This is true particularly for Martin Scorsese, a white American man telling a chapter of the great suffering endured by the Osage nation, a series of murder that’s product of the systemic greed and corruption of power by white Americans. Throughout the film, it’s well-expressed that he’s aware of his limitation, as this idea is woven attentively in the fabric of the narrative. The film keens to avoid exploitative sensationalism in favor of a cinematic rhythm that’s expressive in its restraint, grounded by the incredible weight of its devastating tragedy. The violence depiction—like what’s depicted in his later works e.g. The Irishman or Silence—is especially interesting. In contrast to his early works, Scorsese is more interested in the destructive nature of violence and its grim repercussions rather than the action itself. He intentionally keeps catharsis at bay, brimming the frames with understated anguish and grief that creep their way under the audience’s skin and lingers there. At times, the film may feel cold and distant, but in order for this film to work, it’s also necessary. There’s no solace or sense of finality offered. Instead, he acknowledges the film’s and his limitation loud and clear, serving as as a moving reflection for him and us as spectators, that we’re all complicit in this crime—or to quote Scorsese himself from his press interviews, this “sin by omission”. </span></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxOGudanudsM6_K-4TjAxFBP42QXMfVyvRtD2fot1RoChW-9P9oqyuQmkGEsV8B91zHIT8zKicMYcuVuV9CSi5zNdkbA3f73IUH-0uEPlhtmV2hZTniZ_9sWiH8eDMousdkWA2RdXtV4sqYmjiDXb2KhuId_1rp01dMShnnssATuXh5CvkEiuTQPjvMJU/s1000/kotfm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxOGudanudsM6_K-4TjAxFBP42QXMfVyvRtD2fot1RoChW-9P9oqyuQmkGEsV8B91zHIT8zKicMYcuVuV9CSi5zNdkbA3f73IUH-0uEPlhtmV2hZTniZ_9sWiH8eDMousdkWA2RdXtV4sqYmjiDXb2KhuId_1rp01dMShnnssATuXh5CvkEiuTQPjvMJU/s16000/kotfm.jpg" /></a></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The film marks another Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro collaboration with Scorsese, and another peak in their respective careers. Amidst the formidable turns by DiCaprio and De Niro, in the eye of the hurricane there’s Lily Gladstone’s Mollie Burkhart—fantastically played by Gladstone who rightfully deserves an Oscar for this performance—whose life, along with that of the Osage nation, were forever afflicted and destroyed. As Mollie, Gladstone’s grief-stricken delivery of pain and resilience is unbelievably nuanced and palpable. Her piercing glares alone speak volumes, louder than any words could. She stands as the cornerstone of Osage nation’s experience: left aside and hurt by the injustice, yet whose fortitude remains intact and powerful. The film excels in this depiction and she stands above her material, but the script does face setbacks. Having to split focus between Gladstone’s, DiCaprio’s and De Niro’s points of view, her absence at times results in a less comprehensive portrayal of the Osage perspective. Yet, even when she isn’t physically gracing the screen, her profound strength continues to resonate and impact the narrative. Still, this doesn’t diminish Scorsese’s genuine commitment in bringing this tragedy into consciousness. Despite this narrative challenge, the sprawling 3.5-hour Killers of the Flower Moon is a monumentally riveting achievement, firmly rooted in impeccable, sensitive storytelling by Scorsese and colossal performances from its three leads. It’s one achievement that proves how even a decorated filmmaker in his ever-growing 60-year old career, like Scorsese, can still hit new heights of honesty and maturity. It’s also one aching reminder of the many ways in which systemic atrocities of evil operate and propagate, spanning from the brutal inhumane acts to subtle shades of their inherently commonplace existence.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb8MVLiwIJsi_tfCDFWRVzY5wAw97e5fS93vnwom-xNWQ0OyXmPSm9h7cS2KUL7Hh9o8ohkCD9rfxkxn0JvvhHqpqYYx_CYDLYeGvATokq1O270p3oBZUePr7vbvhfHSawKPIUpuY-J4s/s587/4-5.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="184" data-original-width="587" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb8MVLiwIJsi_tfCDFWRVzY5wAw97e5fS93vnwom-xNWQ0OyXmPSm9h7cS2KUL7Hh9o8ohkCD9rfxkxn0JvvhHqpqYYx_CYDLYeGvATokq1O270p3oBZUePr7vbvhfHSawKPIUpuY-J4s/s16000/4-5.png" /></span></a></div>Rizky Muzakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05951939508223976943noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039176006943681487.post-18286403570399825902022-01-05T07:40:00.004-08:002022-01-05T19:59:58.546-08:00[Review] The Humans (2021)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjK4X5-9C1TCdXXM6bEKvuPhO5zRh3FOcdKO4PRsS8DUoa7-oW50sqYGn08wlBJo1Xwno1sdBBiI45oK3wVjEOUX36hPJ04F25jpkX_kp3IkZ-aLNyRQuaQQxr4-XyMQJMpEVUNcHL2x4oKGnuMneq2TZlys0m3iBDAKLChxsfUQby_HZCQJ0beddDk=s755" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><img border="0" data-original-height="755" data-original-width="481" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjK4X5-9C1TCdXXM6bEKvuPhO5zRh3FOcdKO4PRsS8DUoa7-oW50sqYGn08wlBJo1Xwno1sdBBiI45oK3wVjEOUX36hPJ04F25jpkX_kp3IkZ-aLNyRQuaQQxr4-XyMQJMpEVUNcHL2x4oKGnuMneq2TZlys0m3iBDAKLChxsfUQby_HZCQJ0beddDk=s320" width="204" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><i></i></span><blockquote><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><i>"And now, maybe loving someone long-term is more about deciding whether to go through life unhappy alone, or unhappy with someone else?"</i> - Aimee (Amy Schumer)</span></blockquote></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgrnLOzdfZ8lkf2CMMQJ4RwJfNbfNvgQAOwPA84mmNi7iziS6XbhLuOdw88CGD64MyhC_GIDVLBX2FAe24PotlKBvq2waGdDtGOzCp2mJmnhKtLFDHtTWhvWAMwcvm4ybuOzsubdQNePs1mUBNGsMtiIdlc4hpNShmublqHBDvJkqbPnvkcioRZMNuo=s738" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><img border="0" data-original-height="324" data-original-width="738" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgrnLOzdfZ8lkf2CMMQJ4RwJfNbfNvgQAOwPA84mmNi7iziS6XbhLuOdw88CGD64MyhC_GIDVLBX2FAe24PotlKBvq2waGdDtGOzCp2mJmnhKtLFDHtTWhvWAMwcvm4ybuOzsubdQNePs1mUBNGsMtiIdlc4hpNShmublqHBDvJkqbPnvkcioRZMNuo=s16000" /></span></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">A movie set in a single room is nothing new, yet for this play-based depiction of annual family outbursts, it's never quite the same. Unlike any other which mostly turns into a neverending shouting match, The Humans' means of storytelling is never wide and exposed. Instead, it's compact, brief, brimming with mysterious intentions that many times even ascend into horror impulses. Sporadically, it chooses to go to some lengths with its heated exchanges, veering more into revealing the intense, sincere inner feelings. Yet, it never remains exactly that way. As soon as The Humans reaches a certain emotionally revealing point, it retracts itself, stepping back a couple of steps then resuming its usual pattern of appropriateness. By doing this seemingly mundane means, the movie constantly sustains its intriguing gist, carefully sewing these undertones in between the loving, warm Thanksgiving backdrop. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">In contrast to its passing conversations, the camera lingers, focuses on insignificant objects every now and then, unconsciously and eerily dissociating itself from the whole discourse but never physically leaving. When the same camerawork is applied to each character, however, it achieves a different effect: we see them in their everchanging nuances, allowing their underlying shame, guilt, and anguish to be implicitly expressed through the lens. This subtle contrast between dialogue and visuals is essentially what sets The Humans apart from its counterparts, a contrast that makes us realize how humans' embarrassment of vulnerability and avoidance of truth can translate into something akin to growing overwrought trepidation. It's a horrific feeling so nerve-wracking yet it's almost impossible to look away, and in the end, you just can't help but keep digging till its very core. Interestingly, The Humans never once arrives at that final destination, as it doesn't offer a rush of cathartic sentiments, but rather a mere silhouette of human emotions spectrum that aligns well with its diegetic humane scope. With equally strong cast dan dynamic directorial choices, The Humans is an atmospheric roundtable drama that packs more questions and context than answers and exposition, making it one of the more interesting outings of the year, featuring quite possibly one of the most effective uses of cramped settings in the genre.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb8MVLiwIJsi_tfCDFWRVzY5wAw97e5fS93vnwom-xNWQ0OyXmPSm9h7cS2KUL7Hh9o8ohkCD9rfxkxn0JvvhHqpqYYx_CYDLYeGvATokq1O270p3oBZUePr7vbvhfHSawKPIUpuY-J4s/s587/4-5.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><img border="0" data-original-height="184" data-original-width="587" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb8MVLiwIJsi_tfCDFWRVzY5wAw97e5fS93vnwom-xNWQ0OyXmPSm9h7cS2KUL7Hh9o8ohkCD9rfxkxn0JvvhHqpqYYx_CYDLYeGvATokq1O270p3oBZUePr7vbvhfHSawKPIUpuY-J4s/s16000/4-5.png" /></span></a></div>Rizky Muzakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05951939508223976943noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039176006943681487.post-25598288296852305892020-09-24T13:17:00.020-07:002021-06-09T23:55:20.732-07:00[Review] Autumn Sonata (1978)<div style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "helvetica neue"; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvP3KiQC7LD3szyLlXj_8VmVBGrQAFk2gLVCti423KPq3ZEYfEt9J_AjdMCP9bq7lCM24pLkmdxZDz5TAYe0lfvxp51ta4jQpanOQnZcggxH6086Otg3vhbbyaW52xeXuqA7whYaVWomE/s1600/autumn.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1288" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvP3KiQC7LD3szyLlXj_8VmVBGrQAFk2gLVCti423KPq3ZEYfEt9J_AjdMCP9bq7lCM24pLkmdxZDz5TAYe0lfvxp51ta4jQpanOQnZcggxH6086Otg3vhbbyaW52xeXuqA7whYaVWomE/s320/autumn.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica neue;"><blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><i>“Are the daughter's miseries the mother's triumphs?”</i> - Eva </div></blockquote></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7fZSH203hoaDXsRTSDz6BTJgXJnTxlZWwHnqEGdrqxGJDZot0IZgmajyHqeScKZD_Bkt3LeJS62FTtdnEIMZlLKWtEuOU8PV9UvYm8j03T4XhIa0_e0j7DfukjieLhZT0PCkQfBuDgsc/s738/autumn_sonata_1280.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="324" data-original-width="738" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7fZSH203hoaDXsRTSDz6BTJgXJnTxlZWwHnqEGdrqxGJDZot0IZgmajyHqeScKZD_Bkt3LeJS62FTtdnEIMZlLKWtEuOU8PV9UvYm8j03T4XhIa0_e0j7DfukjieLhZT0PCkQfBuDgsc/s16000/autumn_sonata_1280.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><br /></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">In cinema filled with dysfunctional family dramas, Ingmar Bergman’s works often loom conspicuously.</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"> From <i>Scenes from A Marriage</i> to <i>Cries and Whispers</i>, his grip on this heavy subject has long been both celebrated and cerebrated. </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><i>Autumn Sonata</i>, the first and last collaboration between the two </span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue;">incomparable </span></span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Bergmans: Ingmar and Ingrid Bergman, is one of those hefty formidable dramas. Through the estranged relationship between a daughter, Eva (Liv Ullmann), and her concert pianist mother Charlotte (Ingrid Bergman), Ingmar Bergman gazes at their stirring spectacle of disquieting, perpetuated emotional injuries. Here, t</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue";">here are countless feelings embedded meticulously, but all of them are tied up by one notion in common: the perplexity of emotion itself. As much as the concept of emotion can be defined in terms of universal semantics, such as anger, sadness, fear, guilt, love, etc.; the emotion, in general, is a fuzzy concept to describe, and their existence to each other can be as all-encompassing as they can be outwardly incongruous. This thesis, manifested along with a stellar cast, truthful direction, revealing dialogue, and incarcerating cinematography, bring an honest, unposed face to its distrust-rooted delineation.</span></div><div style="font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br />Like some of his tortured family depictions, Ingmar’s aesthetics are never really reliant on being extremely adorned, but underneath those dusty sepia-tinged frames, it’s a skilfully choreographed piece of dramatic triumph. Together with cinematographer Sven Nykvist, <i>Autumn Sonat</i>a’s camerawork moves slowly and often follows the actors’ movement then zooms in on them, only for the frame to be crammed with their faces, fully focusing on their emotions and expressions. It’s so restrained to the point that the diegetic space we’ve left with feels more and more claustrophobic with time. These close-ups perform as an unceasing microscope to capture every minute detail of their face features’ mobility: eyes twitching, forehead lines folding, downturned mouth, to their constantly vivid and unconcealed pores; we notice one thing and many things at once, as they unfold and as they fade. Quietly confrontational and in a way, obtrusively unassuming, these shots reduce their facades away, layer by layer, motif by motif, until there’s no room left to hide. </div><div style="font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinIXWvA8KLaxhYVBncj-x6tE2oF7EvZkb5iF9X3ww6IMQojjrlkokvPB-m1-xQ11N_AE0x8rNR0SCaHHyVJuj_LPTrn2c_crIBxN-uUf1NG9kOqhG2KGAtUdwjoCPzoOb7CX1TbqgYQzc/s738/current_85_047_original.jpg" style="font-family: Times; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="324" data-original-width="738" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinIXWvA8KLaxhYVBncj-x6tE2oF7EvZkb5iF9X3ww6IMQojjrlkokvPB-m1-xQ11N_AE0x8rNR0SCaHHyVJuj_LPTrn2c_crIBxN-uUf1NG9kOqhG2KGAtUdwjoCPzoOb7CX1TbqgYQzc/s16000/current_85_047_original.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Bergman's script is attentively constructed all over the gentle but assured emotional exposition<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; text-align: left;">—</span>in the silence, everything unfurls and in the clutter of words, the truth conceals. Despite being a melodrama in spirit, <i>Autumn Sonata</i> is very controlled in its overarching outlook of long-repressed feelings. Between the cinematography and the dialogue, the two form an intense, often unnoticed relay race that composedly begins to unearth a giant, ambivalent force of love and hate. The dialogue establishes the two stark personas as it cuts deep into them. In its first act, Bergman uses dialogue brilliantly to show context but rarely to expose them. The essential is faint to the ears and overlooked to the eyes. During its first minutes, the dialogue between Eva and Charlotte sometimes takes detours from the actual gist of what Bergman is trying to tell, all while hinting a deeper theme underneath its surface that is still clearly evident every now and then. In the absence of the dialogue, the camerawork takes over, capturing their unspoken words that are locked away in their guarded chambers while each one tries to play by their socially acceptable roles and norms. All the love, although is never explicitly told, seems to shift back and forth between genuine and performative. It's not until later when everything gets progressively intense: the dialogue becomes more direct, the past becomes barer, and the pain becomes truer. At this point, all their silent thoughts come to light unapologetically, all at once. It's downright brutal and distressing, but only then do they feel real. The length that Bergman goes to surely takes patience, but this finely tuned rhythm is what makes the grit of their relationship even more hard-hitting. </div><div style="font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Aside from being an Ingmar Bergman's grand drama with groundedly detailed technicality, <i>Autumn Sonata</i>, more often than not, is also an acting vehicle for its two most formidable Scandinavian stars. As Eva and Charlotte, Ingrid Bergman and Liv Ullmann bring in two unparalleled deliveries that are incredibly dynamic and full-force in the midst of its family turmoil. When we're introduced to Eva, her face bursts with joy and smiles but her eyes brim with uncertain disquiet. She's as uptight as she's elated to finally see her mother Charlotte after seven years. As soon as Charlotte arrives, she hops off her car, in a sophisticated beige outfit and sprucely coiffed hair, an obvious obverse of her own daughter.

One of their first unuttered dissonances is remarkably shown in the piano scene. With them both trying to bond over music, the scene is thoroughly serene. The only thing that can be heard is Eva's imperfect attempt at Chopin's piece, yet the camera lingers on Charlotte's face. Charlotte listens and heeds cautiously, leniently forbearing for a minute then hushedly peeved in the next, all while sustaining her discreet bit of a show. "I liked you," Charlotte politely dodges her daughter's pining for approval, torn between her motherly image and concert pianist persona. <span style="font-size: calc(var(--rem) * 1px * 1.0625); letter-spacing: 0px;">Subsequently,</span><span style="font-size: calc(var(--rem) * 1px * 1.0625); letter-spacing: 0px;"> she proceeds to play her interpretation while dissecting the piece lengthily. Eva is visibly upset but continues to come along anyway. She softly contemplates her mother's face: engrossed, determined, and passionate. Eva droops her posture a little, for a moment her mind is elsewhere, then she comes back and dismally stumbles upon a fact: it's her first time seeing her mother's genuine, bare affection her whole life. And that's through music, not her. Bergman and Ullmann play this scene masterfully, veering to and fro between their extensive vocabulary of nuances. But this scene is just a slice of their brilliant command of acting. As more secrets get unlocked, more truthful and aching clashes burgeon. The reality continues to catch up with them until they're trapped within the irreversible state of harsh realization</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;">—</span><span style="font-size: calc(var(--rem) * 1px * 1.0625); letter-spacing: 0px;">that they're each other's constant reminder of failures and damages. In that state, every dialogue is retrospective, a looking glass to each passive-aggressive memory, and a cynical attempt at emotional abreaction. The weight gets bigger and louder, and so does their acting. Inside and out, it's a masterful acting marathon in which every powershifting is finely drawn from time to time.</span></div><div style="font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><i>Autumn Sonata</i>, is just painful. It's part melodic and part ugly-sounding, but like Charlotte's perfect description of Chopin's prelude, it's meant to sound wrong. This translates well to their story: Eva longs for her mother's affection meanwhile Charlotte devotes her life entirely to music, it's a sharp observation of unreciprocated love, hidden guilt, and embellished ugliness that simply rings true. Powered by its commanding performances, <i>Autumn Sonata</i> sees Ingmar Bergman voyaging his account of dark family-centric underbelly through the confined, discreetly thrilling setting of stillness, chaos, and everything in between. From the dissembled propriety, abrasive reverie, up to the moments when all hell breaks loose, this small 99-minute wonder<i> </i>lets us absorb and drench completely in it, slowly inviting us to experience the never-ending spectrum of human misery. Agitated, embarrassed, wretched.</div><div style="font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF6L_Y9MtNo7MZ7MKFa76U37QsHQ4dWkYJVadN4CgOFrFznI_zTh2Da8JerYwWWoQvkNxW8BcFlrbfxjKVM0c99IxVOtQYDiOt83zkQ45kGzpJ9X2ZMxwQf7vCZrjHTBbafTN_1DZtmhg/s587/5-v3.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="184" data-original-width="587" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF6L_Y9MtNo7MZ7MKFa76U37QsHQ4dWkYJVadN4CgOFrFznI_zTh2Da8JerYwWWoQvkNxW8BcFlrbfxjKVM0c99IxVOtQYDiOt83zkQ45kGzpJ9X2ZMxwQf7vCZrjHTBbafTN_1DZtmhg/s16000/5-v3.png" /></a></div></div>Rizky Muzakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05951939508223976943noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039176006943681487.post-87140822609875061442020-09-12T01:26:00.008-07:002020-09-12T12:23:23.486-07:00[Review] The Hours (2002)<div style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeUBZRaxvNTgCFYF00F838eNyTYZ3JL0v58ju9_61cFpcITucK7spi3NWoRwUib6EtYJPGTqus4EuuWe3I4iE8ZRd3AAHpGEw3Fak2LuPrJ9cOne-7qcaBZE1dGDUiMTR-ia5IiXaL7_A/s1400/hours_xlg.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1400" data-original-width="894" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeUBZRaxvNTgCFYF00F838eNyTYZ3JL0v58ju9_61cFpcITucK7spi3NWoRwUib6EtYJPGTqus4EuuWe3I4iE8ZRd3AAHpGEw3Fak2LuPrJ9cOne-7qcaBZE1dGDUiMTR-ia5IiXaL7_A/s320/hours_xlg.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><blockquote><i>“What does it mean to regret when you have no choice?

