Nowadays media could play an important role to the society, it can change people’s behavior or that we call media disruption. Todays, I would like to talk about the case of women with the violence. Violence against women (VAW), also known as gender-based violence. violent acts that are primarily or exclusively committed against women. This type of violence is gender-based, meaning that the acts of violence are committed against women expressly because they are women. "violence against women is a manifestation of historically unequal power relations between men and women" and that "violence against women is one of the crucial social mechanisms by which women are forced into a subordinate position compared with men." the UN stated. Some women got hit by the guy and they just cannot protect themselves because of the different strength of body physical. And when the time come that women cannot stand for this severe behavior anymore, she will go to the police and sue the guy. Mostly, the case like this happen with the couple relationship and could be in family process too. Anyway, some of women in this era get more skill to defense themselves from bad situation, so they can be free or live happier but some who still not solving their problem or find the way out, these women will live unhappily to the rest of their live. Media disruption is the media which could change people behavior, in this way if producing the media with the right content that most people interested in, it will catch more attention from people more. It depends on the content and the way that producer or people who make it design it to be. But if it is good or people have fun to watch it, the message that you want to convey to an audience will be complete.

In the same way, movie process or other ways is one of the media disruption it could be the entertain media that could be able to solve the problem of violence against women. Movie could make people change their perspective into the better way. In this case, it is about women who has Arabian husband but after move into his house everything has change into the opposite side. This podcast is an interview about women who got hit by her wealthy husband and she expressed what she felt when live with her husband which is pity and make an audience think that government should help solve this problem and enact the strict rules to handle this problem quickly and get rid of the bad case like this from the society. This women is feeling depress to say like this she love her man but if he cannot stop the severely behavior like this she will get gone from his life even if it hurt. “he did not let me out of the room and chain me to the bed, he never let me leave the house even if I have the money to spend and lots of luxury things inside the house, it was the money that I can’t spend.”

It is the first movie of the very talented director, Wong Kar Wai. This movie was created in 1988. It is the Hong Kong action drama film. The main plot is about mafia tradition in that time when the main character is one of the powerful mafia in that town but he will not hurt anyone if they don’t make him mad. One day, his cousin, Ngor, move to stay with him for a month, they started to feel of something special. Anyway, because of his brother who works as a mob still causing problem to him all the time. This is why he dead at the end.

In the past few years, I have heard about Wong Kar Wai from people around me a lot, that the light in his movie is very unique and cool but I do not have time to when I know that this movie yet. So, when I know that ‘As Tears Go By’ is the first movie of him, it made me interesting to watch it more. Actually, I think he tried to convey the loneliness of human in the old era so the light will help to represent the loneliness of the couple.

This movie does not let me disappointment, I saw his unique a lot. He likes to put the contrast color together, for example, the light blue and the light red together. I don’t know the exactly reason why he put these color to use in the scene but in every movie that he produce always have this kind of color. Right now, I understand that he did this because he likes it that’s all. But there might have others reason but I do not know it yet.

Anyway, other than the light, he made a very good movie though. Wong Kar Wai has Hong Kong nationality, so his movie contained lots of Hong Kong style. For example, mafia culture, if the mafia accept someone to be in there team already, he has to give responsibility to that person also. The main character accepted Ngor to be his team so when Ngor fight with other team, he has to revenge for his young brother and show that nobody can give the trouble to his gangs.

To be honest, I like the first two parts of the movie but the rest was not really my type. The first two parts were driven perfectly, the story location and characters. But I am not really enjoyed the rest of the movie. The movie was driven pretty bored as it had the similarly situation in the really first part already so I got bored and give up to watch the rest so I just forward the movie. The end is not what I expect to so I am not very like it.

The Age of Adaline is American romance fantasy film about a woman who stops aging after an accident at the age of 29. It was directed by Lee Toland Krieger and written by J. Mills Goodloe and Salvador Paskowitz.

I am not a big fan of the film that has a plot like this as I thing this kind of movie will run slowly which can make me sleepy but I accidentally watch it on HBO last weekend and it kept me watch it till the end. I cannot deny that beside from the beauty of main character something else keep me interesting in it. The movie does not take that long and a lot of interesting scenes show up. For example, the scene that Adaline was in the serious accident and barely die, the bolt made Adaline alive again. I mean it is new and make sense till the rest of the movie.

