I know it's kinda random, tapi gue lagi pengen bikin daftar tentang adegan musik favorit gue. Entah karakternya yang nyanyi atau bukan. Ini daftar tentang adegan musik, bukan film musikal atau soundtrack. Anyway, salah satu syarat untuk masuk ke daftar ini: setiap adegan harus menggunakan lagu yang mempunyai lirik, gak cuma instrumen musik.
18. Summer makes Tom's dream comes true
Lagu: You make my dreams come true - Hall & Oates
Film: (500) Days of Summer
Plot: Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) lagi ngefly gara-gara melakukan 'itu' dengan Summer (Zooey Deschanel).
Komentar: Gue rasa in perpaduan Broadway dan rock. Gue sama sekali gak nyangka adegan dansa dan over-the-top gaya Broadway bisa dicampur dengan musik rock seperti di adegan ini. Secara keseluruhan, adegan dan lagunya bisa menangkap perasaan orang yang lagi jatuh cinta. I love the choreography, the birds animation, and the song!
17. You can dance, you can jive!
Lagu: Dancing Queen - Mamma Mia Cast ver.
Film: Mamma Mia (2008)
Plot: Donna (Meryl Streep) lagi galau karena mantannya muncul lalu dua temannya menghiburnya
Komentar: Seriously, gue gak peduli umur lo berapa, kalau lo gak tahu lagu Dancing Queen, kebudayaan (?) lo dangkal banget. I know it's kinda racist, tapi gue merasa kehadiran cewek-cewek di adegan ini memberikan pesan untuk cewek-cewek buat pede aja dan have fun! Girl, you can dress like Voldemort while dancing and jiving confidently! Adegan ini agak mengingatkan gue dengan lagunya Cyndi Lauper yang berjudul Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. I really love Meryl Streep's swag!
16. We can be heroes
Lagu: Heroes - David Bowie
Film: Perks of Being a Wallflower
Plot: Sam (Emma Watson) dan Patrick (Ezra Miller) memutuskan untuk mengajak Charlie (Logan Lerman) berjalan-jalan dengan truk mereka.
Komentar: Film ini membuat gue jatuh cinta sama David Bowie. I know it sounds cliche, but David Bowie's heroes (somehow) is the right song for the misfit teenagers and victims of bully. Sebenarnya lagu Heroes bukanlah lagu yang punya aransemen yang kompleks seperti Bohemian Rhapsody atau lagu yang paling terkenal, tapi gabungkan lagu ini dengan truk dan Logan Lerman, and we'll have a beautiful and epic scene.
15. They are not alone
Lagu: We are not alone - Karla Devito
Film: The Breakfast Club
Plot: The Breakfast Club memutuskan untuk bersantai dan berdansa!
Komentar: This scene is fucking cliche and so...80's. Tapi mereka benar-benar terlihat bersenang-senang dan gerakan mereka menunjukkan karakter mereka masing-masing. Adegan ini menunjukkan individualisme dan kebersamaan di waktu yang sama. Mereka menunjukkan bahwa mereka adalah criminal, princess, atau basket, but at the same time, they dance together.
14. "Two drifters off to see the world."
Lagu: Moon River - Audrey Hepburn
Film: Breakfast at Tiffany's
Plot: Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) menyanyikan sebuah lagu di dekat jendelanya.
Komentar: Gue suka banget tatapan sayunya Audrey Hepburn. Hepburn tidak mencoba untuk menyanyikannya dengan nada yang terlalu tinggi, tapi dia menyanyikannya dengan begitu lembut, seakan-akan dia masuk ke dalam suatu fantasi atau memori. It's like...she whispers to herself, you know what I mean? Fyi, penulis lagu ini menulis ulang lagu Moon River untuk disesuaikan dengan range vokalnya Hepburn.
13. "It seems like old times."
Lagu: Seems Like Old Times - Diane Keaton
Film: Annie Hall
Plot:
1. Annie (Diane Keaton) menyanyikan sebuah lagu di bar.
2. Alvy (Woody Allen) mengingat kembali hubungannya dengan Annie dan bertemu lagi dengan Annie
Komentar: I love both the scenes. Untuk adegan yang pertama, gue suka adegan itu karena tatapan Diane Keaton yang kuat, rambutnya yang acak-acakan, dan gaya bajunya yang cukup berbeda. Kebanyakan film menggunakan cewek seksi atau feminim di adegan menyanyi seperti di film Blue Velvet, tapi Annie Hall melakukannya dengan simpel.
