In case you’re wondering it’s lyric Here you go

JKT48 – Heavy Rotation
“I want you! I need you! I love you! atama no naka gangan naatteru
music. Heavy rotation”

I got plenty of movies from the last holiday in Bandung, since then I never have time to watch it. However, today, I randomly chose one of many movies on my HD to be watched, and it turned out to be Page Eight.

For the basic review, this movie is umm European style, yeah it’s British. The genre is between espionage and thriller, with it’s unique style of storytelling. You know, the dialogue is superb here, it’s like in The Dark Knight when they use many vocabularies and literatures to express a simple thing. In conclusion, this is a good movie and a must watch for a European movie goers

Near in the end of this movie, there’s a funeral scene when people sing together this song “I vow to thee, my country”. I just speechless, it’s lyric is really spiritual and deep.. Although this movie is probably meant for fun / entertainment, but in my opinion, this scene really engages my nationalism.

Below are it’s full lyrics

I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.

I heard my country calling, away across the sea,
Across the waste of waters she calls and calls to me.
Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head,
And round her feet are lying the dying and the dead.
I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns,
I haste to thee my mother, a son among thy sons.

And there’s another country, I’ve heard of long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.

I just, Wow, British has this great patriotic song..
However, Indonesia Raya is the best patriotic song in my opinion, it’s national anthem for us, Indonesians!

Okay, let’s give a bit review about another good movie, Real Steel. IMO, this movie is combination of Boxing, Father-son Drama, and Transformers. Believe me, you should watch it, you won’t be disappointed in facts you’ll be amazed of it

There are 2 best scenes in this movie: First, when Charlie and Max win the hearts of audience after last round finished. They are lose literally, but somehow I feel that they win the game. Second, when Charlie drives long way home only to kiss Bailey. She asked Charlie “1200 miles for a kiss?”, and he answered gently “Worth it. So worth it.”.. Damm, this is really touching

Kudos to the director, Shawn Levy! He can manage proportions of actions, drama, and comedy equally!

Oh BTW, I’m very impressed by the opening song, All My Days, sung by Alexi Murdoch. It’s lyric somehow reminds me of my days, hehe

Well I have been searching all of my days
All of my days
Many a road, you know
I’ve been walking on
All of my days
And I’ve been trying to find
What’s been in my mind
As the days keep turning into night

Well I have been quietly standing in the shade
All of my days
Watch the sky breaking on the promise that we made
All of this rain
And I’ve been trying to find
What’s been in my mind
As the days keep turning into night

Well many a night I found myself with no friends standing near
All of my days
I cried aloud
I shook my hands
What am I doing here
All of these days
For I look around me
And my eyes confound me
And it’s just too bright
As the days keep turning into night

Now I see clearly
It’s you I’m looking for
All of my days
Soon I’ll smile
I know I’ll feel this loneliness no more
All of my days
For I look around me
And it seems He found me
And it’s coming into sight
As the days keep turning into night
As the days keep turning into night
And even breathing feels all right
Yes, even breathing feels all right
Now even breathing feels all right
It’s even breathing
Feels all right