It’s a glaring drama that deals with its ambition keenly, hear this: a story that takes place within the span of a single day in three different decades, alternating between three women and linked by their quandary that stands in the way of commitment and desire. On paper, it may seem mouthful, but through Stephen Daldry’s soothing direction, The Hours is one soul-stirring beauty. Daldry neatly sews the bridges between the chasms written by David Hare and is able to find its intrinsic rhythm, all then stitched beautifully by the adeptness of its lyrical ensemble of the star-studded cast and the rush of Phillip Glass’ reverberant score.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue";"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue";"><div style="text-align: justify;">Helmed by the acting trifecta of Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, and Meryl Streep; these three women, separated by time and anchored by their collective minds, bring in powerhouse performances packed with a sure-fire emotional punch. Kidman, by a nose—as Denzel said it—and her mighty talent, is fully committed as Virginia Woolf. Kidman impressively registers pitch-perfect note after another, making her turn as Woolf as her most shocking yet—at that time—as she disappears into Woolf’s physicality: her posture and her tone of voice, reliving her spark of creativity and her state of mind. No more of that smooth, satin-like personality of hers in <i>Moulin Rouge! </i>nor the mean-spirited satirical character she plays unapologetically in <i>To Die For.</i> Yet, beyond the writer persona, Kidman shows her incredible control as she allows us to see through Woolf’s aching, yet unbeaten grit. She’s vulnerable without being completely wide open, adrift without being powerless: a guarded intensity of acuity with a flair of imperiousness.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div style="font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" data-original-height="484" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxS3mjBN1DD2Yyd8zDlcXcfQCmRHfwsFbxylOHq2FnrZ_bb5CNjqG4v1mh0lqazfAHgfTlu22ZR7Vbzc0yxk3WtTmrO7SBTXz6u_5thnCBHSGLgmmFmJPwpMALTMd635l7wqdneLwQcIA/s16000/245559c88447878d5cde1c3f342786ee1eb19150191f96da849b683954fbc94e._V_SX1080_.jpg" style="text-align: left;" /></div><div style="font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Julianne Moore's turn as a shielded mother is every bit as interesting as Kidman’s portrayal, if not more. Secluded from her own existence and feelings, she wears a smile every day and carries herself as a loving, perfect ideal of the American dream in order to survive societal conventions, because really, she doesn’t have any choice. Conscious and awake, yet detached, so far removed, and everything in between, Moore is a vast amalgamation of nuances. It’s a truly tough part to pull off, yet she does so, and even more. Her willingness to go far in her craft is truly what makes The Hours an indelible mark of her acting mastery. Meryl Streep here carries less weight on her shoulder than the other two, but even with less flesh in her material, Streep is still a rounded, solid character that simply captivates. As Clarissa, she’s openly bisexual, able to acknowledge her liberty, and untied to the suppressive systemic customs that chain Moore and Kidman’s characters, yet she’s still afraid, unsure, and haunted by the choices she made/didn’t make. Backdropped with the 21st-century life setbacks and whatnot, her personal battle makes her the one character that most audiences can identify with. Her presence, despite being a looking glass to the audience, also operates as a filtered lens to see through these women’s stories, to make us observe and feel without feeling like a standalone onlooker, and it clearly works.</div><div style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue";"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue";"><div style="text-align: justify;">Through their powerful display of acting, The Hours makes the journey along the chasms themselves rewarding, but clearly, the script plays an even bigger part: how the narrative looks at life in the eyes, searching for and reflecting on choices or the lack of them. Even if it’s not always a smooth ride, the result is always fulfilling. The journey feels like a never-ending disquiet at the minutiae of everyday life, as they welcome us right at the pits, as they plummet deeper into sorrow, regret, and pain; grieving for the lives they could’ve had and even further: the unraveling of their perpetuated suffering. Though the movie abstains itself from depicting the detailed, seemingly-trivial grounds, and instead takes the focus into a kaleidoscope of life’s repercussions; The Hours doesn’t come across as an empty vessel of skin-deep life horror. The script carefully navigates between each mind, in which one idea is echoed to the next, gradually mounting one single, giant resonating force. It’s true that pain is an attested measure of reality, and even if this cinematic approach to storytelling may take some of its sense of realism and complexity away, that exact sentiment is the one that brings its somber motif into the limelight. It’s not new and since then many have done it even better, but the grasp is what makes The Hours a personal epic that’s poignant, expressive, and ultimately earnest.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1DVdrJtqxAjgcOjIO7T7GIk0HoEskaVz3tjBjRcvdm-yUioIbZwOBHkZNPX0pLJKiNyVEM9u5zYALZRkJKu9Y4lSLCc1zNxMqGW0jzCDSQEjKfjwkaEfEmwYsaPSfhknh3TM6l70OHQw/s587/4.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="184" data-original-width="587" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1DVdrJtqxAjgcOjIO7T7GIk0HoEskaVz3tjBjRcvdm-yUioIbZwOBHkZNPX0pLJKiNyVEM9u5zYALZRkJKu9Y4lSLCc1zNxMqGW0jzCDSQEjKfjwkaEfEmwYsaPSfhknh3TM6l70OHQw/s16000/4.png" /></a></div></div></span></div></div>Rizky Muzakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05951939508223976943noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039176006943681487.post-30368443601597382212020-01-24T08:09:00.001-08:002020-01-24T08:09:56.055-08:00[Review] Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)<div style="orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; widows: 2;">

Sciamma composes every frame with a certain amount of unposed shades: the colors are muted and the diction is understated, yet it never shies away from its true-being: a passionate portrait ablaze with its scattered, powerful imageries. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Watching Little Women had me pondering question after question. What makes a great film, great? </span>Then, that question expanded: what makes a great film, important? I still haven't got the chance to find answers and one thing came up: how is one deemed important anyway? The scale, the scope, the stakes? I found myself fascinated by one thing, then one fascination came right after another, and so on. Director-screenwriter Greta Gerwig, in this Louisa May Alcott's latest film adaptation, poses these deep-rooted thoughts about the importance of telling one's story, that the scope of sisters in their childhood and adulthood is as large as any other supposedly bigger stories. It's blunt and graceful, playful and firm, heartwarming and heartrending. Greta breaks down and analyzes Alcott's already modern writing, molding it into another form that further broadens Alcott's vision with intelligence, insight, and tenderness. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Between the stories, themes, and characters Alcott has brought, Greta finds an emotive core to sew the seams and hem the border of each parallel, allowing those separating lines to unite Alcott's intricate sense and sensibility. More than redefining its narrative structure and reharmonizing its source, Greta injects her expressive creativity into our consciousness: from introducing the characters as adults longing for their memories of childhood to giving them their bigger voices. With that amount of liberty, she alters things but the heart remains congruent. One thing to note is how Greta is not afraid to go beyond Jo's story to mirror Alcott's real-life struggle. Here, Alcott's clear-cut persona is always present and valued, not just as the distinguished writer, but a woman with her own unique, empowered thoughts—an homage in the highest form.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We're no stranger to a non-linear narrative, but Greta's interpretation conveys determined gravitas. Those specific timelines sustain specific purposes, helping us understand the endeavor that stands between chasing ambitions and the haunting memories that follow. Her interpretation shows that one's life is not merely a one-way journey where everything moves forward in a prospective canon, life is also a reflection of memories, one that could be reframed as both an introspect and a retrospect. But these characters are not always talking about big dreams, it's about the complexity and the correlation of everything: womanhood, childhood, marriage, freedom, loneliness, love, and its lack thereof. These themes are presented skilfully through her acute understanding of dynamics: often overt, at times guarded, a mud-caked allure of growing up that brings overlooked inner agitations to light.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Greta's script shows a different way of viewing things, one that we may have seen before, yet her methods of creating such lens are very distinct</span><span style="background-color: white;">—for one thing,</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> she gets the point. She gets her way around each character, giving them grounds as well as delivering us answers of "why are they here?". She simply sees them as people trying to live their lives and paints them so, creating a space between us and the characters to breathe for one moment but leaving us in one room so we can recognize each other from a near distance. We see ourselves in Saoirse Ronan's Jo: her willingness to strive for something regarded as radical is powerful yet the absence of companionship in her life is perfectly intelligible. On the other hand, we also mirror Florence Pugh's Amy as she unravels the long-buried side of her perspective, bridging a gap between a misunderstood character we thought we knew and her true native wit. How Greta embraces reality with delicacy on one end and firmness on the other has become the singularity in her art since Lady Bird—or her early collaborations with Noah Baumbach—but her reinvention of this beloved, familiar story has created a new larger surface for us to walk onto, a warm quilt for us to take time and be engrossed in this intimate life's intricacy.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Green Book plays like most movies that tackle racism from the past, an undeniably sugary, feel-good drama that everyone can’t help but adore. That’s true for many reasons. Bearing many resemblances from Driving Miss Daisy, its concept is pretty much paint-by-number: a portrayal of two polar opposites dealing with unfortunate ‘events’ that come along the way. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">This time, the roles are reversed with our two leads, Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen, taking us to a road trip bound to be bumpy and affecting. Mortensen’s Tony, with a paunch and a Bronx accent, is high-octane in his laid-back, carefree demeanor, flaunting his singularity every time those boastful talks come out of his mouth. Ali’s Don is anything but that: he’s a stoic, one that endures the long-suffering strain of being a nonconformist in his own world and the other. Reserved, detached, and deemed too sophisticated, yet portrayed with such gravity that he defines his own charm, Ali delivers what may well be his best performance to date. Put them both in one frame, and the result is as spellbinding as ever. Fueled by their warmth, humor, and strength, it’s one of those fiery dynamics that keeps us engaged, hitting most of its highly pleasing notes without even breaking a sweat.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; caret-color: rgb(153, 170, 187); line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Still, even when the dynamic duo’s effortless presence operates at a pristine level, the narrative sadly doesn’t. As funny and as delightful as it is, Green Book never walks out of its well-trodden territory with its chin up. Addressing racism is never easy, and in a year of BlacKkKlansman, Blindspotting, and The Hate U Give, Green Book shies away from tackling it right. It does try, though, but instead of plunging deeper to confront its subject, Green Book simply squishes through the swampy mud, drenched in it yet never gutsy enough to penetrate. Anchoring too much to their magnetic relationship might be their strongest and weakest link, as it eventually dwarves its already outward, simplified display of racism and disenfranchisement. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">In the end, Green Book does appear to be another case of Driving Miss Daisy: a flattening of history that pleases both sides, which works really well in that regard, a fairly typical Hollywood effort that doesn’t have anything to write home about, yet offers you a real good time that rarely any film does. Well-intentioned and endearing through and through, Green Book’s approach to its sensitive topics may be too clean-shaven and confusing at times, but its two formidable, dazzling stars still manage to overcome its rather passive outcome, as they’ll laugh, struggle, and cheer with you.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Visually ambitious and thematically grounded, As Astra goes as far as the stars yet its echoes are still reflective even from billions of miles away—well, technically we're going to Neptune, but you get the idea. An odyssey that speaks in its most poetic tongue, Ad Astra is also an introspective reverie that makes great use of its vast of nothingness to unearth a brimming sense of catharsis. Gray's direction wanders in a measured rhythm, that knows how to soar into its intense stillness. In its remote moments, you can't help but get drawn in its mighty splendor, a meditation that never asks us to ponder things, we simply—and willfully—get captivated. This science fiction is more about fiction than science itself, but as it shows in its more thrilling split seconds—from scavenging moon pirates to killer baboons in space—the whole thing is deliberately borderline silly and out of place, yet strangely enough, as Gray distances us from the world we're so familiar with, it never crosses that mindless line.<br />
<br />
Over and above its daddy issues, Gray and Gross' script dilates its premise by engaging us through our protagonist's grueling personal battle and shadows of his buried nightmares, interlocking the past and the present in a father-and-son relationship to unfold how toxic masculinity and the lack of emotional awareness is perpetuated, kept in existence through generations. Marking Brad Pitt's return to his best form, his performance as emotionally detached astronaut Roy McBride commands the entire space voyage with a different mold of self-assurance we rarely see in his usual work. He's firm and understated, distant yet intimate, all things in one. It's essentially a one-man show, where Brad Pitt is given so much scope through his bounded and restrained sense of thereof. This is not without help of the script, which deliberately dims other characters to create an inward-looking stance that allows us to descend deeper into McBride's state of mind, shying away from reality and manifesting his solitude in full display. The result, is colossal in magnitude and deep-seated in scope, a spectacle that's beautiful beyond measure and a moving journey that finds a contemplative eye in a subdued desolation, seizing attention and emotions once your head gets around its orbit.<br />

<br />
His most accessible feature may well be, Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Favourite brings in a cheeky, confrontational tug of war drenched in unrestrained seduction and tempestuous spite that’s as driven as our exquisite leading charmers. So familiar yet so uniquely newfangled, The Favourite reconstructs, borrows from the greatest yet has plenty of its own to offer, stating its historical frame with self-assured, composed elan and a flare of cynicism. As a caricature of period pieces, this Lanthimos’s latest cinematic offering puts us in an eternal triangle that blurs the line between power and loyalty, where each string-pulling goes quietly frantic and its historical centerpiece evolves into an outlandish misfit. The Favourite gives no room for black-and-white dichotomy, with screenwriters Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara painting our dramatis personæ in brass-necked, mystifying strokes.<br />
<br />
Rachel Weisz is both graceful and rock-ribbed, a natural-born poiser with unflinching, irresistible fluency in charismatic stoicism. Emma Stone is simply a delight to witness. A cross between sharp-witted ingénue and hypnotic femme fatale, she smirks in her triumph and gratifies in anything she does. Between them, there stands Olivia Colman: a naive, dewy-eyed ruler whose unfortunate tragedies have translated her into something bigger than a freakish queen who squeezes joy out of duck racing. Her 17 rabbits, representing the loss of her 17 children, are physical manifestations that reflect her darkest, most heart-rending vent of her life, defining her as more than comedic relief, but the heart that echoes humanity in bare, deep insecurity. These three take the spotlight by turns and just radiate as the focus sways back and forth between each other’s agony and glee.</div>

Lanthimos is a sharp-eyed satirist, and as they descend into a circle of hell and clashes of influence, he turns The Favourite into a whimsical c*ntfest that only beguiles and gets nastier with each political flip-flop. Even when it clearly rags on the double-dealing, wicked intentions camouflaging behind its royal grandiosity, how it places moral vacancy is clearly beside the mark. If anything, The Favourite’s fundamental mordant force glisters the brightest as they dig their graves, invoking a bewitching intricacy to untangle: who are those graves exactly for? When we get to the answer, we’re too drawn that who’s six feet under may not even matter anymore, but Lanthimos makes sure that the touchdown is as stinging as the long haul voyage, capitalizing the film’s true kernel that’s akin to All About Eve’s lingering, seismic effects.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

With the women, bare-faced, and the men, covered with makeup and sensational wigs, The Favourite makes it clear they don’t play by anyone’s rule: it’s a spin on power-hungry shouting match; snarky, kinky dangerous liaisons of even more cunning ladies, all wrapped in a tragicomedy that stirs appetite for mighty, untamed puppetry. Needless to say, not your first resort to a fact-based history lesson, but an unabatingly fun showcase of downright malice it is.<br />

Four, five, or six. That’s how many times they’ve made this story happen. Five, if you count 1932’s ‘What Price Hollywood?’ in. Six, with its Bollywood iteration ‘Aashiqui 2’ included. But like twelve notes between any octave, how we hear them depends on how they see these notes. And here, Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga digs, deeper to that recurring deep. The first hour is a sugar rush of infectious romantic undertones, and to quote Jackson himself “stuff of angels”. Cooper invests so much in their first encounter, as captivating as Gaga’s sultry rendition of La Vie en Rose and as exhilarating as Cooper’s abrasive riffs in Black Eyes, but the adrenaline peak unveils when the two collide: an intense, earnest moment that rewards audience’s—and their—longing desire in the best possible way. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the narrative takes a one-eighty, A Star is Born uncovers its true intention: a forthright depiction of substance dependence and a burlesque of today’s music industry. More than its antecedents, the script treats our two leads with delicacy and depth, as it leaves so much room for them to breathe. Cooper’s Jackson is a redefined epitome of his previous male leads’ self-destructive template. His psyche still revolves around the legacy, but it grants us something vivid and essentially, darker. Gaga’s Ally draws an underlying tie-in between Streisand’s and Garland’s Esther: part rebellious and part timid, she evokes naturalistic presence as her unabridged magnetism takes the centerpiece. In addition, Sam Elliott and Andrew Dice Clay bring strong—though brief—performances that further reinforce our two leads’ dynamics.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A Star is Born is, at core, a Hollywood tragedy, and as evidenced by its previous interpretations, it’s easily overwhelmed by soapy, or even phony remarks. Yet here, realism stands front and center. Cooper’s approach to craft conversation leaves no hollow. Their words to each other aren’t only telling, they’re revealing. Each dialogue exchange is effortlessly articulate and expressively reflective, or to put it simply: they feel real. But crafting doesn’t stop at solidifying flavors. Cooper’s direction projects a magnitude of splendor, achieved by its rhythmic yet dynamic flair between Libatique’s shaky camera movements, detailed close-ups, and well-orchestrated lights and colors. He tries to portray two worlds, one in front of and the other beyond the screen, distinctively. They’re loud and silent, burning and alienating. This decision provides a profound insight into their heads, although comes at a price, noticeably the pacing during the second act. Still, it manages to get back on its feet, as it dives into the third act and rebounds its emotional capstone. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Musically invigorating, powerfully acted, and emotionally affecting, A Star is Born is a remarkable entrance to Cooper’s natural touch of filmmaking and Gaga’s gifted sense as an actress. It’s intoxicating onstage and passionate offstage, but inside, there’s an intimate gaze into the humane sphere of fame, co-dependency, and addiction that surprisingly, still holds onto its glossy Hollywood apotheosis. And that is, a rare thing.<br />

The year 2017 was problematic in so many ways, but there's no denying that 2017 was also a phenomenal year for cinephiles everywhere. Paul Thomas Anderson came back, Steven Soderbergh revoked his plan to retire <i>à la</i> Hayao Miyazaki, a marvelous time for female filmmakers (Greta Gerwig, Dee Rees, Patty Jenkins, to Sofia Coppola), a powerful period for independent movies (which, for the most part, we have A24 to thank for), a promising mark for talented young actors (Timothée Chalamet, Saoirse Ronan, to Brooklynn Prince), and a pinnacle year for Indonesian film industry. In retrospect, I've decided to revisit 2017 once again and to see 25 movies that have caught my complete attention throughout the year—well, 20 is too tough to pick and 30 is too much work, hence a list of 25. Still, since overlooked movies are unavoidable, here are some of greatest movies of 2017 that sadly didn't make the cut.</div>

In random order: Pengabdi Setan graces Indonesian horror framework and elevates its material with atmospheric, highly effective dread; Baby Driver proves you can achieve smartly written story along with carefully constructed action sequences in one stylish picture; War for the Planet of the Apes concludes its thought-provoking arc with a heart-stirring, rightfully merited finale for the blockbuster trilogy; The Big Sick elucidates romantic narrative when love looks past cultural contrast and strips down all differences; Logan Lucky welcomes Soderbergh in Coen Brothers' touch of slick heist movie with a lot of humor punches as well as exciting idiosyncracy; the scary good, greatly scary It frightens with on-your-face terrors and shape-shifting fear; Molly's Game unites Aaron Sorkin together with Jessica Chastain in a winning race against ticking time that spits its beat relentlessly; and Wonder Woman embodies its two-word title, 'wonder' and 'woman', with heavily built valor and humane sense of optimism. Now, without further ado, let's jump right into my top picks—the first half.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts aims western</span></span> territory at a newfangled direction, incarnating lionhearted female liberation without losing grip on its unadorned western narrative. Scattered in a four-act structure that's prototypical and quintessential to its genre, director Mouly Surya registers self-determination and maturity in a gut-wrenching discovery where its dulcet true-being equally matched by its plain-spoken fortitude. All the same, the embodiment is truly well-translated by the mighty impetus of its heroines, particularly the eponymous character herself, possessing a commanding quality while striking a balance between inscrutable, nonchalant control and fierce demeanor. Catapulted by Marsha Timothy's unstoppable body of work, Surya yields mostly clear-cut diegesis with multi-layered emotions as vehicle for unfurling the film's female-centric heart, casting naturalistic vengeance along with underlying symbolic voyage within its spectacular visual palette. An indelible inquiry into gender roles, rape culture, and social oppression, Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts bears a formidable apotheosis with sass of confidence and a full streak of vigor, retaining one of today's most important discussions on the map with a cutthroat scenery of cinema.</div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>#24. A Ghost Story | Written and Directed by David Lowery</i></span></span></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A Ghost Story places brimful reliance on David Lowery, whose power inflames the unabridged film's ambition. Lowery's approach to his story is fairly unprecedented, in a figure of poetry that endures through orbit of time and yearning. It's a grueling effort to bring a story to life when the titular character barely does anything at all, but Lowery's aim stands in force with a visually telling, dismally prepossessing, and elliptically musing craftsmanship. Having a literal ghost in the eye of the storm, A Ghost Story takes the idea of helplessness into an emotional upheaval in a nowhere-near-unchallenging utterance. It's a melancholy-drenched and hope-filled cruise that appears abstruse in tranquility, but the gravity falls onto a delicately clear-cut niche: a hindsight that only walks forward, not merely a bold retrospect, but rather a deep-rooted introspect. A fully-bodied observation of loneliness and reminiscence accomplished in solicitious inclination and solitary colors, A Ghost Story is a groundbreaking arthouse answer to elegiac exploration of long-standing relics of love and loss. </span>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>#23. The Post | Directed by Steven Spielberg | Written by Liz Hannah and Josh Singer</i></span></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Post works both as an uncomprimising exposé and a pulse-throbbing suspense, finding Steven Spielberg in his ultimate form, once again. Carrying a much simpler premise than its peers—yes, I'm talking about All President's Men and Spotlight—The Post might not be the primal choice for those looking for an in-depth history-based account which intricately sweeps every side of corridor, but it captures the essence of heroism in the right place. Within the period when the press served the governed, not the governors, The Post evinces a fight-or-flight instinct in highest contentment, running against the expected and all the odds. It's anchored by the headlining performance from Meryl Streep, in which she ascends an arc that's unbelievably soaring. As one of the vital forces fortifying the resistance, her articulate rendering utters bravery in a timid presence, arising from underestimated position where the highest stakes are at. The Post ties Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep, and Tom Hanks together from a different point of view, shaping an empowered coup that offers a toweringly satisfying chronicle, a riveting journey with oozes coming from every edge. But at heart, The Post cherishes the true spirit of journalism that once was a defining march, jogging our memory about the strongest-willed courage that resides within.</span><br />

