my first kar wai movie



I’d never watched Wong Kar Wai’s movie before. What I know was, nearly all of my past gebetans liked his work. One day, I picked a DVD and bought it just because there was Jude Law on the cover and it’s dominated by purple color. The title was “My Blueberry Nights”, apparently by Wong Kar Wai. Very exiciting. Wong Kar Wai was meticulously detail, artsy, not to mention the addition of jazzy nighty diner songs, and great story flow. The story was mainly about how Lizzie (Norah Jones) redeemed her broken heart, the flow made the same old theme seemingly different and deeper. And, as other festival movies, the acting of the actor/actress was absolutedamnly great, including Norah Jones! Could you believe it? The shy girl acted! Moreover, Rachel Weisz and Natalie Portman practiced their southern accent with trashy dresses. Hehe. Very interesting. Another definition of romantic drama/comedy.

Laila: Really? I've always thought Wong Kar Wai's a bit overrated/overhyped. Dan Jude Law kok kesannya kejar setoran ya, krn dia main film banyak banget belakangan... still fairly good movies sih... tapi teuteup hehe.

Kapan yogaaaa?! :D

Laila: runi darling, i'm not gonna call you ignorant and racist, but probably just kuper dan nggak edgy banget dehhhh!!! hahahaha.

wong kar wai is this old time director (maksudnya, udah lama gitu bok) who's quite infamous for making so-called out-of-the-box Asian movies, terutama secara sinematografi.

run, i agree soal yoga di tempat yang lebih homey, tapi yesss gue akan menggeram if you mention places like bintaro *menggeram* hawhaw...
