Indonesian Film
Yesterday, I watched 3 kingdoms for the second time. Yes, the second time the first one I watched at Friday and at Saturday I watched again midnight of course with my other friend in other place too. Wow that film is really good movie. The full title of that film is 3 kingdoms : resurection of the dragon. This film is mainly told about the kingdom Shu in Romance of 3 Kingdoms. But in that film you can watch the plot where Zhao Zilong or you also know as Zhao Yun is became famous. Is there where in Battle of Changban, where Liu Bei was attacked by Tsao Tsao and he force to flee Liu Bei's wife also his little boy. After that battle Zhao Zilong became very - very famous because he saved Liu Bei's child.
In that film Zhao Zilong was portrayed by Andy Lau. Very charismatic actor, he can steal the watcher heart. Zhao Zilong in this film is super duper character. He is obviously complex who can do everything himself.
But after I watched that film I think. Why, our film Indonesian film can't do such things just like that China film? Romance of three kingdoms is a epic film and history novel. Why we just don't produced just like Prahara di langit majahpahit? Or Amukti Palapa. I've found some similarities between that Zhao Zilong character on film and Gajah Mada one of the greatest warlord in Indonesia. They are strong willing and have sworn to unite their countries.
I waited so long in here. When some director in Indonesia just like John de Rantau or Riri Reza to filming that majahpahit epic or Kediri. Why? China can do that why Indonesia can't do that?

to be honest to you .. Indonesian film is not about showing how Indonesian you are, or how great our history was .. Indonesian film are just about making mucho dinero aka lots of money ...
look at all those ghost stories, teenage love, puppy love stories, religious stories *starting too ..*
Those are the stories that attracts our Indonesian community... no serious plot, no difficult thinking.. that's why ...
and beside, I don't think Indonesian movie produces have the ability to make epic movie just like three kingdoms or Warlords just because they don't want to use a lot of money to produce the movie but GAIN a lot of money from the movie ..
Sad to say, but this is reality, dude! :)
although, I do admire Mira Lesmana for her Gie's movie .. :) I think that'a good start for Indonesian to learn that there are more then ghosts and love stories ..
ciao
