What Makes a Great Movie?

What are the ingredients to go into making a great movie?
*ngantri di deli, nungguin juru masak lagi bikin sandwich*

A catchy score
*pengamen jalanan lagi niup terompet*

A spectacular location
*jalan di antara pameran pesawat terbang*

Dramatic lighting
*jalan di bawah jembatan double-decker yang ditembus sinar matahari*

Compelling dialogues
*ngobrol sama tukang jualan makanan "But I know we're not here alone, it's gotta be something out there. It's definitely something out there. I've seen it"*

Love
*anak kecil lagi gendong bulldog*

Conflict
*tanda "OPEN" sama "CLOSE" dipasang bareng di pintu toko. orang latihan karate*

Mystery
*nemu sepasang sepatu tak bertuan di trotoar. tepuk tangan bareng-bareng sopir taksi sambil ngeluarin bunyi-bunyian lucu*

Drama
*nyamperin anjing kecil lucu, malah jadinya hampir digigit*

Witty one-liners
*nenek tua sambil nyetir nanya "How do I get to Carnegie Hall?" .. dijawab "You gotta practice, lady, you gotta practice"* (note: Carnegie Hall itu semacam gedung kesenian, jadi si nenek mau nanya arah, malah disuruh latihan biar bisa tampil di sana)

Special effects
*snow globe yang diguncang-guncang, jadi saljunya pada turun*

A chase sequence
*mobil lagi ngejar orang naik sepeda*

Clear direction
*ngikutin grafiti bergambar tanda panah gede bertulisan "ONE WAY"*

An underlined message
*berdiri di depan bioskop yang masang judul film cuma berupa huruf-huruf berantakan*

Something to shoot it with ..
*mamerin Nokia N93*

.. at a leading man
*nunjuk diri sendiri, terus mulai bergaya di depan lensa*

All the worlds are stage, and all the men and women merely players
*berdiri di tengah kerumunan orang-orang yang lagi jalan*

- NOW YOU CAN TELL YOUR STORIES IN DVD-LIKE QUALITY. NOKIA N93. THE NEXT STORY IN VIDEO.-

And cut!
*juru masak motong daging pake golok*

It is the best mobile phone ad I'd ever caught on television. Love, love Gary Oldman!
