post-the fault in our stars

So yeah, I just watched the fault in our stars, I'm so freaking lucky because i get to see it like I watched it 6 days earlier than everyone in my country. The movie that I have been waiting since last year, the movie that I've been dying to see. Actually I want to see gus. Even though you just can see gus in 2 hours long but that's my reason. So how is it after you watch? What do you feel? 
What do i feel? I feel numb. I can not feel anything. I feel like I already lost my soul and I'm not exaggerating it, i'm more than serious. I LOVE GUS. BUT I AM NOT PREPARED TO LOSE GUS EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY KNEW IT. Every time I read the book I always cry in the end and said "why gus? Why gus have to go? Why? It's not fair." And i know Gus is just a fictional character but THANKS TO ANSEL ELGORT WHO HAVE DONE AMAZINGLY ACTING AND BE GUS I JUST CANT SAY HOW GOOD HE WAS. I could feel gus alive in the movie. So yeah the movie goes just like the book, how Hazel met Gus and their stories. 

Let me just tell you when my heart got broken okay? So it's begin when the scene is in Amsterdam. When Gus finally tell Hazel that he was going to die. i almost crying so hard that time but it stopped until Gus' pre-funeral. When Isaac tell "I DISLIKE LIVIN IN A WORLD WITHOUT AUGUSTUS WATERS." And I cried so hard when it comes to Hazel's turn to speech. This quote is one of my favorite quotes from tfios, "Gus, I cant say how thankful I am for our little infinity, you give me forever... Within the numbered days.." And i cried, i cried so hard that I could feel the pressure in my chest. AND THE FINAL: when Hazel got the call, when Hazel found out that Gus is dead. she cried so hard and me too, and my friend too. Even while I wrote this I still can not forget the scene, the picture of hazel who crying so hard when she found out that Gus is not here anymore...

For me, as a reader and as an audience I love it so much. I love the fault in our stars more than anything, the cast, shai, ansel, nat they really did a good acting. All the characters feels so alive in the movie, the music, josh boone as director and of course lovely John Green who writes this amazingly beautiful book, thank you for making a perfect fictional character who has an amazing smile that slayed a thousands heart hahaha. I can't wait to watch it again! 6 days to go!

(p.s. : i wear black dress so it's like i attended gus's funeral... Haha:) love you gus)





Let me give a quote from TFIOS book, Augustus's letter:
"What else? She is so beautiful. You don’t get tired of looking at her. You never worry if she is smarter than you: You know she is. She is funny without ever being mean. I love her. I am so lucky to love her, Van Houten. You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers."
Love always, 
Ret

Enterprise, Beam Me Up!

I love this movie so much! I watched Star Trek for the first time is when I watched Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013). It was a remake of the original movies with the original cast. Mr. Shatner, Mr. Nimoy, Mr. Kelley (RIP) are the best trio I've ever known. I loved them, Spock have his logic and Bones hates Spock but in a good way. I remember this quotes from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (I hoped I wasn't wrong, but I think it is, the scene was when they were having a camp together) and Bones said something that insult Spock but Spock said thank you. So Bones said, "I insult him, but he take that as a compliment." and another quote I liked from Bones is when he talked to Spock (again, haha) and being annoyed by Spock so he said, "God, I liked him better before he died." Anyway, my last but not least is Captain Kirk. I believe everybody do love Captain Kirk. William Shatner is Kirk, he has the charisma which I can't tell you why, I just loved him. I love Star Trek! 
I fell in love with Star Trek first, which made me a fan of Star Trek. I have already watched the movies from I-VI (it's the original motion picture) and for VII-X I am still on my way! I have already decided too to watch The Original Series and still downloading a lot of episodes. This movie is my favorite sci-fi ever. I've made that decision. So I want to review Star Trek (2009) first and then Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013).

