$tory, Visual & The Vvitch



1. HORROR & RATING R
Distributor : A24 | Release Date : February 19, 2016.

2. A NEW ENGLAND FOLKTALE
The plot follows a Puritan family encountering forces of evil in the woods beyond their New England farm, forces that may be either real or imagined.

3. FLYING OINTMENT
Flying ointment, also known as witches' flying ointment, green ointment, magic salve and lycanthropic ointment, is a hallucinogenic ointment said to be used by witches in the Early Modern period (first described by Alice Kytelerin 1324).

Ointments are formulated using hydrophobic, hydrophilic, or water-emulsifying bases to provide preparations that are immiscible, miscible, or emulsifiable with skin secretions. They can also be derived from hydrocarbon (fatty), absorption, water-removable, or water-soluble bases.

A hallucinogenis a psychoactive agent which can cause hallucinations, perceptual anomalies, and other substantial subjective changes inthoughts, emotion, and consciousness. The common types of hallucinogens are psychedelics,dissociatives and deliriants. Although hallucinations are not an uncommon symptom ofamphetamine psychosis, amphetamines are not considered hallucinogens, as they are not a primary effect of the drugs themselves. While stimulants do not induce hallucinations without abuse, the nature of stimulant psychosis is not unlike delirium.

4. GOAT
Popular Christian folk tradition in Europe associated Satan with imagery of goats. A common superstitionin the Middle Ages was that goats whispered lewd sentences in the ears of the saints. The origin of this belief was probably the behavior of the buck inrut, the very epitome of lust. The common medieval depiction of the Devil was that of a goat-like face with horns and small beard (agoatee). The Black Mass, a probably-mythological "Satanic mass", was said to involve a black goat, the form in which Satan supposedly manifested himself for worship.

10,000,000.00 USD



10,000,000.00 (USD) adalah budget kecil untuk dunia film ‪di Hollywood sana. Dalam beberapa hari terakhir, saya sempatkan mencaritahu (via box office mojo + wikipedia) tentang beberapa film #SleeperHit dengan budget maksimal seperti tertera di atas. Satu hal yang menarik, film-film kita sebenarnya bisa masuk ke dalam "celah" itu. Yang jadi masalah, nilai "currency" yang membuat kita secara psikologis jadi "nggak pede" bersaing dengan bangsa lain. Faktor yang sebenarnya bukan hanya dirasakan insan film, nyaris semua bidang. Mungkin ke depan, perlu banyak ahli ekonomi (marketing) yang bergabung dalam industri ini, agar "Industri Hilir Perfilman Indonesia" lebih realistis lagi.


Yang jadi masalah itu bukan "jumlah duitnya", tapi bagaimana perhitungan bisnisnya sehingga mumpuni untuk jumlah yang se-begitu besar? Barusan melirik ‪#‎Forbes‬ (udah lama nggak buka-buka) jadi berfikir, dari sekian banyak list yang ada, jumlah "10 Juta USD" itu ternyata nggak ada apa-apanya. Dengan jumlah "10 Juta USD", bisa bikin berapa banyak film jika nilai currency diubah menjadi IDR? Film dengan pasar internasional, pasar dalam negeri, pasar daerah, bahkan komunitas?

Why "The Lady in The Van" so $pecial?




1. THE STORY
It tells the true story of Mary Shepherd, an elderly woman who lived in a dilapidated van on Bennett's driveway in London for 15 years.
The Lady in the Van - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2. THE ACTRESS
Maggie Smith is Professor Minerva McGonagall.

3. BEDFORD
Bedford Vehicles, usually shortened to just Bedford, was a brand of vehicle produced by Vauxhall Motors, which established in 1930. The brand was retired in 1991.

4. WRITER'S POINT OF VIEW (DIARY)

"No one knew her well,” said Alan Bennett of the lady who lived for 15 years in a van outside his house. “Even I didn’t know her well. But I knew what she was like.”


5. STAGE
The Lady in the Van (1999).


6. RADIO
A radio play of the same title was broadcast on 21 February 2009 on BBC Radio 4, with actress Maggie Smith reprising her role of Miss Shepherd and Alan Bennett playing himself.


7. MISS SHEPHERD
Miss Shepherd: stubborn, humourless, cantankerous, ungrateful and extremely smelly, an odour that Bennett describes in the film as “predominantly wet wool and onions, which she eats raw, combined with urine and damp newspaper”.

Mungkin ini yang dimaksud dari "The Alchemist"

Akhir-akhir ini sering mengingat, apa saja yang pernah aku jalani di dalam hidup. Kembali mengenang masa lalu buat aku sadar, bahwa tidak ada yang "nggak berarti". Semua punya arti, meski sekarang aku berasa semakin bodoh. Gak masalah, kok. Malah aku ketemu kalau kebodohan itu berkah. Paling yang terberat adalah, mengatasi perasaan"terhina" akibat dibodohi. Jika berhasil mengatasi problem hinaan tersebut, rasanya "plong", sebab bodoh bukan berarti buruk.

Maafkan aku, My Dreams! Aku tak setangguh dulu untuk wujudkanmu.
