The Power of Motion Picture

Indonesian film makers must change their mind-set of making movie for profit to making movie to educate.

Since the introduction of film roll by Kodak in 1906, many people have used it as communication tool to send messages. Unlike any other arts such as literature, music, or painting, film doesn't give its audience a chance to digest another perspective. Its combination of audio and visual is the strength film has which doc'trinally can give clear understanding of something more than other arts.

This next example will widen your gaze about how the power of film could change a nation.

Approximately from 1930 to 1944, Nazi realized and used film as their ultimate weapon to spread their ideology of fascism throughout Germany. They produced almost anykind of film and from every genre, which of course to unconciously attacking German people's mind with their belief.

Slowly but sure, Germans made this watching movie ritual their culture. Every weekends, everybody went to theaters to watch films made by the government. In addition, government ordered not to charge a nickle for Germans if they watch some spesific movies that recommended by the authority.

Magically, this strategy was succeded. In this era, almost every Germans believed in Nazi's doctrine. After that, the number of soldiers increased. Young Germans, male and female, enlisted to become soldiers. That was the way Nazi assemble their troops.

Nazi's tactic of using film as their main propaganda tool reached its goal: through film they had brainwashed people's thoughts.

German people believed in fascism and became its followers. They believed in its value without have to understand it deeply. Their mind-set changed without them knowing it.

On the other hand, Nazi didn't have to force their ideology. Instead, they were giving German people an entertainment.

From the example, we could see how strong film can change a way of thinking. This phenomena is related to Aristotle's theory of "Castration".

Aristotle concluded that human mind and soul are purified after they watched a play. Because there is always a representation of one's character and one's situation that is depicted in a play.

Looking at the element that a play and a film has, we could draw a conclusion that, today, the use of a film is much the same with the use of a play in the ancient time.

So, what have Indonesian film makers made? Nowadays, we could generally divide Indonesian movie into three genres: cheesy drama, cheesy horror, and cheesy sex-oriented movie.

The question is: are we Indonesians really dumb to think that those movies are worth to watch and good for our mental purification? Yes, we're all stupid.

The fact is local film makers are keep producing those three genres because the rating is very high, and it keeps getting higher every year. That indicates Indonesians love to watch those movie with those themes.

It is clear to see we're all enjoying this decrease. That's why we spend lots of money only to be morally blunt.

Ironically, none of them film-makers care about this condition. They only care about their pockets, and their apartments, and their cars, and their names. They only care about making money.

This situation has to change. History has given us lesson that there was a country which had reached its glory only by educating Her people with film (although the ideology is wrong).

With all the power a film has, local film makers are suppose to realize that they have a big role in building Indonesia. They can contribute in increasing Indonesians quality. But the question is: are they brave enough to become the real heroes, just like what Joseph Goebbels did to Germany?

To make them answer the question, we all have to be synical than before, when we talk about Indonesian movie. Are you with me on this?

The impacts from this condition are human, animal, and plant. The best ways for facing it can do by planting a million trees. This ways are for decreasing the pollution, to prevent the global warming, and to avoid the flood.

Firstly, Jakarta is the metropolitan city. There, the condition from morning to night always busy with vehicles which passed on the street. Because of there are a business people every day who have many activities. The pollution will be increased. It caused, there is a smoke from the vehicle which spread to all place then make breathing of people will be disturbing, For example, if there is a big rain especially in Jakarta. In fact, it caused on the street has happens the traffic jam in every where. All of vehicles are stopped then from the vehicles to produces many smoke that make people were disturbing. The other example is if there is a factory near house. It is really disturbing the people there, because their freshness are disturbed. Because of the smoke is really danger and this condition is really damages of people breathing and health.

The conditions of people near the factory are disturbed. Especially for people, if their house near the factory, sometimes they don’t feel comfortable with the condition and it can make their health will be disturbed, they must to be planted the flower or little plants at house for decreasing the pollution. Then their house become fresh and protected.

Secondly, people who lived in the big city, actually they don’t have to be patient with the condition around them.

It will make the condition in Jakarta is crowded. The other example is an illegal logging. It is the bad something that make the environment will be broken. It caused there are people have not to be responsible to the environment. Therefore, we must to planting a million trees for creating the good environment.

Avoid Junk Food

A modern life style in this globalization era encourages us to choose a simple ways to do everything in our life. Start from what we are wearing should be simple as comfortable as we can, or what kind of food that we want to eat in daily. Every people better choose a simple thing than choose a hard or complicated thing for their life.

People in this time usually eat something with label quick-serve-foods. A usual food such as instant noodles, hamburger, hotdog, fried chicken, nugget, and another kinds that ready-to-serve restaurant give to sells it for us. Or we can call it with a familiar name which is not on a strange words ‘Junk Food’, like everybody knows.

People always getting busy with their each daily activity such as work in the office with so much things they have to do until limited time called ‘deadline’, or a students and college students which too busy with their assignment. And an important thing like eat would become something forgettable and can easily to get. They think that they can easily to find out every restaurant which sells a Junk Food, and not too much time that they can spend. Going out to Junk Food restaurant that we can find everywhere, choose our favorite menu, order it, and then a food that we order, get on our hands only in a twenty minutes or less.