</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Posesif is a cinematic offering that examines the antithesis of romance within humane sphere, challenging taboos with guts and grit. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Bringing high-school drama as a vessel, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Posesif penetrates its rarely-discussed subject matter into conversation with trenchant precision. It's a scrutiny of possession as well as abusive relationship that looks at humans and their all around dimensions, analyzing reactions without stepping into the unduly imprudent romaticism area. Posesif opens with an outwardly steady-paced, blossoming love story, but from there, it goes nowhere but accelerates gradually through a coaster of heart-punching turning points. It is thoroughly heightened by the screen presence of its two leads, Putri Marino and Adipati Dolken, forming a bond both authentic and toxic. Marino's turn gives an astonishing depth from her emotional endurance in the most audacious backbone, whereas Dolken builds a portrait so unwaveringly spine-chilling, unfolding every page of his sheer facets without justifying any demeanor. Often devastating, inescapably daring, and shockingly thrilling, Posesif proves that there's still a room to explore for high-school drama while shedding light on its unspoken weight of detrimental possession altogether, reminding us that the onl</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">y solution to escape pernicious relationship, is in fact, by escaping.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There's a certain paradigm of a proper superhero film, and that mainly involves doing anything in big scale and all spectacle. Logan reaches what others won't do: a stripped-down self-effacing farewell story, and a heart-rending </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">one at that. </span>As a story about ageing, dying beloved superhero, Logan sets a big theme between immortality and mortality, a forceful picture of legacy that finds strange warmth along with cold tenderness amidst pathos and tragedy. <span style="font-family: inherit;">E</span>nhanced by the appearance of not one, but two claw-handed bad-asses, the action sequences<span style="font-family: inherit;"> shatter convention with non-fabricated rawness, adding attitude of pragmatism that never loses sight on its keen-edged strength. Pruning visual extravagance in exchange for bringing its candid realm into clearer focus, Logan contemplates what has always been separating these comic-book characters and normal people, and observes </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">the inner mechanism of self-discovery in somber maturity. Elevated by possibly Hugh Jackman's most powerful work to date, Dafne Keen's searingly breakneck debut, and not to mention Patrick Stewart's gut-wrenching little performance, Logan is one last combat that takes cachet through hard-nosed road with grounded subtlety, a rightfully-earned parting that's both aching and satisfying.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">One thing that Kathryn Bigelow excels at, is her masterful fluency in patience. This is what she's been doing in her cinematic style for years, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">and </span>Detroit is no exception<span style="font-family: inherit;">.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Bigelow spends almost 50 minutes to establish everything from scratch, </span>creating eagerly suspense through self-restraint early intensity<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">before suffocating itself into the middle of the havoc. Moving in conical canon</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">with </span>fond use of shaky handheld camera and desolating sound, Bigelow produces realism sense of cinematic journalism between its fact and fiction<span style="font-family: inherit;">. It's a lengthy, sometimes off-kilter, claustrophobic means to channel racial issue that's long-forgotten and as importantly demanding as any other tragic chapter in the book of American darkest history. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">It faces the real-life horror with rawness besides efficiency, keeping the discourse alive</span> with soul-crushing honesty and brutal absence of catharsis. <span style="font-family: inherit;">Yes, Detroit is meant to fire your inside anger, and it does just that without struggle: you'll be provoked, your blood will reach its boiling point, your heart will pound harder than ever. It's a horror realism of </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">one of the most upsetting history in powerful sense, devastatingly proving an alarming point in institutional racism and opression.</span></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">#19. Mudbound | Directed by Dee Rees | Written by Virgil Williams and Dee Rees</span></i></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Mudbound envelops one subplot after another, bursting at the seems with stories carrying gravity on their shoulders. Capturing the relationship between two families—one black and one white—these distinguishing streams meets the tide at a precise pinpoint, a scutiny of racism and destitution that manifests itself into an all-encompassing outlook. Sure, racism is not something new to explore in films, but Mudbound, despite its seemingly typecasted period setting, does this with a contrary to what's orthodoxically done. Patience is needed here, for Mudbound doesn't propel its hook firsthand. </span>With seamlessly leaping narratives, Dee Rees leads us through numerous stories, filled with first-rate acting, spread with little details and lyrical overtone, slowly intensifying. <span style="font-family: inherit;">A high-risk move indeed, but the outcome is poignantly rewarding. In the hand of Dee Rees, Mudbound is a grounded ensemble work. Her ability to keep the flow focused as it moves in non-linear trajectory, all while mounting its engaging friction from all directions into a well-rounded slow burn, is an outstanding achievement in storytelling. Using its attentively constructed depiction of two different families</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">—d</span>ivided by color and bound by poverty<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">—</span>Mudbound<span style="font-family: inherit;"> untangles a shattering, impactful response towards racism and its deeply damaging rooted system.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In a search of loved ones, Coco takes a giant leap by plunging deep into a journey about unearthing own self, expanding our perspective on the meaning of love, family, and compassion. The story </span>combines insightful substance, emotive storytelling, and cultural appreciation in the best kind of way: a visual-driven and music-enriched foray that still brings entertainment value to its topmost level.<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Like any Pixar films, the narrative fluorishes through stages of simple frictions mounting bigger problems, but the resolution is never easy and the process to find it is always intricate yet organic, keeping us on the edge of our seats and investing us in its genuine overtones. </span>Familiar moments<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">—</span>primarily in the big reveal<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">—a</span>re surely inevitable, but Coco manages to look past anticipation with firmly-assembled thematic storyline, eluding a cliché-ridden story even when you can see some of its twists coming. What's more surprising however, Coco, with an all-embracing plot, triumphantly overcomes this without diminishing any rewarding emotion<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">—trust me, you'll still weep anyway</span>.<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Definitely another win for Pixar, Coco creates a sublime borderline where the living crosses paths with the dead and the colors meet the tunes, offering a poignant, deeply affecting story with love and its bonds as its core.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In a year crowded with solemn movies about more solemn world problems, we deserved a little fun getaway, and Paddington 2 came just at the right time, right moment</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">—</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">with a subtle tackle on its hefty theme</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Paddington 2 acts as an epitome of the picture-perfect family adventure: it has charm, wit, grit, and it has more.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>#16. Phantom Thread | Written and Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson</i></span></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Steered by the magnetic bond from its two leads, not only do Daniel Day Lewis and Vicky Krieps command the stage, they demand the spotlight in this Paul Thomas Anderson's mark for resurgence. In his leave-taking role, Daniel Day Lewis is once again in his finest frame, now as Reynolds, a powerful, perplexing dressmaker with iron-willed artistic eye that makes him a mazelike lunacy as he's a constant uniformity. From viewers' standpoint, there stands his muse-turned-lover Vicky Krieps' Alma, trying to decipher Reynolds and the austereness he lives in, only to find her place between moonstruck love and driven desperation. More of a two-persona show than an ensemble piece, this romance endures through agony, endearment, also changes; thus turning their sparks into a cyclic turmoil of existentialism invoked by amorous manipulation and toxic obsession. Paul Thomas Anderson’s approach is slow-footed but assured, creating an efficacious power built upon observing the dynamics of tug of war between two kinds of madness striving to win over each other. Anderson explores the beauty, the ugly, and the in-betweens of puzzling temptation through their radiating chemistry, and much like his other works, Phantom Thread doesn't seek forthright realism, but rather the fantasticated fabric of our own reality, propelling a far-out take on all-consuming passion with inescapable drift of belonging that exposes a venomous, arresting romantic force that’s both distant and irresistible.</div>

<i>#15. God's Own Country | Written and Directed by Francis Lee</i></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">God's Own Country's each second is commanded by nuanced silence, demonstrating a blooming love in fewer words and bursting affection through storming liaison of filmmaking. Francis Lee's direction empowers God's Own Country to walk a scrupulous pace, impassioned when it soars and enigmatic when it hushes. Set in a rural area and told from a solitary stance, the rush of adoring authenticity ensues from Lee's keen eye for attention to progressive intimacy with the help of unpoised camerawork as well as genuine acting, achieving an inviting yet demanding romance to look at. Lucid use of extreme close-up and less-methodical angle maximizes mezmerizing performances from Josh O'Connor along with Alec Secareanu, focusing on silent gestures and shades of affection to reveal a pinnacle of graphic storytelling. But, as far as it conveys intense, growing feelings between two human beings, it also shows more about empirical inner thriving, how one self could relieve self-restraint to completely own their loving awakening. Fi</span>lled with vivid heat on top of subdued desolation, God's Own Country unwinds an eloquent mud-mantled chemistry in a <span style="font-family: inherit;">still piece of pure cinema that lets its visual language speak for itself.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Get Out begins with a bang, encapsuling the horror, deep down dread to an excruciating three-minute opening of intense discomfort which feels like going on forever yet keeps us getting involved</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">It is at that point when you go, "I'm in!"</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">—</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">and doesn't Jordan Peele deliver. But it's only the tip of an iceberg. As the truth eventually exposes itself, </span>Get Out continues to frighten with never-ending panic, building upon its race <span style="font-family: inherit;">issue cornerstone and </span>allowing nerve-wrecking fear to get its way under your skin<span style="font-family: inherit;">. </span>It's a deliciously screeching<span style="font-family: inherit;"> terror-filled chamber urging viewers to chant "get out!", all while deludingly steering us to get in. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">But, from that right-through-you sudden sprint to the paralyzing angst of sunken place, Get Out makes us realize that the true horror lies in neither its ability to shock nor terrorize you: it is in the boundless truth. It's in the capacity to upset, the disturbing reality it possesses, and the significance it brings forward about modern day racism.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Ultimately, Get Out is indeed eerily haunting. Whether you want to apply that definition to the urge it has for blood, sense of humor, its own way to grasp reality, or the unapologetically outspoken nature; there is no wrong answer. </span>An occasionally funny, blunt satire without forgetting its horror complexion, Get Out manages to achive many in a single effort.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There's always a way to preface a film and invite audience in altogether, and The Killing of a Sacred Deer does this with inquisitiveness and sharp simplicity. With grandiose classical tune humming over a close-up of beating heart, it's a shot that's brilliantly sedating, enough to tell us that we're in for an intriguingly strange excursion. </span>Loosely based on a Greek mythology, Yorgos Lanthimos <span style="font-family: inherit;">translates its fabled premise into his own language of </span>perplexing ethics, schismatic sacrifice, and back-breaking choices.

The dialogue is long and intentionally descriptive, sometimes even too detailed that these lines don't </span>particularly <span style="font-family: inherit;">have to</span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">be in parallel with the context of storytelling. The key, however, rests in Lanthimos' discreet direction and his cast's ice-cold firmness, forging an uncanniness that draws us in enticingly. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">n devilishly measured motion, the camera work </span></span>keeps viewers off-balance yet aware of incoming viciousness, <span style="font-family: inherit;">turning </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">itself into its own 'living' character </span>as it <span style="font-family: inherit;">glides and always follows a</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">t an angle either too low or too high</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> A pure ingenuity of foreign darkness, The Killing of A Sacred Deer is a pitch-black folklore</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> fathomed in </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">provocative </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">rhythm, intentionally stilted diction, harrowing tune, and outlandish charm.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Really, t</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">here's no stranger thing than this.</span><br />

<br />
Out of every great thing happened to the cinema this year: a musical comedy coming from the mind of a young auteur, a dramatic play adaptation helmed by two most respected Hollywood veterans, a neo-western heist-crime tale of loss and love, an empowering French revenge scheme from a rape survivor, to a highly entertaining animated film that speaks highly about a sickening corner of world's society, then there comes this 3-hour-long German-Austrian comedy built of bizarreness and lunacy. It involves a giant furry costume, an awkward naked party, an alter ego with a cheap wig and fake teeth, public farting, and the list goes on. Yet, this seemingly pointless parade of silliness has transformed into something unexpected. A festival darling, a critically acclaimed comedy, and a current top contender for Oscar's Best Foreign Language Film, Toni Erdmann easily has it all to join the best of the year's best. But, with such a high level of idiosyncrasy that's only enticing to certain viewers, could it actually make the cut?<br />
<br />
Winfried Conradi (Peter Simonischek) is a piano teacher and a father of one, Ines (Sandra Hüller), whom he doesn't see much because of her busy professional life. After the death of his old dog, he tries to reconnect with her once again. He pays her a surprise visit in Bucharest, but instead, Ines is annoyed by her father's practical jokes involving corny pranks and jabs at her routine lifestyle of meetings and paperwork. Realizing their relationship doesn't work at all, Winfried quits her life only to come back as Toni Erdmann: Winfried's flashy alter ego. Disguised in a tacky suit, weird wig and fake teeth, Toni barges into Ines' work circle, claiming to be her CEO's life coach. As Toni, Winfried doesn't hold back, and Ines meets the challenge. The harder they push, the closer they become. In all the madness, Ines begins to see that her eccentric father deserves a place in her life.<br />

<br />
How many times have we ever witnessed practical jokes in films? From today's modern cinema, we've seen those japes in Neighbors and its follow-up Sorority Rising, or we can go back to the 70s, where its horrifying and cruel prank of blood's pig on Carrie White in Carrie still haunts you to sleep. But no other than Toni Edrmann could actually pull it the same way it does. Toni Erdmann's thorough tone is built of chuckling and giggling, but the film itself retains to live up to its potential by playing it right: they go deeper than that. These characters thrive as the humor kicks in, making the laughs essential. Instead of being cherries on top, they are used to create dynamics in every personality, creating frictions and bringing them closer.<br />
<br />
It doesn't stop there. The use of its offbeat, quirky humor is simply brilliant. As a way to unearth its core, the quirkiness might not be appealing to some, but writer-director Maren Ade, in the cleverest way possible, manages to maintain its humor down-to-earth, even with such a great amount of eccentricity, the film relates to each viewer rather easily. This impact is a result of Ade's well-written and carefully constructed script. The comedy isn't made for entertainment purposes only, it's the ultimate key to gain its main story arc, as these comical aspects capture the soul and the spirit of the story perfectly. Instead of overshadowing each other, the humor takes a big part in unfolding its dramatic portion, cloaking the anguish, and revealing its one true aim: the heart.<br />

<br />
Spanning almost 3 hours of runtime, oddly enough, Toni Erdmann never seems to be overlong. Maren Ade is without a doubt capable of captaining this gem to be a pleasant, flowy ride with just the right beat of pacing. Yes, it's a segmented piece of comedy, but it's never tiring to see these two father and daughter contradict one another: from almost ruining his daughter's chance of a business deal, heating up over firing employees, to a strange naked party involving giant furry costume and well, naked people. In its 3 hour duration, Ade shows her brilliance as she carries out not only an amusing flick but inside: a humane look of a bittersweet family relationship. It demands our patience, and for sure is something easier said than done, but its offer, in the end, is in no way rejectable: a rewarding experience.<br />
<br />
As we dive deep down through the story, the camera tightens the mood, building up its relationship to a result that's both delicate and genuine. Gradually, the feeling of attachment is compiled through protagonists' frictions and crossroads in basically anything: a sense of humor, thoughts, to simply the feel of unease towards each other. On paper, not much significance is shown here, but in Ade's cold hands, she successfully shows that a fully realized story is coming from its fundamental core and not its biggest revelation. It's not about creating one defining important moment that affects the whole narrative, but it's coming from those simple things without forgetting their essence: it could be as simple and as absurd as a visit to someone's easter egg dyeing party, or even belting out Whitney Houston's Greatest Love of All in full energy. Their dynamic chemistry is after all defined by these pivotal aspects, creating a nuanced, authentic tone throughout the film.<br />

<br />
Toni Erdmann incongruously opens with a little scene involving several personas of Conradi's. It's a strange welcome and hilarious introduction to our main protagonist and the film's ambitious concept. Winfried Conradi, in his everyday form, is a music teacher, a divorced father of one, that despite his jocular personality is still an ordinary man. In his ugly cheap wig and obvious fake teeth, he is Toni Erdmann, a life coach and a consultant who is only a disguise to reconnect with his daughter. Not only are his actions hilarious, but also genuinely moving as his doings contribute greatly to the film's quintessence. The line "she's hardly at home anymore, so I hired a substitute daughter," might come across as both the funniest and most sarcastic joke of the year, but at the bottom, it's a call of sorrow revealed in such ingenuity.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
Filled with sarcasm and irony, Toni Erdmann also works as a satirical portrait of the idealistic society and the unexpected anomaly against those considered normal. Often against conventions, seeking the perfection and living under pressure, the youth is represented by Ines, a workaholic whose phone becomes her primary need, who is constrained to be super nice around the people she actually loathes, and whose professional achievement becomes her life goal: she's not under anyone's pressure but hers. She chooses to avoid her personal life, seems to misunderstand her father's presence (actually, so do we), but deep down with her father around, she becomes this individual she always resents: an actual person. Her father anyway, is a father who never fulfills what is expected of him. A loving, but a misunderstood person whose persona might appear out of place to some. They both struggle as a person, and while the former tries to escape her routine life, the latter tries to be comprehended, and through Ade's magnificent writing, she underlines both into a true-to-life relationship of theirs.<br />

<br />
As a practical joker and a father Winfried Conradi, and as an eccentric alter ego Toni Erdmann, Peter Simonischek brings his A-game. We don't really see this kind of performance really often: a socially awkward who is glowing in his charisma and sense of humor. While the script deliberately provides multidimensional causes behind his every action, he manages to accomplish something larger-than-life, a believable with often moving result. Sandra Hüller also deserves equal praise, with a performance of a hard-working businesswoman, she is a wonder to behold. Through her manners, her loneliness is crystal clear, she's an ambitious person who basically avoids any other social relation unless it's intended for the benefit of her business favor. They display something that's not only engrossing but also darkly humorous and rather affectionate while being figures who are estranged from their own life.<br />
<br />
Lengthy with a cause, Toni Erdmann tells you a tale of silliness with depth, that's not only profound but also charming and delightful on its surface. While providing hoots of laughter, Toni Erdmann is still a sincere heart in full display, a tender and unconventional approach to human relationship without even masquerading under anyone's sentimentality. Surely, this 3-hour little piece of life will take you back to the most real human nature and doesn't hold back in giving us its fruitful and fulfilling inwardness. Surrounded by its solid cast, Toni Erdmann puts its characters into a fascinating trip of sardonic tightrope served in a biting sense. Even if it's not everyone's cup of tea, the outcome is still an immaculate and multifaceted character study, a beautiful, intimate, and dazzling frame of life that's exceptionally written and wonderfully acted with brilliant use of humor in agony, a heartfelt homage to love and its bonds.<br />

tahun depan, dengan pembawa acara The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon, sebagai<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>host.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></i>Pada kategori Best Motion Picture</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"> –
Drama, Hacksaw Ridge, Hell or High Water, Machester by the Sea, dan Moonlight
berhasil menduduki 4 nominasi, sementara Lion yang sebelumnya tidak terlalu
diperhitungkan juga mampu meraih nominasi, menyingkirkan kontender lain yang
dianggap lebih kuat, seperti Fences dan Silence. Sementara Fences masih mampu
meraih 2 nominasi di kategori Best Actor (Denzel Washington) dan Best
Supporting Actress (Viola Davis), Silence secara mengejutkan harus rela pulang
tanpa nominasi kali ini, bahkan bagi Martin Scorsese maupun Liam Neeson. Di
lain sisi, Nocturnal Animals mendapatkan apresiasi lebih dari HFPA, dengan
munculnya nama Tom Ford dalam Best Director dan Aaron Taylor-Johnson dalam Best
Supporting Actor. Sementara dari ranah film komedi dan musikal, 20th Century
Woman, Florence Foster Jenkins, Deadpool, dan peraih nominasi terbanyak kali
ini (7 nominasi), La La Land, berhasil masuk daftar nominasi film terbaik tahun
ini. </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Rachel Woods, Claire Foy, dan Winona Ryder. Hal yang sama juga terjadi dalam
Best Supporting Actor, dimana nama unggulan seperti Kit Harington dan Tobias
Menzies gagal masuk daftar. Sementara series gagasan Ryan Murphy, The People v.

