Dina's Journal

Hola!

Mau update blog tapi nggak tahu mau nulis apa. Saking banyaknya kisah yang sudah terlewat lol. Life, work, marriage, relationships, feelings, self-development (ah ya, saya lagi tertarik dengan topik ini). Berhubung lagi bersihin bookmarks Chrome, nemu quote Good Will Hunting. Saya taruh di akhir postingan ini yaa.

Good Will Hunting, lupa lupa inget film tentang apa. Matt Damon yang nulis script sekaligus pemainnya. Duet sama sahabatnya, Ben Affleck. Kalau ga salah, tentang Will, orang jenius yang karena dia hidup sebagai kelas pekerja, orang2 pada awalnya meremehkannya. Hingga akhirnya dia ketemu mentor, seorang professor gitu. Konflik dengan sahabatnya, Ben Affleck and the genk. Dan Will yang socially awkward ini juga punya masalah percintaan. Doi menolak jadi vulnerable because of love. Semacam itu lah.

 “Sometimes I wish I had never met you, because then I could go to sleep at night not knowing there was someone like you out there.” 
― Gus Van Sant, Good Will Hunting

Hi. Drinking lunch on a school day?  That's a nice surprise.  Are you nervous about tomorrow night?

-- Not really, no.

Well, um, are you going to talk to me or should I get my paper out?

-- No, no, I'm going to talk to you.

Right.  What are you going to talk to me about?

-- I'm going to talk to you about whether or not you want to get married to me.

(laughing)

--I'm serious.

Yes, I know.

-- Well, thanks a freakin' bunch!

I'm sorry, but two days ago you were making tapes for that girl from the Reader.

-- Yeah.

Well forgive me if I don't think of you as the world's safest bet.

-- Would you marry me if I was?

What brought all this on?

-- I don't know.  I'm just sick of thinking about it all the time.

About what?

-- This stuff.  Love and settling down and marriage you know - I wanna think about something else.

I changed my mind.  That's the most romantic thing I've ever heard.  I do.  I will.

-- Just shut up, please, I'm trying to explain, okay?  That other girl, or other women, whatever, I was thinking that they're just fantasies, you know, and they always seem really great because they're never any problems, and if there are they're cute problems like we bought each other the same Christmas present or she wants to go see a movie I've already seen, you know?  And then I come home and you and I have real problems and you don't want to see the movie I wanna see, period.  There's no lingerie...

-- I have lingerie!

Yes you do.  You have great lingerie but you also have cotton underwear that's been washed a thousand times and its hanging on the thing and ... and they have it too just I don't have to see it because it's not the fantasy ... do you understand?  I'm tired of the fantasy because it doesn't really exist and there are never really any surprises and it never really...

-- Delivers?

Delivers.  Right.  And I'm tired of it and I'm tired of everything else for that matter but you'll never see me get tired of you ... so ...

-- I think I know what you mean, but were you really expecting me to say yes?

I don't know.  I didn't think about it, really.  I thought asking was the important part.

-- Well, you asked.  Thank you.

in your twenties you dress for men, in your forties you dress for success, in your eighties you dress for a bathroom. 

Sara: What do you have against relationships?
Ben: Uhm. Expensive. Boring. Brunch. Feelings. Responsibility. Conversations. Her parents. Sex and the City DVDs.
Sara: I get it.
Ben: Hiding your porn. Ski trips. Getting fat. Remembering her birthday. Game night.
Sara: Ben, stop…
Ben: Sample sales. Questions during football games. Passive aggressive news article clippings…

Ever since the Sherlock series 2 finale fans have been speculating how the master detective pulled off one of his most impressive feats yet. We think we’ve got the answer.

HOW DID SHERLOCK ESCAPE DEATH?

We all saw him jump, but there’s little doubt that he’s alive by the end of the episode, watching Watson mourn his passing at his own funeral. So how did he Sherlock survive the Reichenbach Fall?

Before we look at the possible explanation, let’s quickly go over some less likely alternatives:

1. Watson thought he saw Sherlock fall to his death because the clever detective administered him with the fear toxin from the secret research base in “The Hounds Of Baskervilles.”

2. Sherlock didn’t jump at all and instead threw Moriarty’s ‘dead’ body from the roof, where it was switched with a Sherlock lookalike after hitting the ground. This would involve the help of Molly, Mycroft or the Homeless Network.



Now here’s what we think happened:

•    Before meeting Moriarty on the roof, we see Sherlock ask Molly for her help.


•    Being a medical professional, she would be able to help falsify his death, especially if Mycroft is also in on the ruse.