Gue suka adegan yang kedua karena lirik lagu ini menekankan kenangan Alvy akan hubungannya dengan Annie. Secara umum, adegan ini bukan adegan yang bakal bikin penonton nangis, tapi gue tetap merasa bersimpati dengan Alvy dan frustasi atas kegagalan hubungan mereka.
12. When Jesse was Loved.
Lagu: When She Loved Me - Sarah McLachlan
Film: Toy Story 2
Plot: Jesse (Joan Cusack) menjelaskan mengapa ia tidak suka rencana Woody (Tom Hanks) untuk kembali ke Andy.
Komentar: Gue gak nangis kok waktu nonton ini, cuma ada orang bego yang motong bawang deket gue. Lagunya simpel, penyanyinya juga tidak berusaha untuk mencapai not yang benar-benar tinggi seperti lagu My Heart Will Go On atau lagu lain seperti itu. Tapi hal itu memberikan efek kekosongan & kesepian serta menangkap perasaan Jesse. Sekarang kita tahu perasaan Jesse when she was loved.
11. The not-so Quiet Family
Lagu: Ubangi Stomp - Stray Cats
Film: The Quiet Family
Plot: Sebuah keluarga ketimpaan begitu banyak 'kemujuran'.
Komentar: Lagunya punya banyak teriakan disini, makanya gue sempet ngira kalau teriakannya dari filmnya. Ternyata dari lagunya, haha. Lagunya yang rada nyeleneh emang cocok banget dengan black comedy yang sangat kental pada adegan ini, haha.
10. It had to be Sally
Lagu: It had to be you - Frank Sinatra
Film: When Harry met Sally
Plot: Harry (Billy Crystal) sadar akan perasaannya dengan Sally (Meg Ryan) dan memutuskan untuk menyusulnya.
Komentar: One of the most romantic scene I've ever watched. Sekarang tiap kali gue dengar lagu It had to be you, gue malah ngebayangin adegan ini, haha. I think when two people fight for their love (in movies), it's so beautiful and touching. Terkadang dalam hidup, kita menemukan orang yang spesial dan cuma mereka yang bisa 'melengkapi' kita in a way or another.
9. Tom is the hero, no need to be saved
Lagu: Hero - Regina Spektor
Film: (500) Days of Summer
Plot: Realita Tom tidak sejalan dengan ekspektasinya.
Komentar: He never ever saw it coming at all. Bahkan lirik awalnya sudah sesuai dengan ceritanya. This bitter song just fit with the whole scene and story. Adegan ini gak sedih, bahkan cenderung lucu, tapi gue selalu merasakan sedikit kepahitan karena adegan ini everybody's story. Ketika kita sudah mengharapkan sesuatu dari doi, tapi hal itu gak sejalan dengan realita yang kita alami. It's funny and frustrating at the same time
8. Ferris meets Twist & Shout
Lagu: Twist & Shout - The Beatles
Film: Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Plot: Di hari 'libur' ini, Ferris (Matthew Broderick) memutuskan untuk mengajak orang-orang berjoget dan menyanyi.
Komentar: Sebelum gue nonton Ferris Bueler, gue gak terlalu suka lagu Twist & Shout. Tapi
adegan ini langsung mengubah pikiran gue! Keren juga gimana satu
adegan bisa mengubah pendapat gue tentang satu lagu, haha. Just like the dance scene from The Breakfast Club, adegan Twist & Shout 80an banget! But I really love the choreography and the landscape! Film ini mengubah lagu rock biasa menjadi dance rock, haha.
7. Party with Queen and Zombies
Lagu: Don't Stop Me Now - Queen
Film: Shaun of the Dead
Plot: Shaun (Simon Pegg) dan teman-temannya berusaha mengusir zombie sambil mendengarkan lagu Don't Stop Me Now.
Komentar: This scene is freakin' hilarious!!! Don't Stop Me Now is never the same again for me, lol.
6. "The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Music"
Lagu: The Sound of Music - Julie Andrews
Film: The Sound of Music
Plot: Maria (Julie Andrews) berjalan-jalan di Pegunungan Alpen dan mengagumi alam.
Komentar: I fell in love with this scene instantly after I had watched it. Gue
jadi ingat kalau dulu gue satu-satunya anak SD di kelas yang tahu film
ini, haha. Menurut gue, unsur utama yang membuat film ini begitu iconic dan memorable adalah pemandangan di sekitar Pegunungan Alpen. Seriously, those picture of Alpen Mountains are damn breathtaking! Film ini juga yang membuat Pegunungan Alpen tambah terkenal. Adegan dimana Julie Andrews lost her mind dan
nari-nari gak jelas mungkin kelihatan cocok atau bagus. Tapi coba lo
bayangin kalau lu lihat orang kayak gitu di kehidupan nyata...