Anyway, I think it is an interesting plot which is taking place in the sensitive feeling so well. Thinking that I was Adaline who keep living while knows that everyone around me is getting old and older everyday makes me grievous that I have to stand forever watch people who I loved dead, it is the most sadness of living. The main character having that feeling. While she knows that she had to live longer than anyone, there are some group of people know about her magical ability and want to make money by chasing her to the doctor. So, this is why Adaline had to keep running away and cannot stay with her beloved people. The most profoundly scene for me is when she stopped to run away from the people she loved, stop hiding and finally brave enough to tell them the truth. I feel like it has been enough for her to stop throwing thing that she loved away, it is time to reap the happiness that she does not has for long time back and live with it happily.

Also, one thing that I was in love in this movie was the location. It was so beautiful both location and camera shots. I knew that most of them were taking in England, in the scene of when Adaline was young and met her first love, there was a big field which has the road in the middle up to the hill. The camera shot was incredible, I feel that it is perfect to keep camera shot like that scene by scene.

It is a Greek film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. it is an independence old film in 2009. Dogtooth won the Prix Un Certain Regard at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 83rd Academy Awards. It was one of the best movie which the commentator said it valuable. The main plot is about a husband and wife who keep their children ignorant of the world outside their property well into adulthood. It is the one of the most intense movie that I ever watch in my entire life. It is more than depress feeling, I cannot deny that this movie got me a nightmare after the first time that I watched it. The plot is base on the story of one couple who locked out their children from the outside world and treat them only the way that they want their children to know. The parents kept their children under the thoughts of “There is only a dangerous thing out there, home is the safest place for staying.” This movie contained many severe action that people who under 20 should not watch. There are several scenes that is inappropriate for children, for example, the sex scene, the scene when the son killed the cat by using the scissor from the garden to get the inside organ out from its body, the scene of father punished his children by using aggressive action like hurting them by hitting, etc. Anyway, this movie convey it into the way that someone barely understand what is this movie about as some scene in movie the audience has to take sometimes to understand the case. But what I really like is, the direct use the dogtooth to represent the meaning of freedom, when the dogtooth came out, it means of leaving home to be free and ready to have their own life. From my point of view, I see that they compared the dogtooth thing as a meaning of if you do not get hurt first, you will feel of the happiness less than you got hurt before. What I got from Dogtooth is more than just an intense cold blood feelings. I got to know what is the truly meaning of brainwashing. In the movie the parents done the brainwashing process from growing their children by teaching the wrong thing to them, teach them the wrong way of living, so then their children became to be only what they want to be and know only what they want their children to know. In fact, it did happen in some part of the world, it is very scared me out. However, I was in love with the mood and tone of the Dogtooth. The colour is in the cold was the best, it just perfect to watch which makes me feel of nervous moment from the movie. This movie might not have many props but just a few is enough for this movie. There are a few influence props, for instance, the scene that the daughter used the dumbbell to hit her dogtooth out in order to be free from the psycho community like this. So, even if it is an intense movie which could made you feel pretty sag, but what you got will be more than this. This movie conveyed a lots of implication thing that people might not understand it in the same way. It is worth to spend your time of watching.

MV Robbers, The 1975 (2016) This song is called Robbers of 1975 band. The music video was directed by Tim Mattia who directed a lot of popular songs like CONOR MAYNARD FT. WILEY // ANIMAL, INDIANA // HEART ON FIRE, DEAP VALLY // LIES, etc. He is my favorite photographer. He has his own unique style of camera shot and idea of buiding the mood of each video which is so charismatic. Anyway, this music video is based the theory of ‘Love’ but in the up side down way. In this way, Love does not have to be right all the time. If you are already live with the right one, even if it goes so wrong, you are willing to go with him. Beside from the lyrics, I really like this music video as it is not only shows more than a picture that ride along to the lyrics, it shows the meaning of love so well. And the editor done it so well too. It illustrated the love in the way that I never think about before.

At the beginning, this MV represent the love of the couple so well that they were kissing all the time. It makes me really feel that they are really in love with each other enough to do the wrong things like robbing the shop together. The picture compare the way of painful of staying in this kind of love via the pictures. In the very last part of the guy who got shot from the gun that he brought in, it is fair enough to explained that the couple are agreed to use the gun which means that they are ready to get hurt from this love of doing wrong thing together.

