Now the Plagiarism of "One litre of Tears"

P.S Those who didn't watch this drama can ignore this post.
P.S.S Thanks cousin for the facts:)

Indonesian Production House SinemArt's drama, titled Buku Harian Nayla(Nayla's Diary), has been accused of plagiarizing 1 Litre of Tears. The series bears some striking resemblances, like the name "Aya" being replaced with "Nayla" (Chelsea Olivia) and Moses (Ralph Glenn Alinskie) in place of Asou. The series aired in RCTI as a special Christmas series. The scenario was supposedly written by Serena Luna.

The story is about a girl who was diagnosed with a disease called Ataxia when she was young. This serial gained national rating of 30.8% throughout Indonesian viewers. Due to overwhelming fans' responses, RCTI did re-runs at 4.30 PM every Monday and Friday, but, unlike the original run, the re-run cut its playtime into 30 minutes including commercials.

Indonesian fans of 1 Litre no Namida have reported this admitted plagiarism problem to Fuji TV and the Indonesian mass media, but there has yet to be a response. What most upsets them is that RCTI failed to credit or acknowledge Fuji TV and 1 Litre of Tears, from which the story is presumed to have been adapted, and noted that "This story is fictitious: the similarities of names, characters, places, and times are purely coincidental."

Until now, there is still no resolutions nor any effort to enforce copyright law for this case.

The accusation that this series plagiarizes 1 Litre of Tears was admitted by the main actor, during an interview with Bintang Indonesia.

"I don't want the viewers to compare me with the role on the real story. Especially when I am the main actor. Consequently, I will never want to watch the original. I'm afraid that I am being looked as imitating it. I want to be known as Chelsea. I don't care, let only the story plagiarizes, but the acting does not."

—Chelsea Olivia

The producer admitted to the plagiarism,but claimed that he "had no choice" because his "ideas had dried out".

The series itself did not mention any announcement that this serial was "inspired by" or "adapted from" but claiming that the story was merely a fiction.



LOOK! It's obviously 100% copyrighted! and why do i feel this way
1) They're just like insulting Aya, because it's
based on a true story, and the way they twist and turn the ending is ridulous. The ending (From forum) is

for those who didnt watch:
1)they made moses and nayla get married.
2)nayla pushed her wheelchair down the aisle.
3)nayla fainted just as moses was about to put her ring on.
4)moses screamed like a girl,hoisted her onto his shoulder, and did the 100-metre sprint to a gigantic lighted christmas tree.
5)nayla's eyes fluttered open,she said her last words "darling icky-poo moses..."

AND SHE DIED IN HIS ARMS. Image

It's SOOO CHEESY/LEMONY/ORANGEY/STRAWBERRY!

2) They acted JUST the way like One litre of tears! And Look at how the indo aya(Chelsea) says:
"I want to be known as Chelsea. I don't care, let only the story plagiarizes, but the acting does not.""

O-M-G YES! It's like, they copied the dolphin thing, and secondly, she even copied the way aya fell!

And it's like every detail they copied! Look at this photo cousin made(?)

Left = One litre of tears Right = Buku Harian Nayla

YOU TELL ME RIDICULOUS ANOT?!?!?!

Yesterday

Lol i've got 3 things to blog about today! Firstly it was yesterday, the most historical day of my life! Because actually, and exactly 3 things happened! LMAO.

13th May

1) We got back our results.

And i finally realized that God's help was really needed, and he helped me through my papers. Lol like for example POA, before that i was like worried like siao. Not only me, it's like my whole class, everyone was like "OMG LATER POA LEH!!!" and pop-ed out questions like, "TRADING ACCOUNT START WITH OPENING STOCK RIGHT!!!" Lol yes, it was really nerve-wrecking. But in the end, i got 64 which was a B4. And Praise the Lord! It's like 51% of the class failed, and 49% of the class passed. Hahaha. yes.

Remembered about my SS? Lol it was total crap + rubbish. And in the end i got 18/25! Hahaha it was awesome, But my geog seriously pulled me down! I actually failed geog despite the last minute revision of Rivers. And there goes my comb. humanities!

Lol oh okay. My results are the following: I
PoA - 64/100
Phy - 27/60 Chem - 34.5/60 Comb. Sci - 51/100
FNN theory - 38/100 FNN coursework - 14 FNN - 52/100 CL Compo - 43/70 CL Paper 2 - 29/70 CL LC - 18/20 CL - 56/100
Maths Paper 1 - 30/50 Maths Paper 2 - 28/50 Maths - 58/100
SS - 18/25 Geog - 11/25 Comb Human - 58/100

EL Paper 2 - 30/50

Lol anyway, next thing is, My photo actually got published on Straits Time IN section! Hahaha. it's like 3 months for it to process. And i actually sent it at February to be exact. And i'm gonna win a Media Club BagPack for it! But it's faaaar away at Toa Payoh, and i'm asking the person whether the "Goodie Bag" contains what. And shall consider if i should go then. Haha anyway. this was the Photo published.