5. Don't Rain on Streisand's Parade
Lagu: Don't Rain on My Parade - Barbra Streisand
Film: Funny Girl
Plot: Fanny (Barbra Streisand) mencoba untuk menyusul Nick Arnstein (Omar Sharif).
Komentar: Funny Girl mengenalkan gue pada Yang Mulia Barbra Streisand. Gue langsung terpukau dengan akting dan kemampuan vokal Barbra Streisand ketika gue menonton film pas SD. Passion, firmness and confidence mewarnai lagu ini. Akibatnya Don't Rain on my Parade berhasil menekankan Fanny's infatuation kepada Nick. I don't know about you, but I think this scene has some...swag aspect, I guess?
4. Time of (Their) Life
Lagu: (I've had) The Time of my Life - Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes
Film: Dirty Dancing
Plot: Johnny (Patrick Swayze) dan Baby (Jennifer Grey) memutuskan untuk berdansa bersama.
Komentar: Pengetahuan lo tentang pop culture perlu dipertanyakan kalau lo gak tahu adegan dan lagu di film ini. This scene is almost perfect. I love the catchy song, the chemistry between Swayze and Grey, and some sensuality in the dance. But most of all, gue senang bagaimana Swayze dan Grey berusaha untuk benar-benar terlihat menikmati adegan dansanya. Karena gak mudah untuk mengafal langkah dansa, berakting, membuat chemistry dengan pasangan lo, DAN terlihat menikmati itu semua. Adegan ini menyadarkan gue kalau adegan yang terlihat mudah dan natural sebenarnya tidak melalui proses yang mudah dan 'natural'.
3. "Circle of Life."
Lagu: Circle of Life - Carmen Twillie
Film: The Lion King
Plot: Seluruh 'rakyat' datang ke istana dan menyambut calon raja baru Pride Rock.
Komentar: I love the song, especially the choir in the background. Liriknya juga indah sekali dan menjelaskan lingkaran kehidupan dengan cukup puitis. Gambar-gambarnya cantik sekali, gue suka banget adegan dimana matahari terbit lalu semua hewan pergi ke Pride Rock. Kearifan Mufasa dan Rafiki terlihat sekali disini. Adegan dimana Simba 'dibaptis' is so damn epic but realistic at the same time. Why? Karena bahasa tubuh dan ekspresi Simba memperlihatkan kecanggungan dan ketidaknyamanan. Overall, this scene is so beautiful and emotional for me. Adegan ini menyentuh perasaan dan hati gue tanpa menggunakan dialog, how great is that? Sejauh ini hanya dua film Disney yang berhasil melakukan itu, yaitu The Lion King dan Up.
2. Alex's Singing in the R(ape)
Lagu: Singing in the Rain - Malcolm McDowell
Film: A Clockwork Orange
Plot: Alex (Malcolm McDowell) dan gangnya memutuskan untuk menyerang sebuah rumah dan memperkosa seorang wanita.
Komentar: Kubrick meminta McDowell untuk berimprovisasi dengan cara menyanyi pada adegan ini. McDowell menyanyikan lagu Singing in the Rain karena lagu itu merupakan satu-satunya lagu yang ia hafal. Adegan ini menekankan kesadisan Alex dengan cara memperlihatkan betapa mudahnya ia memperkosa seorang wanita sambil menyanyikan lagu dengan lirik yang cukup polos. Which also means, Alex enjoys how he dominates his victim. I watch the original clip of "Singing in the Rain" from the original movie, and I still can't imagine how the f*ck McDowell chose this song for a violent scene...
1. "In dreams"
Lagu: In Dreams - Roy Orbinson
Film: Blue Velvet
Plot:
1. Ben (Dean Stockwell) melakukan lipsync lagu In Dreams untuk Frank (Dennis Hopper).
2. Frank memutuskan untuk memberikan Jeffrey (Kyle MacLachlan) sebuah 'pelajaran' di depan Dorothy (Isabella Rossellini).
Komentar: This scene is eyegasm. Pada adegan pertama, gue suka banget sudut pengambilan gambar, efek warna pada setting tempat, serta make-up Dean Stockwell yang nyentrik banget. Kudos for Stockwell, his acting was so great in this scene!
Pada adegan kedua, gue suka banget lipstick pada bibir Frank Hopper dan Kyle MacLachlan. It's so...surreal. Belum lagi tangisan Isabella Rossellini dan bencong yang joget-joget gak jelas diatas mobil. Everything just matches and on place.
Gue gak tahu apa yang David Lynch coba sampaikan di dua adegan tersebut, tapi In Dreams memang memberikan efek surealis lebih pada dua adegan diatas.

