Aku bingung!

Membaca buku ini, aku seperti tersesat, sebenarnya ini cerita tentang apa sih? Untung saja, di bagian belakang ada wawancara dengan Riri dan Prima-nya, jadi... paling tidak aku tahu sebenarnya maunya dua orang itu apa di film ini, hehehe. Btw, seingatku, aku juga belum menonton filmnya secara penuh. Aku mencoba paham, tapi aku tetep nggak ngerti ini tentang apa? Ya sudahlah...selamat membaca....

Buku fisiknya ini malah yang menarik. Wew, sepertinya ini buku cetakan pertama. Di halaman pertama ada tanda tangan keduanya... IS IT FOR REAL? wew...yap, aku emank beli buku ini di event Drive Books Not Cars, Minggu, 29 Januari 2012 di eX kemarin...cuman Rp10.000 dan awalnya ada brosur tentang launching-nya, tapi ternyata brosur itu malah ilang karena kupakai buat pembatas buku, jadi ceritanya pas aku baca sepanjang jalan ke kantor, suddenly it's gone!...Huwaaaaaaaaaaaa, cerobohnya aku! D*mn!

membaca skenario merupakan hal baru buat saya. ada pengalaaman tersendiri dan berbeda dengan membaca tulisan lain. tetapi untungnya setelah skenario ada penjelasan lanjutan dari empunya tulisan. jadi lebih jelas

Dua bintang aja deh.. karena setelah melewati waktu yang cukup lama sejak saya membacanya, ternyata cukup sulit untuk membongkar ingatan saya mengenai isi buku ini. Hal ini menandakan bahwa isi ceritanya sendiri kurang menarik bagi saya, dan tidak dapat melekat kuat di memori saya. Salah satunya mungkin karena visualisasi yang kurang, yang bagi saya merupakan komponen penting dalam buku skenario. Lain dengan novel yang seringkali memiliki deskripsi yang kuat sehingga kita dapat membangun bayangan sendiri terhadap cerita yang disampaikan. It was ok lah.
