Cast : Lukman Sardi, Darius Sinathrya, Teuku Wikana, Donny Alamsyah, Zumi Zola
This Indonesian movie was a trilogy called Trilogy Merdeka. So this movie was the first part of three movies which the other two will be release later. This movie’s setting was in 1947 when Indonesia was in second years of Independence. Start with Donny Alamsyah which became an eye witness when his family was killed by colonizer (until here, I got confused. It said that Indonesia has been liberated, then why it still has a colonizer?) Then the story moved into a future years (still on 1940’s. Don’t know exactly), when he joined the Indonesian soldiers and made a war with the colony. In soldier’s camp, he met their friend, Lukman Sardi, Zumi Zola, Teuku Wikana, and Darius. So, what’s going to be happen next with the Indonesian Soldiers in the battlefield? Just watch Merah Putih.
Something that made this movie special are the release moment were almost coincide with the 64th of Indonesian independence day (This movie was released on August 13th 2009, Indonesian independence day is August 17th). Another special thing is the cooperation between the production house with some specialist movie maker from abroad, such as stuntman specialist, explode specialist, make up specialist, and also the director. Almost forget, this movie was an action movie, which is it’s very infrequently in Indonesia. So I can say, this movie was against the Indonesian movie’s mainstream.
I don’t how to say, but I have a little disappointment about this movie. Why? You should watch it by yourself. And if I have to rate it, it’s 3 of 5 stars.
I'm not an expert on movie, so my notes is just an opinion from an ordinary audience of a movie.
