates them. But in the game, the “Johnny” we know loves pickle which means in high possibility, the one survived is Joey.
3) This ending is about Dr. Eva Rosalene, someone stated in fact Eva is actually in a coma while the car crashed, so the whole game is actually in Eva’s head. Dr. Neil Watts is only there to help Eva achieve her dream, which is to help Johnny and other patients. This ending is supported by the ending scene where Eva and Neil are under the lighthouse. When Eva ran off the screen, Neil looked at the lighthouse and paused, then there is a red light flashing, exactly like the red light while Johnny was in near death.
All those endings are very interesting and seems correct, however no one knows if there is a real ending or not. I personally like the second one, it would be absolutely a big twist if its correct. I always loved a big surprised ending. Anyways, I believe there can be many more different endings and that is exactly the reason why this game is so successful. Now I even looking forward to a movie if possible ” To the moon—coming soon!”
