Recently, I rewatched Wes Anderson’s 2009 movie, Fantastic Mr. Fox. Although it was marketed as a children’s movie, based on the book by Roald Dahl, it holds more than just that. I think it’s a very underrated movie.
The first time I watched it...
Setelah perjalanan beberapa hari, Raja dan Penjelajah tiba di sebuah daerah yang panas dan gersang. Raja agak heran, karena dia tidak tahu ada daerah yang sekering ini di kerjaannya. Penjelajah sudah pernah mengunjungi tempat ini sebelumnya, jadi...
Beberapa hari yang lalu, aku sedang pulang dari sekolah luring, ketika di mobil diputar lagu dari grup musik The Alan Parsons Project (populer pada tahun 70an-80an). Aku jadi teringat, dulu, aku sering mengarang semacam cerita dari lagu-lagu ini....
Dulu, saat aku masih kecil, ada banyak sekali pohon tinggi di depan rumahku. Pohon-pohon ini tidak tahu jenisnya apa, tetapi sungguh menarik. Dedaunannya selalu berubah warna. Kadang hijau, oranye, kuning, merah, bahkan keunguan. Dari persepsiku...

Tiap hari, aku selalu bercerita kepada ibuku tentang mimpiku malam sebelumnya. Kadang Ibu sampai bosan mendengar kalimat ‘tadi malam aku mimpi…’.
