I watched Kartini few days ago. I don& #39;t usually watch Indonesian films because 10-20 years ago, their films were quite cringe-y and suck. But in recent years, Indo films overtook Msian films in many ways in term of quality.

These are my favourite scenes. A thread;
Another powerful narration by Kartini regarding women& #39;s status in Javanese society;

"Sekali jiwa diserahkan, selamanya tidak akan pernah kita miliki kembali."

"Ni tidak akan serahkan jiwa ini kepada siapa pun, dia harus menjadi saksi kepedihan dan kebahagiaan Ni di masa depan."
The status of women in old Javanese society. Sad.

Well, this is what feudal society most afraid of. Feudal and patriarchy society precisely.
The poor stays poor, the illiterate stays illiterate. That& #39;s why these people with power want you to stay dumb.

Her second term;
And her final term is about her biological mother. Anyway, her biological mother is the first wife of her father but she is not a royal blood and a maid, that& #39;s why her father had to take 2nd wife, a royal blood (Raden).

(Actually her father loves her mother so much https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😉" title="Zwinkerndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Zwinkerndes Gesicht">)

End.
The reason I love this movie:

The screenwriting is superb. Smooth.

Indonesian films usually have "chaos" screenwriting, unsur penceritaan yang tidak kemas dan susah nak faham.

This one athough the pace is slow, you immediately immersed in it. Ala2 tengok filem Bong Joon-ho.
Honestly, I hate Indonesian films because of how they write the screenwriting and story plot. Chaos, tidak kemas, cincai sana sini, jalan cerita terlompat sana sini.

But "Kartini" changed my perspectives. They do know how to write proper story. The flow is smooth like that.
