Yesterday I bought some movies at Alfamart, it's an Indonesian movies, and I didn't expected much of this film, but because my shopping adrenaline really need to buy this movie, and it's kind of cheap though, around Rp. 29.000,- (US$ 2) so I bought it and I watched it.
Here's the cover :D
The synopsis from the back of the cover is interesting though.
Radit dan Jani (panggilan Anjani) adalah pasangan muda yang nekat menikah walau mendapat tentangan dari orang tua Jani. tanpe bekal uang dan pekerjaan tetap, kehidupan yang keras harus mereka jalani. Apalagi ketergantungan Radit terhadap obat-obatan terlarang membuat langkah mereka semakin berat. Namum, mereka tetap bersatu menjadi pasangan yang bahagia dan penuh cinta.
Pada suatu hari, Jani mendapati dirinya hamil. Tiba-tiba mereka dibangunkan oleh kenyataan, bahwa hidup mereka harus berubah. Radit berusaha keras untuk mendapatkan penghasilan tetap dan ebrhenti menggunakan narkoba, agar ia bisa membahagiakan Jani dan memberi masa depan kepada anak mereka. Akan berhasilkah usaha Radit? Sebesar apakah cinta yang dibutuhkan untuk dapat menghalau semua rintangan kenyataan?
The point is that there is a couple that is so in love, but had a rough life. The husband is a drug user, have no permanent job. At some point they realize that they have to change, Jani (wife) is pregnant, and Radith wants to change, wants to get a permanent job, stop using drugs.
Before watching, after reading the synopsis, I just think that this is going to be an ordinary film, that the bad guys going to be good guys and live happily after. BUT, this is changed when I watched the movie.
A little about the movie:
Radith and Jani lived a happily life, getting high, hangover, and having sex everywhere. Sometimes they do crime, this is a scene that I think it's funny, Jani (wife) playing all naughty with a shop keeper, while Radith (husband) steal some food and drinks from behind.
Radith have a job though, a Valet Parking driver but he got kicked out because he sometimes steal thing from the car (ridicolous as it sound, but this happened!). Sometimes when he was finding a job, he got into a mess with the shop owner who doesn't want to give him work.
Jani have a job too, as a dishwasher, but kicked out because her style is like a hooker.
Sometimes they go to Jani's parents to borrow some money, but her father got so stubborn to give them some money. But the interesting part is, how Jani won't leave Radith at any cost, "He make me happy..", she always says that. At this point, my brain is singing 2 song, Logic and Feeling. This is a conversation that's happening while watching:
Logic: "How foolish that women is! He obviously can't provide anything. Their relationship based on love, how ridicolous!"
Feeling: "Hey, as long as she is happy, it doesn't matter"
Logic: "Yeah, keep talking, let's see how this movie ends, I bet on my pants that Radith will leave Jani!"
Feeling: "I don't think so, I think they're gonna stick together"
In the end, Radith is giving Jani back to their parents. And at the end of the movie, Jani have another husband (I think her parents told her to get married again). And Radith comes to see Jani and giving Kirana (their daughter name) a gift.
After watching the movie, I feel that Indonesian Film is finally evolving (Not with the ghost theme anymore). Few things too learn from this movie:
(Logic speaks)
1. Junkie is still Junkie!
2. Everybody lies!
3. Rehabilitation from drug is not easy, Radith comes back to drug after one night locked up at his room (the reality is like this, SO DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT DRUGS! It only give's us a temporary pleasure and permanent damage)
4. Don't love someone if you can't make her happy!
5. Don't tell someone you're happy unless you are really happy (who will say I am happy, when I was hungry and got no money, BULLSHIT!)
6. Living on your own is hard
Okay, that's the ugly part :p, now is the bright side
(Feeling Speaks)
1. With love, everybody can be happy
2. Keep trying to make your wife/husband to be happy, they will be happy anyway.
3. Living a live with no one but your beloved one still is beautiful.
Okay, now I feel that I have a MPD ==' (Multiple Personality Disorder).. ROFL! Okay, that's about Logic vs Feeling, Logic WINS with unanimous decision from the 3 judges :p..
The End~
