Some dreams live on in time forever

those dreams, you want with all
your heart

and i'll do whatever it takes
follow through with the promise i made
put it all on the line
what i hoped for at last would be mine

if i could reach, higher
just for one moment touch the sky
from that one moment
in my life
i'm gonna be stronger
know that i've tried my
very best
i'd put my spirit to the test
if i could reach

some days are meant to be
remembered
those days we rise above
the stars

so i'll go the distance
this time
seeing more the higher i climb
that the more i believe
all the more that this
dream will be mine

performance by Gloria Estefan

Actually, this song are sang at 1996 Olympic. But, dunno why..if I connected with the last movie that I saw (and it's becoming my fave ones...), The Chronicles of Narnia, the song could be represented of Prince Caspian's feeling. Fought his own kingdom to released a land that should be conquer and returned it to the Narnians. He tried to do something right, even he never got support from his own people. Firstly, he seemed like it's an impossible duty, but finally...he can through it all. He got the respect as the new King of Narnia.

Maybe, we ever have same feeling like him. Doing something that seems impossible, coz nobody support us. Nobody told that we can do it....nobody said that what we do is the right thing. But, we know...something inside us, believe that what we do is what we need to do.
Never stop believing. 'Coz we can reach everything we dream on....

mORe ThAn It sEeMs

Is my imagination running away
Or is all this really happening to me
Am I a prince in a far away land filled with fantasy

Where is reality and what are the actions
that will define who I am?
I am holding onto the visions I've seen of what I could be
It's what I should be

More than it seems these dreams inside
Blur reality's line
If I could believe the dreams aside
I am capable more than it seems

Passing through darkness into my own world
Will I be more than when I left
Never letting go of the lessons I learned
This will make a change
A change within me

This time I won't run away
I found the strength to face life's long days
'Til there's nothing left of me
Show me the way to these dreams

Performance by Kutless

The song is an interpretation of what Peter's thought about himself. An ordinary young boy, who suddenly being a king of unknown kingdom, and he must be released it from the evil source. Simple, eh?

But sometimes, we also be like that. Being in an unpredictable situation, which cannot be avoided. We have no choice, besides through it. Like Peter did...
Sometimes, it's not a choice....but it's a destiny.

4/5 stars -- The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

Category:	Movies
Genre:	Science Fiction & Fantasy

Buat gw adalah suatu keharusan dan WAJIB untuk ngereview ni film, secara gw adalah Narnia-freak (you can notice it by my name :p). So, gw wanti-wanti...ini adalah review yang AMAT SANGAT SUBYEKTIF BANGET!! Klo nyari yang lebih objektif, bisa diliat di blognya Langdonsama ato Kreme ajah :p

Kembali keempat Pevensie bersaudara "dibawa" ke Narnia, kali ini pe-ernya lebih berat. Kudu ngalahin pak-liknya Prince Caspian, si King Miraz, yang ngerebut tahta kekuasaan Narnia. Dan Prince Caspian, yang pada awalnya bentrok dengan (my dearest and most lovely) King Peter, akhirnya dipercaya untuk memimpin pasukan Centaurus, Faun, Griffins, dwarfs dan makhluk-makhluk (yang akan banyak ditemukan di buku-buku dongeng klasik Eropa) Narnia lainnya untuk merebut apa yang jadi hak mereka.

Gw berani ngasih empat bintang (maunya lima..tapi tar Adamson klo baca ini jadi gak mo nerusin sekuelnya PC lagi )karena:

1. Adamson nepati janjinya buat ngasih more action scenes than before. Kita bisa liat dari adegan pertempuran mulai di kastil Miraz, trus pertarunga one on one Peter ma Miraz (I really love this scene!!! <3) sampai pertempuran akbar di Fords of Beruna di depan Aslan's How. Thx for the scenes, Mr.Adamson.