Star Trek (2009)
So, the photo above is the comparison or differences between the old Star Trek and the new one. Everybody loves the original as always but my mom said that it was aired in our country in 60s so I guess it was pretty old. Very old. The reason Star Trek was getting a remake is maybe because of the fans that missed Star Trek so they can recall their memories of their Star Trek. 
As a newbie of Star Trek's fan, I just want to express my opinion about this first remake movie of Star Trek. This movie is good, very good, I love the visual, the plot was interesting, time-travel. The Prime Spock meets the Young Spock, it was pretty interesting. For the characters and casts in here, 
Karl Urban as Dr. Leonard McCoy (Bones). Give Karl Urban an applause as he plays the role of Dr. Leonard McCoy aka Bones! He is really good for being Bones and his acting was very natural and similar just like the original Bones. He was hot too (but that was just a plus plus for him). I thought DeForrest was mind melting him before he died, because there is no difference between them. Oh and also Urban was a fan of Star Trek when he was a child so, no doubt why he can act so natural... Bones is still my favorite character in Star Trek!
Chris Pine as Kirk, yup he was good. He was a good actor and in fact he is very handsome and hot. God help me. He has a deep unique voice and blue eyes that can melt you down in a second! But yep he was good for plays the role of Captain Kirk, but in this first remake of movie is just showing the story from Kirk and Spock when they were a child until Kirk join the Starfleet, making up a mess, getting a fight with Spock and have a responsibility for being a first officer with Spock being an acting captain which in the end he manipulate spock for signing out of being acting captain because Spock was emotionally screwed because he just lost his mother and his planet. So Kirk take the command and he became the acting captain of Enterprise!
Zach Quinto as Spock. He is hot too. When the first I watched Star Trek, I fell in love first with Spock. Maybe it's weird and maybe it's not because after that I browsed on the internet, and boom, Zach is sooooo hooooot. I can't say anthing, he is very good for plays the role of Spock.  He's too cute. 
Anton Yelchin as Pavel Chekov, he was good, I mean he is a Russian but I thought he really have those accents as Chekov but the fact is nope. He hasn't that accent yet he has fluent English. God. But he is a good actor. 
Simon Pegg as Scotty, well I only can say, "Can I get a towel please?" 
John Cho and Zoe Saldana is a good actor too in here, I mean they are all a great actor in here. My favorite scene in this movie is when Kirk meets Bones for the first time. I can remember some words, Bones said to Kirk, "Don't pander to me kid,........one tiny crack in the hull, and blahblah and see when your eyeballs are bleeding!" You may guessed how many times I watched this movies by this review. Actually I think I've watched it for more than 20 times. Alright, I will give you the clips and trailer, just for you.


So that was my chit-chat or my obsession as a newbie of Star Trek's fan. I'll update this post for Star Trek: Into Darkness review! Ciao!

perks

On this post I just want to talk about The Perks of Being A Wallflower book and movie, played by Logan Lerman as Charlie, Emma Watson as Sam and Ezra Miller as Patrick. I love the movie as much as I love the book. Somehow the book gave me some strength when I was literally a little bit depressed and so I listened to Asleep song by The Smiths. Such a beautiful song and I repeated it all the time. If you have listened the song before well maybe you know what is the song meaning of all lyrics. The other song that came from the book and movie is called 'Landslide' by Stevie Nicks and I loved it so much. The Perks novel was really amazing and if you haven't read it before, i think you should read it now! I was searching on a web before about people opinions about 'Asleep' song and the perks novel and the movie, and there's someone said that 'The Perks saved my life, you know, I was pretty fu*ked up and this book stopped me from hurting myself" and after I read his/her comment and I was like 'Wow' because I can feel like I was Charlie in the book so I can feel it too. There's another one from youtube top-comment on asleep-the smiths he/she said 
"Dear friend,
You do not know me but I am the guy who is in your school, the guy who sits alone at lunch. You don't notice me, but everyday I watch around me and understand. My best friend at school is a teacher (how sad is that?) and my favourite time of the day is the end bell. I go home to read what will become my next favourite book and try to fit in with my family even though we have nothing in common. I watch, I understand.
Sincerely,
The Wallflower"
Thanks whoever are you for being the top comment because I can read it lol, but it was all true. I can feel Charlie eventho I'm not exactly have been in a such situation but I love reading books, novels, biography or anything random, I loved it but only in one condition: if my reading mood was good, i would love read many books, if my reading mood was not good, i  'd collect them into my bookshelf.... hahaha.


What I could feel from Charlie is, he is alone and he's need a friend, when he was child he only has Aunt Helen as his friend so after he lost her, he might be feeling very depressed because it said that sometimes his blur memory about his aunt before his aunt that can come back anytime, with a blur memory. Oh no. I love you Charlie. But then he met Sam and Patrick, they became friends. Stephen Chbosky made an amazing book and the movie too. This is one of my best movie after Easy A. So my best movies are Easy A and The Perks. (Hey, I don't know why I loved Easy A so much, but I really like the movie and I can't tell you why I love it so much? Hahaha sometimes I got very confused too why I loved Easy A so much.) So it's already late and I don't know why I kept talking about this ha, so I need to get back to my bed and sleep. Goodnight.

Love,

Sugar Spring.
(Hey!! It's Charlie's style of writing his story! Ha!)

5cm

Okay so I wanna talk about 5cm movie. It is a movie based on novel and which is a true story and it was AMAZING MOVIE. Sometimes when a novel turns into a movie is not really good as we thought. But 5cm has a prove that I looooove it so much. I have read the novel by Donny Dirgantoro and it was like 3 months ago, I love the novel and i hope the movie can satisfied us who love the novel. I have realized that there are many things in here, in Indonesia. Such as a beautiful scenery of Semeru Mountain in Malang, and there are many of beautiful scenery in here. At first, i hate this country because the people in here, the government in here and traffic jam in jakarta. I hateeee it so much but then after ive read this novel, i finally realized that i love this country so much, the reason that i am not sure to study abroad is because i dont want to leave this country, i have friends in here, i have family, and i have my country. I was born in here, i used the soil in here, i drink a water from here and many little things that we havent thought about this country. Although i have never go to the Semeru mountain but seeing that mountain on movie and even by looking at the pictures made me really want to go there.

