came across this article, about how movie should be a cheap education for society from VIVAnews
i immediately wanted to ruin all the glory of the article
as we know, or some people don't know that the nowadays movies in cinema, in Indonesia are most likely going back to the era where local movies were about action, sex, mystical, and sex.
BUT it was the era where cinematography was known for those issues
we know that people will always produce something that give them a lot of kaching! Rp Rp Rp
we can't deny it
but nowadays as we know, the quality of our local movies are mostly crap
but it happens as well in other countries
trust me, B-rated movies are everywhere not only here in Indonesia (just an eye opening info)
but what i concern the most is the frequency and the QUANTITY of those kind of movies all over the cinemas
like WTH do i want to watch all of those everytime i need a relaxation, an escape from daily routines?
do i have to escape myself to enjoy soft porn?
why don't i just go watch real porn instead?
it's not that i never watched any of them
i watched almost all controversial local movies (only those with controversial celebs in it)
you name it!
Paku Kuntilanak, Suster Keramas, Arisan Brondong
as we know in Paku Kuntilanak we see things we should not see in a cinema
in Suster Keramas we know how tempting it is to Google Rin Sakuragi afterward
in Arisan Brondong of course we are fascinated with Heather Storm (againn after Paku Kuntilanak) and also another beauty from Japan, Erika Kirihara
I immediately Googled all of those names after i watched the movies
just to acknowledge what they are doing in daily life
and i bet all of the people inside the cinema did that
so what can we get from those movies?
a new knowledge about who's in porn industry?
and not enough to fulfill my personal curiosity i YouTubed millions local movies
and my simple opinion: ALL ARE THE SAME.
same style
same storyline
same meaningless
same idiot perfromance
even a kindergarten student can do better than the actresses and actors
i barely found a semi-good local movies with HORROR/THRILLER genre
pathetic
if you really want to go stupid, make something like SCARY MOVIE the series
don't do semi-idiot or trying-to-be-funny movie
at least i can burst into laugh watching SCARY MOVIE the series
you can be stupid but don't go all the way stupid
make something enjoyable
at least for boring people
it's fine, perfectly fine to explore the beauty and sensuality of the actress, but at least balance it with good storyline, good performance, and good meaningful story
it's as if i watch a movie consists of an action scene but while the battle is on, suddenly i watch a sex scene and then goes back to the battle scene
funny!
then it is becoming nonsense when the genre, that should be thrilling, becoming ridiculous with stupid title like POCONG MANDI or KUNTILANAK KESURUPAN
doesn't make sense at all!
yes you can claim that ART doesn't make any sense
but i shall remind you there are 2 types of art: GENIUS ART and CRAPPY ART
and so sorry to say those stupid lines are just stupid badly created piece of junk
trying to intrigue but it is an epic fail!
i'd rather go for something funny all the way like ARISAN KUBURAN
stupid but at least make a slight sense and go figure what's in it
so the existence of these kind of movies
are they actually money oriented?
or do we really like them?
our society love them so much that they keep producing it?

royal wedding.
oh i know i'm kinda late discussing this issue right now
but that's not exactly what i'm trying to discuss here
when william&kate held their ROYAL WEDDING last time, my twitter timeline was flooded with people cheering for them and admiring their wedding blah blah whatsoever
okay so what?
they aren't my relatives
i only know them as people, portrayed in media
that's all
so what makes people are so crazy about it?
esp. women
okay so we are happy for them, that should be enough
no need all fancy dreams of princess-like wedding
fairy tale whatsoever
really?
people, really?
women, really?
do we need all that?
in my point of view and opinion, their wedding is merely just a normal humble wedding like any other wedding celebration/reception in anywhere in this world
what makes it so ROYAL is merely how people see that they come from royal family, moreover it is all over the media
that's all
see how they celebrate their wedding, from church to "home"?
what makes them different is only the term "royal" and their so called "unusual" home
to look beyond it, imagine, being kate, you have to prepare everything one year in advance
etiquette lesson, a must DIET, everything must be perfect
you can't do this, that easily
you have to act well
you have to "fake" everything
HOW'S THAT SOUND?
