World Cup 2010 - Day 17

Day 17: The World Cup Begins Now

The best 16 from 32 finalist. From 4 matches to date, there are 15 goals yielded. That are so impressive because normally teams will be more cagey in knock out phase. Hopefully this trend will be continue.

My favourite team England are out, though I'll not losing any sleep on that. Yes, there are few dissatisfaction about the goal line incident, but certainly Germany are the better outfit. My other favourites, Mexico and South Korean also shown tickets back. On positive notes, there will longer summer recuperation for Uniteds World Cup star. Rooney, Carrick, Hernandez, Park, Vidic, and Evra, plus already injured Ferdinand and Nani.

My favourite teams (I'm not a fan though) at this moment :Portugal and Netherland. And hopefully  the Japanese and the Chilean will do well too.

Denias, Senandung di Atas Awan

Denias, Senandung di Atas Awan merupakan filem keluaran Indonesia tahun 2006. Ia telah memasuki pemilihan Anugerah Oscar pada tahun tersebut.

Ia mengisahkan Denias seorang anak orang asli Papua yang ingin meneruskan pendidikannya bagi meneruskan amanat mendiang ibunya. Persekolahannya terencat seketika kerana guru yang mengajar telah meninggalkan perkampungan tersebut. Keazamannya yang kuat membawanya merantau beratus batu ke pekan berdekatan demi meneruskan cita -citanya.

Filem ini mempunyai sedikit persamaan dengan Laskar Pelangi. Perbezaan besarnya, ia dilakar berdasarkan kisah hidup sebenar seorang anak orang asli Papua yang bernama Janias, manakala Laskar Pelangi berdasarkan novel.

Keseluruhannya, ia merupakan sebuah filem yang sangat memberi inspirasi terutamanya kepada mereka yang amat menghargai erti pendidikan. Pemandangan yang tenang di kawasan pergunungan serta budaya hidup orang asli melatari filem ini. Rating 8/10.

Waltz With Bashir

Waltz With Bashir merupakan filem dokumentari-animasi 2D Israel yang dikeluarkan pada tahun 2008. Ia telah memenangi pelbagai anugerah dan pengiktirafan antarabangsa pada tahun tersebut. Namun ia telah diharamkan tayangannya di beberapa negara Arab dan dunia Islam umumnya.
