because soccer is life



"You can not choose your team, it's given by God," said Antony Sutton, an Arsenal team who loves any more than he knew. I knew him 2 years and more understanding of how football has become part of one's identity. "As the blood is in this body, he would never go and I'll never give it up without a fight," said Mick from London Darnby man next-door neighbor whom I know as a true lover of Charlton.

Such was the man knows football, something called the game by many people but it is the identity for many more other people. "No one can mention the name of the inventor of football, because I'm sure the inventor is God himself," sighed Hugo Sanchez, soccer legends from Mexico about a game that has given extraordinary things in his life. "Fun to play soccer far more than anything," he emphasized 








"I love to death in Liverpool .... And I ... ... love Daisy," said Agus Purnomo Rangga on. Both are fictional character I created to capture our love of football into the film medium. I was not the first time around, because Julian Gilbey done through Rise of the Footsoldiers (2007), David Evans, through Fever Pitch (1997) Bruno Baretto through Casamento de Romeu e Julieta, O (2005) but of course that kept haunting title in the ears of the football enthusiast in Indonesi Football Factory (2004) Nick Love's work that continues to be regarded as a story of the zealots of the most hit with their lives.

Because I believe that football is our life, how we see life itself and how football can be a reflection of society. That's where all the ideas came from, from the things that are often considered small by many people, but it is a very large man by many others. I started this idea of a very simple premise, and may be similar to the premise as Nick Hornby wrote a very famous novel Fever Pitch (1992) "I love her like I love the 11 people on the football field,"

Ranggamone Larico was a fanatical Liverpool, his love for Liverpool than anything in this world. Like the other fanatics, Rangga also hate anyone who hates his team and never hesitate to violence, as was also done by many other fanatics in the world. There is nothing more than he understands about his favorite team and even the environment is just too crazy friends team football with the same background, except one ... Agus Purnomo endless kept telling Rangga "fanaticism that makes them so reckless, try not fanaticism, your li safe is it? "

But his life turned 360 degrees when he was moved to love Desi Love Purnamasari, big girls in Bandung environment Arsenal lovers. Parman a brother of the elder enough support among Arsenal. Desi big in life who adored blue worn by the Arsenal, the time devoted to supporting the team from Bandung. Since childhood continues invited by his brother who disagree almost 20 years of age, Desi loves Arsenal as his love for his family.

If then he fell in love with Rangga, Desi love the team never fade. Just like the love that seemed to Rangga her split with her love of the orange, Liverpool. Both opposition and bring them to the fact that both groups are the same party does not compromise on their differences. Conflict and hostility have mengkotakkan happened to them, as well as strictly religious man capable of separating the gap very strict.

Adaptation of Shakespeare's masterpiece Indonesian style football life is a portrait of how life most of us currently running. Passionate moves amid the chaos relationships that both parties used to be pillars of their life is a chaos, but .... Rangga and Daisy (the name I chose to replace Romeo and Juliet) chose to say "I love you to death," rather than surrender to the circumstances.

Romeo Juliet (2009) is the work of my long-third, after two documentaries which I made in honor of football and the fanatisnya. The Jak (2007) is an essay on the Jakarta and anxiety, The Conductors (2008) is an essay on leadership that continues is considered a crisis in this country. In the meantime, this third work I created as a tribute to the love and the strength of shaking.

"If only Shakespeare were alive, he would regret not making the cover like this movie," said Edmond Waworuntu, production designer Romeo Juliet when we were still in the stage of preparing for this film. For her story is an inner conflict of a man when he must choose between her love for a woman who was the team he loves and he is very gilai. I am myself very fond of the works of William Shakespeare, English poet who I think is always a straightforward can talk about turmoil, anxieties, questions and tragedy. "The story of Romeo & Juliet is a tragedy of love and cruelty difference," wrote The Guardian in England as Baz Luhrmann's version, Romeo + Juliet

At that time, some British art critics also briefly mentions that Baz did not adapt this legendary story well. "Only the British people who understand how Shakespeare should be described," of course refers to the country of origin Australia director who then leapt to the Moulin Rouge (2001). If Baz chose to be loyal to the plot, so I chose to be loyal to the plot and mengindonesiakan Membumikan and all the characters in my work.

In my hands, this classic story to be very local and Indonesia. I would shirk responsibility should be faithful to all the rules of the game complete with the use of Shakespeare's words poetic. I prefer to make all the dialogue into everyday sentences with the story setting is also very day-to-day. So I cast the second meeting of the legendary scene of this couple on the balcony, I changed the name of this pair with the same reason .... Indonesiaan sense to!

Then I bumikan also social class and conflicts that occur. Rich families rich Capulet and Montague families I change the social situation of our community with soccer as the main background. Be the Indonesian style of Romeo Juliet, a work which I hope one day can be a clue what's happening in our society today, the present situation which is supposed drawn from works of the existing cinema. "The situation of a society in an era, always recorded in the film that appeared in that time," said Usmar Ismail, the father of Indonesian cinema.

For me, fanaticism is the present situation is happening in our society. See how the attitudes of fanaticism have easily burn your soul to hate other groups, how well we look so different because what we believe is not the same as other people believe. See also, how the social and artistic life of our very limited because only a strong influence of fanaticism.

I am certainly not anti-fanaticism, because I believe that fanatical is a good, but if there is fanaticism in the heart it will be a very good thing, but if allowed to go out and intimidate other people, then we have the fanaticism that has the potential to become dangerous. On April 23, 2009, you can see my works about fanaticism .... Romeo Juliet.
