In her shoes
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
not fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
Another husband to share
Last Sunday I woke up after 7 am, so obviously it's impossible to attend the earliest Church service. I was thinking to drop the chance of watching Berbagi Suami, but at the end my carnally minded won after I found an excuse that I could go to the afternoon service later. The decision was made simply because of that dress code thing :-DI love orange! To attend an event where all attendants must wear orange, that's something that I wanted to experience.
Around 8 am I sms-ed my friends and confirmed that I would come.
We couldn't get nice seats cos I arrived a bit late though the lights were still on and the film had not yet begun. My expectation of orange sensation was not granted! Not even half of the people wore it. But we all got Salma Candle plus the poster to take home.
The synopsis of the film is available online, so I will leave it untouched.
I only want to write what I think about the movie, besides its 100% positive reviews are already available blog-widely to read.
The Positives
It's above of what considered as the popular current Indonesian movies.
So far I watched "Ada Apa Dengan Cinta", small part of "Brownies", "Jaelangkung", a snip of "Mengejar Matahari" and -I think- there are some other more films. Glad I didn't waste Rupiahs to watch them at the cinema, cause they only pushed me away even further from Indonesian movies. Can't stand those common over-dose acting of Indonesian actors/ actresses!
"Berbagi Suami" brings a bit hope for me to like Indonesian movies again.
Some notable players from this film are:
- Winky as Nadim. He looks relax and he has the right dose of expression.
- Dominique as Ming. Fresh, unstrained, and very beautiful girl.
- Shanty as Siti. I could forget her real attribute as a pop-star singer and saw her as just Siti instead in that movie, but a little flaw does exist.
The Negatives
So many cliché scenes. The way the guys lust for their woman are so anywhere in any back hollywood movies. Nia Dinata was just like raw taking those scenes from those already out movies. No originality and not artistic at all.
Improper accent. It shadows Shanty's acting quality and wastes her already (beautiful) Javanese look –though she's originally Sunda. Had she been able to master the Javanese accent, I would find her acting more appealing.
Koh Abun and Ci Linda don't deliver the way the Chinese (Kota) talk.
Cliché Acting. Though it's above the average Sinetron Indonesia, I didn't find it captivating. I could still find the Indonesian actors/ actresses standardized expressions such as disturbed feeling is represented by jerky eyes, anger is represented by voluntary widening eyes. Ira Maya Sopha's unnecessary slapstick acting is also annoying.
I think Indonesia actors/ actresses should learn from those Korean actresses/ actors, they can just stay still, don't even make a slight flick to their eyes, yet they can deliver the right emotion to their viewers.
Improper attribute. Big tattoo on one of the motherly gynecologist's hands. For me it's a bit weird.
OST. Soundtrack songs don't match the film mood, but many give positive reviews. Maybe it's just not my preference.
There are some other drawbacks but that'll be too much for a good film like "Berbagi Suami" if I wrote them all.
After all, like I wrote it already, this film gives me a ray of hope to like Indonesian movie again ;-)
And I finally didn't go to Church either in the afternoon. Pff...
Berbagi Suami = Sharing a hubby
For some reasons I am not a fan of Indonesian movies. But I'm not going to write about it now.
If this time I feature Berbagi Suami
here, it's because Elz 
, one of the producers of that film, is the wife of my good friend, Oc. Elz, who was still pregnant of their first baby at that time, also appeared in one scene there as a pregnant woman.
Oc
rang me yesterday afternoon, and he told me about that movie.
The film depicts stories about polygamy in 3 families of different class.
Oc told me that the story is coloured by real story and characters.
The Pak Lik character is inspired by a driver, pet-named Tomingse, who once worked with Kalyana Shira Film. That Tomingse, even with his front teeth jutting out, manages to have 3 wives. The crews used to tease him to share his bed-room story; he said sometimes the 4 of them are in one bed together at once aka foursome
Oc tried to convince me that it is a good and rare movie that I and other friends must see.
Since I don't like Indonesian movie, I asked for some free tickets. Last time he offered me some free tickets to see "Biola Tak Berdawai" but I didn't take them. Unfortunately this time Elz only got 4 free tickets, and all were already gone to their close relatives.
Anyway I told other friends to see Oc's wife's film.
Leet
, my best friend, sms'ed then phoned me, telling me that she has 4 free tickets from Femina magazine. It's a 'watching movie together' event. It even has a dress code, a touch of orange- which is one of my favourite colours!
But another unfortunately strikes! It'll be held on Sunday 10 am!
It can be my Church time!
Maybe this sounds too religious for some people, but I feel bad to have abandoned Church for many times on Sunday.
Maybe if I can manage to join the earlier service at 7am and to arrive at the venue before 10am, I will be able to experience Berbagi Suami. The film of course!
Since the film has collaboration with a partner from France, that sounds possible if this film will reach there one day.
