"The Art of Getting By" Movie (Soundtrack List)

Film indie ini cukup menarik, bercerita tentang seorang siswa yang introvert, malas mengerjakan tugas, sehingga sering mendapatkan teguran dari guru maupun kepala sekolahnya (Ouch, that was so me teens). Diperankan oleh Freddie Highmore (the august rush) dan Emma Roberts. Pada awalnya, film ini ditayangkan dengan judul Homework pada Sundance Film Festival 2011 (FYI,Sundance film festival merupakan suatu festival film bergengsi di AS).

Anyway, besides the story that shows the life of a misanthrope-cute-slacker, I also really enjoy the music. We can say that too much indie here. The soundtrack list below are so d*mn cool.

Berikut daftar lagu dari album soundtrack film The Art of Getting By :

1. We Will Become Silhouettes - The Shins
2. We Drink on the Job - Earlimart
3. Sally’s Theme - Alex Puro
4. Sleep the Clock Around - Mates of State
5. This Momentary - Delphic
6. Christmas Break - Alec Puro
7. Winter Lady - Leonard Cohen
8. The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
9. Sally’s Bedroom - Alec Puro
10. Spitting Fire - The Boxer Rebellion
11. Here - Pavement
12. The Trial of the Century - French Kicks

Dengan didukung musik yang bagus, ni film menjadi tidak hanya sekedar film anak remaja sekolahan pada umumnya yang biasa saja (even the tweens can enjoy this movie,lol). Dari 12 lagu di atas, yang paling aku suka tentu karyanya Alec Puro, but the others, such as French Kicks and Pavement, are still cool anyway. Selamat menonton, selamat menikmati musiknya.

:::Here below are some quotes taken from the movie:::

“I’m kind of a misanthrope. Not out of choice, just a fact.”
— Freddie Highmore as George (The Art of Getting By)

“There are so many other important things to think about that homework really seems like an afterthought.”
— Freddie Highmore as George (The Art of Getting By)

The conversation below is between George and his teacher when she asks George to submit his homework.

- Teacher: Do you have your work George?
>>>George: No.
- Teacher: Why not?
>>>George: I was... depressed.
- Teacher: Oh, yes? Why was that?
>>>George: Because, uh... I realized I'm gonna die one day.
- Teacher: We're all gonna die one day, George. I don't think that's a reasonable excuse for not completing your trigonometry exercise.
>>>George: I... I was trying to. I just couldn't shake this awareness of my mortality. Everything seemed meaningless...including the assignment, unfortunately.