"A Moment of Change"

Dont ask me why. LOL it suddenly came to my mind and i named it, and there it goes, to the editor's hand.

Okay and lastly, I've got a job interview! haha i shall tell you about the conversation.

Me: Hello may i ask if you're hiring at the lot1 branch?
He: Yes we are, Can i know who will this be?
Me: Esther and my another friend. What's the job requirements?
He: How old are you? Local or foreigner? not much requirement just willing to learn.
Me: Lol we're both 15 but we're most sincerly willing to learn and start from scratch!
He: Okay can i see you this saturday at -venue-
Me: Can i postpone to sunday? Because i've got church during saturday, If can't that'd be fine.
He: Sunday will be fine. However, we'll be open on Sunday so if you are suitable you can start immediately on Sunday. No worries, the Lord is the Greatest Priority! God Bless You! :)

Sunday, May 11, 2008

Awesome, i just completed one and a 1/4 drama series today!

it's hana kimi - 2 episodes
one litre of tears - 11 episodes

it was awesome! Lol anyway,

Dramas i've watched:
1) Goong
2) Stairways to Heaven
3) Forever 18
4) Lovers in Paris
5) Jiayou Gumsoon
6) Da Chang Jin
7) Romantic Princess
8) Hana Kimi - Taiwan
9) Hana Kimi - Japan
10) One Litre of Tears

it's just to keep a record eh ;) Oh anyway, 1 litre of tears is really awesome! Shall type from wikipedia what's about it.

15-year-old Ikeuchi Aya was an ordinary girl, the daughter of a family who works at a tofu shop, and a soon-to-be high schooler. However, odd things have been happening to Aya lately. She has been falling down often and walks strange. Her mother, Shioka, takes Aya to see the doctor, and he informs Shioka that Aya has spinocerebellar degeneration - a terrible disease where the cerebellum of the brain gradually deteriorates to the point where the victim cannot walk, speak, write, or eat. A cruel disease, as it does not affect the mind in the least. How will Aya react when told about her disease? And how will Aya live from now on?

This beautifully moving drama is based on the real-life struggles of a 15-year-old girl named Aya who suffered from an incurable disease, but lived life to the fullest until her death at 25. The script is based on the diary Aya kept writing until she could no longer hold a pen. The book that later followed entitled “One Litre of Tears" has sold over 1.1 million copies in Japan alone.

Aya's only wish was “to live." By carefully depicting Aya's earnest desire to live, and the love of her family, friends, and lover, the drama, “One Litre of Tears" wishes to deliver her simple but strong message: “Just being alive is such a lovely and wonderful thing." ---Fuji TV

-From crunchyroll.com LOL

awesome right! i wondered if it was me, i'd be sad all the way. But she was sooo optimistic. That eventhough one day her motor skills will deteriorate, she's still optimistic, and yeah. AWESOME

shall go for drama hunting again now! called Resurrection LOL

AWESOME

Hahaha today was a normal day! And i went home straight after exam! It was awesome! LOL. Yeah anyway, i read the Book called "In Search of a Mocking Bird" Which was sequel(?) to "To Kill a Mocking Bird" It was awesome! It tells us about this girl, who admired the author, Harper Lee sooo much, along with her dead mother too, and she travels 13,000 miles away from home alone, just to search for her, and yeah. She learnt something out of it too.

Lol anyway today was geography and physics. Hmm, For me, i think last minute studying works..? Lol it's like JUST before you start your exam, you read. Then it can all get in to my mind. But hmm. You tell me to study a week before, i will forget it all a week later. So yeah. People always says, Last minutes studying can never make it. But i guess it's different for me.

Anyway, TOMORROW'S THE LAST PAPER!!! Celebrate with me, everyone! haha, but sadly, it's FNN. It's not like art, those people that can paint and paint and paint for 3 hrs, But for Fnn, you've gotta write, solid writting for 2hrs! Can die one you know! Oh yes, and the Essay Question, which consist of 15marks, to get the full 15 marks, you must get 45 points. I repeat, 45points. YES!!! Because 1 mark, you've gotta have 3 points LOL. now you know how hard FNN is, JOSHUA.

Okay i've gotta study for my FNN now! Haha, see you everyone!

Power of Your love

Lord I come to You
Let my heart be changed, renewed
Flowing from the grace
That I've found in You
And Lord I've come to know
The weaknesses I see in me
Will be stripped away
By the power of Your love

Hold me close
Let Your love surround me
Bring me near
Draw me to Your side
And as I wait
I'll rise up like an eagle
And I will soar with You
Your spirit leads me on
By the Power of Your love

Lord unveil my eyes
Let me see you face to face
The knowledge of Your love
As you live in me
And Lord renew my mind
As Your will unfolds in my life
In living every day
By the Power of Your love