2. Para pemeran Pevensie improved!!!! Itu yang paling penting. Terutama Peter (ehm)!! Masih ingat pas di LWW (Lion, Witch and the wardrobe) betapa kaku-nya akting Will Moseley? Nah, di PC, he so darn brilliant!!! Edmund juga..dia jadi lebih wiser dan humoris, meski gak dapet banyak porsi dialog. Susan, sangat menonjol dengan perannya dalam mimpin archery army. Klo di buku kan cewek-ceweknya gak dapet porsi dalam pertempuran. Nah..karena Adamson (mungkin) penganut emansipasi wanita..jadilah si Susan bisa ikutan di medan perang. GIRLZ POWER!!!

3. VIEWS-nya....naudzubillah..mak jan!!! Uapik tenan!!! So byutifull!! Amazing! Syuting di New Zealand, Praha, dan Slovenia...mang rada capek. Tapi....hasilnya...wuiiii.......awesome! Bahkan adegan berperahu Pevensies sama Trumpkin di hutan (yang gak mungkin kejamah manusia ntu) yang hanya sekian detik, mampu meninggalkan kesan bahawa Narnia tu indah banget :)

4. Dan lain dan gak bukan....SPESIAL EFEK-nya!! Munculnya Dewa Sungai sebagai adegan penutup. Trus Aslan sendiri...para peri hutan, pohon-pohon yang berjalan, adegan last battle di Ford....wooooooooooowwwwww....(kapan yak Weta Digital sama Pixar buka lowongan? hikz...)

Yah gw puas banget, karena ni film is more than I expected
tapi...gw hanya kecewa satu...
Gw ketinggalan di setengah jam pertama :'(
So..sore ini , gw mo nonton untuk yang kedua kalinya.
Klo masih lom puas, besok gw nonton lagi. Pokoknya sampe bisa nancep semua adegan di ati, baru dah gw stop (apalagi liat kantong yang makin nipis lom gajian) :p

Sudah gw bilang klo ini review yang sangat subyektif kan? I'm Dani the Narnia-freak..so what? ;)

edit delete reply darnia wrote on May 18, '08 phonay said gw ga bisa ngebayangin view-nya waktu baca bukunya, itu karena penerjemahannya yang rada payah... :( coba Ferli baca yang buku aslinya. Suer..gaya bahasanya keren banget C.S Lewis mang top....

delete reply israkiyah wrote on May 18, '08, edited on May 18, '08 gw ambil 5 stars del... gw dah ntn twice... sabtu mnggu.. tanpa ketinggalan.. karena ada bagian yg cepet dan dialog yg ntn pertama blom sepenuhnya tercerna.. maklumlah.. klamaan udah agak2 lupa ma cerita 1nya. tp gw suka bgt prince caspiannnnnnnnnnnnn dan edmund.... dan smua mereka punya porsi yg saling mendukung........... sungainyaaaaaaaaaaa....tikus2 itu weew.... awesome

edit delete reply darnia wrote on May 18, '08 israkiyah said gw ambil 5 stars del... wowowowoowowoowowowowwwww tengkyuuuu, ra.... klo buat gw King Peter gada matinya :p mana film ini kan adegan perpisahan ma Pete n Su :(( gw nangis nontonnya :(( Gonna miss you to death, my King.... :'(

delete reply israkiyah wrote on May 18, '08 iya.... mereka emang ga bakal balik k narnia ya del??

edit delete reply darnia wrote on May 18, '08 israkiyah said mereka emang ga bakal balik k narnia ya del?? *spolier allert* di sekuel selanjutnya Voyage of The Dawn Treader, akan ada tokoh baru, ra..namanya Eustace Scrubb (sepupu Pevensies dan lebih muda dari Lu). Dan VoTD itu juga film perpisahannya Lu sama Ed. Gak tau ide dasarnya kayak apa, tapi intinya anak2 yang dah balegh alias dah remaja...gak bisa balik ke Narnia. Kan di PC, Pete sama Su juga dah gede. Dah ABG....mereka punya dunia sendiri, masa buat nyari jati diri. Ntar mereka semua balik lagi (except Su) ke Narnia, tapi....in a tragic way :) Narnia dah bukan sekedar dunia ajaib lagi, tapi menjadi Surga :D Kira-kira gitu deh....