<i>I'm back! </i>Setelah <i>break </i>cukup panjang, kini saatnya saya untuk menutup <i>annual list </i>ini dengan rangkuman film-film terbaik dari yang terbaik. Di <a href="http://rizky-muzakki.blogspot.com/2015/02/part-1-2014-25-best-movies.html">bagian pertama</a>, kita telah melihat <i>blockbuster </i>seperti X-Men Days of Future Past, Guardians of the Galaxy, hingga Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Ada pula <i>oscar-nominated films </i>layaknya The Theory of Everything sampai The Imitation Game. Jangan lupakan karya-karya <i>independet </i>alias <i>indie </i>dari Coherence hingga Calvary, dan karya dari tanah Eropa, Force Majeure. Kali ini, akan ada lebih banyak film berbahasa asing (di luar bahasa Inggris), beberapa komedi, tentunya drama, dan juga, lebih banyak thriller (!). <i>Well, here they are!</i><br />

Dengan 2 karakter utama yang saling bertolakbelakang di lini depan, penonton diajak menelusuri sebuah perjalanan pencarian identitas diri. Melewati masa lalu, membuka luka lama, dan menentukan masa depan mereka, Ida tak hanya mampu memberikan sebuah kisah pencarian jati diri yang solid, namun juga tak biasa dalam hal penyampaiannya. Tersaji dalam resolusi 3:1, visualnya begitu cantik dan tak biasa, <i>but overall its the mysterious and gloomy atmosphere that haunts the audience</i>. Ida adalah definisi sempurna untuk sesuatu yang cantik namun menyakitkan. Tapi, dari segalanya, ada satu yang sangat perlu untuk di-<i>highlight. </i>Ya, karena untuk menyajikan semua itu, ia hanya butuh waktu yang begitu singkat: 82 menit.</div>

<i>I have never watched a film that felt this real.</i> Ya, ia mengangkat isu vital dengan kisah yang begitu relevan terhadap masa kini. Di<i> title role</i>, ada Marion Cotillard, menampilkan salah satu penampilan terbaik dalam karirnya setelah La Vie en Rose dan Rust and Bone. Ia adalah seorang istri sekaligus ibu yang tengah depresi berat, berusaha bangkit dan mempertahankan apa yang ia miliki. Drama yang memikat dalam kesederhanaan, cukup menyakitkan namun tak pernah meninggalkan <i>human spirit </i>yang film ini bawa. Sebuah komentar sosial luar biasa dan karakter studi kompleks, siapa sangka mampu tersaji dengan begitu baik dalam satu kisah yang amat sederhana?</div>

<i>#10. Nightcrawler | Directed and </i><i>Written by</i><i> by Dan Gilroy</i></blockquote>
Mengulik kisahnya, Nightcrawler bagi saya mengingatkan terhadap sebuah klasik tahun 1976, Network. Mereka sama-sama mengungkit media, orang-orang di baliknya, serta bagaimana kelamnya dunia ini. <i>But well, story wise, </i>keduanya memang benar-benar berbeda. Nightcrawler mengajak penonton menyelami industri gelap di balik media, lewat kepala seorang '<i>nightcrawler'. </i>Diperankan dengan tanpa cacat oleh Jake Gyllenhaal,<i> he once again shows he’s an actor with a wider range than you expected, and easily brings one of the best villains in years. </i>Gyllenhaal seketika berubah menjadi pria 'menakutkan', <i>morally qustionable, </i>karakter kunci yang membuat siapapun bergidik. Sementara Dan Gilroy, sukses membawa sebuah kisah yang intens, yang tanpa disadari juga trut menghadirkan sebuah satirikal drama ke dalam sajian thriller kelam yang penuh obsesi. <i>Gripping, dark, and chilling, Nightcrawler crawls us with its maximum vivacity.</i><br />

<i>#9. <a href="http://rizky-muzakki.blogspot.com/2014/06/review-grand-budapest-hotel-2014.html">The Grand Budapest Hotel </a>| Directed by Wes Anderson | Written by </i><span style="text-align: justify;"><i>Wes Anderson and Hugo Guinness</i></span></blockquote>
Datang dari otak seorang Wes Anderson, membuat <a href="http://rizky-muzakki.blogspot.com/2014/06/review-grand-budapest-hotel-2014.html">The Grand Budapest Hotel</a> bukanlah sebuah karya biasa. Masih dengan kemasan <i>quirky</i> yang telah lama menjadi <i>style</i> sang sineas, The Grand Budapest Hotel adalah komedi yang segar, benar-benar berbeda dari komedi yang marak saat ini. Menontonnya seperti berada di plante yang benar-benar berbeda, visualnya <i>eye candy</i> dan imajinasinya tingkat tinggi. Dramanya penuh cinta dan memikat sekalipun sederhana, dengan humor <i>offbeat</i>, menarik, nonsense, serta karakter-karakter eksentrik yang mudah dicintai, <i>The Grand Budapest Hotel is a whole new level on comedy: a genius work without trying too much to be one.</i></div>

<a href="http://rizky-muzakki.blogspot.com/2014/06/review-under-skin-2014.html">Under the Skin</a> mungkin merupakan tipe film <i>that you either love it or hate it. It's segmented, yes, </i>namun tentu ia tidak <i>segmented </i>dalam bagaimana cara seorang Jonathan Glazer mengemas Under the Skin<i>. </i>Didasari novel berjudul sama, Glazer berhasil menjadikan Under the Skin sebagai<i> </i>adaptasi lain dari yang lain. Mengadaptasi premis novelnya, kemudian sisanya adalah kemampuan Glazer. Ia mengambil banyak influens dari para <i>filmmaker </i>berpengaruh dunia seperti Stanley Kubrick hingga david Lynch, dan hasilnya, sebuah kisah yang tak biasa, dingin, <i>haunting, yet effective. Anyway, let's talk about Scarlett Johansson's mesmerizing performance.</i> Seduktif,<i> </i>misterius, <i>she's the real definition of femme fatale. Easily her best performance yet.</i> Dengan performa maksimal dari Glazer maupun Johansson, <i>Under the Skin takes alien invasion themed films to another level. Clever, boundless, thought provoking, while beautifully done and precisely made, Under the Skin is a timeless masterpiece.</i><br />

<i>David Fincher, is surely one of the best filmmaker with a great filmography.</i> Ya, ia memang punya rapor merah dengan Alien 3, tapi lihat apa yang ia hasilkan setelahnya: Se7en, Fight Club, The Social Network, <i>and now, this. </i>Dengan sang novelis sendiri sebagai penulis naskah, <a href="http://rizky-muzakki.blogspot.com/2014/10/review-gone-girl-2014.html">Gone Girl</a> berhasil menjadi salah satu film paling <i>sinting </i>tahun ini. Rosamund Pike berlakon sebagai pemain kunci, <i>the Amazing Amy,</i> misterius sekaligus <i>charming. </i>Membuat penonton bergidik meskipun tak ada yang menyangkal <i>that she is our favorite character of the year. </i>Kisahnya adalah 'romantisme' paling gila tahun ini, dengan penceritaan maju-mundur, dihiasi banyak kejutan yang mampu memutarbalikkan semuanya. Sementara Fincher membuat Gone Girl begitu kelam, intens, sekaligus membawa Gone Girl <i>at its maximum entertaining point. </i>'Sakit', penuh ketegangan, dan kejutan, <i>there is no way that we're going to ignore this another Fincher's masterwork.</i></div>

Melalui karakter-karakter ini pula, sutradara mengajak penonton untuk melebarkan perspektif mereka, menelusuri dunia mereka yang merupakan miniatur dari sistem kesenjangan sosial. <i>It's a talking pictures, a talkative one but somehow feels very quite, provokes mind with its very clever subject while giving audience one of the best cinematic journey they've ever had.</i></div>

<i>This is something that's not really new, but somehow it feels really fresh.</i> Ya, Whiplash adalah sebuah film tentang musik, menelusuri seorang remaja 19 tahun dan obsesinya terhadap drum. Terdengar bukan suatu premis yang menawarkan hal baru, namun apa yang Damien Chazelle lakukan untuk mengemas Whiplash adalah hal yang menyegarkan. Intens, tapi ini bukanlah sebuah thriller. "Menakutkan", tapi ini juga bukanlah sebuah horor. Chazelle mampu membawa Whiplash menjadi film musik yang membawa genre sejenis pada standar yang tak biasanya. Di sini, kekuatan setiap instrumen nada benar-benar dimanfaatkan sebaik-baiknya. Sebuah gabungan antara perjalanan sinematik dan permainan musik kelas wahid yang tak ada tandingannya. <i>A pitch perfect.</i></div>

Birdman mungkin terdengar seperti kisah superhero,<i> well that's not entirely true</i>. Memang ada sedikit tentang itu, tapi apa yang ingin diungkapkan Birdman bukanlah sang superhero, melainkan orang dibaliknya. Ya, ia menelusuri kisah seorang aktor yang ingin kembali mengklaim kejayaan masa lalunya, sembari memberikan humor satir yang menyentuh berbagai isu. Lewat tangan dingin Iñárritu, Birdman berhasil menjadi film paling imajinatif tahun ini, mengaburkan batas antara fantasi dan realita dengan sempurna, dengan <i>career-defining performance </i>dari Michael Keaton dan segala level teknikal yang dihadirkan secara brilian. <i>Some say it's pretentious, while some others say it's too ambitious, well not for me. </i>Selama dua jam, Iñárritu menyajikan dunia teater versinya sendiri lewat perspektif yang kocak, unik, <i>puzzling, surreal, </i>satirikal, sekaligus penuh nilai filosofis. <i>Visually dazzling, narratively imaginative, perfectly casted, and entirely spectacular, Birdman is one of a kind, a</i><i> tour de force!</i><br />

Sementara itu, <b>The Lego Movie</b> bukan hanya bekerja dengan baik sebagai ajang promosi, tapi sebagai satu paket yang kocak, menghibur, dan emosional. Ada pula babak kedua The Raid, <b>The Raid 2,</b> kali ini dengan <i>scope </i>yang lebih luas, karakter lebih banyak, kekerasan yang lebih membuat siapapun bergidik, dan keseruan yang tanpa henti. Tak ada satupun yang rasanya dapat menyangkal bahwa sampai kapanpun, <i>Doraemon is everybody's childhood, </i>dan kehadiran <b>Stand by Me Doraemon</b> mempertegas hal itu. Dan, siapa yang tidak menyukasi sebuah premis kreatif yang gila dengan kadar <i>silliness </i>tinggi? <i>With just right direction, </i><b>Snowpiercer</b> berhasil mengangkat premis gilanya ke dalam kemasan <i>dystopian </i>bertensi tinggi, dengan kegilaan yang tinggi pula, tentunya.</div>

<i>#25. Maps to the Stars | Directed by David Cronenberg | Written by Bruce Wagner</i></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Mocking the cruel industry with class, that's exactly how i can describe Maps to the Stars perfectly.</i> Ya, setelah Cosmopolis yang... hm, aneh, David Cronenberg kembali dengan Maps to the Stars. Sebuah karya yang memperolok Hollywood dengan mengangkat isu-isu itu sendiri ke permukaan, dan itu adalah langkah yang sukses. Kemasannya dark, twisted, dan disturbing, Cronenberg membawa kita ke sebuah kisah mengenai pundi-pundi dolar, popularitas, dan rasa dengki, kegilaan yang luar biasa. Dilingkupi oleh karakter-karakter yang mungkin merupakan sekumpulan orang-orang terburuk di planet bumi, <i>Maps to the Stars is haunting yet disturbing, </i>sebuah penggambaran kejam mengenai sebuah industri yang tak kalah kejamnya.</div>

Siapa bilang untuk membuat sebuah <i>science-fiction </i>berkualitas dibutuhkan biaya besar dan visual maha megah? Jika anda masih berpendapat demikian, pikirkan lagi. Ya, adalah James Ward Byrkit, lewat karya debutnya Coherence mampu mematahkan stigma itu. Dibalik budget minimumnya, Coherence adalah <i>sci-fi </i>ambisius, menawarkan kisah kompleks yang melibatkan berbagai anomali yang membutuhkan banyak pemikiran dalam mencerna tiap kisahnya. <i>Mostly improvised, </i>Coherence berhasil menyajikan sebuah pengalaman sinematik yang tak terlupakan, dengan konflik yang tiap menitnya makin melebar, ia menebar tanda tanya besar di setiap perisitiwa. Hasilnya, adalah sebuah anomali yang menarik dan penuh intrik, menghasilkan percabangan kisah yang penuh dengan segala kemungkinan, berlapis-lapis kejutan, dan berbagai potongan misteri yang begitu menarik. Bravo!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bagi <i>sci-fi geek </i>yang mengharapkan untuk dihibur semaksimal mungkin, maka Predestination tepat bagi anda. Narasinya non-linear, bergerak maju-mundur, memberikan anda sedikit demi sedikit petunjuk untuk dapat memahami misteri kisahnya. Memanfaatkan perjalanan waktu yang telah menjadi lumrah di ranah <i>sci-fi, </i>Predestination menawarkan lebih dari sebatas perjalanan lintas waktu. Ia memiliki lapisan kejutan yang mampu membuat <i>time-traveling </i>ini lebih memukau. Di inti kisah, ada Sarah Snook yang istimewa. Paruh awalnya, kita akan dikenalkan dengan karakter Snook, di mana kita akan diajak menyelami masa lalunya yang kelam dengan penampilan luar biasanya. Kemudian, di paruh sisanya, Predestination memberikan penonton berbagai kejutan, <i>twists and turns </i>yang mampu membalikkan kisah secara drastis, membuka lembar-lembar rahasianya, lengkap dengan intensitas tinggi yang mampu menjaga anda agar tetap setia duduk menikmatinya. <i>Super fun!</i></div>

Lewat <a href="http://rizky-muzakki.blogspot.com/2014/05/review-x-men-days-of-future-past-2014.html">X-Men: Days of Future Past</a>, X-Men kembali membuktikan eksistensinya di tengah serbuan para karakter Marvel Comics lain seperti Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, hingga si individualis Spider-Man. Tajam, namun menyenangkan. Garang, namun emosional. Ini jelas bukan lah kualitas Bryan Singer yang kita temukan pada Superman Returns apalagi Jack the Giant Slayer, ini adalah Bryan Singer baru yang pernah kita lihat di karya-karya terdahulunya. Didampingi departemen teknikal kelas wahid dan labelnya yang serba lebih; lebih besar hingga lebih kacau (<i>in a good way</i>), X-Men kali ini bukan hanya sebuah pengeruk dollar<i> </i>di tengah musim panas,<i> </i>di saat yang sama ia juga menawarkan keseruan tak terbatas dalam drama mutannya yang kompleks dan penuh pemikiran serta emosi, <i>pacing </i>cepat dan tepat dari Bryan Singer, sampai <i>mega-cast</i> bertabur bintang. <i>Epic!</i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dituturkan dalam perspektif seorang wanita, Wild memang memukau dari segala sisi. (Lagi-lagi) sebuah biopik, namun kali ini, ini bukan hanya sekedar menelusuri kehidupan tokoh nyata, namun lebih dari itu, Wild adalah kisah pencarian jati diri, <i>coming of age</i> yang bukan hanya melibatkan perjalanan fisik yang melelahkan, namun juga perjalanan emosional yang begitu kaya. Kemasannya mungkin akan mengingatkan kita pada The Iron Lady, dengan penuturan biopik secara non-linear, namun kali ini dengan pengemasan yang jauh lebih matang dan efektif. Wild memang bukan film yang nyaman untuk dipandang, ia eksplisit dan penuh penggambaran yang menyakitkan, namun dibaliknya, Wild adalah karya emosional, jujur, dan tak pernah gagal dalam menyampaikan visinya.</div>

Di samping sisi teknikal yang rumit, <a href="http://rizky-muzakki.blogspot.com/2014/10/review-guardians-of-galaxy-2014.html">Guardians of the Galaxy</a> juga bukanlah tipikal kisah superhero biasa, menjadikan narasinya bukanlah suatu hal yang dapat diremehkan begitu saja.

Berawal dari tokoh anti-hero yang eksentrik hingga penggunaan musik yang begitu krusial, <a href="http://rizky-muzakki.blogspot.com/2014/10/review-guardians-of-galaxy-2014.html">Guardians of the Galaxy</a> meraih tawa serta 'hatinya'. Secara tak langsung James Gunn berhasil dalam menggebrak dinding film <i>superhero, </i>menghancurkan <i>stereotype </i>yang kini telah lama melekat pada film serupa, menjadikan <a href="http://rizky-muzakki.blogspot.com/2014/10/review-guardians-of-galaxy-2014.html">Guardians of the Galaxy</a> sebagai angin segar di tengah terjangan karakter pahlawan yang terlalu serius, salah satu film paling mengagumkan tahun ini. Dengan aksi memukau, lengkap dengan jajaran efek visual yang tak perlu diragukan lagi, Guardians of the Galaxy bukan hanya sebuah kisah superhero berbalut budget besar, ia juga sebuah kisah emosional sekaligus penuh tawa yang berbalut hati yang besar. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apa yang paling mencolok dari Foxcatcher? Saya rasa, mungkin semua akan setuju bahwa jawabannya adalah hidung prostetik Steve Carell yang selalu dibicarakan itu. Tapi, sebenarnya tidak juga. Jangan lupakan bahwa dibaliknya, ada penampilan terbaik Steve Carell sampai saat ini, menjadi tokoh nyata, bilyuner John du Pont yang bergaya eksentrik. Diambil dari kisah nyata, Foxcatcher diisi oleh drama yang memikat, sebuah biopik lambat, yang berakhir dengan emosional, diisi bukan hanya satu penampilan mumpuni saja dari Steve Carell, tapi sebuah career defining performance dari Channing Tatum serta the oscar nominated work dari Mark Ruffallo, oh, dan tak ketinggalan penampilan kecil namun memukau dari Vanessa Redgrave. Dari awal hingga ia berakhir, Foxcatcher sukses dalam menghidupkan kembali melankoli yang tak bisa dipercaya benar-benar terjadi. <i>Haunting, gloomy, terribly sad, and devastating, Foxcatcher will definitely leave you speechless, or probably, even breathless.</i></div>

<i>#17. The Imitation Game | Directed by Morten Tyldum | Written by Graham Moore</i></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Di atas kertas, kisahnya sendiri sudah sangat menarik. Bagaimana jika diangkat menjadi sebuah film? Maka hasilnya adalah The Imitation Game. Ia mampu memanfaatkan<i> star benefit</i> dari Benedict Cumberbatch dengan sebaik mungkin, sementara Graham Moore selaku penulis berhasil menghasilkan sebuah naskah yang begitu baik, menyajikan biopik yang mampu mengajak penonton menyelami otak seorang jenius dengan segala upayanya dalam memenangkan peperangan lewat otak dan bukan otot, selagi ia berusaha melawan tekanan batin dari orientasi seksualnya yang berbeda dengan kebanyakan. The Imitation game bukan hanya berbicara tentang kisah pribadi bapak komputer modern, ia membawa penonton dalam kisah heroisme yang jauh berbeda dari apa yang selama ini kita kenal, Tentang bagaimana sekelompok orang mampu melumpukan atau bahkan membawa kemenangan besar pada satu negara, ya, dan sangat mungkin untuk mengukir sebuah sejarah besar dan penting bagi dunia. Menegangkan, menarik, emosional, serta diisi oleh akting kelas satu, skrip yang solid, hingga pengarahan yang kokoh. The Imitation Game adalah karya yang impresif, 'haram' untuk terlewatkan.</div>