How easy our life in this time isn’t it? And we are going to say so much thank for Junk Food that can makes our life more easier than eat something with so many steps before we can eat that.

But several months or years later, we are often getting illness and find out several dangerous disease stuck in our body because to much and often eat Junk Food. Or maybe a dangerous disease like cancer can attack us only if we stay to always consume a Junk Food every time.

From the first appearance of Junk Food, we can see a yummy and delicious food for ready to eat with so many kind that can makes us interest to eat that. But actually, isn’t a healthy food for us especially for people who dislike to do some Sport and don’t have so much time for Sport.

Junk Food also has a negative thing for our health because there are so many preservative and artificial flavorings on the ingredients. Or Junk Food in restaurant with a hot degree Celsius after cook from the oven. It also bad for our body because can makes symptoms of cancer. And it will become unhealthier if we don’t like to eat vegetables or fruits or never take a sport. We can feel our body getting not fresh and easier to getting tired and sick because too much eat Junk Food everyday.

For several countries, Junk Food becomes banished from list healthy food. They didn’t allow people to consume Junk Food very often. Because it can makes people attack by bad illness or disease that can disturbing their life. And another one country, America. We can see there is so many Junk Foods’ restaurant such as Wendy, McDonalds, and anything else. But a people there make it balance to always consume a vegetables and fruit in a routine. And of course they like to do some fun sports everyday, or drink a vitamin and milk.

It is totally different from Indonesian people who often consume Junk Food but seldom to consume a vegetables, fruits, vitamin, milk, and take some sport. So, it is become possible if people who always eat Junk Food will getting more illness than a people who eat Junk Food but make it balance with consume a healthy food and do sport.

People always thought that eat Junk Food are not something bad things because they never feel something bad happen in their body. They still fell really healthy on this moment. But we never know what will be happen in our age later. Maybe there is so many disease will waiting for disturbing our healthy life only because we eat Junk Food.

For short time, we never feel Junk Food as a dangerous thing. But in long time later, we can see what will happen to us especially for our healthy life. So, it is good for us to minimize consume a Junk Food from now

Traffic Jam in Jakarta

Traffic jam in Jakarta is one of several problems that have not been solved yet by the government until nowadays. The main cause is the number of transportation. Reducing the use of private vehicle, such as car or motorcycle, and lack of attention from the local governor are problems that must be considered by every people to reduce congestion in Jakarta.

The number of people in Jakarta is very anxious due to traffic congestion in Jakarta and surrounding areas which is getting worse. Even the highway that is used to free us from traffic jam really hampers our way because of the car everywhere. This circumstance can hinder the activities of road users. It can waste our time and money because we can be stuck for hours and it can exhaust the fuel which is very expensive now.

By reducing the use of private vehicle, it really can help to decrease sticking everywhere, especially in metropolitan district like Jakarta. But this problem is very difficult to be realization because of many families that is more emphasizing their importance than mutual interest. Not infrequently the families that have more than one car, even a single head of household has one car. If in one family have five family members, imagine if those five cars out of all to the road.

We are as road users in Jakarta should be aware that the congestion that happens now has been getting worse. Therefore, decrease the use of private cars, or at least one car containing three persons. This way really sounds very trivial, but if many people and families do this way, the impact would be large and clearly visible.

Not only reduce the use of cars, motorcycle riders also should realize that they can disturb other road users, such as car drivers or pedestrian, if they ride it. Usually, motorcycle riders are sloppier and undisciplined in the used of the road than car drivers because the riders think that motorcycle is smaller than car, so they can easily overtake other vehicles, especially cars. The worst thing is when we get traffic jam, consider the situation around us, then we can see that that there are so many riders who pass the side walk for pedestrian, even pass the way of Trans Jakarta.

Besides reducing the use of private vehicle, such as car or motorcycle, attention from the government, principally the local governor, should take part in this very serious problem. It is because that in fact, the government and the governor have not acted decisively yet to this issue, and they can only blame road users. They do so because they do not feel what others feel. Wherever they go, they are always escorted by police, so they never felt hitting by traffic jam.

Actually, we should be able to follow other countries, for instance Germany. It is one of automaker countries, but Germans rarely out of their house or go to work by car. It is because its local government set very expensive charge for parking fees. Of course it makes people there think twice to take the car out of their house, and they prefer to use public transportation, like bus or train, than private car. That problem is very contrast to Indonesia; the cost of parking here is very cheap, about Rp. 1.000 per-hour. Therefore car drivers feel pampered by the government to use the car.

Another case is less attention from the local governor to public transportation facilities, especially bus and train. It is one of reasons why people prefer driving cars or riding motorcycle to get on the bus or train. The pubic transportations here, particularly in Jakarta, are pretty awful if it is compared with public transportation in Japan, for instance. The government of Japan notice to it in order to people there feel as comfort as possible.

Reducing the use of private vehicle may be difficult for nowadays because they do not want to use public transportation, such as bus and train, before the government repair the facilities of them. So, we as the citizens must give confirmation to the government and local governor to take action against this problem. And, we are also no need to wait the command from governor, just self-consciousness.
