Creative Writing II

MOVIE AS A MAJOR ENTERTAINMENT



The form of entertainment that I think should be developed within Indonesia is Indonesian movie because of several reasons. First of all, because the majority of Indonesians especially in Jakarta spend their leisure times watching movie. It is agreeable because a movie has all the requirements to be an entertainment. It is relaxing, entertaining, and most importantly the audiences can enjoy it with others.

Second, Indonesia has a lot of potential directors, actors/ actresses, and supported by good theaters (XXI, Blitz, etc). Indonesian directors such as Riri Riza, Rudy Soedjarwo, Mira Lesmana, and Garin Nugroho had made award-winnings movies. Eliana, Eliana (Singapore 2002) and Ada Apa Dengan Cinta (FFI 2004) are to name a few.

Unfortunately, while having great directors and facilities, there are also many of Indonesian movies that aren’t qualified especially the horror genre. For example, Pocong 2 and Genderuwo. It seems that once a director makes a horror movie and the others follow without making any improvement. That is why movie is one form of entertainment in Indonesia which should be developed.