Datang dari the mastermind of Paul Thomas Anderson, adaptasi novel karya Thomas Pynchon, menghasilkan suatu kombinasi yang mengagumkan. Sebuah psychedelic noir yang eksentrik dari segala perspektif. Aneh, benar-benar aneh, dan tak mudah untuk dicerna, Inherent Vice menghadirkan sebuah komedi hitam dalam kisah kriminal yang intelijen, yang uniknya hadir dengan pengemasan yang tak terlampau serius. Sekalipun bukanlah karya yang bisa dinikmati setiap orang, namun Inherent Vice jelas menjadi salah satu yang terbaik tahun ini, meski bukanlah yang terbaik dari sang sutradara. <i>Stylish, creative, and hypnotic with a mesmerizing mystery and a few chuckles here and there, Inherent Vice is no There Will Be Blood, but it's still a fresh take from the mastermind.</i></div>

<i>#14. Force Majeure | Directed and Written by Ruben Östlund</i></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Datang dari negeri Skandinavia, Swedia, Force Majeure adalah satu dari sekian banyak drama berkelas yang sederhana namun begitu<i> </i>istimewa<i> </i>dari tanah Eropa. Selama 120 menit, Force Majeure menyajikan drama tentang bagaimana sebuah perisitiwa mampu mempengaruhi kehidupan manusia. Bukan hanya kehidupan seseorang, namun mampu merambat ke kehidupan orang-orang terdekatnya. Force Majeure bertumpu pada interaksi tiap orang, dan bagaimana mereka bergulat dengan masalah yang kian lama melebar. Relatif sulit untuk ditonton, namun kisahnya yang humanis dan dapat terjadi pada kapan, dimana, dan siapa saja mampu membuat Force Majeure dapat akrab dengan siapa pun. Dengan kemasan sederhana, Force Majeure berhasil menuturkan salah satu kisah paling <i>affecting </i>tahun ini, ia unik berkat kisahnya yang tak berfokus pada tragedi tertentu, melainkan menyorot bagaimana hubungan antar karakternya mampu goyah karenanya. Sesuai judulnya, Force Majeure nyatanya bukan hanya menuturkan kisah yang terjadi di luar kendala manusia, namun lebih dari itu, ia mengisahkan bagaimana mereka kembali untuk menata segala hal yang telah kacau balau, kembali mengendalikannya.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Diawali degan Rise of the Planet of the Apes yang membuat penonton terkejut akan kualitasnya, kini ada sekuelnya, <a href="http://rizky-muzakki.blogspot.com/2014/07/review-dawn-of-planet-of-apes-2014.html">Dawn of the Planet of the Apes</a>, yang hadir dengan kualitas yang bahkan jauh melebihi pencapaian Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Sebuah <i>blockbuster </i>cerdas, hadir bukan hanya dengan efek visual yang membelalakkan mata, namun dengan kisah yang emosional, sebuah pertempuran dan perebutan spesies superior yang menegangkan sekaligus cerdas. Ia menolak bermain di area aman, sebaliknya lebih memilih untuk mengawinkan unsur-unsur seimbang antara kulit dengan isi, melebur kisah intelek dengan visual megah, membawa isu kemanusiaan yang terbungkus dalam sebuah revolusi di tengah evolusi.<br />

<span lang="id">Malam penganugrahan bagi industri film Hollywood telah resmi digelar, itu artinya selesai sudah <i>awards season </i>kali ini. Dipandu oleh Neil Patrick Harris, Birdman berhasil keluar dengan 4 buah Oscar, termasuk untuk Best Picture, Best Director, dan Best Original Screenplay, menjadikan <span style="text-align: start;">Alejandro Gonzales Iñárritu dengan</span> sukses memborong 3 piala dalam semalam. Sementara itu, The Grand Budapest Hotel juga mampu menyamai raihan total Oscar Birdman dengan kemenangan besarnya di berbagai bidang teknis. Di belakangnya, secara mengejutkan ada Whiplash, yang mampu membawa pulang 3 Oscar, termasuk Best Supporting Actor untuk J.K. Simmons. Sementara untuk Best Actor, dimenangkan oleh Eddie Redmayne, setelah kompetisi sengitnya dengan Michael Keaton dalam Birdman.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Di ranah Best Supporting Actress, seperti yang telah banyak diprediksikan, dibawa pulang oleh Patricia Arquette dalam film Boyhood, dan jangan lupakan <i>speech</i>-nya yang mampu membuat seorang Meryl Streep berdecak kagum. Dan, setelah sekian tahun, <i>finally Julianne Moore won an Oscar! </i>Setelah 4 nominasi dan 4 kali pulang dengan tahan hampa, di nominasi kelimanya, Moore akhirnya mampu membawa pulang sang piala emas lewat perannya sebagai penderita Alzheimer dalam Still Alice. Di dua kategori animasi, Walt Disney Animation menang besar. Big Hero 6 mampu membawa pulang Oscar untuk Best Animated Feature, sementara film pembukanya sendiri, Feast, juga mampu menyabet Best Animeted Short Film. Berikut daftar lengkap para pemenang Oscar tahun ini. <i>See you next year!</i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>I know it's a bit late, but still better than never. Finally, it's here! </i>Birdman dan The Grand Budapest Hotel, imbang dengan total raihan 9 nominasi, diikuti 8 nominasi oleh The Imitation Game, serta Boyhood dan American Sniper yang masing-masing meraih 6 nominasi. <i>And as usual, it's still full of snubs and surprises. </i>Kekecewaan terbesar? Gone Girl. Ya, salah satu film terbaik tahun ini, dengan salah satu <i>screenplay </i>paling <i>well-written, </i>dinahkodai oleh sineas sebesar David Fincher, dan<i> </i>ada wanita karismatik di lini depannya. Namun, secara mengejutkan, sekalipun mendapatkan nominasi Best Actress bagi Rosamund Pike, ia gagal untuk mendapatkan nominasi lain, termasuk untuk Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, dan Best Score. Bukan hanya Gone Girl yang <i>almost left shut out, </i>tapi hal yang sama juga dialami Selma, yang hanya mendapatkan 2 nominasi untuk Best Picture dan Best Original Song, sementara kesempatan Academy Awards membuat sejarah baru, yaitu menominasikan sutradara wanita kulit hitam pertama, Ava Duvernay, dalam kategori Best Director juga akhirnya tak terjadi. Di kategori akting, kita kehilangan beberapa nama. Di mana Jake Gyllenhaal, Jessica Chastain, Jennifer Aniston, dan Amy Adams? Meskipun saya kecewa terhadap absennya Gyllenhaal dan Chastain tahun ini, namun rupanya absennya nama Adams dan Aniston membawa kita pada salah satu kejutan<i>.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ya,<i> the most pleasant surprise of the night: Marion Cotillard got recognized! </i>Ya, siapa sangka di kategori Best Actress, dimana terdapat 4 wanita yang sebelumnya dianggap akan secara pasti mendapatkan nominasi dan meninggalkan satu slot tersisa yang saat itu dianggap akan menjadi <i>either Jennifer Aniston or Amy Adams, </i>namun pada akhirnya malah menjadi nominasi kedua bagi Marion Cotillard? Di luar dugaan pula<i>, Bradley Cooper is becoming Oscar darling. </i>Sejak 2013 lalu, namanya masih setia bertengger sebagai <i>nominee, </i>bukan hanya sebagai produser American Sniper untuk Best Picture, juga termasuk untuk Best Actor, bersama Michael Keaton, Steve Carell, Benedict Cumberbatch, dan Eddie Redmayne. Di kategori Best Picture, judul-judul seperti Birdman, Boyhood, The Imitation Game, The Grand Budapest Hotel hingga Selma memang telah diprediksi sebelumnya, namun ada sebuah kejutan kecil di dalamnya: Whiplash! Tak banyak yang memprediksikan Whiplash mampu meraih nominasi Best Picture, namun jelas kehadiran film indie ini adalah kejutan menyenangkan. <i>And.. here are the nominees. Stay tune for my annual list of best films of the year!</i></div>

<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Tak terasa kita telah berada di bulan Desember lagi, dan itu artinya: <i>awards season </i>resmi dimulai! Setelah Screen Actor Guild Awards yang baru saja mengumumkan para <i>nominee </i>calon penerima <i>'The Actor'</i>, kini giliran Golden Globes untuk membuka amplop nominasi. <i>And, this time, m</i></span></span><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; line-height: 13.5pt; padding: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>uch love for Selma! </i>Selepas SAG yang sama sekali mengacuhkannya, Golden Globes menunjukkan hal sebaliknya. Ia berhasil mendapatkan 3 nominasi untuk Best Drama Film, Best Drama Actor, dan Best Director. Sementara Boyhood dan Birdman, <i>two current frontrunners, </i>dinominasikan untuk masing-masing 5 dan 7 kategori, termasuk Best Drama Film untuk Boyhood, Best Comedy Film untuk Birdman, serta Best Director dan Best Screenplay. </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 13.5pt;">Di lain sisi, meskipun Gone Girl berhasil mendapatkan nominasi Best Director, Best Actress, serta Best Screenplay, namun namanya hilang di tengah jajaran Best Drama Film. </span><i style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 13.5pt;">Where's the logic?</i></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<i style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 13.5pt;"><br /></i></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 13.5pt;">Kabar baik bagi sang <i>redhead</i>, <i>Julianne Moore is a double nominee! </i>Tahun ini hingga awal tahun depan nanti mungkin adalah tahun di mana akhirnya Julianne Moore dapat membawa pulang Oscar pertamanya. Dari penghargaan Best Actress dari Cannes Film Festival untuk Maps to the Stars hingga <i>buzz </i>besarnya untuk <i>the defining career performance-</i>nya dalam Still Alice, <i>Julianne Moore is the one to beat. </i>Sementara itu, Meryl Streep, lagi, lagi, dan lagi, mencetak rekor baru dengan nominasi ke-29-nya dengan kategori Best Supporting Actress dalam musikal Into the Woods. Bersama Streep, Jessica Chastain, yang sekalipun gagal mendapatkan nominasi Best Drama Actress untuk film The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, namanya juga menjadi salah satu <i>nonimee </i>dalam kategori Best Supporting Actress dalam A Most Violent Year. Di ranah aktor, nama Jake Gyllenhaal yang awalnya tak terlalu dielu-elukan, nyatanya kembali dinominasikan untuk Best Drama Actor, selepas SAG yang juga menominasikannya dalam Best Actor (dan menyisihkan Timothy Spall, Bradley Cooper, bahkan David Oyelowo). <i>Is it a sign for his second Oscar nomination?</i></span></div>

Apa film yang paling ditunggu di akhir tahun ini? Anda boleh menyebutkan hidangan penutup dari <i>Middle Earth,</i> epik The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies, <i>semi-finale </i>dari '<i>the Girl on Fire',</i> The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part I, atau animasi Disney yang terinspirasi dari tim pahlawan super komik Marvel, Big Hero 6. Tapi, satu yang pasti, hampir dapat dipastikan judul film yang satu ini, tak akan terlewatkan. Ya, hanya dengan nama Christopher Nolan yang menjabat sebagai sutradara, telah mampu membuat Interstellar begitu ditunggu-tunggu..Belum lagi, ia dibintangi oleh para pemenang Oscar: Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine, hingga Ellen Burstyn; dan para <i>nominee </i>Oscar: Casey Affleck hingga tentunya, <i>the future Oscar winner </i>Jessica Chastain, Interstellar tentu memiliki salah satu <i>cast </i>terbaik di tahun ini. Dan, jangan lupakan bahwa mereka berada di tangan terbaik yang pernah Hollywood miliki.<br />
<br />
Di masa depan, di mana bumi sudah tak mampu menampung ledakan penduduk, dan ketika sumber daya yang dimilki bumi sudah tak cukup untuk memenuhi kebutuhan tiap kepala, Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) tahu bahwa bumi sudah berada di penghujung umurnya. Cooper sendiri, merupakan mantan pilot NASA, yang kini terpaksa menjadi seorang petani, tinggal di sebuah wilayah perkebunan jagung, bersama mertuanya, Donald (John Lithgow) dan 2 anaknya, Tom (Timothée Chalamet) serta Murphy (McKenzie Foy). Murphy sendiri, mempercayai bahwa kamarnya dihantui oleh <i>poltergeist </i>yang mencoba berkomunikasi dengannya. Tentu, Cooper tak percaya akan hal itu. Tapi, semua akan seketika berubah ketika kejadian aneh yang tak dapat dijelaskan terjadi. <i>Yeah, literally, everything.</i><br />

Waktu itu relatif, dan lewat Interstellar, kita benar-benar dapat merasakannya. Ya, durasi 169 menit itu jelas bukan masalah. Seperti yang sudah-sudah, kerya Nolan yang satu ini masih setia dengan cerita kompleks yang dijabarkan secara nonlinier. Menit-menit pertamanya menarik. Dikemas dengan gaya dokumenter, kali ini <i>first act</i>-nya merupakan pemanasan yang terasa sempurna. Banyak emosi yang ia keluarkan, dengan perkenalan karakter yang terbangun dengan baik sekaligus menarik. Tapi, bukan Nolan namanya jika ia tak mengetuk intuisi penonton, bahkan dari sejak ia pertama bergulir. Tak hanya berkutat dengan porsi drama, Interstellar menawarkan berbagai elemen fiksi sainsnya di tengah hubungan ayah-anak Cooper-Murph. Ada banyak anomali dan misteri, yang mampu membuat siapapun tak bisa meninggalkan kursinya.<br />
<br />
Semakin menit bergulir, maka elemen fiksi sains akan makin mendominasi, bersamaan dengan kadar ketegangan yang juga makin menguat. Ya, jangan tertipu dengan <i>trailer-</i>nya. Boleh jadi apa yang anda lihat di <i>trailer-</i>nya hanyalah sekumpulan kebun jagung dengan <i>scene </i>di angkasa luar yang detiknya dapat dihitung dengan 10 jari. <i>But well, you know Nolan. </i>Selalu membiarkan segalanya berada dalam 'kotak' rapat. Memang, paruh pertamanya boleh jadi menawarkan hamparan kebun, tapi 2/3 sisanya, adalah petualangan menegangkan di angkasa luar. Dari sini, ia akan semakin banyak bermain dengan ruang dan waktu, memberikan penonton banyak ruang untuk berpikir dan mencerna apa yang ia maksud, sekaligus merasa terhibur dengan apa yang penonton saksikan.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Masih dengan realita berlapisnya, Nolan bermain-main dengan akal sehat penonton. Jelas ini bukan hanya mengandalkan berbagai permainan ruang dan waktu, Interstellar tetap kaya akan jiwa-jiwa film Nolan. Sebuah kesatuan narasi yang menakjubkan sekaligus <i>thought-provoking. </i>Kisahnya dewasa dan matang dalam kisahnya yang cukup kompleks. Beberapa dari anda mungkin mengkritik terlalu banyak hal yang terjadi di dalamnya, namun toh ia tak pernah tampil menggangu. Sebaliknya, setiap kisah mampu dikemas dengan sangat menarik. Dan, tentu, salah satu yang paling istimewa dari karya-karyanya adalah kisah yang <i>unpredictable. </i>Tak cukup hanya dengan selapis kejutan, Interstellar punya berlapis-lapis, dengan klimaks besar yang berhasil melebur elemen drama yang menghentakkan dan petualangan fiksi sains yang penuh 'otak' dan ketegangan. Secara keseluruhan pun, ini adalah kombinasi sempurna. Sebuah <i>science-fiction </i>yang menggebu-gebu, cantik, dan penuh emosi, mengetuk intuisi dan akal sehat, cerdas dari konten segaligus cara ia menyampaikannya. lengkap dengan nafas-nafas klasik dari epik <i>sci-fi </i>terdahulu layaknya 2001: A Space Odyssey yang ia bawa.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Narasinya unik, jika tak mau dibilang original. Premisnya mungkin terdengar cukup sederhana, berbekal menyelamatkan bumi yang telah banyak diungkit sebelumnya. Tapi, tunggu saat anda menontonnya. Akan ada banyak rumus fisika dengan teori ruang dan waktu yang bertebaran di sana sini, tapi ini justru tak membuat Interstellar menjadi film <i>segmented </i>dan terbatas, justru itulah daya tariknya. Ia mampu menyulap teori-teori fisika ini menjadi rangkaian kisah yang membuat orang-orang terus setia menatap layar tanpa pernah memalingkan mata sedikit pun. Nolan memang sukses besar dalam sektor ini, membangun dan menstimulasi rasa penasaran tinggi pada tiap orang dan terus mengunci penonton hingga 169 menit ke depan, membuat teori fisika dan angka-angka 'cantik' bukan lagi sebuah masalah, justru sebagai daya tarik tersendiri yang ajaibnya, mujarab dalam menarik penonton ke dalam kisahnya.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tak ada yang mampu meragukan departemen aktingnya. Bergelimpahan nama bintang, bukan hanya sekedar bintang, sebagian di antaranya pernah membawa pulang Oscar, atau setidaknya pernah dinominasikan. Di antaranya, ada pemenang Oscar tahun lalu, Matthew McConaughey. Dengan karirnya yang kian meroket setelah mengalami kemerosotan, ia kembali menunjukkan tajinya sebagai aktor berkualitas yang serba bisa. Karakternya penuh emosi, dengan perannya yang begitu besar sebagai ayah dalam sebuah <i>chemistry </i>ayah-anak yang emosional dan pahit-manis. Ya, Oscar itu tentu tak salah berbicara. Di baliknya, ada pula pemegang Oscar 2 tahun lalu, Anne Hathaway. Setelah fantine dan kini Amelia, ia telah sepenuhnya lepas dari gelar <i>'america's sweetheart</i>', hadir dengan performa yang kembali menakjubkan.<br />
<br />
Tapi, dari kehadiran <i>cast </i>yang begitu solid ini, bagi saya, penampilan Jessica Chastain adalah yang terbaik. Ya, lagi-lagi ia tak pernah salah dalam memilih peran (tahun ini, ia juga tampil dalam The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby dan A Most Violent Year, di mana ketiganya termasuk Interstellar, cukup banyak diprediksi mampu membuahkan nominasi Oscar lagi baginya). Mungkin waktu yang ia hadirkan terbatas, tapi peran<i> supporting</i>-nya ini makin menegaskan namanya sebagai <i>the shining gem</i><i>. </i>Dibantu pula oleh skrip Nolan bersaudara yang mampu membuat karakternya hadir dengan begitu kokoh dan mencuri perhatian, Chastain berhasil memanfaatkan waktunya yang tak banyak dengan penampilan tak terlupakan, penuh emosi sekaligus tangguh dan penuh kekuatan.<br />
<br />

<br />
Tak sampai di situ, Interstellar juga terdepan dalam departemen audio visualnya. Dari musik latar, hadir tak lain dan tak bukan Hans Zimmer, yang untuk kesekian kalinya meramu tiap melodi magis untuk film-film karya Nolan. Hasilnya, tentu sangat memuaskan, <i>and he's surely heading for his second Oscar. </i>Zimmer berhasil bermain-main dengan waktu dalam musiknya, meracik bunyi 'tik-tok' jam menjadi salah satu hal terindah yang akan anda dengar hingga membuat anda merasakan detak jantung yang ikut berdetak lebih cepat. Dari sisi visual, <i>there is nothing to talk about honestly. It's crystal clear: beautiful, dazzling, and striking. </i>Banyak film 'cantik' yang hadir tahun ini, dan Interstellar jelas hadir di lini terdepan.<br />
<br />
Berbicara tentang Interstellar, maka sama artinya dengan teori-teori fisika yang dikemas dengan visualisasi indah dalam sebuah melankoli keluarga dan kisah perjalanan heroik. Ya, layaknya setiap karya seorang Nolan, Interstellar adalah tipe film yang mampu membuat anda terus membicarakan dan memikirkannya, tak sekedar meninggalkan bioskop dengan <i>impact </i>yang hilang begitu saja. <i>It's another Nolan-gasm, for sure. </i>Bahkan, lebih dari itu, Interstellar adalah pengalaman sinematik berharga yang tak selalu hadir tiap tahunnya. Megah, besar, dan spektakuler,<i> it's an unstoppable intense journey packed with deep emotions. It's passionly crafted and cleverly narrated, also perfectly casted filled with great performances by McConaughey, Hathaway, and Chastain. Plus, it's </i><i>undeniably beautiful. Interstellar is simply another cinema paradiso from the mind of one of the most talented filmmaker of his time, and eventually, of all time, Christopher Nolan. </i><br />

