Film Manca Romantis



Hailo again, Today I will review some  film that I really like it.

1.       Angus thongs and the perfect snogging




Film ini sebenarnya kurang baik ditonton untuk usia dibawah 17 tahun. Kenapa ?
Soalnya dari judulnya ajah udah keliatan kan kalau itu film tentang “snogging”. Hehehe
Tetatpi ga melulu tentang itu kok. Alasan aku suka film ini karena film ini menampilkan peran utama yaitu Georgia Nicolson yang enggak popular dan memiliki banyak kekurangan seperti hidung yang dia selalu anggap seukuran yupiter. GG (Georgia) juga dianggap lucu oleh teman-temannya.  Angus sendiri adalah nama kucing miliknya yang menghubungkan dia dan cinta sejatinya yaitu Robbie. Robbie adalah murid pindahan dari london. GG jatuh cinta padanya bersamaan dengan sahabatnya jas dengan saudara dari robbie yaitu tom. Mereka merencanakan banyak hal untuk menarik perhatian 2 bersaudara itu. Sayangnya, Robbie ternyata pacar dari wanita seksi dan populer yaitu Lindsay. Tapi akhirnya Robbie menyadari bahwa GG lah belahan jiwanya. He said to people, “Georgia is perfect, she’s funny perfect”. Robbie mengatakan di pesta kejutan ulang tahun GG. That is so romantic.
Film ini menunjukan bahwa orang yang benar-benar menyayangi kita akan menerima kita apa adanya. 

2.       Chasing Liberty


Liberty? Kaya nama patung di negeri paman sam.
Yap, ceritanya tentang anak presiden amerika yang jatuh cinta pada salah satu agen rahasia yang ditugaskan untuk menjaganya, Ben calder. Mereka bertemu saat Anna melarikan diri untuk merasakan kebebasan sebenarnya setelah kencannya gagal karena agen rahasia. Awalnya Anna tidak tahu bahwa Ben calder adalah salah satu agen dari Mr. President alias ayahnya. Ben calder memang agen yang professional, namun ia juga engga menampik bahwa ia juga tertarik pada anna foster. Mereka ingin menuju love parade di berlin tapi salah kereta membuat mereka ke venice. Agen yang lain pun kebingungan mencari mereka. Anna dan Ben terjebak dalam hari-hari yang membuat mereka saling jatuh cinta. Ben berjanji membawa Anna ke love parade tapi disanalah Anna tahu bahwa Ben adalah agen suruhan ayahnya. Penasaran lanjutannya ? Nonton ajah langsung.

3.       Shopaholic 


Siapa sih  wanita yang ga suka belanja ?
Film ini nyeritain tentang wanita shopaholic yaitu wanita yang gila belanja. Rebecca Bloomwood adalah  seorang jurnalis di majalah pertanian, walaupun sebenarnya dia ingin sekali bekerja di Alete yaitu majalah fashion. Perusahaan tempat ia bekerja bangkrut, padahal ia punya hutang yang sangat banyak sampai debt collector bernama Derek Smeath selalu menguntitnya untuk menagih hutangnya. Ia pun melamar di Alete, namun sayang lowongan sudah terisi dan resepsionis menunjukan peluang untuk rebecca dengan melamar di majalah Successful Saving, Majalah nasehat keuangan. Ia bertemu dengan Luke Brandon yaitu editor Successful Saving yang ia temui saat ia ingin menukar uang dengan cek pada penjual hotdog untuk membeli scarf. Rebecca masuk ke dalam dunia yang sama sekali tidak ia bayangkan. Sahabatnya pun sampai berkata bagaimana bisa orang dengan banyak hutang menasehati orang lain dalam mengelola uang. Rebecca mengikuti terapi shopaholic untuk mengobati kesenangan berbelanja yang berlebihan. Ia hidup dalam kebohongan karena belanja. Akibatnya ia kehilangan pekerjaanya, kepercayaan suze sahabatnya, sampai orang yang dicintainya Luke brandon. Film ini mengajarkan bahwa ketika seseorang mengatakan satu kebohongan maka terciptalah kebohongan yang lain. Namun sisi baiknya, bagaimana orang itu mau mengakui dan memperbaiki kesalahannya seperti Rebecca. Film ini lucu dan romantis.
What a really nice movie!

4.       She is the man


Tahu kan film olivia yang dulu dibintangi velove vexia?
Nah film itu sebenarnya terinspirasi dari film ini nih. Bedanya cuma nama peran-perannya.
Peran utama dalam film ini adalah viola, gadis yang suka sekali bermain bola. Dia sampai menyamar menjadi kakaknya untuk main bola dan melawan tim lelaki dari sekolahnya yang telah membubarkan tim sepakbola putri. Viola satu kamar dengan Duke orsino, yang akhirnya akan menjadi kekasihnya. Film ini lucu banget. Tingkah viola yang berlagak seperti laki-laki dan bagaimana olivia (gadis yang duke suka) justru menyukainya.

5.       Cinderella Story


Cinderella ? Dongeng tentang gadis yang hidup dengan ibu dan 2 saudara tiri yang jahat dan akhirnya bertemu sang pangeran yang akan menyelamatkan hidupnya. Dongeng klasik yang semua anak tahu mungkin. Nah, film ini menurutku versi modernnya. Mungkin aku termasuk orang yang dapat sindrom cinderella  kali yah makanya aku suka film yang kaya gini. Hahaha
Soalnya hal yang ga mungkin di dunia nyata, bisa ada gambarannya di dunia film. That is why I love film so much.


Itu cuma segelintir drama yang aku suka, masih banyak yang lain. Ada a walk to remember, her best move, new york minutes, bring it on, mean girl, ice princess, high school musical, camp rock, post graduate, and many more.
