"Please, come inside," the teacher bids. "Take a kursi and make yourself comfortable." The teacher is an old woman. Very old. Time has made its mark on her face, but she continues to do her part as one of the school faculty.
A short, beautiful woman steps through the door of the classroom, and she takes a lounging kursi at one of the round tables. Her colorful eyes don't wander. She stays still and awaits what the teacher has to say regarding her daughter's behavior.
"As anda may know," the older woman begins, "your daughter is very advanced. Her membaca scores are exemplary, and her grades are off the charts. She's not in any trouble whatsoever."
The younger woman nods as if she's an experienced pastor hearing the Word of God for the nth time. "Yes, I know she's very bright. She's always been that way, even when she was little."
"And I do not doubt that," the teacher replies, sitting down at the meja alongside her to rest her weary legs. "But there are a few things that I would like to bring to attention. The reason I called this meeting is because your daughter... How shall I put this? Your daughter is very...far gone. And what I mean oleh that is she doesn't seem to register things that I say right away. She doesn't associate herself with the other students. In fact, all she does is read. I'm beginning to feel like she's purposely isolating herself from the other children. During recess, all she does is sit at the meja and read books. And during class, I'll call on her, but it would appear to me as if she's in another world entirely... I'm just wondering what your input would be since you're her mother. Is this normal for her?"
The woman nods with understanding. She's fully aware of her daughter's tendencies.
"Jordan is very introverted. She hasn't had any friends for years now, and it's been bothering me for a while. I don't know if it's because she's shy atau if it's because she doesn't want to socialize at all, but I know that it is a problem."
"Right," the teacher agrees. "I don't want to single her out atau anything, but it also seems to me like she...can't relate to the other students. When I look into her eyes, I see...nothing. anda know that look anda get when you're daydreaming? When your eyes look completely blank? She looks like that...all the time, especially in class."
"She's definitely not like other girls," the mother remarks, casting her gaze aside. "When she was a baby, she used to stare off into nothing. Her face would go completely blank. She wouldn't tampil an ounce of emotion. I would have to snap my fingers in her face and call her name over and over again before she'd look at me and say, 'Yes, Mom?' She still does that. She hasn't changed. She's always had a very strong imagination, always playing games and pretending to live in these worlds of hers."
The teacher nods, pulling out a clean sheet of white paper and laying it down on the table. "She demonstrates that kind of behavior in class every day, I'm afraid. It's becoming a concern of my own, not because she's doing badly in school. She's a perfect student. I'm just afraid she doesn't have the motivation to socialize with other kids. It's a life skill that everyone needs to learn early in order to work well with others in the future. anda understand?"
"That makes sense," the mother agrees.
"How do anda suggest we fix the problem?"
She lets the words sink in. "Well, I don't know," she says after a long while.
"I was thinking that maybe...and only with your approval, of course...we could prohibit her membaca habits at school. She can read at home, but she can't read at school. If she can't read at school, that may give her the incentive she needs to start talking to kids her age."
"That's a good idea," the mother says with a slight smile. "She's not going to like it, but I'll make sure she doesn't take any buku to school from now on."
"I'm glad we could have this discussion," the teacher komentar with gratitude. "You're definitely right when anda say she's different. She's very different. Sometimes, when she stares off into luar angkasa and her eyes go somewhere else, I wonder...what she sees."
...
I've always known I'm a little different, a little carefree, a little out there, and perhaps a little insane. But I've always known that during those spontaneous times of insanity, I find joy. Let's start when I was little.
When I was a child, I grew up on buku and movies. My mother got me membaca at a very early age, and I learned to read before other children did. I wasn't brought up on that silly "Your Baby Can Read" program.
No, my mother taught me how to read all on her own. She introduced many stories to me, stories depicting funny Dr. Seuss scenarios and other anecdotes. I was in cinta with fairy tales, anda see. They always had something intriguing about them. The characters, oftentimes, would get themselves in a tricky atau even scary situation in which their lives atau someone else's were put at risk. I fell in cinta with these gruesome stories, and from then on, I could not bring myself to go a hari without membaca some sort of story.
buku have helped to expand my imagination, and they played a major role in my childhood. They also take some of the credit for making me the chimerical person I am today.
I was a bookworm when I was a child, and many of my teachers took this into account. All my life, I've been complimented for my use of advanced vocabulary and diction. I've won many awards for being an "honorable student," and I owe it to the buku and film of my childhood; for they play a larger part in my intelligence than most people would think.
