Review – Summer Wars (2009 Anime Movie)

I had been intended to review this movie since long, but losing the file makes me confused how to start it all over again.

From animenewsnetwork:

When timid eleventh-grader and math genius Kenji Koiso is asked by older student and secret crush Natsuki to come with her to her family’s Nagano home for a summer job, he agrees without hesitation. Natsuki’s family, the Jinnouchi clan, dates back to the Muromachi era, and they’ve all come together to celebrate the 90th birthday of the spunky matriarch of the family, Sakae. That’s when Kenji discovers his “summer job” is to pretend to be Natsuki’s fiancé and dance with her at the birthday celebration. As Kenji attempts to keep up with Natsuki’s act around her family, he receives a strange math problem on his cell phone which, being a math genius, he can’t resist solving. As it turns out, the solution to the mysterious equation causes a hijacking of the social networking site through which most of the world’s social and business traffic flows.

So… here it is. Imagine a world, where your real life and your net-life can’t be separated no more, where your real life is integrated into your created avatar, when you just need one account to cross all the border. That’s pretty much the world in “Summer Wars” in, and I can say this confidently, that our world most probably going to.

Movie – Rapunzel (Tangled) Disney

I kinda have to review this movie! Only review OK? No plotline, so this post just a teaser for you to watch the movie.

Most of you probably know this movie as Rapunzel, but it actually named Tangled by Disney, Since the similarity is only about the tower, that long hair and name of the heroine and her nemesis. Others? Absolutely none. The funnier, earlier this movie has been promoted as ‘Rapunzel Unbraided’ .I think it’s related to the fact that Rapunzel’s hair is showing unbraided. But later into Rapunzel and last Tangled. I don’t understand why Indonesia still put the title Rapunzel? Though there is ‘Tangled’ title below the big Rapunzel title.

Indonesian 'Rapunzel' Poster...see that Tangled title?

Ahh..don’t mind that negative likely comments above. I actually really love this movie! Not just because I’m a fan of Disney’s classic animated, but also because I already watch it twice! (Oh, you must be know now how much I love it!!) I really missing the traditional -like- picture!

Warning! There is no Plot but the screen caps (and my comments) Absolutely contain spoiler!!

Movie – Sang Pemimpi

“Bermimpilah, maka Tuhan akan memeluk mimpi-mimpi itu“

“Dreams, Than God will embrace that dreams”.

Sang Pemimpi movie (2009), undoubtably, is one of the most anticipated movie in 2009. I’ve got too busy to review it after watched, but now I’ll review as usual.

Sang Pemimpi (The Dreamer) is the sequel of Laskar Pelangi (Rainbow Troops), which both of them based on novels of the same title written by Andrea Hirata.

As a sequel of Laskar Pelangi, while focused in Ikal’s Childhood, Sang Pemimpi focused on his adolescent life.

Ikal, now together with his Cousin, Arai and their friend, Jimbron got to the First built Senior High School in Belitong. The film mainly focuses on their life during these teenager times. It’s not just matter of  changes places, it shows the alteration of thought over the course of times. When we realize, the group not only showed the desire of studying, but also  youth desire of maturity, hard work to fulfilled their stomach by their own, to get loved, and most importantly: learn how to dream and get hold of that dream.

For addition, the movie also shows us how Ikal and Arai meet, how they meet Jimbron, and a glimpse of their childhood. The movie also shows how Ikal and Arai get their dream comes true, not bombastic miracles like other Indonesian’s film do, but a sweet fruit after great hard work.

This movie has too much aspect to discuss, from the light problem such as the group’s mischieveous act into heavy one such as: The Reality of Indonesian’s worker. This movie also  showing sarcasm of national problems (shown as Father Geovany who always accompanying Jimbron to Mosque, which showing critical problems nowadays, religion difference, isn’t a matter at all), and tons of touching scene which teach audience about

Movie – Astro Boy (American Adaptation)

I write this off freshly after watch the movie, I’m telling you, this movie probably better if you don’t know who is Atom/Astro  before. For an adult/teenager who has known who Atom is, watching this film should be an unsatisfaction, since, honestly, I can’t get the most important thing in all Tetsuwan Atom’s series: the humanity. Over all, this is the synopsis:

The film take a setting in Metro city, a floating city which separated from earth (or they called it surface). Metro city growing into a paradise, where robots servicing human in every life aspect, and the surface just a junkyard of robot’s broken parts.

Movie – Slumdog Millionaire

After reviewing The Ugly Truth, my mind stuck with this thing: “It’s not Fair! Hey, I must review other movies too!”. And here they are, review of “Slumdog Millionaire”, (even though it’s late now). Hell, who doesn’t familiar with this title now? Yeah, after winning Best picture in Academy Awards 2009 and 7 other (after nominated in 10),Despite the conflict about kid actor’s payment, I should say, this film is totally awesome! this is probably the best Hindi film I’ve ever watch.

The movie opened in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Question Style:

Jamal Malik is one question away from winning 20 million rupees. How did he do it?

• A: He cheated                                          • B: He’s lucky

• C: He’s a genius                                        • D: It is written
