REVIEW 2012

Disaster-blaster Roland Emmerich serves us up another of the globally apocalyptic extravaganzas he has made his own, applying his trademark CGI wrecking ball to various iconic buildings. The statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio takes a tumble and an awful crack appears in the Sistine Chapel ceiling, running directly between the fingers of God and Man. Oh lordy. As ever in Hollywood pictures with urgent “international” settings, the opening scene is set somewhere in Notamericaistan, where the first signs of trouble are detected.

1. 2012
2. Production year: 2009
3. Country: USA
4. Cert (UK): 12A
5. Runtime: 157 mins
6. Directors: Roland Emmerich
7. Cast: Amanda Peet, Chin Han, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Danny Glover, Jimi Mistry, John Cusack, Liam James, Morgan Lily, Oliver Platt, Thandie Newton, Tom McCarthy, Woody Harrelson

Then we whisk to the real action: the West Wing. A copper mine is overheating somewhere in a far-off country. Chiwetel Ejiofor plays an earnest government scientist who realises that the earth’s core temperature is overheating, as apparently smugly predicted by the ancient Mayans. It has incidentally zilch-all to do with global warming. Anyway, the world is going to end – in 2012! Thus substantially buggering up the London Olympics and all our medal-table hopes! This grave implication is sadly given scant mention here, but law and order breaks down all over the world as the earth’s crust starts to bulge and crack, and for the anarchy in London, Emmerich appears to reuse old footage of the 1990 poll tax riots.

The star is John Cusack, playing a divorced novelist and author of some whinging yet inspiringly influential work about humanity and peace. Downbeat performers like him are important to counterweight the grandiloquent action with sympathetic quirkiness and ordinariness. For Cusack, the catastrophe is a valuable way of reuniting his family and moreover effecting a guilt-free removal of his ex-wife’s new husband. Danny Glover is the US president who elects to stay with his doomed people on earth, rather than get on board the exit “ark” – like a captain going down with the ship. The only other world leader who takes this noble course is, I am sorry to say, the Italian prime minister. Somehow I can’t imagine Silvio Berlusconi being quite so noble. The British prime minister has no qualms about scrambling aboard the rescue ship and the same goes for our queen. Her mother’s famous Blitz spirit of not leaving London in a crisis seems not to have been inherited.

Yet when the catastrophe hits, when the buildings crash, and the seas engulf high mountains, one aspect of normal life still continues. Characters are still making contact via their mobile phones! Now, whatever network these people are with – I want to join. Are they on a contract or pay-as-you-go? How marvellous that with the earth literally falling apart, this mobile phone company is still providing a service.
This is a wildly over the top anthology of disaster pictures old and new, and Emmerich isn’t above recycling other people’s ideas. But it’s enjoyable and the opening CGI thrill-ride through the collapsing streets of Los Angeles is undeniably good.

Review Laskar Pelangi

The novel is different from a movie. Each has advantages and disadvantages. One of them, the novel has more room for storytelling. While the film is generally only lasted for three hours. But the film has the advantage to present the story in audio and visual, which means that our senses get more stimulation. Therefore, the novel and movie, will have their own flavor, would give a different reaction, which is not the same response.

Similarly, the film Laskar Pelangi is taken from a novel by Andrea Hirata same title. Of course, because I enjoyed the first novel, so I felt no difference flow velocity told. In the film I felt there was a little less, was not so smooth, and jumping up and down. “Where is this section? Where’s the scene? “. But I was also surprised by the change of different stories in the novel, entertained with chatter-chatter of the boys K, and laughed at the doings of the children’s tin-producing island. I did not say the work of this caliber sineas Riri Riza and Mira Lesmana can not meet the desire of the lovers Laskar Pelangi, Andrea novel but for me still feels more inspiring and shake. (But I also can not help touching in every movement latitude).

Not intended to exclude other people. But this is the third boy got more places than others, just like how Andrea put them in his novel. In addition to the three of them, Mrs. Pak Harfan Muslim and also play a role in strengthening the story.

“Only nine people Pamanda Teacher …” said Miss Muslimah vibrate once more.

The film begins with a monologue that brought me great Ikal home to K in the year 1974. Scene ten new students into opening a noteworthy story by history. I have to give thumbs up to these filmmakers who are brave and believe in the child became a K to Laskar Pelangi. Larian Aaron at the beginning of grassland for laughter throughout the film. The children are innocent, innocent, funny, and fun.

“KEEP OUT OF THAT DO NOT HAVE RIGHTS”

Background K in the past represented quite well by the atmosphere of workers who want to work, bike, moped, and old buildings. Muhammadiah elementary sketch of a decayed and dilapidated be perfect as the Rainbow Warriors pulled together the goat while cleaning a dirty class because of rain.

