De Oost (2020)
Nice movie, I hope they make a sequel!
As an Indonesian I really like this movie, because it's well produced while highlighting my country's story. Cinematography is good, story is quite interesting, and the actors can take me into their situation and empathize. But my favorite is the soundtrack, which is influenced by gamelan a traditional instrument. It gives the mystical aura so fitting to the setting. Since this story is inspired by Capt Raymon (Westerling) actions in Indonesia, I hope they make a sequel because I just found out that in 1950 he lead a military group called APRA and attempted coup against government of Indonesia. He even initiated attacks on the cities of Jakarta (capital) and Bandung. That would be a nice film also!
3 Hari Untuk Selamanya (2007)
a great presentation!!
This movie succeeded in conforming international quality standards. This movie has a really nice cinematography, this movie offer some great views of Java Island. Great acting performances by both main casts, unique storyline, and also great soundtracks. The dialogs are real enough and not exaggerating, so it could really resembles about what is going on in our social life right now. U can see the gap between old tradition with current modern lifestyle, and the irony that most of Indonesian are trapped in both situation. You can see that irony are all over the place, inconsistencies about values in life. So you will also find many black humor in this movie. But still, the main idea of the story would be hard to be followed, and with so much controversy in the story, i got a bit confused with what are the writer and director trying to say with this movie.