When i was in Perth, Aussie. I was staying at my cousin's apartment for 7 days, i thought "wow it gonna be so cool. I am definitely leaving this country" no i was wrong. Why? It is the weather in there, it was really really cold and windy and i have just realized that no one can compare Indonesia from other countries. Indonesia have a perfect weather eventhough sometimes it is really hot but there is no perfect weather as much as indonesia. I

Happy Hunger Games!

Happy Hunger Games! #HungerGamesAddict! After I've got One Directon Infection, now I've got the Hunger Games Addict! Hari ini hari dimana film Hunger Games keluar di bioskop-bioskop Indonesia. Dan awalnya gue dibolehin nonton itu hari sabtu sama nyokap. Tapi karena udah gak tahan dengan ke-kepoan gimana filmnya karena setelah baca novel gue udah bisa kebayang banget itu udah kaya film. You can see the trailer by clicking this: Hunger Games Movie Trailer.

Director: 

Gary Ross

Writers: 

Gary Ross (screenplay)Suzanne Collins(screenplay)and 2 more credits »

Stars:

 Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth " (from imdb.com)
Dan filmnya............... bagus kooook hahaha, karna gue udah baca novelnya nyambung-nyambung aja dan seperti ada yang hilang dari filmnya itu. Gue rasa emang di novel itu bener-bener bagus banget dan gue udah bisa ngebayangin filmnya bakal kaya gimana. Walau tidak sebagus novel, tp ya cukup bagus kok. Tapi gue gak tau deh untuk orang-orang yang belom sama sekali baca novelnya itu bakal ngerti jalannya apa gimana, tapi untuk semuanya itu bagus banget. Dan kelanjutan keingintahuan selanjutnya tentang buku yang kedua jadi berlanjut. Tapi apa daya harus nabung dulu sampe uang mencukupi harga itu bukua (maklum uang pelajar yang tiap hari menipis). Terjadi keanehan disaat gue membeli tiket, yaitu........ 
Epic. 'Hanger' Games??? Sumpah ini artinya mendadak jadi berubah kata dari 'Hunger' menjadi 'Hanger'. Tapi abaikan lah itu semua, intinya kalian harus nonton hunger games dan tidak lupa membaca trilogi nya ya! Walaupun gue sendiri belum selesai 2 buku hahaha. Intinya kalian harus baca dulu sih menurut gue, tp ya masing-masing orang kan beda intinya Hunger Games trilogy was great! Sooo goodnight! #happyhungergames

One Day

Anyway, baru aja gue nonton film 'One Day' yang main film itu adalah Anne Hathaway dan Jim Sturgess. Film itu bener-bener bikin gue seratus persen nangis gak berenti. Entah ini karna gue nya yang terlalu dibawa sedih atau gimana tapi setelah gue melihat review orang yang udah nonton itu film, mereka semua pasti nangis. Gue bingung ada aja film yang sesedih ini loh. Its all about romance and friendship. Tentang persahabatan yang disela persahabatan nya itu ada yang lebih dari sekedar sahabat tapi cuman gak mau buat ngakuinnya itu selama bertahun-tahun, and yes its a wasting time for realize. Yaudah gue kasih sinopsis, trailer One Day ya..
“One Day” tracks the crisscrossing fates of two good-looking people from 1988, when they are newly fledged, happily drunken university graduates, to a point just short of the present, which is to say middle age for them. The movie’s conceit, embedded in the title, is that all of the depicted action takes place, from one year to the next, on a single date, July 15. Being British, the two main characters — their names are Emma and Dex, and they are played by Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess — identify that square on the calendar as St. Swithin’s Day, which their American Gen-X counterparts may be more likely to know from the lovely, lovelorn Billy Bragg song of the same name. As far as I could tell, that tune is not heard on the soundtrack, though much else is, including a lush, swooning, deliciously anachronistic orchestral score by Rachel Portman and a handful of period-appropriate numbers. By the final credits, as a song by Elvis Costello drowns out the snifflings of the audience — late-season allergies? mourning for lost youth? (spoiler redacted?) — the structural principle of the movie may at last become clear. Though it was adapted from a best-selling novel (by David Nicholls, who wrote the screenplay), “One Day” is less a conventional story than a mixtape. (Source: movies.nytimes.com)

Alasan kenapa gue meng-rekomen ini untuk film ditonton karena ya ini film bagus banget. Intinya harus nonton banget deh. Selamat menonton guys! Goodnight:)
