Interpretation of Denias Senandung di Atas Awan - The Movie

for everyone

! phew finally my internet works properly. But I shall instal everything, oh my!! from Skype, even I don't use that often only for language learning purposes, my YM, and everything. On Sundays, I watched a movie on TV about a boy, who lives in a remote area in Papua. There is no such thing of schools in remote areas in Papua. Schools aren't considered being the most important things in life. You life, you grow up for your tribe, your family, that's all that matter. ( Siapa aja yang dari Papua, kasih tahu kalu salah ya.)

Denias, the Papuan boy, has strong will to "break" the old tradition that says the boy in remote areas life for his tribe, and family; he wants to achieve career, he wants to go to school to study. He struggles to get ahead in life, to be accepted in a school. This story is based on a true story of Papuan boy, who is now has successful life, and good education.

This movie, to some people, is considered idealistic, hmm, I skip the question whether or not it is.

Apart from the story, I like the settings, which take place in a remote area in Papua; so beautiful. In one of the photos, you can see rainbow, right? This reminds me of the rainbow I saw here in Surabaya a couple days ago after a short rain. Sadly! I did not take my dcam with me.

I don't want to spill the bean, but some lines in the movie are indeed funny ( well according to Indonesians) - as I have written somewhere in this blog that comedy is interpreted differently by people, especially those who don't share the same languages.