Imperfect Love Stories
*SPOILER ALERT*
Imperfect yang dimaksud di artikel ini berbeda dari unsur-unsur melodrama seperti perjodohan, perbedaan kelas sosial, cinta segitiga, perpisahan, dll. Untuk film Shrek, saya mengadakan pengecualian dan imperfection hanya merujuk pada imperfection fisik yang sangat jarang hadir pada film-film fairytale umumnya.
Saya tertarik dengan film-film romance yang membahas masalah internal sebuah pasangan secara konstan, menarik, dan realistis. Bagi saya, film-film seperti itu bagaikan buku pelajaran yang mengasyikkan atau sebuah jendela kehidupan orang lain. Salah satu hal yang saya pelajari di kehidupan ini, sebuah cerita, walaupun sangat fiktif dan penuh dengan imajinasi, pasti mengandung sesuatu yang bersifat autobiografi, alias si pengarang atau penulis pernah mengalami hal tersebut, atau mempunyai seseorang yang ia 'masukkan' ke dalam karyanya. Itulah alasan-alasan yang menyebabkan saya menyukai film-film yang realistis. Selain itu, saya memang tertarik dengan karya-karya yang mempunyai sifat-sifat imperfect, realistis, hancur, abstrak, dan mengandung perasaan sakit, kekecewaan, marah, dan depresi. Saya justru tidak suka dengan film-film dangkal dan terlalu simpel. Orang-orang mengatakan film-film seperti itu mudah untuk ditonton, tapi bagi saya film-film itu hanya membuat darah tinggi. Karena film-film itu seperti itu tidak punya sesuatu untuk dianalisis atau direnungkan.
Cukup dengan celotehan saya, di bawah adalah imperfections yang saya tangkap dari enam film berikut :
1. Annie Hall (Woody Allen, 1977)
The imperfection : insecurity Annie (Diane Keaton) dan Alvy (Woody Allen) dalam menjalani hubungan.
Insecurity dan low self-esteem sudah hadir pada Annie dan Alvy sebelum mereka saling mengenal. Annie merasa dirinya hanyalah gadis kecil dari Chippewa Falls di kota besar dan Alvy selalu merasa tidak nyaman dengan keramaian, padahal ia seorang komedian jenius! Mereka berdua berusaha memperbaiki masalah masing-masing dengan pergi ke psikiater, tapi akhirnya hanya Annie yang 'sembuh', sedangkan Alvy hanyalah...Alvy.
Dalam diri Annie masih terdapat jiwa yang suka bereksplorasi, sehingga ia cepat berkembang dan 'sembuh'. Sedangkan Alvy tidak suka perubahan-perubahan besar sehingga ia stuck dan lambat berkembang. Perbedaan 'kecepatan' dalam keduanya hanya menyebabkan suatu hubungan yang gagal.
Tidak hanya itu, andai kata Alvy dari dulu mengatasi masalahnya, ia akan tetap bersama Annie. Apa yang terjadi pada Alvy sebenarnya seringkali terjadi banyak orang. Banyak orang yang terlalu keras mengkritik diri mereka sendiri, atau tidak nyaman di keramaian, tapi mereka mengabaikannya. Mereka menghipnotis diri mereka sendiri dengan berkata bahwa itu tidak apa-apa, padahal hal itu bisa mempengaruhi hubungan mereka dengan banyak orang di masa depan. Mereka membiarkan hal itu lekat pada diri mereka, tanpa berusaha memperbaikinya.
2. Shrek (Andrew Adamson & Vicky Jenson, 2001)
The imperfection : Beauty and the beast issue
Siapa sih yang pernah membayangkan bakalan ada film fairytale dimana pangerannya pendek, ksatrianya seorang ogre yang cuma bawa keledai, dan seorang putri yang bisa menjaga dirinya sendiri?
Tidak hanya itu, film ini juga mengajarkan don't judge the book by the cover. Shrek (Mike Myers), seseorang yang mengerikan, bisa menjadi sosok yang caring dan lucu setelah mengenal Fiona (Cameron Diaz). Shrek juga tidak merendahkan Fiona setelah tahu ia ahli dalam bela diri. Intinya, gak semua hal sesuai dengan yang terlihat atau yang kita kira.
Tapi masih ada satu pelajaran lagi, yang kayaknya perlu banget diresap oleh remaja-remaja jaman sekarang : cinta tidak mengenal fisik. Cinta sendiri sesuatu yang lebih besar daripada penampilan fisik. Karena itu saya tidak percaya pada love at first sight, karena tidak ada bedanya dengan cinta karena fisik saja.
3. (500) Days of Summer (Marc Webb, 2009)
The imperfection : miscommunication antara Tom dan Summer
Sering kali kita merasakan suatu spark atau ikatan dengan seseorang dan kita sering mengira orang itu juga merasakan apa yang kita rasakan. Padahal kenyataannya tidak, dan spark atau apapun hanya terjadi di imajinasi kita. Bisa saja itu perasaan naksir belaka, atau baru tahap suka, bukan cinta.
Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), yang merasa Summer (Zooey Deschanel) bekerja di perusahaannya karena ia ditakdirkan untuk bertemu Tom, langsung berasumsi bahwa Summer adalah the one. Tom langsung berasumsi bahwa Summer membalas perasaannya dari tindakan-tindakannya. Karena dibutakan oleh rasa sukanya pada Summer dan kepercayaannya pada the one, Tom mengabaikan sinyal-sinyal yang berbeda dari Summer. Sinyal-sinyal yang menyatakan Summer tidak sepenuhnya merasakan perasaan Tom.
