everything is illuminated
darn! I typed this blog already but somehow when I insert for image, it goes blank..ss…
anyway, I saw this warm, touchful movie that carries deep thought about how far your memories about life will affect you.." everything is illuminated" with star Elijah Wood. It’s independent movie, you know that kinda type film that you not see usually in big famous screen produced by Hollywood,but I can tell you, if you love something out of ordinary to watch, this one is perfect companion to grab.
I think it based on true story, about a young american jewish man,who got kinda unusual hobby( or profession?) collecting his family’ memories-photos, card-false teeth-handfuls of dirt- all sealed and keep mounted on wall. He seeks a more elusive memory as he’ll journey to the Ukraine to find the woman who saved his grandfather from Nazis in 1942.
It presented with interesting and surprisingly beautiful scenes, eastern european culture music which keep it more alive and playful( I said to myself, I’m sounding like those critical film review, haha..)
khat2 and Ndok…this one really highly recommended to see…first buat khat, tokoh utamanya ngingetin aku like you who appreciate and like collect items that hold some beautiful( and rare?) moments- kayak my love letter from someone initial " Y" from my junior high school time- thanks sis for keeping that for me, LOL..maybe I can tell my story for my grandchildren later…hahaha..
and Ndok, insting fotographer lo bakalan mencuat deh liat beautiful views like in this movies..gue aja tambah kepengen belajar foto ni..
