MERAH PUTIH THE FILM

MERAH PUTIH, the first film of the Freedom Trilogy, a three-film co-production by PT Media Desa Indonesia, owned by Hashim Djojohadikusumo, and international film production company Margate House, Ltd., owned by Rob Allyn and Jeremy Stewart. Set against a historically authentic backdrop of Indonesias struggle for independence in 1947 during the Van Mook offensive into the heart of republican territory in Central Java, MERAH PUTIH tells the story of a fictional band of freedom fighters who bond together as cadets to survive a massacre, fighting on as guerrilla soldiers to become true children of the nation, despite their sharp conflicts and deep differences in social class, ethnicity, geographic origin, religion and personality.

Directed by Yadi Sugandi, Indonesias most celebrated cinematographer and Director of Photography for LASKAR PELANGI, UNDER THE TREE, TIGA HARI UNTUK SELAMANYA and THE PHOTOGRAPH, MERAH PUTIH features an all-star ensemble cast of Indonesias most talented young actors: Lukman Sardi (LASKAR PELANGI, QUICKIE EXPRESS, 9 NAGA, GIE), Doni Alamsyah (FIKSI, 9 NAGA, GIE), Darius Sinathrya (UNGU VIOLET, DBIJIS, NAGA BONAR JADI 2, LOVE), Zumi Zola (KAWIN LARIS), T. Rifnu Wikana (KADO HARI JADI, LASKAR PELANGI). The film also stars Astri Nurdin and introduces London-and-Hollywood-trained actress Rahayu Saraswati.

Shot in 35-millimeter film, MERAH PUTIH gathered a topflight team of special effects and technical experts with experience in Hollywood films: British Special Effects Coordinator Adam Howarth (SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, BLACKHAWK DOWN), Stunt Coordinator Rocky McDonald (MISSION IMPOSSIBLE II, THE QUIET AMERICAN), Make-Up and Visual Effects Artist Rob Trenton (BATMAN - THE DARK KNIGHT), Key Armorer John Bowring (CROCODILE DUNDEE II, THE MATRIX, THE THIN RED LINE, AUSTRALIA, X-MEN ORIGINS:WOLVERINE) and First Assistant Director Mark Knight (DECEMBER BOYS, BEAUTIFUL).

MERAH PUTIH will be released national wide in theatre starting August 13th, 2009 at theatre networks of 21 and Blitzmegaplex.

disatu sisi kita masih harus bersyukur pemerannya bukan Tora Sudiro, Aming atau Luna Maya

Ya kalo orang Belanda nonton film ini ya kayak biasanya nonton film. Sama aja pertanyaannya gimana kalo orang Indonesia, Australia, dan Timor Leste diajak nonton film "BALIBO", with all respect to my fellow country men, Film adalah sebuah karya seni...jadi nikmati aja, buang jauh2 emosi, dan permusuhan, kita duduk bersama dan nikmati film ini, kita ambil hikmahnya, belajar dai kesalahan masal lalu kita, karena kita memang masih harus banyak belajar.

Actually Indonesia's oppressor in that era were VOC, not the Netherlands themself. But because VOC is making tons of money for the Dutch royalties, well... In the end it's all about greed. Just like America and their attempts to secure oil in the Middle East with the pretense of humanity, democracy, and freedom.

I just saw this movie yesterday, picked it up under the title of "Inglorious Indonesian Bastards" (I swear, no joke) and expected a B-movie, but the film I ended up watching was very solidly made in my opinion and actually gave me (a german) quite the interest in the history of a country so far away from mine... it's admittedly not a masterpiece, but it is a worthwhile movie that I personally enjoyed quite a lot.