if you really is a fan of dreamy royal wedding, go ahead try it
for me, in my own opinion, my dream wedding isn't anything near that ideal
wedding is only once in my entire life
being with people i love the most and who love me so much
being with a man of my life
and i want it to be so special
that i don't have to change myself nor my identity
that's absurd and crazy!
the context of what's royal, what's in, what's cool, and what's so great in our mind is only shaped by society and media
we are shaped by it
thus we see everything according to what society/media told us
admit it
there is no fairytale in this real world
except in movies and books and in your dream
it is okay to dream
it is okay to plan your wedding as close as fairytale like
but to be so nuts about the royal wedding as if it was part of your life?
oh puhlease... exaggerated and overrated!
not that i envy, why would i do that?
not a slight feeling
i'm happy for them but that's all
just because it looks tremendously amazing and beautiful in the surface, it does not appear to be that splendid in reality
well i guess we have to start appreciate what we have in the first place
i bet even our president's son's wedding wouldn't affect people so much
funny, when we should really appreciate it first then the world will start to appreciate us
it comes back to the fact that most people i know, they aren't proud of being INDONESIAN
are you?

love is overrated?
yesterday i saw one of tv shows aired the topic of "LOVE"
the tagline was: "Love is crazy."
thus i wonder whether i would post a blog about it or not
since it is a kind of delicate topic to talk about over here
but then i thought "well it is too much, maybe i just have to separate it from what i usually talk about here"
but then i was intrigued by someone saying "LOVE IS OVERRATED"
not only intrigued, i was challenged......
not to prove how not overrated love is, but to prove, love is merely something that people try to define
to make it real.
that is at least what i believe
hereby i try to define what is love in the first place ACCORDING to what people define it (of course it is from dictionary! ha!)
American heritage dictionary: love
(n)
so what is love?
i can simply say i don't know.
if i have really to answer is, my answer would be definitely similar to one of above definitions.
then it would become useless for me to define it, since love is so abstract, nothing can describe it
you know it is simply like abstract art
guess what, the artist may say EVERYTHING or ANYTHING about their art
but really? they have any idea what it is about?
i know why i am doing my abstract painting
i know what it is about
i know the reason behind it
i know the tools
i know everything about it but the abstraction itself
it is absurd
almost undefinable.
but then..... it is the beauty of it
because you cannot really define it, it becomes something that triggers your emotion
that why abstract art is intriguing and affecting you so much when you face it
you ask 10000 people who experience the same one abstract piece, you will get 10000 different interpretations
forget the definition, forget the title, forget the artist
forget everything you know about the art itself and start interpreting it according to what you experience in life
BINGO
you get similar affect like when you have to define art
you pause for a moment, think carefully about it, and start remembering everything you know/do/get from your life experience to compare or to put it together and explain what the art piece is about (love is about).
but who can really define the abstract piece itself but the artist?
but then where does the talent come from?
where does the idea of abstraction come from?
only He knows.
thus, even people create the term LOVE, they don't really know what it is
we can only define something, describe something just to make it REAL and make it OURS
this bothers me so much when people start to blame love or use love term as something that affect your life so bad
if you don't care or don't bother at all about love
you still care about it by bothering say I DON'T CARE
when by the time you are saying it, you instantly think what you are saying = you think about love itself
you know people crying for love, dying for love, surviving for love, being happy for love
but is it really FOR LOVE? or is it merely for YOURSELF
convincing yourself so much that IT IS LOVE
is actually just to make those feelings become real
that you can describe what you are feeling
youdon't can't hate love
you only hate yourself and the situation that shapes/makes you do that
you only hate the person that cause it
you hate the fact
not the love itself
love becomes the black sheep most of the time
there must be something that cause people say "i hate love", "i hate being in love", "love is overrated", "love is underrated", or even "love is bullshit"
love is only how we see it, interpret it, define it, experience it.
if i have to say, i guess love really is crazy
crazy because you can't explain what you feel/do/experience
see crazy people out there, you can't tell what they do/say/think
that's why you say they're crazy
simply because you can't define it
can't understand or grasp the situation.
if i can say, love is simply SIMPLE.
so have a good day people!
though love cannot be defined
at least try to feel it in every little thing in your life~
