Bismillah

Barusan maen futsal bareng anak-anak. Ternyata Arif sama Pras Gon dateng dari Jakarta. Mungkin karena libur kerja kali ya? Selamat datang..

Teknikku sih masih ada lah dikit-dikit.. warisan leluhur. (maksud loh?) Cuma stamina ndak dukung oy, ngos-ngosan walau cuma jadi bek (beking pokal maksudnya?). Itupun udah jam 9.20 baru dateng. Ya sudahlah, mungkin nasib saya bukan jadi pemaen putsal (dasar ndak punya masa depan cerah).

Anak-anak udah pada tahu kalo aku benci nyang sosial-sosial seperti ini, makanya biasanya udah pada nyerah kalo ngajakin. Namun, berhubung hari ini kalo aku di kos malah jadi gak produktif (hla? Emang situ pernah produktif?), akhirnya berangkat juga. Ntar kalo ada mputsal lagi, aku diajakin ya teman-teman?

PS: ternyata kegiatan sosial ituh menyenangkan. *pengen murtad dari introversi*

Bismillah

SORRY, this story may contain SPOILER…..

Lord of War is about a man named Yuri Orlov (Nicholas Cage). Together with Vitaly, his young brother, Yuri started selling Uzis to the mobs. And since then, he became the lord of war: an arms dealer. He sells guns, grenades, tanks, everything that kills people, to everyone who pays, even to his own country’s war.

Yuri has an..err a bunch of enemies. One of them is Jack Valentine, an interpol agent who cannot be bought with money. Jack pursued Yuri and he thinks that a guy like Yuri is supposed to be in jail. But, Jack always failed to get Yuri to the courthouse.

After being paid by cocaine, Vitaly became addicted. So Yuri sent his brother to the rehabilitation and started the business alone. When he asked Simon Weisz, another guns dealer, to collaborate, Weisz’s rejected. Weisz said that Yuri’s an amateur. Long time after the incident, it happens again, but with swapped role.

Yuri loves Ava Fontaine, a super model. “You cannot force someone to fall in love with you, but you can definitely improve your odds,” he said. He invited Ava to a fake photo session, booked the entire hotel for himself, rent a jet plane (Yuri paid a man to paint “ORLOV” on it), and got Ava’s impressed. After that, they married and had a child named Nikolai.

Yuri went to Ukraine, his country, after Soviet Union dissolved. You know, the war ends. But the guns? They stayed in the warehouse calmly. Yuri contacted his uncle, Dimitri, and got a lot of weapons in low price. He became a millionaire afterwards. He’s selling weapons to Andre Baptiste, a dictator from Liberia.

Meanwhile, Jack tried to convince Ava that Yuri is an arms dealer. He said that the death of Ava’s parents may be because of a guy like her husband. Ava started tailing Yuri, and found Yuri’s container that filled with proof of Yuri’s arms dealing: passport, guns, case, even Ava’s painting.

Yuri needs a partner because Andre offered a great deal. Then Yuri asked Vitaly to join him. The transaction process was intercepted by Vitaly when he saw some guys kill a mother and her child. Vitaly told Yuri to stop the deal, but Yuri said that it’s not their conflict.

Vitaly stayed calm, but quietly he took a grenade and blew one truck contained the weapons. Realize that Vitaly’s going to blow another one, Andre’s soldier shot Vitaly and brought him meet his death. Yuri took his brother’s dead body home, but he’s arrested because there is one bullet remains in Vitaly’s body, Yuri’s bullet.

Jack Valentine finally got Yuri. But, in the end Yuri’s released by an officer (with a lot of ranks), and he returns to the arms dealing. “Do you know who will inherit the world? Arms dealer. Because everyone else is too busy killing each other”. This story is based on actual event. Did you read KOMPAS 2-3 days ago?