Gone Girl, ini bukan sekuel dari Gone Baby Gone, tapi tetap ada nama Ben Affleck meskipun hadir di lini depan sebagai aktor utama. Kali ini, adalah nama seorang David Fincher yang duduk di bangku sutradara. Sejak kemunculan Alien 3 yang dianggap gagal dalam kacamata sekuel, David Fincher nyatanya tak berhenti di situ. Lewat Se7en pada 1995, diikuti oleh The Game, Fight Club, Panic Room, Zodiac, Benjamin Button, The Social Network, hingga The Girl with the Dragoon Tattoo pada 2011. Ini adalah perjalanan karir yang luar biasa. Selama 16 tahun produktif dalam industri dan tanpa pernah sekalipun mendapatkan rapor merah, Fincher tentunya bukan sutradara kemarin sore. Tiga tahun kemudian, dengan dirilisnya Gone Girl, karirnya bertambah cemerlang, dengan kembali mencetak 19 tahun perjalanan karir tanpa satupun kegagalan.</div>

Apa yang akan anda lakukan ketika usia pernikahan anda menginjak tahun ke-5? Sebagian besar orang akan merayakannya, namun pasangan suami-istri Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) dan Amy Dunne (Rosamund Pike) berbeda. Tahun ke-5 adalah awal dari semua katastrofi. Amy, yang seharusnya berada di rumah ketika sang suami pulang dari kerjanya, malah hilang entah ke mana, meninggalkan hanyalah meja yang pecah dan porak-poranda. Dengan bantuan kepolisian, jangan harapkan segalanya menjadi lebih baik. Yang ada, dengan beragam bukti yang polisi temukan, malah memunculkan spekulasi bahwa Nick-lah dalang di balik semua ini. Layaknya media masa dan masyarakat dalam filmnya, kita dibuat bertanya-tanya, di manakah Amy berada dan siapakah orang yang ada dibaliknya?</div>

Secara garis besar, dengan premisnya yang begitu menarik, kisah yang Gone Girl bawa sebenarnya bukanlah hal paling kompleks yang pernah ada. Ia bisa digambarkan lewat sudut pandang sederhana, namun tentu bukan itu jalan yang Gillian Flynn ramu. Sebaliknya, ia dijabarkan lewat dua buah perspektif, dengan sebuah permainan naratif yang mampu membuat berbagai persimpangan dalam cara penonton menangkap yang ia ceritakan. Lewat permainan penuh teka-teki ini, penonton di ajak menyusuri labirin di mana tiap-tiap <i>twist </i>menunggu di akhirnya (atau di tengah perjalanan), sembari mengumpulkan keping demi keping potongan <i>puzzle </i>yang tersebar sejak menit pertama filmnya bergulir. Bukan hanya soal <i>mystery/psychological thriller </i>saja, ada drama pahit di antaranya, sebuah<i> catastrophic romance </i>dengan banyak bumbu <i>anti-romance </i>di sana-sini. Hasilnya, ini jauh dari kesan memperbelit apa yang seharusnya dapat menjadi sederhana, sebaliknya ini menunjukkan bahwa, dengan bermodal subjek minimalis, bukan berarti ia juga harus dijabarkan dengan jalan yang tak menarik. Gone Girl membuktikannya, ia merupakan sebuah perjalanan menegangkan dengan plot memukau sekaligus <i>intelligent</i>, dengan kisah yang mampu membuat siapapun ikut hanyut ke dalam misterinya.<br />
<i><br /></i>
Sejak Se7en yang rilis 19 tahun lalu, sutradara David Fincher tak pernah gagal. Ia adalah salah satu sineas dengan karir dan kualitas karya paling stabil yang pernah ada (<i>we're looking at you, Woody Allen). </i>Dan, dikali kesembilannya ini, ia kembali membuktikannya eksistensinya. Terbukti, Gone Girl berhasil bukan hanya berkat naskahnya, namun juga berkat peran Fincher yang mampu mengubah Gone Girl menjadi sebuah <i>rollercoaster </i>menegangkan dan penuh teka-teki yang menjaga penonton tetap berada di tempat duduknya.<i> </i>Fincher<i> </i>berhasil menjaga tensi dengan begitu baik dibalik atmosfer gelap yang ia susun serta pengemasannya yang begitu matang dan <i>stylish. </i>Ada banyak tanda tanya di dalamnya, dan bagaimana Fincher menangani semua ini merupakan hal yang luar biasa. Berbekal naskah yang tak kalah baiknya, Fincher bukan hanya berhasil mempertahankan ketegangan, namun juga dalam menyuntikkan dan mempermainkan emosi penonton, memberikan Gone Girl sebuah <i>bone-chilling experience, </i>sejak menit pertama hingga kredit bergulir.<br />

Anda mungkin berpikir bahwa Amy adalah nahkoda dari semuanya. Kisahnya berakar pada Amy yang hilang entah ke mana, sepanjang film anda akan menelusuri perjalanan panjang untuk mengetahui siapa sebenarnya Amy, bahkan hingga judulnya pun merujuk pada karakter ini. Tapi, itu tak sepenuhnya benar. Ada peran media yang besar di baliknya. Tanpa disadari maupun tidak, media adalah penggerak yang berperan besar dalam pergolakan cerita. Gyllian Flynn, yang juga merupakan penulis asli dari novelnya, mampu menuangkan satir mengenai isu media (dan tentunya isu perkawinan) dengan cerdas dan lugas. Mampu menjadikan penonton layaknya masyarakat yang tersetir oleh media, kisahnya terasa dinamis dengan penonton yang dapat membenci suatu karakter, kemudian menyukainya, membenci, dan menyukainya kembali. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gone Girl mampu mempermainkan penonton, bukan hanya dengan kisah yang naik turun ataupun pengaruh media yang ia sindir, namun juga karakter-karakter kompleks yang ada di antara dua zona. Ya, tak ada satupun karakter yang hadir dalam zona dengan batas yang jelas. Tak ada hitam, tak ada putih, yang ada hanyalah abu-abu. Dengan sebuah <i>opening </i>shot yang cantik, Gone Girl mampu memancing rasa penasaran, menampilkan Amy dengan tatapan manis dan misterius, yang bahkan hanya dengan itu, telah dapat membuat anda merasakan kompleksitasnya. Sementara Nick, terlebih dengan senyumnya yang media sebut sebagai '<i>the killer smile' </i>dan segala rahasia pernikahannya yang ia pendam<i>, </i>mampu memikat atensi dengan begitu baik dengan permainan kisah yang Flynn tulis. Sekalipun kebenaran telah terkuak, tiap penonton pun tak akan memihak pada karakter yang itu-itu saja. Anehnya, sekalipun kebanyakan karakter yang hadir dalam Gone Girl adalah karakter 'kusut', <i>flawed, </i>dan bermasalah<i>, </i>tak ada satupun bagi saya yang hadir sebagai '<i>the unlikeable one', </i>bahkan karakter yang 'seharusnya' anda benci mampu menjadi karakter mudah disukai audiens<i>.</i></div>

<i>One of many aspects that makes Gone Girl as one of the best films in 2014 is: how perfectly casted the film is. </i>Siapa sangka bahwa Nick alias Ben Affleck, dulunya pernah berlakon dalam Gigli, Pasti, penampilannya telah banyak mengalami peningkatan beberapa tahun sebelumnya, namun Gone Girl merupakan <i>career-defining </i>bagi peraih 2 Oscar ini. Ia <i>flawed </i>namun mudah disukai, bukan manusia suci namun jelas bukan seseorang untuk dibenci (<i>well, sometimes). </i>Sementara itu, Rosamund Pike bersinar. Lewat <i>oscar-buzz </i>yang mengelilinginya, ia tampil luwes, mengisi tiap ruang yang David Fincher dan Gillian Flynn berikan lewat betapa kompleks karakter yang ia miliki. Misterius, seduktif, namun juga <i>innocent </i>sekaligus memikat<i>, </i>layaknya setiap wajah yang muncul dalam film ini. Gelar salah satu penampilan terbaik tahun ini pun sama sekali tak berlebihan jika disematkan padanya.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Di baliknya ada wanita lain, Carrie Coon yang tak kalah kuat. Hadir di peran <i>supporting, </i>ia mewakili penonton dengan jalan pemikirannya, sekaligus mewarnai perjalanan kelam ini dengan secuil humor yang ia bawa. Sekalipun awalny mengundang tanda tanya besar setelah Fincher merekrut Tyler Perry, namun ia nyatanya berhasil mematahkan spekulasi buruk penonton sebagai <i>lawyer </i>yang juga hadir mewarnai suasana. Satu lagi yang mengejutkan untuk tampil dalam kredit adalah Neil Patrick Harris yang benar-benar keluar dari komedi yang dikenal sebagai <i>comfort zone-</i>nya selama (<i>where he's also good at it)</i>. Sebagai mantan kekasih Amy, ia <i>creepy </i>dan tajam, sekalipun pada beberapa bagian terkesan <i>trying too hard, </i>namun secara garis besar, ia mampu melakonkan Desi dengan baik.<br />

<br />
Ditengah <i>tone </i>yang kelam, ia tetap mampu mempesona lewat visualnya yang <i>stylish,</i> sebagaimana tiap karya David Fincher.<i> </i>Sinematografinya harus diakui cantik, dengan <i>angle-angle </i>dari Jeff Cronenweth yang memanjakan mata sekalipun hadir dengan <i>tone </i>yang <i>gloomy. </i>Scoring dari Trent Reznor dan Atticus Ross juga tampil sebagai top-notch, dengan melodi-melodi yang menggetarkan, membangun tensi sedikit demi sedikit. <i>Editing </i>juga hadir dengan kisah yang setali tiga uang. Sebagai salah satu <i>contender </i>utama dalam Best Editing di sesi musim penghargaan nantinya, ia solid dan kokoh, terlebih didukung narasi filmnya yang berlapis-lapis, memberikan banyak ruang bagi Kirk Baxter untuk tampil meyakinkan lewat potongan-potongan gambar.<br />
<br />
Ada banyak <i>career-defining performances </i>dalam Gone Girl. Ini adalah akting terbaik Tyler Perry dan penampilan pertama Harris di luar zona nyamannya, sementara Gone Girl juga membawa nama ketiga aktornya ke puncak, Carrie Coon dan (terutama) bagi dua <i>lead-</i>nya, Ben Affleck dan Rosamund Pike yang mungkin saja berbuah sebuah nominasi Oscar bagi Pike. Tapi, <i>career-defining performance </i>paling utama datang dari seorang David Fincher. Dengan plot mempesona dari Gillian Fylnn, David Fincher kembali mencapai <i>strike </i>untuk kesekian kalinya dengan nilai yang jauh di atas rata-rata. <i>It's crystal clear: </i>Gone Girl bukan hanya tentang seorang wanita yang hilang, lebih dari itu, ia menggelitik dengan isu-isu satir yang ia kemukakan, sekaligus memberikan pengalaman sinematik memukau yang membawa film serupa ke level yang lebih tinggi dari yang sudah-sudah.<br />

<i><br /></i>
Film bertema religi tentunya bukan hal asing lagi di tahun 2014. Sutradara sekaliber Darren Aronofsky pun sempat menelurkan kisah biblikal Noah. Bukan hanya Aronofsky, sineas veteran penghasil Alien, juga akan merilis Exodus: Gods and King yang mengangkat kisah Nabi Musa dengan Christian Bale di lini depan aktingnya. Di lain sisi, ada pula film-film non <i>blockbuster </i>seperti Son of God, Heaven is For Real, hingga God's Not Dead. Datang dari tanah Irlandia, ada Calvary, sekalipun bukanlah kisah biblikal dan hanya mengambil agama sebagai latar belakang dan alat agar kisahnya mampu bekerja dengan baik. Dan yah, harus diakui, kisahnya dapat berkerja dengan baik, bahkan sangat baik.<br />
<br />
<i>"I first tasted semen when I was 7 years old," </i>kalimat inilah yang mengawali Calvary, sebuah dialog yang benar-benar aneh untuk mengawali sebuah film, bukan hanya bagi film yang mengangkat agama dan keimanan seperti Calvary, tapi <i>literally, </i>semua film. <i>Well, it would be very weird for The Avengers to have this first dialogue, right? </i>Dan, saya yakin reaksi penonton akan sama dengan dialog setelahnya, <i>"That's certainly a startling opening line," well, certainly it is.</i> Kembali lagi, ini adalah satu cara <i>disturbing </i>untuk mengawali sebuah film<i>. </i>namun sukses mengumpan rasa penasaran yang begitu besar. <i> </i>Jujur. saya begitu terkesima dengan <i>opening </i>dari Calvary: kalimat ini muncul dari balik sebuah bilik pengakuan dosa yang gelap, dengan Father James yang terlihat sedih dan seorang pria sakit jiwa misterius yang 'mengakui' dosanya dan tiba-tiba mengancam akan membunuh sang pastur.<i> One minute, and you'll be hooked for 99 more minutes.</i><br />
<br />

<br />
Ini benar-benar jarang terjadi. Ancaman pembunuhan bukan hal yang baru lagi, tapi menujukannya pada seorang pemuka agama yang benar-benar <i>innocent</i>? Ini mungkin saja yang pertama. Berangkat dari sini, Calvary terasa seperti perpaduan yang absurd, namun di situlah Calvary mampu tampil kuat. Ada banyak unsur agama di dalamnya, namun ia diawali oleh sebuah misteri dan rasa penasaran yang mencengangkan. Tapi, semakin konfliknya melebar, maka ini bukan hanya berbicara tentang misteri, dan Calvary juga bukanlah agama melulu. Ada banyak hal lain di baliknya.<br />
<br />
Ketika dramanya mulai mendominasi, misteri di sini hanyalah semacam medium, perantara yang sutradara berikan untuk menyampain pesan sebenarnya film ini. Dari dialog awal percakapan Father James dengan 'sang calon pembunuh', <i>"There's no point killing a bad priest, but killing a good one! That would be a shock!",</i> McDonagh telah memberikan sedikit <i>clue </i>tentang apa sebenarnya Calvary. Di menit-menit setelahnya. begitu banyak karakter berseliweran, <i>mondar-mandir </i>dengan kisah-kisah dan kelakuannya tersendiri. Ya, <i>it's a character study and social commenatary, likely a representation of seven deadly sins, and a pretty good one. </i>Sekalipun durasi 100 menit begitu singkat untuk menjabarkan tiap kisahnya, yang mungkin membutuhkan lebih dari 2 jam untuk memadatkan tiap <i>subplot, </i>tapi tak dapat dipungkiri, <i>subplot-subplot </i>ini menarik, dengan karakter-karakter yang eksentrik, yang membuatnya menjadi lebih atraktif. Batu sandungan itu memang ada dengan <i>subplot </i>yang begitu banyak dan beberapa di antaranya kurang dapat berkembang<i>, </i>tapi toh saya tetap terkesima selama 100 menitya berjalan.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ini mengingatkan saya terhadap Gosford Park, <i>but much more interesting. </i>Beralur lambat, <i>and filled with</i> <i>talking, talking, and just talking</i>, banyak hal yang sebenarnya terjadi di baliknya<i>. </i>Ya, sekalipun begitu dominan, tak lantas Calvary berubah haluan menjadi film yang tak menarik dengan hanya ada kata-kata di dalamnya. Sebaliknya, berterimakasihlah kepada John Michael McDonagh yang berjasa dalam menyusun dialog-dialog berbobot dan cerdas, tapi pada saat yang sama, ia juga bisa bercanda, mengeluarkan baris dialog yang bukan hanya membuat kita tersenyum simpul, tapi juga 'mengunyahnya' terlebih dahulu.<br />
<br />
Lewat naskah, kita dapat melihat apa yang McDonagh ingin sampaikan ke permukaan. Film ini mengambil sebuah tanda tanya besar terhadap, <i>well literally everything that's been questioned by many people: religion, faith, church sexual issue, human nature, honesty, hope, and forgiveness, which we can see in each story and each character. </i>Tapi, apa yang membuat Calvary bahkan lebih baik lagi, adalah sang pemain utama itu sendiri. <i>The priest, is flawed. </i>Dia seseorang yang jujur, tenang, penuh keyakinan, meski pada beberapa bagian air mukanya menunjukkan keputusasaan. Ia adalah <i>observer, </i>mata dan hati penonton dalam mengamati kelakuan manusia. Dan, layaknya kita sebagai penonton, ia juga bukan karakter sempurna, dan Brendan Gleeson dengan bantuan McDonagh berhasil membuat karakter ini layaknya seorang manusia biasa.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP_gdpjc4gdjA43JKEhMquH_bs0_IxmC6WdRVagt3gvjy8gHGCW3LHKmWdtiOudk5A_vg9Hm4vnWA-FyuaAZNV317CcQLaIcHxCtmcTVQsJ2gCBJiReRw9Hy-vQXwhrEw6XKCV0726GDU/s1600/cal5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP_gdpjc4gdjA43JKEhMquH_bs0_IxmC6WdRVagt3gvjy8gHGCW3LHKmWdtiOudk5A_vg9Hm4vnWA-FyuaAZNV317CcQLaIcHxCtmcTVQsJ2gCBJiReRw9Hy-vQXwhrEw6XKCV0726GDU/s1600/cal5.jpg" /></a></div>
<i><br /></i>
Dari menit awal, Calvary dengan berani telah menyinggung isu pelecehan dalam tubuh gereja. Tak seperti Doubt yang memilih menyinggungnya dengan penyampaian yang lebih halus dalam 'keraguan', maka McDonagh mengambil jalan yang lain, mengungkapkannya lewat latar kisah dan jalannya dialog yang pada beberapa bagian cukup eksplisit. Jangan bayangkan seperti Primal Fear yang brutal, karena pembawaan Calvary yang menenangkan di keadaan apapun. Di satu sisi, ini adalah penggambaran yang cukup <i>disturbing </i>dan 'sakit', memaksa penonton mendengarkan dialognya yang menyakitkan, meski tak pernah secara langsung 'memamerkan kesakitan' tersebut.<br />
<br />
Ya, dengan segudang kelakuan immoral yang ia gambarkan, apa yang ia bawa justu sebaliknya: apa itu moralitas, Anda mungkin akan bergidik akan isu pelecehan seksual dan kekerasannya, namun Calvary tetap menyentuh di hampir semua bagian. Lewat sang pemain utama, ada kejujuran dan nilai moral lain, dan lewat tiap <i>subplot, </i>selalu ada yang dapat kita ambil tanpa harus merasa digurui. Sebelum kredit bergulir, McDonagh juga sempat menyajikan salah satu momen penutup paling epik yang pernah ada. Tanpa perlu berkata-kata dan bermodalkan permainan visual, ia mampu menyentuh penonton, memberikan pelajaran terakhir yang berharga dan tak terlupakan: <i>hope and forgiveness.</i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4e6IKh9ZfmD4kF-QPFghXRv8cQzwm6EUYlVj8HgT17o_RBnDt0eR7GKkqeJPgVS7ogy_NFE9nLJUyRrKJP7fDcK2vcdSDZFVVpEVUDKra3VErnb5aVlbWnRu0TMgbCGIp35nuIyeX87c/s1600/cal1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4e6IKh9ZfmD4kF-QPFghXRv8cQzwm6EUYlVj8HgT17o_RBnDt0eR7GKkqeJPgVS7ogy_NFE9nLJUyRrKJP7fDcK2vcdSDZFVVpEVUDKra3VErnb5aVlbWnRu0TMgbCGIp35nuIyeX87c/s1600/cal1.jpg" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kesimpulannya? Topik yang ia bawa kurang lebih apa yang kita lihat dalam Se7en minus <i>box </i>misterius itu, dengan konsep pengemasan yang mengingatkan kita akan Gosford Park, tapi dengan misteri yang lebih mempesona. Meski begitu, Calvary masih memiliki <i>spark-</i>nya sendiri. Temanya banyak dan berat, namun penyajiannya cenderung tidak terlalu berat, dan ia juga tak pernah menggampangkan tema krusialnya. Hasilnya, sebuah drama pilu dan menyentuh, humor cerdas, yang disajikan dengan begitu cantik, baik dari segi naratif maupun visual. Berbicara tentang visual,<i> </i>di balik kegelapan temanya, Calvary juga menyimpan sinematografi apik.<i> </i>Ia turut membuka Calvary dengan atmosfer yang <i>gloomy, </i>menyorot lanskap Irlandia yang begitu cantik, menyajikan kepedihan dengan visaul memukau, hingga yang terpenting: ia juga ambil bagian dalam menyampaikan emosi dalam bentuk visual ke penonton.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dibuka oleh percakapan yang cukup mengejutkan, ditengahi oleh karakter-karakternya yang menarik, hingga diakhiri oleh momen yang menggetarkan, nyaris membuat saya melupakan kekurangan Calvary, yang sebenarnya juga bukanlah hal yang terlalu besar. Selama 100 menit, Calvary mampu memberikan sebuah dunia yang tak biasa, mengeksplorasinya lewat sebuah misteri yang mempesona, memberikan penonton sebuah suplemen otak dengan kecerdasannya mengambil banyak hal ke permukaan dan keberaniannya menertawakan isu-isu moral. Diisi oleh <i>lead </i>tak terlupakan dari Brendan Gleeson, makin mampu menegaskan Calvary sebagai sebuah <i>silent pleasure,</i> tontonan mengenai kesedihan yang disajikan dengan cantik dan tenang. Salah satu yang terdepan di tahun ini, bahkan sejak menit pertamanya,<br />

