ROMEO + JULIET


The roman of Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare, has been adapted in Indonesian Film. The film has adopted and uses a same title, but this film background is about fanatics of football supporters. “Fanatics have grown and developed in supporters mind base on many motifs, even do a rational motif or irrational one. They are could be die for his loving football clubs.

This idea has been screen on by Andi Bactiar Yusuf. After he is making a documenter of football themes. In the beginning I just think this film is a comedy film, or full with satires comedian film as the other film in Indonesia.

But after watching this film, I am find there are some different themes inside it. First, I just can understand that a fanatic of a football club is an absolute thing. It is became a royal mind.

The second, Football theme has been merge with William Shakespeare Love story, can be a good reflection. Although a sweet love story and football is not corresponding, but this film can be enjoyed by everyone. Maybe they are not a football lover.

The synopsis film is a bout Desi and Rangga; Desi Kasih Purnamasari (Sissy Priscilia) is a Viking Lady. Viking lady is called to woman supporters of Persib Bandung. Rangga (Edo Borne) is a JACKmania; he is a supporter of Persija Jakarta. Everybody knows that both club is always fight each to other.

But what a next, A love is always illogic thing. Although both of them have a super fanatics mind. Their love could fight to everything. Desi and Rangga have a forbidden love. The people around always beat their love, especially Desi older brother (Alex Komang). He is a real absolute Viking. Their conflict was going worst while Desi and Rangga decide to marry. As per Romeo and Juliet story by William Shakespeare; this film has a tragic ending story. Rangga has beaten by Vikings and he is dying.

Victim and fighting are coloring along this film. It is exactly same as Romeo and Juliet story before. It is full with family conflict. I gave a good appreciate to the director film. In the beginning, this film idea has been beaten by the club supporters chairman, Jackmania and Viking club. They are both said that this film is not reflecting their habits. This film makes a controversial among the Jackmania and also among the Viking. Actually the film is not support one of the supporters. The film message is a peace message with love as a scarification. I hope if you are not like with this theme, you can see the art side of the film; it is about a peace message for all supporters of Indonesian football. This is a good creation that you should give some appreciation.

I give three stars for this film. It has a strong theme, but this film has a poor quality picture snapshoot. The lighting and sharpness of the picture not well editing. So it is look like not enough serious to make this film. While if you are like a lover story, it is a different love film. Lets you are watching in to the cinema around your house.
