This film dares to appear discussing a point of view that many people don't want to explore. About the Dutch in the colonial era of Indonesia. About the colonizing party. And this film presents it with a neutral pov. There is no agenda for glorification or self-defense. This film purely shows the human side experienced by the parties involved. As a war film, however, it follows the formula well. We can say cliche, but still unique thanks to the pov. As an Indonesian, this film is well done.