Sebaliknya, Summer mengira tindakan-tindakan Tom merupakan tanda bahwa ia mengerti their relationship is just for fun. Tidak ada status tertentu seperti boyfriend and girlfriend. Summer tidak merasakan ikatan batin yang kuat dengan Tom dan mungkin mengira bahwa rasa suka Tom akan cepat menghilang. Karena mereka berdua merasa bahwa pasangan masing-masing sudah mengerti -padahal tidak- terjadilah miskomunikasi. Seandainya tidak pernah terjadi miskomunikasi, mereka bisa tetap menjadi teman, atau Tom dan Summer mendapat happy ending karena Tom tidak lagi childish dan lebih mengerti pandangan Summer.
4. Blue Valentine (Derek Cianfrance, 2010)
The imperfection : young marriage couple issue
Dean (Ryan Gosling) dan Cindy (Michelle Williams) merupakan pasangan suami-istri muda. Mereka sendiri baru mengenal beberapa bulan sebelum memutuskan untuk menikah. Hal itulah yang menyebabkan mereka tidak terlalu mengenal satu sama lain, dan baru menyadari apa yang 'salah' dari satu sama lain setelah menikah.
Belum lagi mereka sudah merasa letih dan tidak mau mendengar pasangan masing-masing. Dean tidak mau berkompromi dengan Cindy ketika memesan motel, sedangkan Cindy tidak benar-benar mencoba untuk memperbaiki hubungan mereka ketika di motel. Mereka sudah terlalu egois karena dalam diri mereka sudah ada pemikiran bahwa mereka lebih baik dari yang satunya. Dean merasa Cindy tidak pernah mengekspresikan cintanya lagi sedangkan Cindy merasa Dean tidak pernah serius dalam mencari uang.
Mungkin juga keadaan ekonomi yang pas-pasan menyebabkan mereka tidak bisa take their time dan menghidupkan lagi romance dan gairah yang pernah ada dalam diri mereka. Tiba-tiba saja kedua hal itu menghilang dalam kesibukan rumah tangga.
Blue Valentine merupakan film yang lebih tragis daripada Titanic ataupun Romeo + Juliet karena kehancuran di film itu sangat nyata. Alias everyday reality. Bukankah tragis dua orang yang saling mencintai akhirnya berpisah karena ego masing-masing ataupun keputusan yang menggebu-gebu dan bukannya karena kecelakaan kapal atau bunuh diri?
5. Like Crazy (Drake Doremus, 2011)
The imperfection : long distance and too much time that lost
Anna (Felicity Jones) dan Jacob (Anton Yelchin) tidak menyadari bahwa waktu yang habis sudah terlalu banyak untuk membangkitkan spark di antara mereka. Sebenarnya ini lebih kearah faktor eksternal dan kesialan. Pada akhirnya hubungan mereka kalah oleh jarak yang terlalu jauh dan waktu yang terbuang banyak.
Film ini mengajarkan bahwa long distance relationship isn't that easy. Ketika kamu melakukan itu, literally kamu sudah harus siap untuk berkomitmen. Cinta yang menggebu-gebu bisa hilang karena jarak yang jauh dan waktu yang terbuang. Belum lagi jika seseorang hadir dan orang itu bisa dekat dengan diri kita. Entah kenapa saya ingin sekali memperlihatkan ini pada teman-teman saya yang labil dan terlalu sering galau untuk menyindir mereka, haha.
6. Before Midnight (Richard Linklater, 2013)
The imperfection : the usual marriage problem
Jesse (Ethan Hawke) dan Celine (Julie Delpy) sudah dewasa dan menjadi 'orang'. Karena mereka sudah dewasa, tumbuh pemikiran yang menyatakan mereka sudah bijaksana. Sayangnya, hal itu menciptakan banyak pertengkaran karena yang satu merasa lebih bijaksana daripada yang lain. Belum lagi sifat jelek mereka berdua sangat mempengaruhi pertengkaran-pertengkaran itu. Celine merasa dirinya berkorban banyak, padahal bisa saja ia mengambil waktu untuk istirahat. Sedangkan Jesse bersikap pasif dan menghindarkan dirinya dari masalah dengan memutar perkataan Celine. Tapi, Celine dan Jesse tidak seperti Dean dan Cindy yang baru mengenal beberapa bulan. Jesse dan Celine sudah mengenal bertahun-tahun dan otomatis lebih 'tahan banting'.
Pelajaran yang bisa saya ambil dari sini yaitu tidak semua pertengkaran harus diselesaikan secara cepat. Ada waktunya ketika sebuah pasangan harus menunda masalah dan menikmati sebuah momen. Andai saja Jesse dan Celine terburu-buru untuk menyelesaikan sebuah masalah, emosi negatif mereka malah semakin menumpuk dan pertengkaran akan semakin hebat. Mereka bertindak tepat dengan berhenti dan menutup pertengkaran itu dengan cara yang anti-klimaks dan bittersweet.
Selain itu, hanya karena sebuah pasangan bertengkar hebat atau capek dengan kejelekkan pasangan masing-masing, bukan berarti itu pertanda mereka harus bercerai. Mereka masih bisa memilih apakah mereka ikut arus alias bercerai, atau berusaha memperbaikinya.
Almost there
The Way We Were : why not? Belum nonton.
Beauty and the Beast : why not? Too polished.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind : why not? Belum nonton.
Saya menulis artikel ini bukan untuk menghakimi, "oh, pacaran itu sulit" atau, "oh, pacaran itu mudah". Saya menulis artikel ini sekedar menuangkan pemikiran saya. Anyway, mohon maaf kalau tata bahasanya salah atau kaku atau canggung, haha.

