‘Si Jago Merah’, a tribute to the unsung hero?

Modern cinema is a product of Western culture. Our cinematic perceptions of the world have for decades been dominated by American cinematic icons produced by Hollywood.

It is therefore not surprising that an Indonesian firefighter protested about what he considered an inaccurate depiction of his professional life in the comedy film Si Jago Merah, the latest production of Hanung Bramantyo and Starvision.

To paraphrase a viewer’s comments, the movie, which tells the story of the daily lives of firefighters, was “too American”.

One may ask, for instance, “Do people here really call firefighters to help them find a ring that is lost in a closet, as the film shows? Do they also really call firefighters to rescue their pets from trees?”

These scenes are likely to appear only in American movies.

But it is perhaps too much to expect realism from a comedy film. After all, its director, Iqbal Rais, said he never intended to provide a realistic — let alone vivid — depiction of Indonesian firefighters’ lives.

“We are trying to focus the story on the four college students,” said Iqbal, who previously worked with Hanung on the film The Tarix Jabrix.

If so, then the film’s biggest mistake is its pretension to be seen as a tribute to the unsung heroes who risk their lives to rescue fire victims.

Apart from its inability to provide a realistic portrayal of firefighters, and its inclination to maintain the Hollywood dramatic and heroic clich*, the film’s storyline is luckily well written.

The jokes and slapstick scenes, though mostly predictable, are strangely still funny enough to make the audience laugh.

This is perhaps the achievement of its main actors: retro band Club 80s’ drummer Desta and its keyboardist Ytonk, comedian Agus Ringgo and Indonesian Idol finalist Judika.

Si Jago Merah follows four college students with different personalities and from different cultural backgrounds.

Gito (Desta) is an avid-clubber; Dede (Agus Ringgo) is an acute womanizer; Kuncoro (Ytonk) is a spoiled rich kampong boy; and Rojak (Judika) is a militant activist.

They are united by the same problem: Being summoned by the dean for failing to pay their tuition fees.

While meeting with their feisty dean, Ibu Susi (played by Sarah Sechan), they discover that their parents are all broke and can no longer send them money.

Trapped in the same dilemma, they become friends and, after trying some lousy jobs, decide to become firefighters.

The classic Warkop DKI (Dono, Kasino, Indro) films, which often depicted the lives of college students from regions in urban Jakarta, come to mind when watching this film. A number of slapstick scenes are even reminiscent of Warkop films.

Judika’s acting debut is almost impressive, as is Ytonk’s.

Agus Ringgo, who began his acting career in the comedy film Jomblo (2006), plays the token wacky character, while Desta, who has also starred in comedy films, the latest of which is Barbi3, is more restrained in the role of Gito, the melancholic one in the group.

The film’s biggest flaw lies in the special effects it uses when depicting a burning building; windows burning slowly with harmless campfires as opposed to ferocious blazes.

The problem with local movies is that audiences tend to judge and compare them to Hollywood standards. The case would be different if local filmmakers steered away from trying to emulate their Hollywood counterparts.

Hulk the Movie

Univesal Pictures has released a synopsis for The Incredible Hulk, the Marvel Studios film it will distribute next year.
Here’s how the film is described:

“The explosive, action-packed adventure in one of the all-time most popular superhero sagas unfolds with a cure in reach for the world’s most primal force of fury: The Incredible Hulk. We find scientist Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) living in shadows, scouring the planet for an antidote. But the warmongers who dream of abusing his powers won’t leave him alone, nor will his need to be with the only woman he has ever loved, Betty Ross (Liv Tyler).

“Upon returning to civilization, our brilliant doctor is ruthlessly pursued by The Abomination (Tim Roth) — a nightmarish beast of pure adrenaline and aggression whose powers match The Hulk’s own. A fight of comic-book proportions ensues as Banner must call upon the hero within to rescue New York City from total destruction. And on June 13, 2008, one scientist must make an agonizing final choice — accept a peaceful life as Bruce Banner or the creature he could permanently become: The Incredible Hulk.”

Production of the film — written by Zak Penn and directed by Louis Leterrier — is expected to start next month in Toronto.

My Result :

First of all, this is my first movie I saw in cinema and alone absolutly. I really enjoy this movie, has a good story, nice effect, and surround sound make it fill good.

Twilight : Vampire Romance Story

TWILIGHT is an action-packed, modern-day love story between a teenage girl and a vampire. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother re-marries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn’t expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she’s ever met. Edward is a vampire, but he doesn’t have fangs and his family is unique in that they choose not to drink human blood. Intelligent and witty, Edward sees straight into Bella’s soul. Soon, they are swept up in a passionate, thrilling and unorthodox romance. To Edward, Bella is what he has waited 90 years for – a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward & Bella do when a clan of new vampires – James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre) – come to town and threaten to disrupt their way of life?

ABOUT TWILIGHT: Based on the #1 New York Times Best-Selling series with over 17 million books in print by Stephenie Meyer, TWILIGHT is a cultural phenomenon, with a dedicated fan base that eagerly awaits this movie. There are over 350 fan sites devoted to TWILIGHT, and it has been chosen as the New York Times Editor’s Choice, a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year, Amazon’s “Best Book of the Decade…So Far”, Teen People’s “Hot List” Pick, and The American Library Association’s “Top Ten Best Book for Young Adults” and “Top Ten Books for Reluctant Readers,” among others. Critically acclaimed director Catherine Hardwicke brings to life this modern, visual, and visceral Romeo & Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love affair – between vampire and mortal.

My Result : good
For me, this movie has a good picture and amazing effect. But this movie can’t reach my expectation before I wacthed it. But for all, it’s one of amazing story that you have to see.
