Review: islambertobat
As with other mass media, the film also has the ability to uncover, comment on and deal with actual social problems directly. Not through parables, not through a fairy tale or other intermediary. The role is very rarely done in Indonesia this film by director and screenwriter Hanung Bramantyo Titien Wattimena in their latest film titled "?" ("Question Mark").
They 'picked up' of actual events in the last five to ten years (church bombings, judgment / destruction of property of others who violate the rules, restlessness / interethnic riots etc) and mix them with the 'fiction' personal problems of his characters. The word 'fiction' may not be too precise, because that actually served the general problems experienced by the community. This problem was 'appointed' to more 'general', until it feels as fiction. In short: different fiction and fact in this film successfully made into thin.
Kat Tan Sun (Henky Solaiman), followers of Confucius and the Chinese restaurant owner who was old and sick are very environmentally conscious. How to cook and cooking utensils are sharply divided between clean and unclean. He was troubled by his son, Hen aka Ping Hendra (Rio Dewanto), which has its own vision in business.
Salah (Reza Rahadian), Islam and the unemployed who diligently serve, always anxious to be his situation, while his wife, Menuk (Revalina S Temat) who worked at the restaurant veiled Kat Tan Sun. Menuk that practically became a pillar of the family, appeared as a model wife.
Rika (Endhita), single berputra widow, continued the family business: the bookstore. His own choice, he studied religion and wanted to be baptized Catholic, while only son still encouraged to deepen the Islamic religion in the local mosque. He is also friends with Surya (Agus Kuncoro), who dreams of becoming a great actor but fate still had the opportunity of small roles. So no money, he was staying in the mosque.
Background
These characters live in an old area of a town in Central Java (Semarang) the impressive landscape of a Chinatown area, although there is also a mosque and not too far away (in the film is less clearly delineated geographical location) stands the Catholic church which is quite magnificent. The language used Indonesian accent Java and the Java language. Selection of this background is the right choice to dramatize friction. This selection is also at the same time shows how in everyday life we 'should' deal with ethnic or other faiths. Even the great families, in Java in particular, have always had family members who are ethnic and / or embrace another religion.
It has been running normal and not problematic since a long time, specifically with ethnic Chinese although there are always hidden in the subconscious without the conscious mind appear physically on the groups 'original'. He became problematic since the reform / 1998 riots in the absence of a clear and decisive handling of the matter afterwards, while allowed to grow radicalism / fundamentalism, ethnic / religious, and always appeared that the group that utilizes turbidity.
Hanung attitude towards this issue. He showed ethnic and religious differences is the fact Indonesia we should be grateful. He even pointed out in many scenes of what a 'foolish' actions are based only on prejudice ethnicity / religion, especially if it is spiced up again by the prejudices which departs from personal problems such as those performed Salah. Hendra was always fighting with each other when passing and taunting, which burned jealous Soleh exert his friends to destroy Hendra restaurants were open on the second day of Lebaran. Hendra ignoring his father's policy of always giving a five-day holiday on the grounds during Lebaran employees 'business': on the day of Lebaran people eating out and going home helpers home.
Pseudo Difference
Hanung also showed differences that are actually false. Sermons / advice cleric or priest in essence the same. When Sun asks if she can portray Jesus in the Easter play at church, Ustad replied that what matters is that there is in him. Although we know that one of the reasons Sun's role is to receive honoraria. Even Rika who consciously take the path that does not go through the majority of families and communities, say that ultimately the way religion is a private road. A thought which is actually normal, but look progressive in the context of the film, and also possibly in the context of today's society full of prejudice.
The attitude of 'progressive' is also coloring the entire film except at the end. The director and screenwriter apparently of the opinion that every problem in the film there must be a solution. Though there is no necessity that, because so many films give an open ending. Especially for this movie, the solution at the end of the movie actually weaken the two sides at once: progressive thought, which ended with the conventional wisdom tends to be conservative, and dramatic structure that has been cultivated since the beginning seemed to be no longer. Salah damaging the restaurant where his wife's work, preferring Rica Solar Islam than Doni (Barry Manilow) the faith, the destruction of the restaurant makes Hendra aware of the policy of his father. This is the dramatic peaks that. Afterward, the explanations that seemed excessive and reduced the value that was dramatic.
It's possible fear disalahfahami filmmaker. Fear is actually unnecessary, because the suffix open means actively invites the audience to give its own interpretation that is not necessarily the same as the creator. A film, as well as the arts generally, to be beautiful because it gives the space and the creator must know himself where he had to stop to explain himself. In other words, an art should be beautiful in content and in manner.
In Hanung, fun, we no longer need to talk about how or technical matters. He was very eloquent on the medium. What is needed is a struggle further and deeper to the problem and ways to express said. However the beauty of expression is as important as what is about to be disclosed.
