A Movie Review: Gundala, A New Hope

Image
Bukan seperti film-film Marvel yang permasalahannya sudah setingkat seluruh alam semesta seperti invasi planet, serangan alien, kerusakan robot, atau genetika mutan. Gundala ini sangat dekat dengan masalah kehidupan sehari-hari kita di negeri ini. Masalah kemiskinan dan ketidakadilan yang disajikan dalam film ini membuka mata dan pikiran kita untuk melihat dari dua sisi, sisi rakyat dan sisi petinggi di negeri ini yang katanya wakil rakyat. Konflik yang ada lumayan menyindir fenomena yang harus diakui memang terjadi di negeri ini, yang tidak lepas dari hausnya kekuasaan dan keserakahan. Sebagai film superhero, film Gundala ini adalah permulaan yang baik karena menyuguhkan segi cerita yang mudah diterima semua kalangan. Karena termasuk film asli yang menceritakan asal mula Sancaka (diperankan oleh Abimana Aryasatya) seorang anak yang selalu takut setiap hujan datang karena tidak suka petir, tetapi menemukan jati diri petir dalam dirinya. Walaupun asal mula Sancaka mendapatkan kekuatan i

The daily routine that mostly done by people around the world nowadays is drinking coffee. There really can't be any adult in this great big world that has never tried coffee. Even teenagers nowadays already addicted to coffee. It's consumed everywhere, and judging by the amount of coffee shop in every country, besides, homemade coffee could be an option, instant coffee has been produced to make coffee-drinker easier to consume a coffee. Coffee plays a large role in much of history because of the large effects that the coffee industry has had on cultures where it is produced or consumed. According to the article that I read in order to do the research for this post is that the earliest evidence of either coffee drinking or knowledge of the coffee tree appears in the middle of the 15th century, in the Sufi monasteries of Yemen. By the 16th century, it had reached the rest of the Middle East, Persia, Turkey and Northern Africa. Coffee then spread to the Balkans, Italy and to

Tony : "Feel like my life is a charade. ... You'd tell me, right, if I was losing my edge? The DiNozzo edge? 'Cause I feel like it. I mean, I get swindled by a bimbo. I got Laurel and Hardy impersonating me. What about the third guy? Is he a buffoon? Is that who I am?" McGee : "You haven't lost your edge . You momentarily misplaced it , okay? You're getting it back. Tony : "Did a lot of thinking in the big house. ... Time passed real slow. Honestly, sometimes, I feel like I don't know who I am . And it's strange, because she stole my identity, right? But I feel like I've already lost my identity. I mean, what is this? Seriously, is this some kind of weird metaphor for my current psychological state? " -NCIS Season 13 Episode 20: Charade Woah, it really hit me, so hard. Sometimes, I'm a total sucker when it comes to tv show, with a good quotes, especially when the one who said that quotes is my favourite c

A Movie Review: Surga Kecil di Bondowoso (A Little Piece of Heaven in Bondowoso)

Hola, blog! Been a long time, always. So sorry that I'm not that active again in this blog. I still love to write though but why is it always ended up in draft and then I completely forgot about it.  But right now, I want to wrote a little review about a short film that I just watched.  A documentary film called "Surga Kecil di Bondowoso" by Nia Dinata. In the beginning of this film, there's a quote by Kamla Bahsin, said that "Masculinities is a social definition that’s given to men by society. Masculinity dictates how men act, dressed, and behave with certain qualities they should have.” After that quote, the film shows the beautiful view of Suramadu Bridge and narrated voice by Ustadz (Islamic Teacher or Cleric) Nur Salim. He said that he was born and raised in Madura. Based on his experience living in Madura, he said that most Maduranese men have no respect to women, and they have the bad character. Ustadz Nur Salim didn't feel comfortable about that, he d