<i>Okay, I get it. I saw this like a month ago, and this review is just so overdue. Well, forgive me for having such a busy time, plus writing a review actually needs high level of mood, and i wasn't in the right mood. But, don't worry, i am right now. So, here we go: this time it's about the</i> <i>lost brother of The Avengers from the same universe</i>. <i>It's Marvel's time again, ladies and gentlemen! But wait, Guardians of the Galaxy is no The Avengers. </i>Ya, mereka tentu jauh dari pinang yang di belah dua, keduanya lebih seperti kakak beradik yang tidak akur, mirip secara konsep tapi berbeda jauh dalam pengemasannya. The Avengers adalah kakak yang serius dan lebih populer, sementara adiknya Guardians of the Galaxy adalah adik yang <i>bawel</i>, punya selera humor tinggi plus selera musik renyah, dan jauh lebih <i>rebellious.</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Diawali oleh <i>opening </i>yang cukup emosional, Guardians of the Galaxy menyorot Peter Quill kecil yang baru saja kehilangan ibunya, diculik oleh kaum pembajak angkasa, Ravagers. Dibesarkan oleh kaum pembajak membuat Peter Quill dewasa (Chris Pratt) menjadi seorang pencuri. Salah satu yang ia curi adalah bola misterius orb, yang rupanya juga merupakan incaran penjahat berbahaya galaksi, Ronan (Lee Pace). Quill yang tanpa pernah mengetahui apa bola misterius itu, tak mampu menghindari perkelahian perebutan orb antara utusan Ronan yang akhirnya membelot, Gamora (Zoe Saldana) dan 2 kriminal lain, Rocket (Bradley Cooper) dan Groot (Vin Diesel), yang berujung pada penjeblosan keempatnya ke dalam bui. Bersama Drax (Dave Bautista) yang mereka temui di penjara, mereka berlima yang akhirnya mengetahui kekuatan bola itu memutuskan untuk menjualnya demi materi. Tapi, ada satu hal yang tak mereka sadari: bahwa sebenarnta mereka juga sedang menyelamatkan galaksi dari kehancuran.</div>

Nyatanya, film teranyar Marvel ini bukan hanya berbeda dari The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy juga berbeda dari kisah Marvel yang sudah-sudah. Ini bukan lagi sekedar film <i>action </i>pahlawan super dengan sisipan dialog menggelitik di antaranya, ini sudah layaknya sebuah komedi yang bercampur sempurna dengan sisi maskulinnya yang kental serta sisi emosional yang tak terlupakan. Tak ada lagi yang namanya 'sisipan', seluruh sisinya mampu hadir dengan porsi berimbang, menjadikan Guardians of the Galaxy bukan hanya sebagai film paling seru dan paling <i>cool </i>tahun ini, tapi secara mengejutkan, juga sebagai yang paling konyol di jajaran film 2014.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Ya, anda jelas tak akan melengkungkan bibir semata, tapi lebih dari itu, akan ada banyak tawa besar yang menghiasi 2 jamnya. Ya, selama 2 jam itu pula, anda akan puas dengan para '<i>superhero' </i>yang memiliki bakat tersembunyi sebagai komedian. Dari Drax si algojo besar yang berada di batas abu-abu antara polos dan bodoh; Rocket, rakun <i>bawel </i>yang tak pernah bisa menutup mulut; Groot si manusia akar yang tak pernah menambah satu kosa kata baru pun dalam kamus bahasanya, Gamora, wanita yang tangguh dan, <i>err</i>, berkulit hijau; hingga Peter Quill yang <i>sok asik </i>meski hadir dengan selera musik paling asyik di antara seluruh karakter<i> </i>Marvel. </div>

Naskah hasil kolaborasi ini lebih memilih untuk membawa komedinya secara <i>blak-blakan, </i>mengolok-olok James Pollock, mengungkit Kevin Bacon, dan Footloose-nya, membuat suasana heroik menjadi penuh gelak tawa, hingga menertawakan hal-hal lain yang sebelumnya kita pikir tak akan bisa ditertawakan. Kaya akan <i>punch line, </i>naskahnya kapan saja<i> '</i>meninju' anda dengan komedi tanpa rasa ampun, menggabungkan dialog-dialog <i>witty </i>dengan suasana heroik, dan hasilnya? Sebuah keseruan yang hadir dengan <i>sense of humor </i>yang jauh di atas rata-rata, dan yang lebih mengagumkan: ternyata banyak kekonyolan dan pahlawan super dalam satu <i>frame</i> bukanlah ide yang buruk, sama sekali!</div>

Ada dua hal di mana Marvel tak pernah gagal. Yang pertama, tentunya gagal dalam <i>box-office, US box-office </i>yang mencapai lebih dari 300 juta dollar sudah berbicara banyak<i>. </i>Yang kedua? Apalagi kalau bukan dalam aksi yang keren dan penuh segmen akrobatik, <i>Marvel can do no wrong in this section.</i> Penuh energi, dinamis, dan menghentak, Guardians of the Galaxy rupanya tetap mampu mengemas aksinya dengan penuh keseruan dan tanpa pernah sekalipun tenggelam di tengah terjangan gelak tawanya. Dan, lewat tangan James Gunn, Marvel kembali membuktikan bahwa studio ini rupanya masih manjur dalam soal perkelahian si baik dan si jahat, sekaligus makin menegaskan namanya sebagai studio spesialis aksi pengundang decak kagum.</div>

Ia kharismatik, <i>witty, </i>flamboyan, <i>and</i> <i>he's definitely the star and the heart of the entire movie. </i>Di belakangnya, ada Zoe Saldana yang begitu tangguh sekalipun dalam kulit serupa Shrek dan sebangsanya. Sedangkan, Dave Bautista akhirnya mampu menunjukkan kemampuannya dengan berlakon sebagai Drax, algojo polos yang terbutakan oleh masa lalunya yang kelam. Dan, jangan lupakan pula bahwa ternyata film ini dihiasi oleh nama kondang Vin Diesel dan Bradley Cooper yang bersembunyi di balik efek komputer. Sementara Vin Diesel berhasil mencuri perhatian dengan dialog yang itu-itu saja, Bradley Cooper sukses bermulut kotor dan menjadi <i>filthy mouth of the year </i>lewat figur rakun hasil eksperimen genetik itu.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Soal hati, jangan ditanya lagi. Guardians of the Galaxy memiliki banyak momen emosional. Dari <i>opening </i>yang dramatis, ditambah karakter serta kekonyolonnya yang ternyata membantu penonton dalam memahami latar belakang mereka dan berempati terhadap para mantan kriminal ini. Ya, berbekal dari moral mereka yang telah 'rusak', James Gunn dan Nicole Perlman mampu meramu kisah yang (secara mengejutkan) dipenuhi ruang bebas bagi karakternya untuk berkembang, membuat prostetik dan efek komputer bukan lagi halangan berarti bagi penonton untuk mengenal mereka lebih jauh. Bermodal ini semua, Guardians of the Galaxy mampu menuturkan suatu kisah yang begitu humanis, sekalipun hanya ada satu manusia di jajaran pemain utamanya.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Tak ada yang menyangkal bahwa Guardians of the Galaxy mungkin adalah film paling <i>cool </i>tahun ini. Tapi, ada satu hal lagi yang menjadikan Guardians of the Galaxy jauh lebih <i>cool. </i>Cerita? Humor? Segmen aksi? Karakter? <i>Well, </i>tentunya, <i>but that's not what i'm talking about. </i>Apalagi kalau bukan <i>mixtape </i>Star-Lord dan kegemarannya terhadap musik. Bukan sekedar kegemaran belaka, <i>mixtape </i>ini adalah <i>emotional core</i> yang krusial, satu-satunya kenangan Quill terhadap ibunya dan terhadap rumahnya, bumi. Dengan diisi lagu-lagu <i>oldies </i>dari dekade '60an hingga '70an, James Gunn berhasil mengaplikasikan penggunaan soundtrack terbaik dalam tahun-tahun terakhir ini. Dari Hooked on A Feeling yang terngiang sejak awal film hingga O-O-H Child yang disajikan dengan komikal, Guardians of the Galaxy mampu membuat lagu-lagu bernuansa retro ini terdengar begitu masa kini. Belum cukup, <i>soundtrack-</i>nya membentuk sebuah kolaborasi manis dengan visual cantiknya yang futuristik. Kolaborasi antar 2 generasi yang tak biasa memang, namun siapapun tak dapat menolak pesonanya.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dari kemasannya, Guardians of the Galaxy lebih terlihat seperti proyek Marvel yang direaliasasikan hanya karena kesuksesan The Avengers. Tapi, jika kita lihat apa proyek ini sebenarnya, maka Guardians of the Galaxy adalah film yang paling berbeda dari para saudara pahlawan supernya, sekaligus proyek paling beresiko dari yang sudah-sudah. Sebuah film yang aneh untuk ukuran film <i>superhero</i>: karakter-karakternya terlalu ;rusak' dan aneh untuk menjadi pahlawan super, komedinya aneh dan <i>unexpected </i>serta penuh '<i>punch line' </i>yang siap menginjeksikan anda dengan serum tawanya, hingga perhatiannya yang begitu besar dalam penggunaan <i>soundtrack </i>yang bahkan mendominasi <i>scoring-</i>nya. Ini tentu bukan deskripsi umum bagi film <i>superhero, </i>tapi berkat inilah Guardians of the Galaxy mampu mengukir tempat baru dalam <i>universe </i>Marvel yang tak pernah terpikirkan sebelumnya. Secara tak langsung James Gunn berhasil dalam menggebrak dinding film <i>superhero, </i>menghancurkan <i>stereotype </i>yang kini telah lama melekat pada film serupa, menjadikan Guardians of the Galaxy sebagai angin segar di tengah terjangan karakter pahlawan yang terlalu serius, salah satu film paling mengagumkan tahun ini, dan layaknya apa yang Rocket katakan semuanya datang dari<i> a bunch of jackasses standing in a circle!</i></div>

<br />
Dari banyaknya sineas bertalenta yang dimiliki Hollywood, rasanya tak akan terlalu sulit mengenali karya seorang Richard Linklater: narasi sederhana yang dibalut dengan permainan waktu. Kegemarannya bermain dengan waktu memang telah dibuktikan dari trilogi 'Before' yang rilis tiap 9 tahun dan masing-masing dari serinya bersetting dalam waktu yang begitu pendek. Di Before Sunrise, ia mengubah waktu sehari di Viena menjadi kisah manis yang tak lekang waktu bagi dua pasang muda mudi. Before Sunset adalah lain cerita, sebuah reuni singkat sederhana, berisi, dan romantis ditengah suasana canggung setelah lama tak bertemu, sekaligus menjadi terbaik di jajarannya. Kemudian 9 tahun kemudian, Before Midnight mengungkap sebuah kisah cinta penuh kerikil konflik bagi yang sudah tak muda lagi.<br />
<br />
Kini, dengan Boyhood, Richard Linklater kembali dengan konsep yang lebih matang, lebih segar, dan lebih mencengangkan. Menghabiskan waktu pembuatan 12 tahun, Linklater bukan hanya membuat sebuah film, tapi lebih dari itu, ia 'mendokumentasikan' waktu, membuat penonton tercengang dan mungkin akan setengah percaya bahwa apa yang terjadi di layar benar-benar terjadi, sekalipun semuanya telah tahu bahwa Boyhood tetaplah sebuah film.<br />
<br />

<br />
Melalui sudut pandang seorang anak berumur 5 tahun, Mason (Ellar Coltrane), kita menyaksikan sebuah kisah tumbuh dan kembang manusia. Bersama saudarinya, Samantha (Lorelei Linklater), Boyhood 'mendokumentasikan' fase ini lewat pembuatannya yang mengahabiskan waktu lebih dari 12 tahun. Mereka diasuh oleh ibu mereka, Olivia (Patricia Arquette) yang merawat kedua bocah ini sendiri setelah perceraiannya dengan Mason Sr. (Ethan Hawke). Dengan durasi yang hampir mencapai 3 jam, Boyhood bertutur tentang kisah yang familiar selagi kita menyaksikan pertumbuhan Mason dan Samantha serta perjuangan Olivia yang begitu berat dalam mengasuh kedua anaknya.<br />
<br />
Silakan lihat situs IMDb, dan baca apa yang tertera di situ: <i>"The life of a young man, Mason, from age 5 to age 18." </i>Sebenarnya hanya butuh satu kalimat itu, sudah mampu mendeskripsikan apa yang film ini ceritakan. Bahkan, tak hanya satu kalimat, film ini pun dapat diceritakan lewat satu kata, 'Boyhood', sesuai apa yang anda lihat di judulnya. Ya, Boyhood memang sesederhana itu di kulitnya, tapi ia tak pernah sesederhana yang anda pikirkan di dalamnya, karena apa yang anda lihat sebenarnya cukup <i>complicated:</i> sebuah kisah fiktif yang terbalut dalam konsep realita kehidupan.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Naskah hasil kerja keras Linklater, sekalipun menyorot kehidupan 'sederhana' layaknya kehidupan orang lain pada umumnya, Boyhood bukanlah sebuah karya seperti yang sudah-sudah. Hal yang paling istimewa tentang Boyhood adalah kisahnya merupakan sebuah pandangan lebih jauh mengenai satu fase terpenting dalam kehidupan manusia, dan hebatnya lagi, hadir tanpa embel-embel drama konvensional Hollywood. Tak ada dramatisasi besar dalam caranya bertutur, anda tak akan melihat mereka berubah menjadi remaja psikopat atau remaja kurang ajar dalam We Need to Talk About Kevin dan Spring Breakers. Kisahnya bergulir seperti air yang mengalir di sebuah sungai. Ada kalanya ia berarus lambat dan ada kalanya di mana ia harus 'berlari' kencang, namun kembali lagi, minus apa yang biasa kita lihat dalam Hollywood..<br />
<br />
Ya, segala tentang Boyhood adalah segala sesuata yang kita tahu akan terjadi. Seorang <i>single mom </i>yang merawat 2 anaknya, apa yang anda ekspektasikan? Pernikahan, perceraian, romansa monyet, <i>graduation, college, </i>pernikahan lagi, dan perceraian lagi, Sama sekali bukan masalah membeberkan kisahnya dan bahkan tak akan pula merusak pengalaman menonton anda, karena setiap orang juga telah tahu apa yang akan terjadi pada akhirnya. Apakah ini membuat Boyhood adalah karya yang biasa-biasa saja? Sama sekali tidak. Inilah yang membedakan Boyhood dengan yang lainnya, sekalipun kontennya bukan hal yang baru, bagaimana Linklater membuat Boyhood tetap menarik adalah caranya bercerita dengan begitu akrab dan intim kepada penonton. Ini bukan hubungan guru-murid dengan batas di antaranya. ini adalah hubungan yang terjalin persis seperti ketika Patricia Arquette 'mendongengkan' novel Harry Potter kepada 2 anaknya: tulus dan tanpa penghalang.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzOFCJvMK8dzxn2K4a7f50UufepAKb9lhu7oa7rXNk_6OZH7vSbU4xQg5xEm0mJN2HC5lyGN2fqo8fD_nrRh2RtwxM8R9bJhxSBDp2GA4I25tD7p9H1bvkX26hHYoGlW0eXZMx-WMYp8U/s1600/b3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzOFCJvMK8dzxn2K4a7f50UufepAKb9lhu7oa7rXNk_6OZH7vSbU4xQg5xEm0mJN2HC5lyGN2fqo8fD_nrRh2RtwxM8R9bJhxSBDp2GA4I25tD7p9H1bvkX26hHYoGlW0eXZMx-WMYp8U/s1600/b3.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Tapi, jangan lupakan satu lagi langkah menarik dari Linklater yang sukses membuat penonton merasakan apa yang telah terjadi selama 12 tahun pembuatannya. Ya, jangan kaget ketika ia menyisipkan begitu banyak referensi kultur pop yang erat hubungannya dengan zaman tertentu yang membuat banyak senyum simpul tercipta: dari demam Harry Potter, <i>Britney Spears' ...Baby One More Time</i>, <i>Aaliyah's Try Again</i>, <i>Lady Gaga's Telephone, </i>hingga <i>Gotye's Somebody That I Used to Know</i>, Boyhood rupanya bukan hanya sukses berkat betapa revolusioner narasinya, tapi juga berkat nilai nostalgianya yang begitu besar dalam alurnya yang dinamis dengan waktu, Semua itu, berhasil mengembalikan waktu, layaknya mesin waktu yang membuat para penonton tumbuh lagi untuk kedua kalinya.<br />
<br />
Tidak sulit menentukan apa saja hal yang membuat kita berdecak kagum akan Boyhood. Dari kisah, nostalgia, hingga kesederhanaannya, tapi jangan lupakan bagaimana Boyhood menghadirkan tiap jajaran karakternya. Ada <i>chemistry </i>kokoh yang terjalin dari tiap karakter. Ya, waktu 12 tahun itu tentu berkontribusi banyak, tapi tak sampai di situ, karena berkat hal ini, ada hubungan erat yang terjalin antara karakter dengan penonton. Akting dua objek dari studi karakter ini memang bukanlah akting terbaik yang anda lihat dalam dekade ini, bukan hal luar biasa namun bukan itu yang kita cari. Semua tentang Boyhood adalah kesederhanaan, dan kejujuran berakting dari Ellar Coltrane<i> </i>dan Lorelei Linklater serta apa yang terjalin di antara mereka adalah apa yang dibutuhkan dalam kisah seperti ini.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Tapi, seberapa besar fokus film tertuju pada proses menuju dewasa seorang remaja, penampil terbaik tetaplah dipegang oleh sang ibu, diperankan aktris <i>indie</i> veteran, Patricia Arquette, yang mampu membuat judul alternatif '<i>motherhood</i>' sebenarnya merupakan ide yang bagus. Sebagai <i>single-mom </i>Olivia, Patricia tak hanya mampu tampil memukau dengan akting kelas satu saja, di tengah keterbatasan waktunya, ia bahkan berhasil membuat tema '<i>motherhood</i>' hadir dengan tegas tanpa harus tertutupi porsi '<i>boyhood</i>'-nya yang jauh lebih dominan. Selain anggota keluarga Arquette tersebut, Ethan Hawke, aktor langganan Richard Linklater juga hadir memberi warna. Ia, keceriaan, selera humor, dan kegemarannya terhadap musik hadir menyeimbangkan kisah, membuatnya mungkin merupakan salah satu sosok ayah terkeren dalam sejarah perfilman.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ya, Boyhood bukan lah sekedar film <i>coming-of-age indie </i>biasa. Berangkat dari idenya yang luar biasa, Linklater membawa tema sederhananya mencapai level baru dalam industri perfilman yang belum pernah dicapai sebelumnya, menyentuh realitas dengan caranya yang sederhana namun berbeda. Boyhood mampu membuat bubuhan<i> makeup</i> terasa begitu <i>old-fashioned</i> dan penuaan alami merupakan <i>trend </i>terbaru, membuat siapapun tersenyum simpul lewat nostalgia yang Linklater tabur sekaligus menegaskan bahwa Boyhood adalah film ter-<i>up-to-date </i>yang pernah ada. Nafasnya sederhana, kisahnya pernah (atau setidaknya akan dialami) oleh 7 milyar manusia di bumi. Tapi, apa yang mampu membuat Boyhood berada di zona berbeda adalah bahwa Richard Linklater tahu semua itu, membiarkannya mengalir begitu saja tapi tanpa pernah membiarkan ritme kisah jatuh, dan masih dengan dihiasi konflik-konflik tajam meski konteksnya tetaplah sederhana. Ini semua, sukses membuat 3 jam durasinya sama sekali bukanlah pengalaman yang melelahkan, melainkan menawarkan sebuah pengalaman sinematik penting yang jarang, atau bahkan tak akan pernah anda temui lagi. Ya, Boyhood dinamai 'Boyhood' karena suatu alasan, dan itu sama sekali bukan alasan yang salah, karena sesuai judulnya, Boyhood mampu membawa kembali waktu, dan membuat kita terjun ke dalamnya<i>.</i><i> Simply amazing.</i><br />

