For the first time in the studio’s history, Marvel Studios released three brand new films in 2017. They kicked things off
with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in May, followed by the Sony-distributed Spider-Man: Homecoming in July, and
now the third and final (and best?) Has hit theaters: Thor: Ragnarok.

The Thor franchise has been something of a red-headed stepchild in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but director Taika
Waititi’s silly, euphorically joyous third installment is a Thor-series high and has earned some of the best reviews of any
Marvel Studios movie in history.

While the subtitle promises an Asgard-ending catastrophic event, Waititi opted to put a spotlight on Chris Hemsworth’s
comedic chops and essentially reinvent the character as a hilarious, self-aware yet cocksure God of Thunder who just
wants to save his home planet. The result is an incredibly fun ride that leans into the chemistry between Hemsworth and
Mark Ruffalo, as well as Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston. For that matter, it is great to have Loki back in the MCU, and
the film does a tremendous job of weaving the story of the villain Hela (Cate Blanchett) into the story of Thor and Loki in
an organic way.

Some may be dismayed at Blanchett’s underuse, but I think she knew exactly what she signed up for: to chew the scenery
and look great doing it. In that regard, I think Hela is a successful if not terribly deep Marvel villain. But the breakout of
the film is surely Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, from whom I hope we see a lot more in the MCU to come.

1. How many films have Marvel Studios released in 2017 D. That Thor: Ragnarok has hit the theatre already.

B. Mark Ruffalo. E. Tom Hiddleston. C. Funny
C. Cate Blanchet.

3. What is considered by the reviewer as the breakout of “ … but I think she knew exactly …”

Habibie & Ainun tells the love story of the third president of Indonesia, Bacharuddin Jusuf habibie and his wife, Ainun
Habibie. The story flows very smoothly with the climax being his rising career as Research and Technology Minister to
the Vice Presidency later to the Presidency after the nation’s reformation in 1998, followed by Ainun’s health
deterioration which caused her death. The saddest part was when Ibu Ainun could not cope with several surgeries to
remove her ovarian cancer that had spread out through her body. What would you call a pure, real, and eternal love of a
man? His description about love, which I could not imagine, is repeated in this book quite often. The author tells that their
struggles for Ainun’s recovery in several sanitariums in Europe were romantic memories they shared.

There are thirty seven chapters in the book. The first to fifteenth chapters are very easy to follow. However, the hardest
part comprises the chapter when Habibie explains the technicalities of projects and achievements in his restless work
during his attachment to the Development Cabinet (in chapter 17 to 30). I had to read several times to understand his
thinking, but I found it very interesting. I am quite impressed by Habibie’s writing style. He positions himself as the
subject as if he was sitting in front of me while I was listening to him.
The book has now been translated into English, Dutch, and German, and shortly will be in Japanese. The moral of the
story emphasizes that it is very important to focus on our life’s goals. Be passionate about what we do, and love our
country, and that support from family and true eternal love is important. All in all, Habibie-Ainun’s love story is more
romantic that Romeo-Juliet’s love story. The tale of Romeo and Juliet was fictional, but habibie and Ainun’s story is real.