The director and editor were done his job so well of convey the meaning vie the chronology of the scene in the different way. They compared the meaning of two event together. They built the pavement of some part of the climax at the beginning and started to tell the story after. But they switch the cut all along till the end which is not confused me at all but it even makes me feel more exciting of what is going to happen next. Everything that this couple do has a meaning. I could feel how much they care each other and never want each other to get hurt. Besides from the pictures, I am in love with the style of it. The character of the couple was so unique, the tattoos, costume and the art in the scene was so incredible cool! And the scene is so complete with the perfect art, props and costumes. The house was so cluttered with alcohol drink, cigarette and things which is fit with them.

It is a Japanese Drama Film, directed by Hirokazu Koreeda based on the 1988 event known as the “Affair of the four abandoned children of Sugamo” The plot is based on the timeline of four children who have different father but all got abandoned from their mother. So, these four children have to stay alone by themselves with no one take care of.

About Nobody Knows, I think it is the touchable movie of children ever. The movie shows the perspective of the children side and I clearly see what is the different between children who had a perfect family and those who have incomplete family. If children do not have their mother or someone else to take care, the children will grow bad like a wither flower. Anyway, I think it is fine to let children watch this movie. Even though, this film contained a bad behavior of mother but in contrast it could teach the children that this behavior of parents is not good and they should not follow when they grow up. Moreover, if the children see these homeless children on the street, they will feel guilty for them and try something to help these children either donate clothes or teach them how to read. It has no effect like you think, when the children watch this movie they will feel sad for them more that try to do bad thing like homeless children do. On the other hand, the children might behave themselves and try not to live like the homeless children from the movie.

This is the best musical that I ever watch. It is the Australian–American movie that have a perfect match. It was directed by Baz Luhrman in 2001.

The main character is Satine (Nicole Kidman) who got a really special inside her with the beautiful body. The plot is based on the story which took place in Moulin Rouge. There was a British writer, Christian, who went to Moulin Rouge and fall in love with the most beautiful woman that every man wished to stay with, Satine.

Satine is the only star who shining in Moulin Rouge, she has been living in there for many years. She doing her job without falling in love with anyone because she knows that it cannot be the true love but then when she met Christian, everything has change, she was happy to be with him, every second that she spent with him is valuable and she is never want to let that feelings go away. Satine started to broke the rule that she never does before, falling in love. Anyway, when the Duke arrive and offer to handle this musical to be complete, Satine cannot does that job well. She always run away from the dike and stay with her love Christain.

From my point of view, this is the best musical movie that I ever watch. The music is so fabulous that stuck inside my ear all the time. Mostly, I love the song that Christian sang in the very first scene when he met Satine in the bedroom. Moreover, the sound was so great other from music, the sound effect was helping to build the feeling so well. I felt depress at the time when the Duke tried so hard to get Satine with the dirty way. And the first scene of showing Satine, it was so fabulous how they can manage the amazing art like this to introduce the main character.

I very like the plot that the director write the main character to die in the end. it made an audience knows that how much Satine very love Christian. She could do everything even lie to save his life. It is a true love and nothing and break down this string even the influencer like the Duke.

The art in the movie was well done. Every scene in the movie just looks amazing and very relevant to the message that the director wants to convey. For example, the last scene that Satine was in the very sick illness and she play in the role of the beauty woman in the guy, costume and everything was so good, I could feel that she can never make it till the end. This movie taught me about forbidden love which can be break down if that person really be honest for themselves. It told me that there are nothing impossible if we really want it, if we try it it can came true anyway. Be brave and follow your heart.