“Sometimes I’m curious to see how the owner’s face nirvana nails it. Is her face as beautiful as his nails? Is the fingers of his left hand as beautiful as the fingers of his right hand? Or … if he has only one arm? Maybe he did not have a face! “

I think the film Laskar Pelangi has three main sketches form a climax at the end. The third sketch has each central figure, Ikal, Mahar, and latitude. The first sketch is where Ikal fell in love with A Ling. Scene chalk “the nail pretty” dihiperbolis with special effects of light and sparkle of falling rates. I was very entertained and could not help but laugh on this one. Request Ikal to buy chalk, roads around the temple alone, and the separation of the A box Ling. Mahar joined Ikal entertain with singing “Flower Seroja” supported by the group “kosidahan” members of Laskar Pelangi.

“Hushhhhh … Hushhhhh … hushhhhh! Habbaaaaaa … Habbaa … … habbaaaa! “

Small artists who always bring battered radio, batteries constantly hung out to dry until the rusted, and his preoccupation was to say “boy” becomes a key role in the success of SD Muhammadiah get their first trophy by contest the carnival. Asmat ideas from National Geographic magazine provided Flo implemented through an engaging choreography leaves with a ridiculous costumes (cute point). Not forgetting complement of all, the fruit that makes Kucai itching scratching himself a full week. At first I was not sure whether this movie can not accommodate the picture a bit absurd in the novel, Andrea, but with a slight slow-motion effects it worked!

Latitude. Since the young pregnant wife, we agreed to name our son latitude if male. Latitude is also the wife to take me along to the K in Backpacker Lebaran holiday last year. So how big and strong character of latitude for me, is unspeakable.

Child is at the coast of the central figure in the Warriors of the Rainbow, at least for me. I believe the characters that drive the Lintanglah hearts of all readers, touch the conscience and crept up to the fontanel. Latitude is the spirit of the spirit of education which was carried by Laskar Pelangi. Latitude is the spirit, Latitude is the expectation, Latitude is the ideal, is a dream Latitude, Latitude is the flames that will not die by any. Apart from the hyperbole Andrea on latitude, but the essence of a latitude of education will not be replaced, forgotten, or sidelined. Latitude has lived and been an inspiration for many people in this country.

Latitude in the film Laskar Pelangi is also quite right, click, clop, fit, perfect. Black leather, tattered clothes, and thin body teramu well in a thick dialect wither. How he pedaled a bicycle, waiting Bodenga into the river, went up with a dirty finger, and told him about the formation of the rainbow etched in my memory the deepest.

Mother a teacher, my father had died, tomorrow I’m going to school. Hello, Latitude.

Latitude is holding her sister, studied with petromak lights, and helped his father went to sea reminded me of the struggle, hard work and sacrifice. I could not resist touching, though managed to not tear out. I hold with all your soul when the climax occurs. Latitude successfully carried out as a primary Muhammadiah quiz winners. After coming back from there turned out his father had not returned to the house. He waited for his father in the evening with a plaque proudly show champion wants a quiz contest. But the father of the coast was never home. A certain irony tucked into the wisdom of God for anyone who understands.

In The Dreamers, Andrea tells of life as high school days. The three main characters are Ikal, Arai and the horse. Curly-alter ego Andrea Hirata. Arai-distant relatives of orphaned sempei called sacred because the last family member still alive, and eventually become sworn brothers and Jimbron-an orphan who was obsessed with horses and stutter when I’m enthusiastic about something or when nervous.

All three (dead?) In the story of friendship that exists from childhood until they went to high school School No Play, the first high school who stood at the eastern Pacific Islands. School in the mornings and worked as a porter at a fish port in the early morning, from their addiction hot movies in theaters and finally caught their tutor, with curly Jimbron separation and Arai who will continue studying in Jakarta, which ultimately makes them both separately but still will meet in France. Independent living separately from their parents with the background economic conditions are very limited but has great ideals, the ideals which when viewed from the background of their lives, only a dream.

Review Edensor

The third novel of Laskar Pelangi tetralogy tells of adventure and Arai Ikal in Europe. Having succeeded in obtaining a scholarship to France, Ikal and Arai, experienced many events that people usually refer to as culture shock. Many customs and civilization of Europe is completely different from the civilization that they understand this as long as the Indonesian people, especially the Malays.

In this book, and Arai Ikal also reap the karmic result of re-acquaintance mischief they had done as a child and adolescent first. Readers will be brought into Europe through their adventures with an amazing variety of experiences, eerie, making laugh, and shed tears.

I want to climb the top of the challenge, hit hard granite, seductive danger, and solve the mystery with science. I want to sip a-way skydiving experience and explore the maze of lanes lika the end of life can not be presumed. I long for a life with possibilities that react with one another as the uranium molecule collisions: explode unexpectedly, absorbing, binding, doubled, growing, break down, and split up into a surprising direction. I wanted to places far away, to meet a variety of languages and foreign people. I wanted to wander, to find me by reading the stars. I want to navigate the fields and deserts, like blisters sunburned, unsteady wind hit, and shrink the cold grip. I want a vibrant life, full of conquest. I want to live! Want to feel the quintessence of life!
