Mantan Manten (2019)
An acceptance of life
Luck is matter, is part of the plot. Yasnina is a broken women at end of 30s. Actually in the movie Yasnina is 29 years old, but personally I would say it should be end of 30s which might explained her hardship and maturity, also knowing that Atiqah Hasiholan at that time is around 37 years old. Yasnina is broken at everything, Yasnina's broken relationship -married at age of 20 but husband died, broken career -falling business. Yasnina unfortunate life is the plot of the movie, as she is orphan, once able to conquer the corporate world, but falling again. The life is not so nice to Yasnina. Well I understand that this movie is not popular as this tell the truth, a sad, not a happy ending life. An acceptance of life -an "I believe in life"
The movie is about relationship, not only with other people, but with self. I really like to watch this movie. Good one, is not happy ending, unpredictable movie, but it has a very beautiful conclusion. At the end Atiqah become shaman, which is a role that really fit her, as she is experienced financial advisor -shaman is not a day to day job that can be learned within a years. Shaman need not only knowledge but the real life experienced on the hardship of life, as shaman is required and expected to provide a wisdom to that god-level like. It is symbolized with a question "Have you married? As the shaman can not be a unmarried" this question is symbolized the plot of this movie.
Technically, a lot of part of this movie is so relatable, e.g the part of selling the house is realistic enough, mortgage at bank 400 million, the only money that the old shaman has only 175 million, Yasnina counter offer of 25% from 2 billion, which around 500 million, more than twice of the offer. The shaman character is very interesting, she is not all expert, a bit egoistic, realistic character. Originally I thought this is a corporate setting movie or some kind of hotel / management movie. I never thought this is relation between shaman and the girl can be so deep and the character exploration of Yasnina is very good one. Five star movie, not a typical black and white movie. At the end there is no villain or bad guy. Beautiful.
Teka Teki Tika (2021)
Dissapointing
At first I have very huge expectation for this movie, based on the trailer, I get the sense of Knives Out (2019) themes also Us (2019) Jordan Peele's. I am a bit worry with the execution of things that haunted all the Indonesian "copy paste" movie just like Teka Teki Tika. I think the worst part is the end part where the movie try very hard to describe Tika's role as secret agent, very unnecessary.
Death to 2020 (2020)
funny
Just like good old mockumentary, funny as usual. Its the different version of Philomena Cunk. Interesting
Nightcrawler (2014)
Creepy but fascinating movie
The first 10-15 minutes a little bit boring, but the rest is fascinating. Louis Bloom character is creepy, and the plot is unpredictable. The way that Lou character speak is a perfect presentation of the corporate world. Lou character is very consistent and that what makes the comedy part of the movie. Afterall it is a comedy movie that is very fun and entertaining. One of the best that I have watched.
Anna and the King (1999)
Entertain and educating
As people that born and lived in Southeast Asia, the depiction of modernization in Thailand is educating, while at the same time this movie is really entertaining. This movie is very important for student to learn geopolitical and culture development. I understand that this movie is banned in Thailand, which from my point of view I somewhat agree that as government is very difficult not to banned this movie.
