Menunggu Tuhan

Lets give comments 'bout this film: The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. I watched that movie for twice! (first with Anton, then with my sisters). Nggak terlalu bagus, but still yah.. has some good messages..

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

Well, honestly I'm a bit disappointed to this film. I read the original story which based on the book by C.S. Lewis. And, as usual..the story between book and film will never be the same. That's why I hate to watch movie which based on the book! Selalu ada beberapa variasi, penambahan dan pengurangan, and sometimes it will change the bookwriter's message. As I remember, there's no love story between Caspian and Susan! Dan aku paling benci sama cerita cinta yang dipaksakan! Dasar Hollywood! Nggak puas kalo nggak ada cinta-cintaan. And the battle..well...it's rather different with the book. Memang sih, aku nggak terlalu ingat lagi cerita di bukunya (well, I read it about two years ago). Tapi seingatku, the single combat between Peter and Miraz happen after The Pevensies meet Aslan.

Overall, this movie still has some good messages for me, Christian message I mean. Beberapa adegan dan dialog di film masih menggambarkan nilai-nilai Kristen. Bagaimanapun C.S. Lewis kan memang mengarang seri Narnia dengan muatan Kristiani yang kental.

Remember when Lucy said, "You all think that we only have two choice, die here, or die there." Yah intinya gitulah, nggak persis sih ^^ Sadar nggak sih, kalau kita sering juga berpikir begitu? Waktu kita menghadapi masalah, dalam pikiran manusiawi kita, seakan-akan kita cuma punya dua pilihan. Usaha begini, hasilnya begitu. Usaha begitu, hasilnya begini. Then we forget to seek God's will and plan. We often say, "We've waited too long for Aslan (God)", as Peter said. We also often say, "I think it's now depend on us", also as Peter said. Seperti kita kan? We often lost our faith in God..when God seems do nothing. Then, kita bertindak sendiri, berdasarkan akal kita sendiri. Kita berpikir dengan cara kita sendiri. Pasti orang-orang Narnia berharap Aslan datang dan mengaum, membuat keajaiban, dan mereka menang. Ketika Aslan nggak kunjung datang, mereka nggak sabar menunggu terlalu lama. Lalu mereka berpikir dengan akal mereka sendiri...dan maju perang! And they totally defeated by the Telmarines.

Aku jadi ingat satu ayat Alkitab dari Yesaya 30:15
"Dengan bertobat dan tinggal diam kamu akan diselamatkan, dalam tinggal tenang dan percaya terletak kekuatanmu."

Jalan dan rencana Tuhan itu selalu sempurna dan terbaik. Apa salahnya diam dan menunggu sesuai rencana Tuhan, daripada bertindak sendiri dan salah total? Tuhan sebenarnya nggak pernah meninggalkan kita kok. Bahkan ketika Tuhan terlihat diam, Dia sedang bekerja!
