Reality and brutal criticism of the issues of violence and morality that exist in the Indonesian environment.

About a teacher named Edwin who searches for his sister's child, who was raped. It's set in a dystopian era with riots everywhere. Inspired by the racist riots against the Chinese in 1998.The visuals are quite impressive, with Jokan's graphic, gory scenes. From beginning to end, we see slashings, stabbings, and burnings-all of them fantastically brutal. Personally, I was watching it with a shiver of joy and wincing.Personally, i expected plenty of action. However, the transitions between the stories felt slow, and many of my expectations felt unfulfilled. Even so, Jokan managed to deliver another jaw-dropping ending.In the end, this film successfully depicts and critiques all forms of racial issues that have occurred in Indonesia and also portrays the deplorable morality of schoolchildren. Whether it's violence or offensive language (ajg, bgst, ngentot)-it's all truly present here.Anyway, keep this up, Bang Jokan!

Good plot. Good acting. Excellent social commentary

I am from Europe so I was not aware of the Indonesian riots of 1998. This movie opened my eyes to the atrocities commited during that time and shows what humans are capable of when they are driven to the edge of sanity. I would recommend people read up on the riots and watch some actual footage of it as well.The movie itself was done very well. Brilliant acting by the main lead and the antagonist. The female lead was good as well. Plot was very good and the movie was paced well. Excellent directing. I will definitely watch more Indonesian movies now.To the people trying to bury the atrocities of 1998 and not wanting to be reminded of it, remember people who forget the mistakes of their past are destined to repeat them in the future.
