Taking Chance

Taking Chance

           

            Who says that movie should have conflict in it? Taking chance will show you how a simple and flat movie could bring you into tears. This movie tells a story of a marine named Lt. Colonel Michael Strobl who escorted the body of marine name PFC Chance Phelps that died in the Iraq war. This movie starred by Kevin Beacon, the one who has played in many outstanding movies, such as a few good man, x-man, footloose, and many more. This movie was premiered on HBO on February 21st, 2009 after it was selected to be shown at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.

It tells a story of Colonel Strobl, a behind the desk-type of marine that never participated in any wars. One day, he took an offer to escort the dead body of PFC Chance Phelps to his hometown. He said yes to that offer because PFC Phelps came from the same hometown as he did while in fact he did it because he felt guilty to see many marines who died in wars while he was living in comfortable life with his family. After he discussed this offer with his wife, he then went to Dover Port Mortuary to get some instructions before doing his duty. One of the most important instructions was that he had to bring PFC Phelps’ personal stuffs with him no matter what. Off he went to the airport to escort Phelps’ body. Along with the road, Americans gave many salutes to the fallen marine, PFC Chance Phelps, in many ways. For example, a flight attendant gave Colonel Strobl a crucifix, later on he realized that it was not meant for him, it was given by her to honor Phelps. These small yet touching scenes are the reasons why viewers get so emotionally attached with this movie.

Through this movie, we are shown how Americans do really salute their heroes no matter who they were. It is really touching to see another side of Americans that we have never seen before. Most of the time we are only shown how individualistic Americans are, how apathetic they are, and how careless they are to their surrounding, but this movie does the opposite of it. We can see soft-hearted Americans who united together as a nation to grieve the fallen body of PFC Phelps, even they did not know him personally, but they knew that this guy had made USA proud.

Hello

Hi fellas, been a long time since the last time I posted something here. Lately I'm being busy with my college stuffs. Mid-term is the most challenging one. However, I'll try to keep making update here. Now I'll post three writings of mine. Well they are not really fresh from the oven because they were my college assignments actually hehehehe. Hope you guys like it :D

ps: Happy Halloween! Boo!!!!

fine/bad, who cares?

Once, being a fine human being is what most people pursue for the rest of his life, but it doesn't work anymore now. You simply cannot define the word "fine" anymore since the understanding of the word "fine" itself has been blurred along with the time. Judging those who smoke and drink beer as the bad ones, and longing for the good acted as the ones who solemnly follow what society ask them for is not accepted any longer. The question now is what makes those "bad" people consciously choose to be counted as the bad ones even they've fully realized the risks for being brutally judged by society?  The other question is what makes us-society- think it's okay to accept them (the bad ones) and battle with ourselves to say that on on the other side you think their bravery to break the rules is cool enough tho?

What if I say that the norm which is used now is not about whether you are good or bad, but it's more about whether you can play along with the hideous confusing society tricks or not. If you have the ace card, then you're free to go and have fun with your rules, but if you are trapped in your little ego cage, then congratulation dude you're not going anywhere. You say you're with the anti-naive group, hahaha but sorry buddy I have to say that you're the most naive person I've ever met. 

First thing is you have to seek the ace card for your own safe first then you can play the society with your thousand rules.

Have fun playing or being played. That's what most people called as the hardest game to be played ever, yeah life........ :)

just don't

Hello :) so today official has been the shittiest day ever. OhmyGod! :( Not trying to curse on specific day or whatsoever, I was just being in the bad mood today.

It all started when I went to my high school to have a talk w/ one of teacher there about my college event, and there I just realized how you directly have different perspective about them when you are no longer students there (you might not know my point but I don't have any intention to deliberate it either) the point is, I almost ended up crying when I returned from there.

When I came home, I swore I've never been that mad to my mom just because she forgot to give me the key. I don't know what was into me until I didn't say salam at the end of our conversation on phone with her. So sorry mom

Then my day continued as I did my duty to promote my campus event that I've mentioned before. You have no idea how terrified I was to ride motorcycle for the first time in that kind of location - totally horrifying! hate the fact too that I got "tanning" unintentionally.

My day got worse when I decided to sleep after Maghrib pray, when I awoke, there are many messages left on my phone. HAAAA could my day be worse than that? OF COURSE IT COULD!

My PA sent message through my siak and he said I have to give strong and reasonable reasons why I take credits more than the limit. Besides that, he also questioned the external subjects that I'm going to take this semester. TOTALLY INTENSE.

Then for one reason, I was trying to search one location in google map and voila! is it the map that confusing or is it just me being confused to read the map? huft the perfect title is me vs. map!

As I've been screwed up now, I opened twitter and saw such a-whatsoever-conversations. huft totally up to you, bro!

Sorry for all those complaints, despite those things, I admit I'm wrong to put the blame on others while in fact the problem is totally me, but please don't lecture me now. I'm just not in the mood :/
