Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn Pt. 1

Wedding dress Bella sangat cantik...

Aku dah tonton. 2 kali. Dan ia memang best! Ini Twilight. Bukan Underworld. Bukan The Vampire Diaries. Ini bukan filem tentang dunia Vampire. Ini filem tentang cinta. Tentang perasaan cinta seorang gadis pada seorang lelaki. Bezanya lelaki itu bukan manusia biasa. Dia adalah vampire. Jadi, bila anda hendak menonton filem ini, tinggalkan semua fikiran negatif itu di luar. Tonton dengan fikiran terbuka. Kosongkan minda dan hayati kisah ini seperti mana anda hayati cerita cinta yang lain.

Antara semua saga Twilight, aku rasa ini adalah adaptasi dari novel yang terbaik sekali. Ia tak lari banyak dari naskah novel Breaking Dawn. Babak majlis perkahwinan, bulan madu, Bella mengandung dan babak vampire-werewolf yang ditunjukkan dalam filem ini menepati apa yang aku bayangkan ketika membaca novelnya. Aku rasa babak majlis perkahwinan Bella dan Edward adalah babak yang paling cantik sekali dalam filem ini. (Stephenie Meyer ada buat cameo dalam babak ni!) Cuma, mungkin disebabkan rate filem ini 13 PG, maka babak2 gory ketika Bella bersalin tak ditunjukkan. Aku sebenarnya tertunggu-tunggu babak itu kerana nak melihat bagaimana pengarah filem ini membikin adegan Renesmee mencakar keluar dari perut ibunya. Harap-harap adegan itu akan ada dalam versi DVD nanti.

Keseluruhan cerita ni memang best. Soundtracknya pun menarik. Paling tak boleh lupa masa wedding mereka, lagu Flightless Bird, American Mouth jadi musik latarnya. Teringat balik saat2 Bella dan Edward menari pertama kali di High School Dance mereka dalam Twilight dulu. Bella's Lullaby pun beberapa kali kedengaran sepanjang filem ni. Bagi yang belum menonton, jangan keluar panggung selagi lagu Bruno Mars tak keluar ya. Ada sedikit sedutan tentang Volturi di bahagian kredit tu nanti.

Sekarang ni, dok makan hati tunggu Part 2! Ini je yangaku tak suka pasal movie ni. :(

p/s: Ai dalam team Edward. Sebab tu ai tak mention pasal Jacob Black. *peace* heheheh

Twilight Saga - New Moon

~Watched it. Enjoyed it. Loved it.~

Next installment; Eclipse...

The Time Traveller's Wife

Semalam filem lakonan Eric Bana dan Rachel McAdams ini menjadi pilihan kawan baik aku Jo, untuk dijadikan filem melepas tekanan final examnya. The Time Traveller's Wife merupakan filem yang dibikin berdasarkan sebuah novel yag mempunyai judul yang sama.  Penilaian aku? Dari lima bintang, aku hanya boleh berikan 2.5*** sahaja. Maaf, aku tak dapat nak connect dengan filem ini. Mungkin harapan aku terlalu tinggi memandangkan aku pernah membaca novel karya Audrey Niffenegger ini sedikit masa dulu. Membaca novelnya lebih meninggalkan kesan berbanding menonton filem ini semalam. Hahaha...air mata aku mengalir dalam bab-bab terkahir di dalam novel ini dan semalam, ketika babak yang sama, aku tak dapat merasakan kesedihan yang dirasai Claire bila mendapat tahu yang suaminya akan mati. Teman aku Jo, dah tersedu sedan di sebelah aku.

Secara peribadi aku kurang gemar menonton filem yang diadaptasikan dari bestselling novel ini. Tengok saja apa yang terjadi pada Twilight, The Notebook, P.S I Love You, Message in A Bottle, Angels and Demons, etc (sekadar menyebut beberapa tajuk). Filem-filem ini tidak memberikan aku kepuasan seperti mana yang aku rasakan jika membaca novel. Mungkin kerana aku ini book person jadi aku lebih gemarkan buku dari filem. Bagi aku melalui novel aku lebih menghayati apa yang dilalui oleh watak-watak di dalamnya. Aku bebas membayangkan di dalam fikiran apa yang sedang dibaca. Jadi, bila novel itu dijadikan filem dan apa yang aku tonton berbeza dengan apa yang diimaginasikan, aku jadi kecewa.

Aku tahu, mana mungkin pembikin filem dapat mengikut 100% apa yang tertulis di dalam novel kerana tidak semua yang tertulis mampu divisualkan contohnya jika ia berkaitan dengan emosi dan perasaan. Di sini, yang memainkan peranan adalah pelakon yang mendukung watak tersebut. Jika tersilap pilih pelakon, memang hancurlah karya itu. Aku sendiri tidak tahu bagaimana sebenarnya pembikin filem memilih apa yang patut dan apa yang tidak patut dimasukkan di dalam filem (kita masih bercakap mengenai filem yang diadaptasi dari novel). Mungkin soalan ini boleh ditanya kepada Tuan Shahrul Ezad ketika Bengkel Penulisan Skrip Drama tahun depan. Hmmm...have to take note on this.

