Juga katanya di setiap filmnya Abrams ada R2D2 nongol gitu.. Though I've never noticed).<br /><br />Anyway, yes STID is very entertaining, I must say.

Sori baru bisa buka sekarang, I've been busy for these past few days.<br /><br />1. Well, we will never know Abrams' real intention on why he picked Cumberbatch for this part. Maybe because Abrams really thinks he's a talented actor, cause I do too (and yes, I've seen Sherlock and agree that it's one of the best tv shows I've ever watched). Maybe because he's also one of the top rising stars of this era, so it will also help the popularity of the film (to non Trek fans, look to one of the comments above for example). Or maybe because they just wanted to hide the identity of his character. Khan was supposed to be a 'surprise' character, jadi supaya bisa mislead orang-orang gitu mungkin. Whitewash? I don't know. The actors for Enterprise crews are already multicultural just like the series, Abrams' tv series LOST was also filled with people with different races. So if it turns out to be true, I don't think Abrams was behind it (casting director maybe? producer?).<br /><br />2. Damon Lindelof (one of the writers) also thinks that particular scene was gratuitous (gak tau jg apakah dia yang nulis bagian itu atau enggak). And I couldn't agree more. It's unnecessary dan sepertinya berkebalikan dengan apa yang ingin direpresentasikan oleh karakter Carol sendiri. But then again, this is a Hollywood blockbuster film, lol. Tapi kalo masalah spark dgn Kirk dan karakterisasi dari Carol Marcus, sepertinya hal-hal tersebut akan lebih di-eksplor di film-film selanjutnya (kalo ada).<br /><br />3. Yes, the 09 one was more fresh compare to this. Entah, mungkin Abrams ingin membuat homage terhadap Wrath of Khan, as a goodbye to this series (rasanya pernah baca bahwa dari awal Abrams gak mau bikin film Trek lagi, well d'oh, udah pindah ke Star Wars doi haha). And I personally think he did a great job. A homage with his own modern lens-flare-galore twist haha <br /><br />4. Yep, salam kenal juga :)Fariz Razihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636903035215800179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840851589911790136.post-77142302205312345772013-06-30T18:48:43.410+07:002013-06-30T18:48:43.410+07:00Okay, this is going to be very long and full of sp...Okay, this is going to be very long and full of spoilers, so stop reading if you haven't seen the film.<br /><br />1. Dari apa yang saya bisa simpulkan, kamu sudah nonton the original Star Trek- or at least The Wrath of Khan, ya? Saya mau dengar pendapat kamu soal komentar orang-orang pada JJ bahwa dia mencoba "whitewashing" this film, in a sense that Khan is supposed to be dark-skinned (berkulit gelap bukan selalu berarti negro/hitam, disini yang saya maksud is not-white, if you know what I mean), but Benedict isn't. Khan Singh is a very Indian name, although the original Khan was a Mexican. But it still kind followed the not-white rule. Don't get me wrong, I love Benedict Cumberbatch. Saya udah mulai suka dia sejak saya nonton BBC Sherlock TV Series (which is brilliant, go see it now if you haven't. If you don't like it you can punch me in the stomach.), jadi saya tahu bahwa Benedict is more than capable for this role, and very well-deserved. Tapi apa iya gak ada aktor yang berkulit gelap yang sanggup memerankan Khan? Kalau argumennya adalah 'Tapi kalau misalnya Khan itu orang putih aslinya, lalu diperankan oleh orang berkulit gelap, pasti gak ada yang ribut', dalam kasus ini, mayoritasnya adalah kulit putih, jadi argumen itu gak nyambung. Beda ceritanya. Menurut kamu gimana?<br /><br />2. Carol Marcus. The Carol Marcus striping scene.. menurut saya itu adegan yang gak penting dan agak memalukan bagi Star Trek. Selama saya nonton Star Trek yang jaman dulu, gak pernah sekalipun mereka kayak gini- menghibur penonton dengan adegan murah. Yang bikin saya suka Star Trek (dari nonton yang the original series) adalah it is entertaining without ever being mean or cheesy, and it still maintains the depth of the philosophy behind it. JJ sendiri bilang di salah satu interview bahwa adegan ini ada untuk dua hal, pertama, untuk menyeimbangi adegan topless Kirk di ranjang bersama dua cewek di permulaan film (which is just plain silly, gak penting), kedua, untuk menciptakan sparks antara Kirk dan Dr Marcus. But this is Kirk and Dr Marcus we're talking about, THE couple, and say you're a writer and you get to write the bit to create this "spark". You get to write how these two people become attracted to each other, this Kirk who is the Captain of USS freaking ENTERPRISE who's seen aliens and deaths and the worst things in the universe, been to other planets or even galaxies, the only person to understand Spock, becomes attracted to Dr Marcus- this doctor who is worth all this trouble, of all the people in the universe, he chose to like her. If this scene is what you have written... then you're not a good enough writer. It's lazy writing. Jujur, saya aja gak sadar bahwa Alice Eve itu Dr Marcus sampe saya pulang ke rumah dan googling. Aura the importance of Dr Marcus nya kurang. Dr Marcus would've gone to a changing room because she's smart, and Kirk would NOT have peeked because he respects her. This scene basically is bollocks.<br /><br />3. Into Darkness terlalu mirip sama The Wrath of Khan. Reviews and ratings for the first film (the 2009 one) was slightly better because it was different to the original. It was fresh. Apalagi scene yang paling penting di The Wrath of Khan, sewaktu Spock meninggal karena radiasi, agak di copy disini. Jelas penonton yang tau The Wrath of Khan bakal bisa nebak Kirk pasti hidup lagi. Lazy writing. Again.<br /><br />4. Temennya Prima ya?