delete reply langdonsama wrote on May 19, '08 hmmm...jadi pengen baca semua bukunya nih, tapi langdon denger cuman dibuat trilogy lho filmnya, yah semoga aja nggak yah ^^, kalo di setiap sequel semakin baik seperti PC bisa jadi 7 bukunya semua di film-in...kan semua tergantung fans ^^ btw bener tuh buku2 narnia terjemahannya jelek banget, langdon bener2 males bacanya dan berhenti beli bukunya, tapi setelah PC jadi penasaran baca smua bukunya hehe...

delete reply phonay wrote on May 20, '08 langdonsama said btw bener tuh buku2 narnia terjemahannya jelek banget, langdon bener2 males bacanya dan berhenti beli bukunya oooh.. pantes yah.. gw kira, gw dah kehilangan imajinasi gw, ternyata terjemahannya yang ga bagus yah

edit delete reply darnia wrote on May 20, '08 phonay said gw dah kehilangan imajinasi gw klo bayangin bisa bayangin Langdon-sensei berarti imajinasi Ferli baek-baek aja...klo dah mulai bayangin joejoe..baru deh..imajinasi Ferli harus diperiksa :D yoi...terjemahannya yang gak bagus. Tu buku (CoN series) kan terbitnya pada jaman2 bareng LoTRnya Tolkien (CSL ma Tolkien sahabatan..bow!!) jadi ya bahasanya gaya bahasa novel Inggris klasik. Inget buku2nya Enid Blyton? Tu kan gaya bahasanya sama...hanya..gara-gara CSL masukin unsur religi di CoN...makanya dia rada-rada berhati-hati dalam gaya berbahasanya, biar gak salah nangkep. Nah...di kita, tu buku ditranslate di jaman yang punya gaya bahasa yang beda. Jadinya....amburadul...(bandingin ma terjemahannya HP...beda banget kan gaya bahasanya?) Semoga, CoN bakal diTRANSLATE ULANG....bukan diganti cover doang :p

edit delete reply darnia wrote on May 20, '08 langdonsama said tapi setelah PC jadi penasaran baca smua bukunya hehe... hehehehehhe...langdon-sensei pasti komen deh klo gw nge-review film (meski review-an gw jaoooh di bawah review-an sensei :D)...makasih, sensei... Setau gw sih....dulu mo dibikin trilogi karena menurut Adamson, dia hanya mo nge-shoot keempat Pevensie bersaudara, yang notabene hanya muncul sampe VoDT (muncul lagi sih di Last Battle..tapi ya itu... :'(...) Ternyata sambutan buat CoN LWW luar biasa, bahkan perolehan box-officenya ngalahin Harry Potter yang saat itu masih merajai (bahkan masuk nominasi Oscar kan...HP enggak ;) ..) Nah..akhirnya...si oom Adamson ini bertekad...dia mo bikin semua seri di CoN (hanya gw gak tau HHB sama MN dibikin juga ato gak...itu kan kayak crita sempilan aja)..tapi yang pasti butuh CG-technology yang maha dahsyat buat nyiptain kiamat di Last Battle :D I can't wait for that (selain kemunculan kembali my King) Sensei baca aja bukunya...tapi saran gw yang English edition aja (meski mahal..tapi worthed kok)..trus cari aja yang ada tulisannnya Complete and Unabridge..biar gada bagian yang ilang ;) met baca, sensei :D

delete reply phonay wrote on May 20, '08 darnia said .tapi saran gw yang English edition aja (meski mahal..tapi worthed kok) waduh... nyeleseinnya berapa lama gw huhuhu.. gw aja HP 3 versi bhs inggris kaga selese2 sampe sekarang hahaha

edit delete reply darnia wrote on May 20, '08 phonay said nyeleseinnya berapa lama gw huhuhu :D sabar, Fer....orang sabar disayang Arief :p gw masih sebatas *baca sambil berdiri* di toko buku klo CoN english version...nabungnya gak kelar-kelar :P