Di tengah maraknya <i>summer</i> <i>blockbuster </i>konvensional berbalut teknologi super modern, kita beruntung ketika proyek <i>reboot </i>sekaligus prekuel dari klasik Planet of the Apes ini diluncurkan. Meredam tiap ekspektasi negatif setelah kegagalan Tim Burton mengeksekusi <i>remake-</i>nya, Rise of the Planet of the Apes berhasil secara kualitas maupun kuantitas. Kini, dengan pergantian sutradara, yaitu Matt Reeve, sekuelnya, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes hadir membawa angin baru. Membawa aroma kelam dan bermain di daerah penuh resiko bagi sebuah sekuel, kita kedatangan Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back dan The Dark Knight versi pertempuran manusia vs. kera!<br />
<br />
Bermula dari 2016, ketika virus ALZ-113 mewabah seluruh dunia, melumpuhkan aktivitas ekonomi, hingga mematikan jutaan jiwa. Sepuluh tahun kemudian, ketika populasi manusia sudah makin menipis, Caesar (Andy Serkis) telah menjadi seorang pemimpin dari sebuah komunitas kera berjumlah besar. Bukan hanya pemimpin, ia juga merupakan suami dari Cornelia (Judy Greer) serta ayah dari Blue Eyes (Nick Thurston) dan adiknya yang baru saja lahir. Secara tak sengaja, Blue Eyes serta Ash (Doc Shaw) bertemu dengan segerombolan manusia, yang dipimpin Malcolm (Jason Clarke). Caesar, yang rupanya masih menyimpan memorinya terhadap manusia, menyuruh mereka pergi. Tapi, itu tidak cukup bagi Koba (Toby Kebbell), seekor simpanse yang menaruh dendam besar terhadap manusia. Menganggap Caesar bukanlah pemimpin tegas, ia pun menyiapkan <i>master plan </i>yang memantik konflik besar antar 2 kubu primata ini.<br />

Ya, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes bukan sekadar film tentang perang. Ini adalah karya yang penuh substansi di tengah kemegahan bungkus teknologi. Ia menyinggung apapun yang berkaitan dengan kemanusiaan lewat konflik perebutan spesies superior. Di departemen karakter, ketiga <i>screenwriter, </i>Mark Bomback, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, tak hanya menghadirkan Caesar, sang pelakon utama, primata yang menjunjungtinggi nilai kemanusiaan dan kedamaian, tapi juga primata lain, Koba, seekor primata yang hatinya telah buta akan kebencian terhadap manusia, yang secara perlahan justru menunjukkan sifat-sifat identik manusia. Di balik kedua primata utama ini, ada nilai yang ingin dihadirkan, sebuah isu penuh kemanusiaan yang sukses diangkat, yang anehnya justru muncul dari kaum simpanse.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sebuah revolusi di tengah evolusi, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes menawarkan narasi yang sekilas mungkin tak akan mungkin terjadi (<i>talking apes, etc.), </i>namun secara bersamaan ini adalah narasi yang berbicara banyak tentang <i>humanity</i> yang sangat relevan<i>. </i>Tapi, itu semua tak dihadirkan secara gamblang begitu saja, narasinya membawa penonton terhanyut dalam pendalaman emosi yang mangaduk-aduk. Matt Reeves mampu menyetir tiap emosi, membawa karya satu ini menjadi sebuah <i>rollercoaster </i>emosional. Sama sekali tak cengeng dan tak akan ada air mata yang akan keluar, namun Reeves dengan ahli mampu memetik tiap simpati yang penonton berikan pada tiap karakter, sembari menelurkan lebih banyak lagi karakterisasi simpanse maupun manusia dan mengisinya dengan sisi protagonis di kedua kubu, hingga akhirnya mengantarkan tiap penonton pada persimpangan 'siapa yang harusnya dibela?'.<br />

<br />
Untuk melihat peperangan besar itu, memang dibutuhkan sedikit kesabaran. Tapi, keputusan untuk lebih memperdalam drama serta emosi ketimbang dengan langsung mengekspos konflik secara besara-besaran tentu merupakan keputusan tepat. Karena, selain pendalaman emosi dilakukan dengan sangat, sangat baik dan hal ini juga efektif dalam membangun substansi cerdas dalam dramanya, semuaa ini memang terbayar ketika Reeves perlahan menunjukkan taji puncak konfliknya, sebuah peperangan yang intens sekaligus memaksa otak untuk bekerja. Bagi penggila <i>action </i>yang kaya akan <i>speciel effects, </i>mungkin akan menganggap film ini terlalu statis. Tentu, itu bila anda membandingkannya dengan Transformers yang menghancurkan apapun yang ada di hadapannya. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes memang menampilkan <i>chaos </i>yang 'megah', namun ia masih 'berotak' dengan banyak hal yang mampu dipetik, tak sekadar meluluhlantakkan San Fransisco yang sejatinya memang telah hancur sejak awal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Tak hanya berjasa di situ, seperti yang ada pada judulnya, Matt Reeves mampu membawa atmosfer yang kaya akan kekelaman. Menggunakan <i>tone </i>gelap dalam sinematografi hingga menciptakan bumi yang kaya kehancuran, ia bukan hanya membawa suasana <i>dystopian </i>yang meyakinkan, tapi juga memberi penonton sebuah dunia penuh konflik berkepanjangan dan berhasil menuntun tiap orang untuk hanyut di dalamnya. Hasilnya, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes merupakan perjalanan yang epik dari awal hingga kredit bergulir, tak hanya kelam di permukaan namun juga kelam hingga ke akar-akarnya. Sebuah pengarahan gemilang dari seorang Matt Reeves yang dengan berani mengambil berbagai resiko ketimbang bermain aman.<br />

<br />
Tak pernah ada yang meragukan kualitas Andy Serkis dalam melakoni karakter-karakter berbalut CGI. Perannya sebagai Caesar pun telah teruji dalam Rise of the Planet of the Apes, tapi kini ia membawa aroma baru dalam karakternya. Sebagai seekor kera, ia penuh kedewasaan dan wibawa, lengkap dengan jalannya yang tegap. Ia merupakan 'seekor' <i>saint </i>alias orang suci yang pada beberapa kaumnya dianggap sebagai kegagalan dalam memimpin sementara yang lain menganggapnya sebagai bagian dari kebijaksanaan. Kemunculannya di awal dan perpisahan di akhir selalu mengundang decak kagum, membuat siapapun tak akan mampu melupakan si pemimpin. Ini berhasil membuktikan bahwa <i>mocap performance </i>bukanlah tentang berakting di bawah bayang-bayang teknologi, melainkan memberikan sentuhan-sentuhan teknologi tersebut jiwa dan nyawa, yang kita sebut 'kehidupan'.<br />
<br />
Andy Serkis tentu tak sendiri. Dibaliknya, ada segenap talenta berbakat lain. Ada Toby Kebbell yang tak kalah briliannya sebagai Koba, kera yang perlahan berubah menjadi mesin pembunuh. Di balik kostum <i>motion capture </i>dan bintik-bintik di wajahnya, ia mampu menjalankan 2 tugas utamanya dengan sangat baik. Sebagai kera, ia memiliki segalanya dari <i>gesture </i>hingga teknologi yang turut membantunya. Sebagai antagonis, ia kejam, tak kenal ampun, dan buta akan kebencian. Sementara itu, dari klan manusia, ada Jason Clarke dan Gary Oldman yang menonjol. Meski harus diakui peran mereka tak semenantang para kera, namun tak akan ada yang menampik bahwa keduanya berlakon memuaskan.<br />
<br />

<br />
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes tak akan pernah lepas dari teknologi <i>motion-capture</i>-nya, ini artinya tak akan pernah lepas pula dari departemen <i>special effects. </i>Seperti pendahulunya, film ini masih hadir dengan <i>special effects </i>rumit dan kaya detail khas Weta, yang bahkan hadir dengan penampilan lebih matang. Para primata hadir dengan penampilan meyakinkan, tampak nyata dengan tekstur kulit serta rambut-rambut yang terlihat begitu rumit. Ini menjadi seperti yang kita lihat dalam Gravity, di mana tiap CGI menjadi bagian krusial, bukan hanya sebagai ajang unjuk <i>budget </i>tinggi. Anda mungkin sudah tak dapat mengenali mana yang asli dan mana yang hasil gubahan komputer, atau anda bahkan tak mengenali bahwa yang di depan mata anda adalah rekayasa teknologi. Meski begitu, semua ada batasnya. Apa yang anda lihat adalah efek komputer di sana-sini, namun hal ini tak pernah menutupi tiap emosi dan narasinya yang 'berotak'.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes bukan hanya bekerja dengan baik di sisi <i>blockbuster, </i>penuh ledakan dan keseruan. Tapi di sisi lainnya, film ini tetap membawa substansi besar yang mampu hadir menonjol dan tak pernah sekalipun tertutup <i>special-effects </i>yang tak kalah besar itu. Matt Reeves berhasil membangun ikatan emosional mendalam pada tiap 'spesies', memberikan tiap dari mereka ruang lega untuk berkembang dan sekaligus bagi substansi itu sendiri untuk melangkah lebih jauh, menyentil tiap isu yang 'sayangnya' memang relevan untuk saat ini. Dengan diisi oleh salah satu <i>cast </i>berbasis teknologi <i>motion-capture, </i>Dawn of the Planet of the Apes hadir dengan kualitas yang terbaik di jajarannya, lengkap dengan Andy Serkis yang lagi-lagi begitu brilian sebagai Caesar. Menolak bermain aman, ini adalah sebuah perkawinan manis antara kulit serta isi yang penuh kecerdasan, emosi, drama, visual cantik, serta keseruan yang hadir saling melengkapi. <i>Dawn of the Planet of the Apes</i> <i>is 'officially' the best summer blockbuster of the year, and one of the best of all time!</i></div>

<br /></div>
Ada banyak film yang mengambil sebuah sudut pandang penderita kanker. Tahun ini, mereka kedatangan anggota baru, The Fault in Our Stars. Diadaptasi dari novel berjudul sama dari John Green, The Fault in Our Stars adalah sebuah <i>romcom </i>pahit-manis tentang romasa dua remaja pederita kanker, yang naskahnya ditulis oleh kolaborasi Scott Neustadter dan Michael H. Weber. Di bangku sutradara, ada nama Josh Boone, yang mungkin terdengar cukup asing, mengingat ini adalah karya kedua sang sutradara muda setelah <i>romcom </i>Stuck in Love. Sementara itu, lini <i>cast-</i>nya dipimpin oleh dua bintang muda, Shailene Woodley dan Ansel Elgort, plus pelakon veteran yang juga merupakan anak aktor Bruce Dern, Laura Dern.<br />
<br />
Mengambil latar di Indianapolis, Indiana, The Fault in Our Stars adalah kisah dari sudut pandang seorang gadis 16 tahun, Hazel Graze Lancaster (Shailene Woodley). Ia bukanlah gadis biasa, di tengah usianya yang belia, ia harus berjuang melawan kanker tiroid yang kini telah menjalar hingga paru-parunya, yang memaksa Hazel untuk terus bernapas melalui selang dari tabung oksigen yang selalu ia bawa kemanapun. Ibunya, Frannie Lancaster (Laura Dern), percaya bahwa Hazel tengah mengalami depresi, dan memutuskan untuk memasukkan Hazel ke dalam <i>support group </i>di mana orang-orang seperti dia berkumpul. Meski Hazel awalnya menolak, dengan terpaksa ia pun bergabung dengan kelompok tersebut, hanya agar ibunya senang.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh_8AdmjR_OFMqLmh28d3qgaePVWrpOh9UOdTKCSM98uR3Smjjsz-i3KAjIfZyGnOG5yTwCT7MlIrrygVKpXpldkTiVR9fnKhNtbgSF_G4X4HlHpBJ8oFfZxJHTXtjbgK6u-MJkb1wTvE/s1600/tfios2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh_8AdmjR_OFMqLmh28d3qgaePVWrpOh9UOdTKCSM98uR3Smjjsz-i3KAjIfZyGnOG5yTwCT7MlIrrygVKpXpldkTiVR9fnKhNtbgSF_G4X4HlHpBJ8oFfZxJHTXtjbgK6u-MJkb1wTvE/s1600/tfios2.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Ketika telah bergabung dengan <i>support group </i>tersebut, ia tak merasa banyak perubahan dalam kehidupannya yang ia anggap membosankan, kecuali ia harus pergi ke <i>support group, </i>yang menurutnya malah membuat hidupnya tambah membosankan. Tapi, itu tak bertahan lama. Hidupnya seketika berubah, setelah pertemuannya dengan anggota baru kelompok tersebut, Augustus 'Gus' Walters (Ansel Elgort), seorang penderita kanker tulang yang berhasil bertahan hidup setelah ia mengamputasi kaki kirinya. Tak seperti lainnya, Gus adalah pribadi menyenangkan, yang membuat mereka berdua menjadi cepat akrab. Mereka bertukar pikiran, hingga bertukar hobi masing-masing. Salah satunya adalah saat Hazel memberi Gus novel favoritnya yang berjudul An Imperial Affliction karya Peter Van Houten (Willem Dafoe). Sampai di titik ini, Hazel mungkin saja akan mendapatkan kejutan terbesar dalam hidupnya.<br />
<br />
Ya, sebagai romansa remaja berbumbu drama pilu, ini mungkin sedikit <i>cheesy. </i>Tapi, apakah ini dangkal? Sama sekali tidak. Naskahnya begitu sederhana, tak banyak kompleksitas secara cerita, namun itu sama sekali bukan masalah, karena kisahnya sendiri telah menawarkan kompleksitas secara emosi yang mampu digali dengan baik. Di tengah tragedi yang datang silih berganti, ia rupanya masih punya banyak kekuatan untuk membawa humor-humornya yang penuh tawa. Takaran pengaduk emosi hadir dengan porsi pas, tanpa pernah terasa dikemas dengan berlebihan. Akhirnya, ini bukan melodrama yang luar biasa manipulatif, memang banyak mengunang air mata, namun The Fault in Our Stars lebih memilih membawa semuanya dengan kejujuran, membiarkan penonton hanyut dalam tiap karakter. The Fault in Our Stars memang dekat dengan kematian, namun ini sama sekali bukan tentang itu.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tapi, meski memang tak memiliki struktur teramat kompleks, The Fault in Our Stars tetaplah menyimpan sebuah belokan tajam yang seketika merubah pandangan penonton. Awalnya, ini memang terlihat kisah tentang bagaimana agar permintaan terakhir Hazel dapat terpenuhi, namun ketika kita hampir sampai di titik itu, semuanya seketika berubah. <i>Well, not that kind of shock you got from The Prestige, but still pretty shocking.</i> Ada perubahan atmosfer yang benar-benar drastis, namun di sisi lain, ini membuat segala hal menjadi lebih berwarna, membuat The Fault in Our Stars tak melulu menyampaikan sebuah kisah yang itu-itu saja. Meski memang, secara keseluruhan naskahnya bukanlah hal yang luar biasa.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Arahan seorang Josh Boone sejujurnya, juga bukanlah suatu hal yang sangat istimewa. Tapi, perlu diakui, bahwa ia telah melakukan tugas-tugasnya dengan sangat baik. Boone mampu membawa The Fault in Our Stars sebagai kisah yang bukan hanya dipenuhi kisah pilu dan kematian, tapi tetaplah sebuah romansa manis dan penuh cinta. Ia mampu bertutur sebuah kisah tentang sekumpulan manusia yang bergelut dan mencoba bertahan dari penyakitnya, namun di satu sisi tetap mampu menuturkan kisah yang kaya akan spirit positif dan ketika mencoba menggali sisi romansa, ia mampu membuat siapapun tersenyum sednri. Ini tetaplah sebuah <i>tearjerker </i>sejati, namun arahan Boone selalu ampuh dalam mengundang tawa yang hadir dengan ruang yang cukup banyak.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyTDfH8FEG1nDQqomfYm8FDVlch4_8iZKfBzluLiWLB57X-iEbzPkIMT2ZRHF4zTEA_vYOfBe9gAfaTPn0a6M6Gq3JKKQwVGtQgQDk0a78d00q7gQ5M4iHcFpSHhmVarD_1Ytg3SHWY4E/s1600/tfios6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyTDfH8FEG1nDQqomfYm8FDVlch4_8iZKfBzluLiWLB57X-iEbzPkIMT2ZRHF4zTEA_vYOfBe9gAfaTPn0a6M6Gq3JKKQwVGtQgQDk0a78d00q7gQ5M4iHcFpSHhmVarD_1Ytg3SHWY4E/s1600/tfios6.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Sebagai sentral film ini, ada Shailene Woodley, yang telah teruji lewat The Descendants, sekali lagi memberikan penampilan manis dan memilukan sebagai Hazel Grace. Dengan tabung oksigen yang ia bawa kemanapun, ia bukan tipe wanita <i>cengeng </i>yang hanya ingin dikasihani, Woodley berhasil mendefinisikan sosok wanita pemberani dalam dunia 'nyata', tanpa harus bergulat dengan stereotip wanita berfisik sempurna, tanpa perlu terus terjebak dengan karakter sejenis Erin Brockovich atau Natasha Romanoff. <i>Well, although the buzz is not that strong, this role might give her another chance for her first Oscar nomination, after AMPAS failed to recognize her in The Descendants.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Shailene Woodley bukan satu-satunya penampil memukau di sini. Ya, di lain sisi, karakter Shailene Woodley sendiri juga hidup berkat kharisma Ansel Elgort. Lewat Augustus, Elgort mampu membawa tiap keceriaan dalam kisah pedih ini. Diluar keadaannya, ia adalah sosok kharismatik, ceria, <i>doyan </i>berkelakar dengan senyuman pembunuh. Ia adalah penggombal luar biasa dengan perkataan-perkataan puitis, namun kita tahu bahwa itu semua memang datang dari dalam dirinya. Bagian terbaiknya ada ketika Woodley dan Elgort berada dalam satu <i>frame. </i>Tak hanya kokoh, <i>chemistry </i>yang terbentuk terasa sangat tulus, yang mungkin mampu membuat siapun lupa bahwa apa yang ada di depan mata mereka bukanlah sesuatu yang nyata.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Tapi, adalah Laura Dern yang memberikan penampilan 'menyakitkan', meski ia merupakan salah satu karakter yang hadir dengan keadaan sempurna. Seperti yang Hazel katakan sendiri, <i>"the only thing worse than biting it from cancer was having a kid bite it from cancer,</i>" dan ia memang benar. <i>Look at her facial expressions. S</i>etiap saat, ia mungkin terlihat ceria. Ia selalu tersenyum, tapi tentu senyum itu semua hanyalah cerminan dari apa yang ia telah lewati selama ini. Semua tahu bahwa di wajahnya tersembunyi sakit yang luar biasa, namun ajaibnya senyum dan optimisme itu tetap ada. <i>Screentime </i>yang ia miliki boleh jadi tak lama, tapi dengan penampilan memukaunya, ia mampu membekas di hati siapa saja.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Ini memang bukan romansa <i>coming-of-age </i>terbaik yang pernah ada. Sebagai tontonan <i>coming-of-age </i>pula, ini belum bisa menyentuh level yang pernah diraih The Spectacular Now atau pun The Perks of Being Wallflower. Tapi, sebagai sebuah romansa <i>tearjerker </i>khas remaja<i>, The Fault in Our Stars is an emotional rollercoaster anyone could ask for. Cengeng? </i>Ya. Tapi, apa salahnya? Toh, ia tak pernah melakukannya dengan berlebihan. Hadir dengan porsi cukup seimbang, banyak tawa yang tercipta di perjalanannya menuju sebuah kisah cinta manis-pahitnya. <i>Cast-</i>nya gemilang dengan <i>chemistry</i> Shailene Woodley dan Ansel Elgort yang tak terpisahkan serta Laura Dern yang tak boleh dilewatkan. Naskahnya mungkin bukan sebuah terobosan, tapi sebagai sebuah adaptasi novel, kesetiannya sudah lebih dari cukup. Sementara itu, arahan dari Boone juga mampu membawa penonton terhanyut dalam kisahnya, merasakan apa yang mereka rasakan, bersuka cita dan berduka bersama para karakternya. <i>And, that's what matters most.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
