MERANTAU
Cast : Iko Uwais, Sisca Jessica, Christine Hakim, Donny Alamsyah
Back with me again fellas. Now, still with my movie review. This is one of Indonesian movies. It's titled Merantau. Merantau has a little bit common with adventure or a journey.
Well, this story tells us about a man named Yuda (Iko Uwais). He is from Minangkabau, West Sumatera. In Minangkabau, there's a tradition for a boy that will become a man, it's Merantau. So shortly, Yuda do his adventure to Jakarta as a capital city of Indonesia. He must do something and when he back again to his village, he can make his mother (Christine Hakim), his brother (Donny Alamsyah), and all of people in his village proud of him. With Yuda's idealism, he try to survive in Jakarta, he's homeless, and all he wants to do is teaching silat (a self defence). Main story of this movie is when Yuda try to rescue Astri from some bandits. Astri and her brother, Adit, live in the hardness life of Jakarta. So, what happens next with Yuda when try to rescue Astri and Adit? Can he become a proudness of his family and his village?? Just watch Merantau in cinema.
My review : THIS IS SUCH A GREAT INDONESIAN MOVIE!!!! I mean it! In all aspects of this movie. The story, the cast, the action, it's all great. Even Sisca Jessica can act greatly as Astri *I always see her just in infotainment or some kind of FTV*. For me, this movie can be a pride of Indonesia in international's sight, with the story and also the tradition which become the main title of this movie, Merantau. Special credit for Iko Uwais, he plays all the action scene by himself. Somekinds like jump for one building to another, fighting scene, running scene, etc. Based on some information, he is an athlete of Silat. That's why he can play the action scene perfectly. Another credit for this movie, the director is not an Indonesian. His name is Gareth Evans (Footsteps - 2006).
Well, there's a lot of good things in this movie. You have to proof it by yourself and I hope my notes is not just a hyperbolism. hehe. My rates : 4.5 of 5 stars.
