Watching Eliana, Eliana is not like watching any other movie. It is not a 'blockbuster' like "Ada Apa Dengan Cina" but it deserves as much attention. It is more like a document, in which through the conflict situation between mother and daughter, we see what is happening in general in Indonesia today. The older generation: politicians, army and police have lost every touch with reality and the younger generation today. The same for Eliana's mother, who, living far away from Jakarta, has no idea about life in the 'big city'. It is not easy to sit through the whole movie, and especially the first part is a bit difficult to get through, but slowly you get fascinated by the relationship between the two, and their fullday trip by taxi. Finally, Eliana and her mother get closer, realising that though they are different in every possible way, they still have something in common. Not only Eliana, also Heni find her way back to reality and the moment that Heni decides to put out her sigarette in the small depressing hotelroom, is telling us something about Indonesia today. A country , where a young generation between 10-40 is destroying themselve with smoking, encouraged by tobacco companies and the government should realise like Heni, it is time to stop all this. Indonesian filmmakers have really impressed me these past two years. And I can't wait to see the two upcoming movies I saw announced at the cinema!
