Pelancong Waktu

*warning: very very very spoiling

Still considering how I feel about Time Traveler's Wife; either amazed or cynical. What had come to the director's (or the novelist') mind, using the time-traveling idea? To show how Clare and Henry's extraordinary romance troubled by his "involuntary disappearance" all the time? Well, I tell you what. It only makes them a perfect couple. He tells the teenage her that they'll get married. Thus, she loves him all of her life. He "travels" on their wedding day but the older him comes up helping. When they are older, they argue, and he has a vasectomy. But the younger, naive, and funnier him shows up to make her laugh, even make her pregnant! And when he dies, they still can meet because he pays some visit from the past. Oh, don't forget some additional values; he's handsome, she's beautiful, her dad's a Republican, his parents are musician. What can you ask more? Well, of course, the film will make you weep... a lot. That's why I think it deserves four stars.

    Menit 15
    Hmmm.. ide ttg time traveler masih terasa konyol. Yg terbayang masih wajah bloon Hiro Nakamura dlm serial Heroes. Tapi aku suka warna-warna grunge dari dekade-dekade silam itu. (Efek kamera apa post-production sih ?) Plus bonusnya, Rachel McAdams, my favourite. Senyumnya ! (sedikiit lebih bagus dr pemilik blog ini yg suka manyun). Dan gadis kecil Claire itu bicara dengan lagak yg bikin gemes.

    Menit 23
    Aku pernah kenal dg seseorang yang mengarsipkan setiap percakapan dan tanggalnya. Siapa ya ? :D

    Menit 30
    Hahaha.. aku suka itu, kembali ke masa lalu, menemui ibu dan memujinya. Tapi aku mulai bingung dengan konsep umur dan waktu.

    Menit 75
    Vasektomi dan anak yg juga berpindah waktu adl ide yg terlalu aneh. Bahkan untuk cerita yg memang sudah aneh sedari awal. Aku tidak suka itu..

    The end
    Time travelling and well-known destiny. I don't get any point. Yea, it's the only reason why they married. But i don't count it. Maybe just one point. I like when Claire say, "i want u to stay." Sayangnya tidak ada yg bilang begitu padaku, kecuali Nyonya Dhyna. Kabur lagi aah... :)


    *aku masih lebih suka The Lake House. Temanya, masih seputar konsep waktu yang sublim. Tapi LH penuh kejutan, romantik & mengharukan. Tapi aku gak nangis, kok. Sumpah !*

    pada dasarnya Time Traveller n Lake House sama aja. kisah romance yg dibumbui surealisme permainan waktu buat ngasih sentuhan beda. n it works!

    tapi justru ak kebalik sm km. what you feel about time traveler is what i do about lake house. dr awal ak mikir idenya lake house konyol, maka sampe ending jg ak komentar aneh, tapi mau apa lagi, memang aneh sedari awal. so, film romance surealis yg bagus adalah yg bikin kita lupa kl itu gak mungkin, atau setidaknya tetap menikmati film walo tau itu gak mungkin.

    rachel mcadams emang oke, lebih ok dari eric bana yg perannya kok kayanya cowok macam gitu terus.

    gak nangis ntn lake house, krn emang filmnya kurang bagus tuh :D

    Ok, kita bdua sepakat bhw waktu yg surealis/sublim itu ide menarik. Tp aku lbh suka pola butterfly effect ktmbg well-known destiny. Apa krn aku mbawaknmu skuntum bunga dlm sbuah episode cinta monyet ms kcil lalu kau hrs mcintaiku ktk kita btemu lg saat dwasa? Konyol, bukan? Aku tdk suka ide yg linear. Mskpn bgtu aku msh bs myukai time traveller krn di 1/3 akhir filmnya bnyk tselip kjutan2 trlps dr soal romantis, mgharukn atau tidak. Aih, soal mnangis bareng pun kita tdk spkt?! Mauu dbaawa kmanaa... :D
