2001 A Space Odyssey
I just recently watch this slightly boring movie with mindblowing imagery (especially that year on 1968). It started reaaally slow on black out orchestra, then some image that i thought was just some photos, and continued with the first arc of monkey story, and well, you just have to watch the movie then. There isn't much dialog or story but the way kubrick envisioned the future are somehow accurate. This movie are really making another space movie on that era and sometimes after, are dumb comparing to this (oh that include star wars too).

Yoshihiro Tatsumi 辰巳 ヨシヒロ A Drifting Life 劇画漂流
Hanyut is actually an Indonesian version of 劇画漂流 (Gekiga Hyoryu), released in America as "A Drifting Life". I'm not really a fan of gekiga, but Tatsumi's story about how he try to do an experiment on how manga are made, are really interesting. It's started on early of his life on 1945, post war era on Japan. Started making a standard 4 box humor manga and then inspired by movie, when at the time movie only played on theater. A biography that includes meeting Osamu Tezuka, try make a 3d manga, and also how manga industry evolved in Japan.

Few months ago i found Jonny Greenwood album which is a soundtrack of a movie, There Will Be Blood. It contain pure orchestra without any electric element add-on as we usually found in movie score these days. From hearing the score, i thought the movie was gonna be silent, kind of metropolis-esque image in my head. Finally i got a chance to watch the movie, and the first few minutes are actually indeed silent, absolutely no dialogue, and that kinda satisfy me hahah!
