Georgiana’s life seems perfect. She’s beautiful, smart, charming, and she is the Duchess of Devonshire

Tapi suatu malam setelah pesta, ia menemukan seorang pelayan wanita keluar dari kamar tidurnya – sorry – naked, dan di dalam kamar itu ada suaminya sendiri, Duke of Devonshire, yang bersikap seolah ga ada yang salah

Next day, datang anak kecil bernama Charlotte yang ibunya baru saja meninggal, dan merupakan anak dari suaminya

Things get more complicated karena Georgina ga juga melahirkan anak laki laki. Lalu dia ketemu Bess, yang menjadi temennya. Dan Duke mengizinkan Bess tinggal di rumah mereka di Devonshire. In what intentions?

I love the story. Bagus men. Twistnya oke, dan akting pemaennya bener bener bagus

Nonton ini rasanya bener bener bisa ngerasain penderitaan Georgina. Betapa dia tersiksa, stres, dan sakit hati. Dan betapa dia punya hidup amat sangat miris sekali. Ckck. Kapan dia bahagiaa? Keira Knightley is cool

Dan Ralph Fiennes bener bener oke maenin peran sebagai William, Duke of Devonshire. He is such a bastard, kind of man all woman would hates, and such a cold hearted person. Sepanjang film, aku sampe terus terusan ngerasani si William. What kind of man would do such things?

Oh omong omong kalo aku ga salah yang jadi Charles Gray pernah maen di film setipe judulnya Sense & Sensibility. Manis deh :3

Btw nonton film ini rasanya miris banget. Karena ini satu dari sedikit film yang nunjukkin kalo love can’t solve everything. Even there’s something love can’t conquer

Endingnya apalagi. Oke. Banget. Such a heartbreaking ending, though i’m not sobbing :p

Pesen yg gw tangkep dari film ini, show your biggest smile and act likes everyhting is okay though it isn’t.

Dan jangan mau dijodohin ama nyokap tanpa sepengetahuan kalian :p

Duke of Devonshire: This will be the mistake of your life.
Georgiana, The Duchess of Devonshire: No, I made that many years ago.

Lady Spencer: When one truly loves someone, one doesn’t have to know them well to be sure, Georgiana. One feels it right away.

Charles Grey: Is it always like this?
Bess Foster: Well, as they say, the Duke of Devonshire must be the only man in England not in love with his wife.

Georgiana, The Duchess of Devonshire: Do you think of me when we’re not together?
Charles Grey: You ought to know I do.
Georgiana, The Duchess of Devonshire: You hesitated before you replied.
Charles Grey: No, I’m unused to being asked so directly. And by you of all people. I think of you all the time. I always have.

The Damned United : They love me for what I’m not, they hate me for what I am

Director : Tom Hooper

Writer : Peter Morgan

Released on : March 2009

Casts : Michael Sheen, Timothy Spall, Colm Meaney

Brian Clough baru saja diterima menjadi manager first league top team, Leeds United, setelah ditinggalkan oleh manager sebelumnya, Don Revie, yang menjadi manager tim Inggris.

Tapi, Brian Clough punya masalah pribadi sama Don Revie. Dan bahkan sebelom dia memulai kerjanya di Leeds United, dia tampil di Yorkshire News, di mana dia dengan jelas menghujat Leeds United dan Don Revie

This time, Brian Clough must handle a team whom hate him, under Don Revie’s shadow, alone, without his best friend and assitant, Peter Taylor

What a nice movie. Ga nyesel nonton

Jalan ceritanya bagus, dan alurnya yang maju-mundur bikin film ini lebih misterius dan bikin penasaran. Cause we know what actually happens in the flashback, little by little. Buat yg udah ntn My Sister Keepers, bakal ngerasa kalo alurnya mirip, maju – mundur, tapi The Damned United lebih gampang dipahami soalnya ada tanggalnya :p

Ide ceritanya oke. Soalnya film tentang bola sering ada, tapi fokusnya pasti ke pemaennya. Sementara ini ke pelatihnya. Dan settingnya yang di England, negara pelopor sepak bola, juga bagus. Ditambah dengan aksen tokoh tokohnya yang catchy banget di telinga, bikin film ini cukup unforgettable

And don’t get it wrong. This isn’t a movie about football. It’s about a man, and how he struggle in the world of football. Tapi ya emang lumayan banyak adegan bolanya dan itu – I must admit – lumayan keren

And talking bout the ending, endingnya oke. Beda sama perkiraanku. Dan yes, it’s such a nice ending. One more thing to make this movie unforgettable

Oh btw di film ini f-words lumayan sering dipake. Buat yg ga suka misuh atau ga tahan denger orang misuh, ati ati aja. Bakal sering perlu tutup kuping, atau selesai nonton jadi suka misuh :p

Brian Clough: [to the assembled Leeds players] Well, I might as well tell you now. You lot may all be internationals and have won all the domestic honours there are to win under Don Revie. But as far as I’m concerned, the first thing you can do for me is to chuck all your medals and all your caps and all your pots and all your pans into the biggest fucking dustbin you can find, because you’ve never won any of them fairly. You’ve done it all by bloody cheating.

Brian Clough: If someone said I was wrong, we talk about it for 20 minutes and then we decide I was right.

Brian Clough: I wouldn’t say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one