Mulholland Drive is the greatest surreal movie That most people said it was the best. The movie directed by David Lynch who is good at direct the surreal film. First of all, this movie is the most complicated film I ever watched, I mean it was a good one but it might take some time to get into the point. It is type of surreal movie based on the story of middle-aged women. Surreal art based on the imaginary of person. This kind of arts let the unreal story that stay inside the dream to come out freely, with no superego thoughts. Surreal arts always came along with sexual arousal. It holds on the thought that imaginary is the only way to complete the beauty of arts. The magical is more likely to mystery and science fiction which cover all arts and aliens includes perfect imaginary like it ain’t never ever happen in the real world. If compare Mulholland Drive to Un Chien Andalou, I think these two movie have things in common. To be clearly, they are both surrealism, they had the unreal situation which could be imaginary or dream and they had the erotic scene of feeling as well. Also, the picture and the action can convey audience to understand in various way or even made no sense to them at all. Anyway, Mulholland Drive is the perfect surreal movie which had all surreal element in there. Mulholland Drive contains the flip timeline story which make an audience to analyze from what they watched again and again. I understand that the movie tried to create surreal scene to fulfill Dianne’s imaginary to be more realistic. And it does work. The scene of young men had a dream and he was heart attack by the ghost, makes me think that the young men had a dream of being an actor but because the reality was never kind. To stay in the Hollywood world, it is not beautiful like people see. Just like the director, Adam, who got persecution from the man who is influencer more than him, means of the scary phantom of Hollywood side. Same as Dianne’s story, in her imaginary everything was so beautiful, she got the best apartment to stay, she got to be with the women she loves and she can be success with great opportunity that she had receive from her aunt and she did it well done. In fact, everything is not like that, she did not get the job that she wished to have even worse she lost her love, Camilla and never be happy again. So, Dianne chose to fool herself with the new beginning of using the name of “Betty”. Along with a good dream, many things warned her to stop fooling herself, for instance, an old women who said bad thing is going to happen, the old lady and old men who tried to displace her with the scary psycho face and loud noise which finally she can get away from her dream, the case of young man, etc. For all the time that “Betty” was in her world the reality always offer her to get out from fraud by providing a blue key to unlock the dream but she was trying to run away from it all the time. She always used the ‘Silencio’ word to protect her dream from being attack from the reality. In fact, fooling yourself is never work, no one can leave the reality, sooner or later you will definitely have to face the reality. Nothing you can do, if you cannot accept it, you better disappear from this world. There are many surreal scene is this movie include many elements like the content of sex, attitude, thoughts, light and sound. These things make Mulholland even better. For instance, when the light is barely turn on in the corner of black way, it built scary feeling in my mind to expect to something from the wall and when the old women and old men tried to get into the house by using a tiny and small body to go through the door, convince me that it is time to get out from imaginary. Also, the movement of Rita did help building audience emotion even better, in the scene of Rita tried to cut her hair but Betty replaced it with the blond wig, Rita moved into the mirror so smooth like she is a stranger. Moreover, it conveys the different attitude of sex between gender so clearly. It was a good transition that they used the blue key when they want to change the scene. It could be both transition and the key to climax.

This is the Italian movie which created in 1988 by the famous Italian director, Giuseppe Tornatore. It is the dramatic movie which mostly relevant to cinematic.

The story based on two guys in the different ages who interesting in the same thing, movie. Alfredo is a projectionist who control the projector of showing the movie and then Salvatore is a little boy who curious and want to learn more about movie process. At first he cannot get to learn how to use the projector but then Alfredo was finally taught him how to use it which later on Salvatore became to be a famous movie maker.

I can clearly see the transition appeared in many scenes like when Alfredo hold his head, it was the transition to throw back time or change the scene.   From my perspective, this movie gathered many valuable things in here. Including, lifestyle of people, peoples’ attitude to the cinematic, family, love, etc. In the first scene, it began with the present situation and throwing back to where the story started, they connected the story so well as the pavement of feeling for the audience is curious and want to know what was happen who is Alfredo and why Salvatore’s mother try to tell him about Alfredo’s story. Also, this movie could build up audience feeling so good. I have cry a few times while I watched this. If imagine myself to take place in the movie, I will be crying like this too. The movie gathered lots of feelings, sad, love, angry, scared, guilty, pathetic, etc. I can sense all these feelings while I watched it.

Also, the movie conveyed the meaning into an understandable way. For example, when people watch the movie inside the cinema, if they are upset they will do the whistle and split the saliva. Also, in the part of censor the kiss scene, to ring the bell of father means of cutting of the kiss scene. These can also be the transition of ring the bell too.

I like most of camera shot in this movie. For instance, the long shot of camera movement when Salvatore tried to seek to Elena’s daughter and camera took a long take of dolly until his sight get in to the car. It was impress me because not many movies do this kind of shot because I have never see the long take of dolly going around like this before. Also, I like the scene when Salvatore stays in his bed, the camera shot was from the side which I could see the white light came from the window which make the feeling of that scene even more thinkable.