Cinema Paradiso #4 : Things I've Learned from Mr. Woody Allen
Yup, my first ever favorite director/writer. Pertama kali gue tahu Woody Allen tuh lewat Academy Award 2012, dia menang Original Screenplay untuk film Midnight in Paris. Gue jadi kepo. Terus waktu gue browsing film AFI 100 Passions, gue lihat sebuah film yang berjudul Annie Hall. Gak tahu kenapa gue pilih buat klik tuh film. Mungkin judul dan nama si karakter yang sederhana membuat gue kepo. Gue punya soft spot buat film dengan judul yang sederhana. Nah, mulailah gue browsing nih film, dan setelah berkali-kali gagal download, akhirnya gue berhasil! Berhasil, berhasil, berhasil, hore!
Dan...gue langsung terpukau sama tuh film! Mulai dari akting, skrip, dialog, musik, sampe sinematografi. Memang tidak semenawan (500) Days of Summer, tapi gue lebih tergila-gila sama nih film. Gue suka dialog-dialog pintar dan menyindir dari Woody Allen, dan Diane Keaton a.k.a Annie karakter yang lebih lovable dibandingkan Summer *mungkin karena gue cewek* Kesukaan gue pada Annie Hall mendorong gue untuk lebih banyak browsing film-filmnya Woody Allen dan Woody Allen sendiri. Memang Woody Allen bukan sutradara spektakuler seperti Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, atau Christopher Nolan, dan film-filmnya tidak selegendaris Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, atau Park Chan-wook. Film-filmnya juga tidak se-fresh Quentin Tarantino, dan tidak mempunyai film yang dalem seperti Kim Ki-duk atau Michael Haneke. Tapi dibalik sosoknya yang biasa-biasa saja, gue belajar beberapa hal.
1. You don't need to be cool or amazing to chase your dream or work on your passion.
Harus gue akuin, tema dari film-filmnya Woody Allen sering terasa basi. Jarang sekali dia membuat film diluar tema cinta ataupun kehidupan yang benar-benar universal. Bahkan beberapa orang mengatakan lelucon di film-filmnya yang sekarang hanyalah daur ulang. Tidak hanya itu, banyak sekali film-film Woody Allen yang tidak laku, bahkan merugi.
Meskipun begitu, Mr. Woody Allen tetap membuat film, mengapa? Karena itu adalah passion-nya. Gue bisa merasakan passion-nya terhadap film (sebenarnya lebih kearah New York sih) ketika dia memberikan pidato di Academy Awards sekitar tahun 2000an awal. Woody Allen yang ogah datang ke acara-acara penghargaan akhirnya datang juga ke Academy Awards hanya untuk memberikan encouragement agar sineas-sineas tetap membuat film di New York. Di video itu gue bisa merasakan gairah dan cinta tulus Woody Allen terhadap film dan New York.
Gak cuma itu, meskipun film-filmnya dikritik dan merugi, dia tetap membuat film. Minimal satu film per tahun. Bahkan temannnya, Martin Scorsese, tidak serajin itu. Itu saja sudah menunjukkan bahwa Woody Allen mencintai pekerjaannya bukan?
2. You don't need a genius script to make movies.
Sebenarnya ini mirip sama yang diatas sih, tapi...sudahlah, haha.
Ketika kita diberi tugas untuk membuat sesuatu, kita sering bingung kita mau bikin apa. Kita terlalu berpikir hal-hal yang rumit dan TERLALU berpikir keatas sehingga pekerjaan kita terbengkalai. Kadang-kadang, ketika kita ingin mengerjakan sesuatu atau membuat sesuatu, kita tidak butuh ide yang jenius atau rumit. Tapi cinta dan kesenangan untuk mengerjakan hal itu. Buat apa kita mengerjakan sesuatu atau mengambil pekerjaan tertentu tanpa cinta dan kesenangan? Itulah nilai yang hilang di jaman sekarang.
Gue rasa juga udah banyak sineas yang lebih mementingkan pemasukan ketika membuat suatu film. Sebenarnya sekali-kali sih tidak apa-apa, tapi kalau keseringan, hal itu cukup mengecewakan.
Woody Allen tidak perlu skrip rumit ketika dia akan membuat film. Cukup hal yang dia senangi dan pahami. Ketika dia mempunyai suatu ide, dia akan langsung mengerjakannya. Dia tidak berlama-lama menunggu ide yang lebih hebat atau hal-hal bullshit lainnya. Dia mempunyai sisi spontan yang cukup gue kagumi.
3. Geeks can be romantic.
A living proof that geek can be romantic : Woody Allen.
Gue sering ngomong ke teman-teman gue kalau gue orang yang realistis dalam love and other shits. Tapi karena gue orang yang realistis dan (sangat) skeptis bukan berarti gue tidak menginginkan hubungan romantis di masa depan. Sebenarnya gue punya sisi romantis *cuih* yang mungkin agak sulit dipahami oleh orang lain. But, whatever.
Tapi serius deh, siapa yang nyangka cowok geeky kayak Woody Allen bisa nulis dan ngomong kalimat diatas? That sentence is just too sweet and romantic! Makanya jangan remehin orang-orang geeky, freak, ataupun basket-case, gue yakin mereka punya sisi romantis yang gak terlihat. Mungkin mereka terlihat apatis atau realistis seperti gue, tapi mereka juga punya perasaan, dan sebagian besar dari mereka juga menginginkan hubungan romantis atau merasakan cinta #eaaaa *nyanyi I want to know what love is*
4. Screw up with Oscars.
Banyak orang yang jarang menyadari hal ini, tapi Woody Allen mempunyai sisi swag yang jarang dimiliki oleh sineas-sineas terbaik, termasuk orang dibalik The Godfather : he doesn't give a fuck about Oscars. Itu menunjukkan bahwa dia bisa menghargai karya-karyanya sendiri dan tidak butuh piala Oscar untuk menghiburnya atau dipamerkan.
Ketika ditanya mengapa ia tidak pernah datang ke ajang-ajang penghargaan, ia menjawab bahwa datang ke acara-acara penghargaan berarti menyutujui bahwa kamu pantas dihargai dan setuju juga ketika mereka berpikir bahwa kamu tidak pantas dihargai (kira-kira begitu). It's SWAG people!
Woody Allen bukan sineas terbaik di dunia, I get it. Dia bukan pasangan dan ayah yang baik, I get it. Tapi dia masih punya sisi-sisi yang pantas dikagumi dan film-film yang lucu, menyentuh, dan pintar.