Hujung bulan ini ada satu lagi filem yang diangkat daripada novel akan ditayangkan. Filem yang ditunggu-tunggu bagi peminat Twilight Saga. New Moon bakal ditayangkan di pawagam pada 27.11.2009. Memandangkan umat Islam akan menyambut Hari Raya Qurban ketika itu, maknanya hanya pada awal bulan 12 sahajalah aku dapat memenuhi janji dengan kawan baik aku tu. Apa-apa pun, kali ini aku tak nak letakkan harapan yang tinggi. Aku akan pergi menonton tanpa memikirkan yang aku sudah membaca novelnya. Benda yang susah nak dilakukan tapi terpaksa juga dibuat agar tak merasa kecewa...

Twilight the Book vs. Twilight the Movie

Hehehe...I can't seem to help myself. I have to write this down. Twilight, the first book from the Twilight Saga written by the best selling author Stephenie Meyer is my current obsession right now. Well, I've known about this book last year but I'm not really into teen's flick back then so I just ignore it. Although my sister keeps going blabbering about the hero – the sweet vampire- I was not tempted to read it. I mean, come on; ‘sweet vampire’? I grew up reading Anne Rice’s vampire chronicles and they are supposed to be hot, bad and errr hot! They suck human blood and they have no compassion whatsoever (except for Louis). Even Sherrilyn Kenyon’s vampire are bad! Sweet vampire? Please!!! It wasn’t until last September, she persuades me (again!) to give it a try and man, I was totally hooked up with the book! I should apologies to my sister for laughing at her when she told me about Twilight (the whole ‘sweet vampire’ thing) It was a touching love story (yes people, this is a Love Story not Vampire Story, so if you’re looking for hot, bad and immortal vampire, this is not the book for you) and unlike most of the sloppy teen’s novel, this one really makes you wish that you were teenager once more. At least I did *squeal with delight* (me? squealing, seriously!) The story is mainly about the forbidden love between Bella Swan, the human with Edward Cullen, the romantic, sweet, adorable and hot (in his unique way) vampire. They both know they shouldn’t be with each other but who are they to ignore the fate? When it’s meant to be, then it’s meant to be. Want to know more? Read this: Bella Swan has always been a little bit different. Never one to run with the crowd, Bella never cared about fitting in with the trendy, plastic girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high school. When her mother remarried and Bella chooses to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she didn't expect much of anything to change. But things do change when she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen. For Edward is nothing like any boy she's ever met. He's nothing like anyone she's ever met, period. He's intelligent and witty, and he seems to see straight into her soul. In no time at all, they are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance - unorthodox because Edward really isn't like the other boys. He can run faster than a mountain lion. He can stop a moving car with his bare hands. Oh, and he hasn't aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he's immortal. That's right - vampire. But he doesn't have fangs - that's just in the movies. And he doesn't drink human blood, though Edward and his family are unique among vampires in that lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. Somehow or other, they will have to manage their unmanageable love. But when unexpected visitors come to town and realize that there is a human among them Edward must fight to save Bella? A modern, visual, and visceral Romeo and Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love affair - between vampire and mortal. T here’s three more books from the saga; New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. I’ve already read New Moon and Eclipse and Breaking Dawn is on my December TBR list. Although the books are written for young adults (the teenagers) but adults should give it a try too. It is a good book to read. I want to (very bad) to rave about Edward Cullen (about why I love him so much) but unfortunately, my time is limited. I still got tons of work to do and day dreaming about Edward Cullen is not a good idea right now. But I must say this ‘Edward Cullen is the man every girl wish for’ – well, except for the part he drinks blood to live, that just make me sick! Go and pick up the book. Trust me, you won’t regret it.




Now, the movie. The world premier for the movie was 21.11.2008 and we (Malaysian folk) will only get to watch it this coming Thursday, 27.11.2008. I can't say much about it because I havne;t got the chnace to watch it yet. I've already make plans with B and Dilla to watch it Friday night. Based on the review I've read on the net, the story was "okay, awesome, superb, blah and the best". I manage to watch the trailer on youtube and it left me wanting more! But I won't put my expection high because based on exprience, when you make a movie out of a book, it will dissapoint you. Eg. Interview With A Vampire (Anne Rice) - major dissapointment for me. The movie ain't eerie as the book. The only reason I watch it till the end is because of Brad Pitt:P
Anyway, I'll write something about the movie after I watch it. And Brandon, please get us very good sit, okay?! Need to log off now. My works are 'calling' me back.... sheesh!!