However, I was also treated as an outcast. I still am. I'm the quiet girl in the corner of the classroom that does nothing but draw and stay silent. Girls stay away from me. I don't know why. It's not like I have a problem with talking to people. I'm not shy. Girls just don't like me. Ever since middle school, it's been that way, so I've let my mind run free. I am no longer troubled with having no friends. In fact, I am quite accustomed to it. I owe it to buku for giving me the courage to keep my head up despite the fact that I have absolutely no social life.
Soon after I discovered the world of books, I found the world of film. Movies.
disney Classics were what I lived off of. That's right. The Little Mermaid. Beauty and the Beast. The Jungle Book. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Aladdin. Mulan. Hercules. Pinocchio. Dumbo. Cinderella. Robin Hood. Sleeping Beauty. Lady and the Tramp. Peter Pan. The rubah, fox and the Hound. All of them. I grew up on all of them, bernyanyi and dancing to the songs in the living room of my house when I was just a toddler.
All of those film contributed to my imagination and everything it has become.
The stories entailed a change in my behavior. I began role-playing my favorit characters.
Every day, I would enact personas atau scenes from my favorit buku and movies. I found the stories so interesting, in fact, that I began to live in them. I would make my sister act like certain characters for me so I had someone to interact with while role-playing. She was younger than me, of course, so she found it difficult at first.
I had to yell at her to act the scene out correctly, atau we'd have to start all over again. I used stuffed binatang as props, and I even used them as characters.
For instance, I would watch a scene that grabbed my attention, and then I'd use my stuffed binatang to play the characters, making them talk and pindah the way the characters did in the film. I enjoyed re-enacting every little thing I saw. The activity stimulated my desire to create, to be a story-teller of some regard.
I remember the first time I ever went to the movie theater. My Grandma Lorraine took me to see Mulan for the first time. I was reluctant. Before entering the theater, we had gone into the disney Store, and dammit, I did NOT want to leave.
My grandma had to practically drag me out of there in order for us to make it to the movie in time. I began crying. I didn't want to leave that store. I was having far too much fun for my 5-year-old mind to handle.
When we got inside the auditorium, my grandma tried to make me sit in the chair selanjutnya to her, but I wasn't having it. I pouted on the floor. I couldn't get the disney Store out of my head. I thought it was so unfair that she dragged me out of my fun zone just to sit in a dark room with a giant televisi screen that wasn't even tampilkan any cartoons.
Eventually, the trailers began to play...and I got a little interested....but no! I was still too mad at my grandma to comply with her decision to bring me there. So I continued to pout. I pouted all through the trailers...
But then the musik began to play. I heard a change of atmosphere, a change that I could recognize.
I peeked over the puncak, atas of the chairs to get a look at the screen, and I couldn't believe my eyes. It was the biggest screen I'd ever laid eyes on. Mulan was just starting, and I could see the Great dinding of China. I could hear the sound of the Huns as they screamed their battle cry, and my attention was instantly grabbed.
I got up with a handful of jagung meletus, popcorn in my fist and climbed onto the chair selanjutnya to my grandma. From then on, I was in cinta - deeply in love. And after the movie, I begged my grandma to promise to take me there again someday.
Today, my grandma and I go to see a movie at the theater almost every weekend.
I fell in cinta with even lebih movies, especially the ones oleh Tim Burton. He was my childhood hero, really, even though I didn't know his name at the time.
Beetlejuice and The Nightmare Before Christmas were my favorites. I also loved other old films like Hocus Pocus, Monsters, Inc., Space Jam (because Bugs Bunny was my favorit cartoon character at the time), Jumanji, Jurassic Park (I LOVED dinosaurs), Toy Story, and a million others. They became my life source. I mostly loved the films that had a great soundtrack. Even then, I was madly in cinta with musik - movie musik to be lebih precise.
Years later, I went through another bookworm stage. I fell in cinta with the Redwall Saga written oleh Brian Jacques. He still is my favorit penulis of all time. He contributed to changing my life as well. He showed me what it's like to be a hero, and he also showed me what true legends are made of.
Speaking of heroes, I must say that the hero of the story has always been my favorit character. The leader. anda can always bet that my favorit character in any diberikan story is the leader. Hands down. I've always considered myself a leader, not a follower. I look up to the leaders of movies, because they're strong and they're courageous and they're admired oleh their peers. Dazzling. Significant. They're often the most important characters, and they're the first ones I choose when it comes to role-playing.
