p.s. this movie is not a
horror movie. It is about a deep meaning of life, of existence. Explaining
something big in a scoop that small. Creating real pain, suffer and sadness
just to watch. Mostly this movie is speaking;
"The life that we live today
was very short. And once you're gone, the entire thing you left behind is still
moving on. Doesn't stop for a goddamn second. No one would really die for you.
You're all alone."
two-dimensional-side-of-the-story
This movie was about a story of a ghost. Like, literally. A husband and wife
who lives in a house, nice house in a lonely neighborhood. The husband is a songwriter
who doesn't make much money to make a good living, but love is something that
keep them together.
One day, the husband
dies and leaves the wife alone with no one to love. The husband later become
spirit, actually a ghost like something we used to scare our siblings using a
blanket to cover our body and make a pair of holes for eyes.
The husband refuse to go
to the next world and chose to meet his wife. And seeing his wife doesn't make
him feel better ( actually i'm finding the right word for arwah penasaran but
i found nothing, so, yeah ). Seeing his beloved one sad and living in his
memories just make him more suffer, but still couldn't leave.
And apparently, his wife
found someone new. Once, his wife brought a guy, new guy to the house and
kissed that guy like no one watching. The anger, pain and suffer make the
entire house shook, makes her feeling the presence of her beloved one.
The wife decided to
leave the house just like the her and her husband plan to do shortly before his
death. Before moving, She left something like a note in a peace of paper on the
house, somewhere that hard to reach. Her-Ghost-Husband watch her leaving and
try to reaching the note for years.
Time, is something that
run so fast when being a ghost. He sees people come and go leaving the house
just for reaching the note. Until time hit him back to past, time where
everything starts. And bring him back at the time when he left her wife
forever. He read what written on that piece of paper and He leaves the life of
this world shortly after that.
Me,
This movie genuinely hits me hard. Make me feel a deeper emotions of sadness
and complete pain of lost just to watch this movie, and deeper after i think
about it.
This movie contain a minimalist dialog and i didn't mean its less, But
perfectly placed. And there's lot of scene that contain a long still scene that
really hit right in the feels. The cinematography was really cool and doesn't
like usual. It use 4:3 ratio with rounded edges and makes this movie not like
an usual movie and this is a good thing.
