Waaa.... akhirnya, jagoan favoritku difilmkan juga... sama si Steven Spielberg pula! Bisa ditebak filmnya: seru, agak kocak... dan yang jelas menghibur. Kayaknya perlu mempopulerkan gaya rambut Tintin lagi neh....
I remembered the 1st time I read Tintin's comic book. It was on my 7th birthday in 1988. My Balinese aunt just come home from Paris and she gave me "Tintin in America" as a birthday present. The comic was hard covered and well-written in French! Luckily it was a comic book. So, I manage to know the main story anyway.
Aunty: Happy 7th years! Here's a gift for you... a French-written comic book!
Me: Oh, thank you aunty. Now, what i've gotta do is just figure it out with my never-before-reading-french-brain by looking only at the bright colorful pictures.
(after reading, well, looking at several pages)
Aunty: So, is it good? What is it said?
Me: Not so fast, aunty. It's not like when I do calculus and calculating the solar movement on my spare time.... Who do you think I am? A genius?! Geez....
So, I beg her to read it for me. And she did read it for me... in French!
Me: Hmm... oooooohh... mmmm.... is he?.... oh, he is?
Aunty:............................. et fin! Good story isn't it?
Me: Hmm... oooooohh... mmmm.... is he?.... oh, he is?
I soon found out that she was just teasing me when she gave me another "Tintin in America". This time in Indonesian!
It started a point where I devoted myself to this guy's adventure. I had a full collection of them... from "Tintin in Russia" to "Tintin and The Picaros" some of them even on English and French! Journalist became my dream job for the future.... I once had a dog named Milou.. I even had a Tintin's haircut once.... Tintin has become my hero!
Then, what should I do in his 75th birthday?
- Making 10-cent euro coin? Done.
- Making Tintin movies? In progress.
- Completing the collection? It's already completed, moron!
Well, I guess I just have to enjoy the show, and wait for the movie!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TINTIN, and MILOU!