Ini karena gue lagi males nulis aja, dan ada draft gue yang kehapus, wkwk.
1. What a Feeling - Irene Care (Flashdance, 1983)

Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
Because I've had
The time of my life
No I never felt
This way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
'Cause I've had
The time of my life
And I've searched through
Every open door
Till I've found the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had
The time of my life
And I've searched through
Every open door
Till I've found the truth
10. True - Spandau Ballets (Sixteen Candles, 1984)

First, when there's nothing but a slow glowing dream
That your fear seems to hide deep inside your mind
All alone I have cried, silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel, made of stone
That your fear seems to hide deep inside your mind
All alone I have cried, silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel, made of stone
Well, I hear the music close my eyes, feel the rhythm

What a feeling
2. Nothing's Gonna Stop us now - Starship (Mannequin, 1987)
Looking in your eyes I see a paradise
This world that I've found is too good to be true
Standing here beside you want so much to give you
This love in my heart that I'm feeling for you
This world that I've found is too good to be true
Standing here beside you want so much to give you
This love in my heart that I'm feeling for you
Let 'em say we're crazy, I don't care about that
Put your hand in my hand baby, don't ever look back
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart
Put your hand in my hand baby, don't ever look back
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart
And we can build this thing together
Standing strong forever, nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers, we'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now, oh no
Standing strong forever, nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers, we'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now, oh no
I'm so glad I found you, I'm not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes to stay here with you
Take it to the good times, see it through the bad times
Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do
Whatever it takes to stay here with you
Take it to the good times, see it through the bad times
Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do
Let 'em say we're crazy, what do they know?
Put your arms around me baby, don't ever let go
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart
Put your arms around me baby, don't ever let go
Let the world around us just fall apart

4. Don't you (Forget About me) - Simple Minds (The Breakfast Club, 1985)
Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it baby
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out
And love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby
Think of the tender things that we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby
Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me
Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down
Will you recognize me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooh, oh
Ooh, oh
Don't you try to pretend
It's my feeling, we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security
It's my feeling, we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security
Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby

As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away
Or will you walk away?
Will you walk on by?
Come on, call my name
Will you call my name?

