Japanese Movie Week!

Actually I already had these movies ages ago from Cavin but I just watched them recently.

Spirited Away (2001)

Hayao Miyazaki + Ghibli turns out ga pernah ngecewain. Dari awal pace nya uda bagus banget, on point. No Face nya juara, ga heran karakter ini terkenal sejagad raya. Plot nya pernah mirip gue temuin di komik horor. Bagusnya sih ini ga horor dan ending nya not bad. Sepertinya Jepang punya something towards tunnel. Buat yang muslim sepertinya film ini ga halal hehehe..

Grave of The Fireflies (1988)

Ini adalah salah satu jenis film yang ketika lu mau tidur masih kepikiran. Yap, sedalem itu. Plot nya dari awal udah dibocorin tapi film ini berhasil banget bangun emosi penonton nya dari awal sampai akhir dan itu yang ditekankan, emosi dan perasaan. If you don't have them, you just might think this movie is boring. Salutnya Jepang adalah they always bring a piece of history and culture in their movie and war is indeed scary guys.

Hotarubi no Mori e (2011)

Kentang abis film nya, cuma berdurasikan 45 menit. Ibarat makan ga kenyang gitu. Ga ngerti maksudnya emang short movie atau apa. Tapi ini berasanya jadi kayak cuma baca komik yang isinya cerita pendek gitu. Tapi film ini lumayan terkenal ya, I've seen a glimpse of the scene somewhere gitu di TV or Youtube. Fix lah emang Jepang banyak setan kayaknya hahaha..

From Up on Poppy Hill (2011)

Well, semenjak film Oldboy, gue jadi punya this prejudice where this movie (actually almost every movie) might end up having "incest" thing between the main protagonist. Believe me guys, incest is creeping me out. It's a nightmare. Dan gue agak ga ngerti kenapa penulis story film ini memilih plotnya gitu haha (walau akhirnya bukan).. Kan bisa aja dibumbuin yang lain asal bukan incest. Lagu di film ini mirip lagu-lagu nya Mamerico which is somehow soothing. Setuju juga sama quote di film ini, "Destory the old and you destroy the memory of the past. Don't you care about the people who lived and died before us? There is no future for the people who worship the future and forget the past". Believe me guys, negara yang hebat itu adalah negara yang menghormati sejarah mereka. Itulah yang membedakan negara maju dan tidak.

The Garden of Words (2013)

Another 45 minutes movie. Dan lagi-lagi kentang. Kenapa orang Jepang suka banget bikin film ending nya kentang gitu. Kayak ga rela amat kalo kisahnya dituntasin. Kesannya kayak mau dibikin sequel atau apa gitu. Film ini cantik sekali sih, from every aspect. Actually, I don't oppose teacher&student or age gap relationship as long as the feeling is pure of love (not pedophile or maniac kinda thing). I believe (and want to believe!) that every human-being deserves and suppose to have someone in their live to share life with, no matter their age, background or anything (once again, as long as it's not incest!). I kinda hated if the movie ends with the protagonist living alone.