 

Sherlock, who seems genuinely shocked by Moriarty’s ‘suicude’, puts his plan into action. We believe it could well consist of the following steps:

•    He gives an emotional goodbye to Watson so that the good doctor believes Sherlock is going to jump to his death — essentially planting an unkillable idea in his mind (a concept foreshadowed earlier in the episode).

•    He ensures that Watson stands a certain distance away from thee building, so that he doesn’t make it to the landing spot in time to see everything.

•    Sherlock jumps from the building onto a pre-arranged truck (above) filled with ‘rubbish bags’ (presumably containing something to break his fall).

•    Molly/Mycroft then apply blood to his face before he lies down on the ground, the truck still obscuring the full extent of the ruse.

•    While this is happening (remember, we’re dealing with seconds here), a biker hired by Sherlock intentionally bumps into Watson, knocking him to the ground where he hits his head and becomes disorientated — his narrative is now unreliable, as he’s missed at least a 5-10 seconds. That’s all Sherlock needs.

 

•    The truck conveniently drives away with Molly/Mycroft having performed their part of the ruse.

•    Disorientated, Watson makes his way over to Sherlock’s ‘dead body’, where a crowd of Sherlock-arranged passers by (The Homeless Network) have already gathered.

•    The combination of the crowd’s reaction and Watson’s disorientation means he doesn’t perform a proper check for Sherlock’s pulse and succumbs to the unkillable idea that Sherlock is dead.

•    Sherlock is carted away extremely quickly by ‘paramedics’ hired by Sherlock (Molly/Mycroft would be able to falsify his death report).

•    Watson, and crucially, the assassins, believe that Sherlock is dead.

 

But of course, he isn’t dead — just his legend (for now)..

There’s some wiggle-room in there for Sherlock to have been carried away in the truck after making the jump, with Molly/Mycroft rolling a dead corpse onto the ground where he would have landed. This corpse would presumably be the Sherlock lookalike that Moriarty hired to kidnap the kids, or someone altered to look like Sherlock, of which there’s already a precedent when Irene Adler faked her death by using a body double, so it’s not impossible that Sherlock could have done something similar, with the aid of Molly/Mycroft.

Whether there was any of that fear toxin used within this ruse is up for debate. I’m not sure it’s necessary, but it could have been used on Watson and/or the assassins to further fool/distract them.

I also think it’s important to note that even at the funeral, Watson has a nagging belief (hope) that Sherlock isn’t dead. Perhaps in the subconscious recesses of his mind the actual narrative of events is trying to break through?

Now, all of that could be way off the mark, and we accept that one or two aspects of the explanation might be a bit of a reach. We also recognize that there are one or two other curious moments that might come into play (Sherlock throwing his phone on the roof before jumping, Moriarty’s supposed suicide, etc), so there’s plenty of room for anyone to refute or build on this possible explanation. In the meantime, what a cracking finale it was, eh?

Ryan : Er...Kara mentioned that you were having some thoughts.

Jim : I don't think I'm going to be able to er... to do this.

Ryan : Why would you say that...today?

Jim : Well, last night I was kinda laying in bed and I couldn't get to sleep. So I started thinking about the wedding and the ceremony, and about our buying a house and moving in together. And having a kid, and having another kid and then Christmas and Thanksgiving and spring break. Going to football games, and then all of a sudden they're graduating. They're getting jobs, getting married. And, you know, I'm a grandparent. And then I'm retired. I'm losing my hair, I'm getting fat. And then the next thing you know I'm dead. I'm just, like...I can't stop from thinking, what's the point? I mean, what is the point?

Ryan : The point?

Jim : What am I starting here?

Ryan : Jim, it's...marriage. It's one of the most beautiful things on earth. It's what people aspire to.

Jim : You never got married.

Ryan : That's true.

Jim : I mean, you never even tried.

Ryan : Well, it's hard to define try.

Jim : I don't know, just you seem happier than all my married friends.

Ryan : Look, Jim, I'm not going to lie to you. Marriage can be a pain in the ass. And you're right. This all is just stuff that leads to your eventual demise.

Jim : Yes.

Ryan : And we're all on running clocks. And they can't be slowed down or paused. And...we all end up in the same place.

Jim : yeah.

Ryan : There is no point.

Jim : There is no point. That's what I'm saying.

Ryan : You know, er... I'm not normally the guy you would talk to about stuff like this. If you think about it... your favourite memories, the most important moments in your life. Were you alone?

Jim : No, I guess not.

Ryan : Come to think of it, last night, the night before your wedding when all this shit is swirling around in your head, weren't you guys in separate bedrooms?

Jim : Yeah, Julie went back to the apartment and I was just by myself in the honeymoon suite.

Ryan : Kinda lonely, huh?

Jim : Yes, it was pretty lonely.

Ryan : Life's better with company.

Jim : Yeah...

Ryan : Everybody needs a co-pilot.
