Perspective Diversity



   I love watching movies and discussing it with my friend. I often asked them, “What do you think of that movie?” my friend A replied, “I admire how the casts act. They were so great. I still couldn’t believe how she could absorb all of the complexity of that character of hers and acted it out. It leaves me speechless.” And then B added “It’s really cool how they made the cinematography. It was so well-thought, well-done and great. It still leaves me wondering how they can take that particular scene from that angle. It must’ve been hard but it paid off, nevertheless. It was brilliant.” Then C also added some spice into the game, to which he said “I’m really curious about their editing. How can they make such great movie? I wonder where do they learn to edit movie to become like that?”

 That event enable me to conclude this one thing : even from watching the same movie, every single one of us is looking at it from a different point of view. One from its acts, one from its cinematography, one from its editing and myself saw a film from its story-plot.

Well, for starter, if all of us were focusing on the story-plot only, the other aspects will go ashtray, right? No one wants to watch a bad movie, no matter how great the story-plot is. The actors and actresses have to be great along with the execution of the whole movie. The cinematography, special effects, editing and everything. All of them have to support one another to make one great movie. That’s why perspective diversity is so important. We need that difference in perspective. Those perspectives complete each other so we’ll able to grasp its big picture.

TEDtalk on “Helpful advice for aspiring writers of all ages” once said that no one else sees the world quite the same way as you do, so share your unique perspective. The main reason of me making this blog is I want to share my perspective with all of you. Some may agree, some may not. And it’s okay. My perspective, my way of seeing things doesn’t have to be your way of seeing things too.

Because none of us is the same, right?

I mentioned sixth sense in one of my previous post, the “What Should I do” one. True, I stated that the longer we know someone, we’ll develop some kind of sixth sense that’ll help us “communicate” with them. A wordless communication, so to say. That mind reader, gesture-talk kind of things. But I must say that that telepathy is a double edged sword. Why? Because it has its own downside. Opinion. Allow me to quote another saying of Haemin Sunim : “when we think we already know someone, we stop making effort to know them better. Consider when you think you already know your loved ones and when you do, you are failing to see them as they are right now, you see them through the prism of previously held opinions , instead.” Those words quoted from his “Love for Imperfect Things” book, and again, I could not believe how true it is. That “prism of previously held opinions” have an immense power to destroy our relationships because we instantly judge people. We did it in a heart...

A Copenhagen Love Story

Ten minutes have passed and I.am.still processing this movie. So it started out as me just trying to find some feel good, smiley romance movie to fill my afternoon up and this movie is the total opposite of that. It’s a mix of every feelings merged into one (even disbelief) and thankfully, the aftertaste is still, a very good one. The first feeling that I catch on the first part of the movie is love, yet it turned into confusion, bravery, strength & determination on the middle part but on the last part, the movie really is about love but that deep, profound love that leaves you so speechless and so glad that the actress herself is able to experience such love. They talk about fertility treatment on the middle part of the movie that, to some people, is so real & very relatable because they literally went through what she went through. The hope & the despair, the stress, the tears & fears, those countless tests and all those injections before & even after the pregnanc...

The Family Who Read

         I was raised in a family who appreciate reading. It’s all started way back when we were young. We grew up reading comic books, our parents often gave us books as our “naik kelas”’s gifts. So we ended up looking forward to books. I remember the feeling when we were anxiously waiting for our packs of books to open, couldn’t wait to read it as we already waiting for it for a long time. And as a continuation of that, by the time we were a teenager, we expand our liking to novels, and our house filled with fantasy books such as “Eragon”, “The Bartimaeus Trilogy” by Jonathan Stroud, books written by Cornelia Funke, “Maximum Ride” by James Patterson and the likes which supplied by our mother. So myself in particular found solace and curiousity in fantasy books.           So then we developed our love for books. Growing up, each of us found our own genre, as my brother likes “Haruki Murakami”, me and my father...