5. Unchained Melody - The Righteous Brothers (Ghost, 1987)
Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love

God speed your love to me!
I need your love
God speed your love to me!
Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh
"Wait for me, wait for me"
I'll be coming home, wait for me!
"Wait for me, wait for me"
I'll be coming home, wait for me!
Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered, hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
I've hungered, hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me!
I need your love
God speed your love to me!
6. Love Theme from St. Elmo's Fire - David Foster (St. Elmo's Fire, 1985)
7. Eye of the Tiger - Survivor (Rocky III, 1982)
Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds, still we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds, still we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
8. Glory of Love - Peter Cetera (The Karate Kid, Part II, 1986)
Tonight it's very clear, as we're both lying here
There's so many things, I want to say
I will always love you, I would never leave you alone
There's so many things, I want to say
I will always love you, I would never leave you alone
Sometimes I just forget, say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you crying
I don't wanna lose you, I could never make it alone
It breaks my heart to see you crying
I don't wanna lose you, I could never make it alone
I am a man, who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We'll live forever, knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We'll live forever, knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love
You keep me standing tall, you help me through it all
I'm always strong when you're beside me
I have always needed you, I could never make it alone
I'm always strong when you're beside me
I have always needed you, I could never make it alone
I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you've been dreaming of
We'll live forever, knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love
I'll be the hero you've been dreaming of
We'll live forever, knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love
Just like a knight in shining armor, from a long time ago
Just in time I will save the day, take you to my castle far away
Just in time I will save the day, take you to my castle far away
I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that you're dreaming of
We're gonna live forever, knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love
I'll be the hero that you're dreaming of
We're gonna live forever, knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love
We'll live forever, knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love
Did it all for the glory of love
We did it all for love, we did it all for love
We did it all for love, we did it all for love
We did it all for love, we did it all for love
9. (I've had) The Time of my Life - Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes (Dirty Dancing, 1987)
Now I've had
The time of my life
No I never felt
Like this before
Yes I swear
It's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had

To stand by me
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
We saw the writing
On the wall
As we felt this magical
Fantasy
On the wall
As we felt this magical
Fantasy
Now with passion
In our eyes
There's no way
We could disguise it
Secretly
In our eyes
There's no way
We could disguise it
Secretly
So we take
Each other's hand
'Cause we seem
To understand the urgency
Each other's hand
'Cause we seem
To understand the urgency
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love
This could be love

I want you more than
You'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid
To lose control

When you say
Stay with me tonight
With my body and soul
I want you more than
You'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid
To lose control

When you say
Stay with me tonight

10. True - Spandau Ballets (Sixteen Candles, 1984)
So true funny how it seems
Always in time, but never in line for dreams
Head over heels when toe to toe
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound
Always in time, but never in line for dreams
Head over heels when toe to toe
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound
I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
Oh, I want the truth to be said
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
Oh, I want the truth to be said
I know this much is true
I know this much is true
I know this much is true
With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue
Dissolve the nerves that have just begun
Listening to Marvin all night long
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound
Dissolve the nerves that have just begun
Listening to Marvin all night long
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound
Always slipping from my hands
Sand's a time of it's own
Take your seaside arms and write the next line
Oh, I want the truth to be known
Sand's a time of it's own
Take your seaside arms and write the next line
Oh, I want the truth to be known
I know this much is true
I know this much is true
I know this much is true
I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
Oh, I want the truth to be said
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
Oh, I want the truth to be said
I know this much is true
I know this much is true
I know this much is true
This much is true
This much is true
This much is true
This much is true
This much is true
This much is true
This much is true
I know, I know, I know this much is true
This much is true
This much is true
This much is true
This much is true
This much is true
This much is true
I know, I know, I know this much is true
This much is true
This much is true
This much is true
This much is true
This much is true
This much is true
I know this much is true
11. Can't Help Falling in Love - Lick the Tins (Some Kind of Wonderful, 1987)
Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help
Falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin?
If I can't help
Falling in love with you
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things were meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life too
'Cause I can't help
Falling in love with you
Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help
Falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin?
If I can't help
Falling in love with you
If I can't help
Falling in love with you
Only fools rush in
But I can't help
Falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin?
If I can't help
Falling in love with you
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things were meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life too
'Cause I can't help
Falling in love with you
Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help
Falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin?
If I can't help
Falling in love with you
If I can't help
Falling in love with you

12. Up Where We Belong - Jennifer Warnes & Joe Cocker (An Officer and a Gentleman, 1982)
Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world few hearts survive?
In a world few hearts survive?
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real, I keep it alive
The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below
Up where the clear winds blow
Far from the world below
Up where the clear winds blow
Some hang on to, 'used to be'
Live their lives looking behind
Live their lives looking behind
All we have is here and now
All our life out there to find
The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Where the clear wind blows
Far from the world we know
Where the clear wind blows
Time goes by, no time to cry
Life's you and I, a life today
Life's you and I, a life today
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Where the clear winds blow
Far from the world we know
Where the clear winds blow
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lifts us up where we belong

13. Blue Velvet - Bobby Vinton (Blue Velvet, 1986)
She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars
She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs
Love was ours
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs
Love was ours
Ours a love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left, gone was the glow of
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left, gone was the glow of
Blue velvet
But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm, a memory
Through the years
But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm, a memory
Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet
Through my tears
Through my tears
She wore blue velvet
But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm, a memory
Through the years
But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm, a memory
Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet
Through my tears
Through my tears
