JOGJA-NETPAC ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL - SIHUNG (2016)

Apapun usungan temanya, meski sensitif sekalipun, saya selalu beranggapan sudah semestinya dokumenter berlaku jujur, terbuka, apa adanya merangkum kenyataan. Namun sebuah karya merupakan curahan rasa pula pikir yang menjadi alat bagi penciptanya menyuarakan sesuatu baik keresahan maupun opini. Dokumenter pun memiliki permasalahan, dan mengingat dalam tiap permasalahan selalu ada setidaknya dua

JOGJA-NETPAC ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL - KNIFE IN THE CLEAR WATER (2016)

Berdasarkan survei tahun 2010, penganut Islam di China sebesar 1,7%, hanya lebih tinggi dari Taoism (0,8%). Tidak mengherankan apabila media film masih jarang menjadikannya sentral cerita, sehingga debut penyutradaraan Wang Xuebo ini terasa menyegarkan, menyoroti sudut Negeri Tirai Bambu yang jarang diangkat ke permukaan. Bertempat di kawasan pegunungan di Provinsi Ningxia, "Knife in the Clear

WORKSHEET

JOGJA-NETPAC ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL - TURAH (2016)

Kita menjadikan film sebagai escapism. Ledakan bombastis, aksi pahlawan super hingga romantika penuh kesempurnaan jadi alat pelarian dari kepenatan hidup sehari-hari. Tapi di sisi berlawanan, film memiliki fungsi lain yakni jendela bagi penonton guna menilik realita, entah yang biasa ditemui, terlupakan atau memang jarang diungkap ke permukaan. "Turah" selaku karya debut sutradara/penulis

JOGJA-NETPAC ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL - HARMONIUM (2016)

Bersama tapi tidak bersatu, begitulah bentuk keluarga yang coba Koji Fukada perlihatkan di "Harmonium" karya terbarunya yang berhasil memenangkan Jury Prize dalam seksi Un Certain Regard, Cannes Film Festival. Film dibuka dengan aktivitas makan malam Toshio (Kanji Furutachi) bersama sang istri, Akie (Mariko Tsutsui) dan putrinya, Hotaru (Momone Shinokawa). Makan bersama merupakan salah satu

THE WAILING (2016)

Serupa "The Chaser" selaku karya perdananya, Na Hong-jin kembali mengusung jalinan investigasi kasus pembunuhan sebagai sentral cerita. Hanya saja kali ini berhiaskan supranatural, memfasilitasinya menumpahkan berbagai unsur sub-genre horor mulai zombie, demonic, possession, occult, hingga psikologis, yang tersusun rapi berkat solidnya penulisan naskah Na. Menjadikan sebuah area rural yang

MOANA (2016)

Saya tahu sedang menyaksikan suatu tontonan spesial saat durasi baru bergulir selama 10 menit dan air mata telah mengalir deras, bukan disebabkan kesedihan melainkan rasa haru mendapati keindahan yang mendiamkan semua kata-kata, meniadakan ekspresi verbal. Sederhananya: magis. "Moana", selaku animasi ke-56 Disney sanggup melakukan itu melalui adegan sederhana ketika sang titular character 

MAJU KENA MUNDUR KENA RETURNS (2016)

Dirilis pada 1983, "Maju Kena Mundur Kena" tak persembahan tersukses Warkop DKI, pula film Indonesia dengan jumlah penonton terbanyak (658.000) sebelum dilewati oleh "Pengkhianatan G-30-S PKI" setahun kemudian. Maju ke 2016 ketika "Warkop DKI Reborn: Jangkrik Boss Part 1" sanggup menjadi film Indonesia terlaris sepanjang masa, Multivision Plus (MVP, dahulu bernama PT. Parkit Films) selaku

RUMAH MALAIKAT (2016)

Saya sering menyebut bahwa hal terpenting dari horor adalah filmnya menyeramkan, tapi bukan berarti naskah sama sekali tak dibutuhkan. Berbeda dengan drama, poin utama naskah dalam horor tidak perlu sampai menggali cerita dan karakter melainkan cukup sebagai motor penggerak alur, sehingga penonton memiliki sesuatu untuk diikuti sembari menunggu kehadiran teror. Karena selain horor

ALLIED (2016)

Apa yang terjadi bila Robert Zemeckis, sutradara dengan kegemarannya memanfaatkan teknologi diharuskan menggarap film bermuatan cerita old-school ditambah tribute kental bagi klasik macam "Cassablanca"? "Allied" adalah jawabannya. Naskahnya mengandung formula lawas percintaan berbalut espionage dengan setting Perang Dunia II, sementara visualnya berhiaskan CGI modern nan mempesona. Bahkan

UNDER THE SHADOW (2016)

Pada 1980-an saat pecahnya peperangan antara Iran dan Irak, warga Teheran khususnya kaum perempuan hidup dalam rasa takut sekaligus tekanan. Selain harus setiap hari mewaspadai serangan misil, mereka pun terenggut kebebasannya, tidak diperkenankan memiliki VCR (bukan bagi perempuan saja), bahkan dilarang keluar rumah tanpa memakai jilbab. "Under the Shadow" selaku debut penyutradaraan Babak

Paddington: Polite Requests for Help

I simply love this movie. It is funny,  sweet and touching. It is great for children and adults. I recommend it. 

I. Watch the movie segment and talk to your partner about the questions below.

1. Was Paddington, the bear, polite with the people around him?

2. What went wrong?

3. What should he do to draw attention to him politely?

II. Read the expressions below and decide in which situations they would be most appropriate?

1. Can you give me a hand with this?

2. Could you help me for a second?

3. Can I ask a favor?

4. I wonder if you could help me with this?

5. I could do with some help, please.

6. I can't manage. Can you help?

7. Give me a hand with this, will you?

8. Lend me a hand with this, will you?

9. Could you spare a moment?

10. I need some help, please.

III. Now check the explanations for the best use for those requests and compare them to  your answers. 

Phrase 1 is quite a direct question to use with friends and people who you know quite well.

Phrase 2 is more polite. We include the words 'for a second' to show that we don't need a lot of help 

and that it will not be difficult.

Phrase 3 is a general way of introducing a request for help.

Phrase 4 is polite and can be used with people you don't know very well, or with your boss.

Phrase 5 is quite direct, and the focus is that you really need help. It's quite strong.

Phrase 6 shows you have a big problem. You are desperate for help. you often hear this phrase when somebody has too much work to do.

Phrases 7 and 8 are similar and are direct requests for help. 'Lend a hand' is a little more polite and old-fashioned than 'give me a hand.'

We use phrase 9 to show that we respect that the other person is really quite busy and to say that they will only need to help you for a short time.

Phrase 10 is a direct question and the asker does not expect the listener to say no. This is often used by people in authority e.g. bosses.