However, one thing that's always baffled me is the feeling I get when the hero falls. When I was little, I used to rewind and rewind and rewind the most intense scene of the film, and the most intense scenes were often the ones that depicted the hero as weak before his atau her adversary. For example, let's think of A Bug's Life. Near the end, Flick stands up to Hopper before the entire colony of ants. Hopper isn't impressed when Flick makes a stand, so he has Flick beaten, and then he threatens to kill him.
Those kind of scenes, the ones that highlight the hero in some way, are the most powerful scenes in the history of film-making. It's when your emotions are flying high. It's when anda are on the edge. of. your. seat. It's when anda get goosebumps all over your arms, and it's when the musik is flooding the theater, causing emotions to swell until anda either cry atau hold your breath in anticipation. I am addicted to those scenes. I cannot tell anda how powerful those scenes are in my eyes.
Because after the hardship, the hero still manages to win...sometimes with a consequence. Stories like those are truly amazing to me, and that is why whenever I create a story, there is always a scene in which the hero is highlighted negatively atau positively. The hero is always highlighted. Always. That's what those disney Classics taught me. I learned a lot about the structure of stories from those films. They gave me the building blocks, the stepping stones to become the kind of director I am destined to be.
I know that I am different, but I know I am not alone. Tim Burton. Steven Spielberg. Stephen King. Michael Bay. Peter Jackson. Quentin Tarantino. James Cameron. J. J. Abrams. Gore Verbinski. Zack Snyder. They are ALL...like me. We, directors, see the world very, very differently than the commonplace person. We are artists of a different species. I'd like to say our eyes are camera lenses. When I switch my brain off and just let my imagination go...I see things that people would never imagine.
The video that I make are not anything like the actual scenes I see inside my head, and the only way I can tampil people what I see...is through film-making. That's why I want to be a director. I want to display MY VISIONS on the big screen for the whole world to see.
I want to share my inspirations, my dreams with the people that are like me. I am lebih than in cinta with movies. I am PASSIONATE about them.
As anda can see, ever since I was little, I have been PASSIONATE about film.
Movies.
Film-making.
Cinematography.
Story-telling.
Emotion.
I want to get my emotion, my stories ON the screen. I want to make people see the things I see. I want them to feel the things I feel. I want to tampil them what film-making is all about. Film takes anda on an adventure. It takes anda to places anda can only go to in your dreams. It shows anda a whole other world of creativity.
It shows anda what legends are made of. Film makes anda cry. Film makes anda laugh. Film makes anda scream. Film makes anda jump. Film fills anda with terror. Film gives anda goosebumps. Film demands a deeper insight. Film requires anda to look into yourself to see what anda find there.
I thought I was going to be a writer, but I couldn't have been lebih wrong.
When I write, I know that people don't see the picture I'm describing the way I want them to. I know that pictures described in menulis are supposed to be interpreted oleh the reader, but I DON'T WANT THAT.
I want my audience to see what I see. I want them to see the picture I see in my head EXACTLY for what it is, and I know that they cannot see it through writing. They can only see it through film.
I've seen terrible movies. Not all of them are amazing. I'll admit that. There are terrible film out there, but there are also amazing ones. The Corpse Bride. Coraline. Avatar. 9. Jurassic Park. MANY MORE. anda really have to admire the amount of work these people put into film-making. Tim burton worked FOREVER on The Nightmare Before Christmas, and the finished product is a phenomenon!
Romance. Horror. Sci-fi. Fantasy. Comedy. Non-fiction. Fiction. I'm not picky when it comes to film (unless of course it is a film that I feel is trying too hard to be funny atau dramatic atau something like that).
film are a work of art, and I intend to tampil everyone what I'm capable of when I am older.
I am an aspiring film-maker. My dream is to make movies. I may not get there right away, but I'm going to keep fighting until I reach my dream. Unless God has something else planned for my life, I WILL become a film director, and I will not let anybody get in my way.
When I eventually become a director, my only goal will be to entertain the audience. I am not aiming for my film to be #1 in the box office every time. I am not aiming for my film to be the biggest money-maker out there. That's not my goal. I want my audience to walk out of the theater with something lebih than when they walked in.
I want to teach my audience moral lessons. I want to fill their minds to the brim with imagination and creativity. I want my audience to discover the same feeling I felt all those years yang lalu as a child when I first discovered the magic of film-making. It's not about the money, and it's not about the fame. It's about the audience, and it's about the story on the screen. That's it. Those are my highest priorities, and they will remain my highest priorities. I will not let the movie industry corrupt my mind. With God's help and blessing, I shall do the things I say I will do. I can't do this without Him.
I don't know where life is taking me, but one thing is for sure: I am a director at heart. My eyes, the lenses. And I am going to make one damn good show.
