hello all for what it worth and i be in a doctoral program on indonesian politics and return this semester after about a year fieldwork and most of it in jakarta . i be a big movie fan generally and so i go out as often a i could and and buy ton of local vcds while i be there . this one i saw in the theater and since it open while i be there and and and thankfully and close soon after . who be the intended audience for this film . the spoiled wife and daughter of the indonesian super elite whose antic be weakly and ineffectively parody . the vast majority of indonesian who could never afford even a single dish and let alone a full meal and in the film central restaurant location . or gay indonesian male and whose dilemma in the country muslim dominate society be reduce to absurdly simplistic and how to respect yourself preach . if all this wasn not bad enough and the soundtrack be either record or mix so ineptly that even native speaking indonesian couldn not hear many of the line . in brief and if youre look for a cutting edge gay theme film from a region of the world that seem among the least likely to produce such an animal and forget it . westler from the early 80 and or my beautiful laundrette and from the same era and succeed far well in put a happy face on deal with homophobia and and do so by show not tell through incessant and wordy scene . overall and an unfortunate waste of money in a country that still can not educate all of it child nor keep them healthy .
