Indonesian Movies = Awesome!! or Rubbish??

I mean, not all Indonesian movies. Only several of it.

Wednesday 15th of September. I just come back to Jogja after a long holiday of Eid Mubarak. Well, it means, that was the first day i'll meet my friends and of course my bf. Well, many plans of us on that day. Especially to watch Darah Garuda (by Yadi Sugandi) and Sang Pencerah (by Hanung Bramantyo).

After arrived to Jogja, i met my bf on a train station and finally go to Ambarrukmo Plaza (Amplaz). Well, the basement is totally empty, no one there in parking lot (except the employer of course). And with a smiling face, we used lift to bring us to 4th floor where the cinema exist. And guess what! We can't smile again. Because we saw peoples stand in line until the entrance door. Gosh!! And here it is. Me and my bf just keep stand in line.

look at this crowd!

And suddenly a woman come to us and she ask us to buy him Sammy's Adventure ticket for her and her son. Okay, we agree. And guess what, she gives us 30.000 rupiahs for stand in line for her! wohoo how lucky we are :D

And, we've got it! Sang Pencerah and Darah Garuda tickets. First we watch Darah Garuda on 13.10 and then Sang Pencerah on next theater on 15.20. And the two films are totally awesome! International quality and i bet you'll regret for not watching it.

First, about Darah Garuda. Actually this is a sequel from Merah Putih, an Indonesian epic film. Epic. One thing about it. First i watched Merah Putih a long long time ago, and now, i thought that Darah Garuda just so much better than its prequel. From the cinematography and casts, it just awesome. The improvisation of its casts and the way Yadi bring the audience so much better than Merah Putih. And now, the most impressive things of this film is that ALL AUDIENCES from my theater, just flow away with the story, scream and give applause in the end of this movie, where Dayan (Rifnu Wikana) saved by the bell! Hehehe. I just cant stop to admiring Yadi Sugandi to produce this movie.

And then, Sang Pencerah. Actually i'm not a Muslim. But i totally want to see this film! Yes, of course. And give applause to Hanung Bramantyo! Well, maybe this film just give me a historical story about Muhammadiyah. A.w.e.s.o.me. No other words. Hanung a little bit in hurry to bring the tempo, but it doesnt matter. This film give you a knowledge about religion much better than experiences. And also with a little bit sense of humor, the audiences can learn something about Islam especially. And two thumbs up for Hanung!

Well, nothing much to say about Indonesian movie. Just watch, sit back and relax! 

Ps: i don't suggest you to watch horror-sex Indonesian movie. It is just totally a RUBBISH.
