The Movie : The Incredible Hulk

( Original Source : Wikipedia Encyclopedia )

The Incredible Hulk is a 2008 superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character the Hulk, which was released on June 13, 2008. It is directed by Louis Leterrier and stars Edward Norton as Dr. Bruce Banner / the Hulk, Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, William Hurt as General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross and Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky. The film follows Banner as he flees the pursuit of General Ross while attempting to find a cure to rid himself of the Hulk. When Blonsky personally volunteers to be injected with Banner's gamma formula to aid Ross in his capture, he becomes an even greater monster, and Banner must accept his inner beast to defeat Blonsky.

After the 2003 film Hulk, Marvel Studios reacquired the rights to the character, and writer Zak Penn began work on a loose sequel that would be much closer to the comics and the television series. Norton rewrote the script after he signed on to star, severing all ties to its predecessor by retelling the origin story in flashbacks and revelations, thereby establishing the film as a reboot. Leterrier's direction aimed to make the monsters look more realistic and frightening. He redesigned Blonsky's monstrous gamma-irradiated form — called the Abomination in the comics — from a reptilian humanoid into a mutated man with bony protrusions. Filming mostly took place in Toronto, Canada in 2007, where the production attempted to be environmentally friendly.

Bamboo (Bambu)

[English]
Why I talking about bamboo which is just a plant without flowers and fruits? In the ‘bamboo’ we’ll found a good attitude where we can follows. Yes… bamboo growth in a group, high, without flowers and fruits. But Bamboo has calm attitude and ‘heavy’ also growth straight and not unstraight.

Bamboo are calm, not swing of branches except by wind, but noisy only and then calm again. Bamboo always self confident, no need aplausing or praising or reproach where can make bamboo nervous, panic or going anywhere.. Bamboo still calm cause its root is strenght. This is important, because its root is strength. Bamboo also still growth straight and not unstraight. Try to unstraight bamboo ? never. Bamboo didn’t influence by everyone if everyone will change it.

Are we could be bamboo’s attitude which is no need to apalusing or praising and if we get reproaching we still calm and have self confident because the root is strength. And still growth high straight and not unstraight cause influence from outside. Hope…

Mengapa saya menceritakan bambu yang notabene merupakan tanaman yang tak berbunga dan tak berbuah ? di dalam tanaman bambu terdapat nilai – nilai moral yang dapat kita jadikan teladan. Ya….bambu tumbuh secara berkelompok, menjulang tinggi, tanpa bunga dan buah. Tapi bambu mempunyai sifat yang tenang dan berbobot serta tumbuhnya lurus, tidak ada yang bengkok.

Bambu cenderung tenang, tidak bergoyang kesana- sini, kecuali kalo ada angin, itupun hanya berbisik-bisik sesama bambu saja kemudian tenang kembali. Bambu selalu percaya diri. Bambu tidak butuh pujian-pujian atau celaan-celaan yang akan membuat bambu kurang percaya diri, panik atau kesana kemari. Bambu tetap tenang karena akarnya kuat. Ini yang terpenting, akarnya kuat. Bambu juga tetap tumbuh lurus tidak bengkok. Coba bengkokkan bambu ? tidak akan bisa. Bambu tidak terpengaruh oleh siapapun jika ada yang akan mempengaruhi dari luar.

Apakah kita bisa seperti sifat bambu yang tidak butuh pujian dan jika dicela kita tetap tenang dan percaya diri karena akar atau dasar kita kuat. Dan tetap tumbuh lurus menjulang tinggi dan tidak ada yang bengkok akibat pengaruh dari luar……
Semoga......
