Coklat Stroberi

Coklat Stroberi is an Indonesian gay-themed movie.  Api!!!!!! While I was watching it, I was feeling very furious!!!!!!!! Want to really hantam that male actor. Okay first i will "copy-paste" the short synopsis of the film.

"Coklat Stroberi is an Indonesian teenage drama comedy. The two characters, Key and Citra, are best friends. They are living together in rented house in Jakarta. They are students with part time jobs. Family financial problems causes Key to fail paying this year’s rent. Mrs. Ratna, the landlady, finally decided to include of her friends’ sons, Nesta and Aldi, to share with Key and Citra in order to help the girls with the rent money. Their presence has brought a new color to Key and Citra’s life. But, Nesta and Aldi kept with them a secret."  (Wikipedia)

Now back to discussion, I doubt any of you will watch the movie as it is in Indonesian language. So there will be a lot of spoiler. Some of the scene did somehow reflects on certain lives of gay in the society. So i will write down some of the issue in the film.

1. Nesta and Aldi are gay couples since their secondary school and had been together for 2 years. Nesta is a typical good-looking hunk played by Nino Fernandez while Aldi is the twinky and a bit effeminate played by Marrio  Merdhithia. Nesta want to stay discreet but Aldi don't mind if their relationship is known by others.

2. Key fell in love with Nesta and Nesta found out that he also liked her. He kissed her despite having relationship with Aldi..... no loyalty in gay relationship???

3. Citra considered Aldi as her boyfriend candidate after he helped her in cooking. She tried to seduce him numerous time but also curious about his sexuality after few phone call made by Aldi. Eventhough she failed to be his girlfriend, she help to matchmake Aldi and her boss in the later part of the movie. Aldi, Citra and Key become besties.

4. Nesta questioned about their future with Aldi - what is the outcome of their relationship, will they get married? Nesta also questioned about going public with Aldi, can they ever hold hands in campus area. Nesta also mentioned that their relationship is a mistake made by young people. Nesta also mentioned that Aldi as being naive for believing their relationship can last. Nesta mentioned that the gay relationship has no future.
Grrrrrr in the whole movie, I wonder how many times I cursed that character. He is a jerk!!!!!! #$%^&^%$#@@#

5. Acceptance by family. Aldi come out of closet with his parents. His father kena asthma attack. His mother however asked him to rethink back his statement but there is chances that she is ready to accept him as he is.

6. On Nesta relationship with Key. Nesta explained the reason he chose Key over Aldi is because he loved her instead of afraid on community view on homosexuality. I can't forgive his conversation

"Within these 2 years, you also can sensed my confusion on our relationship. However when I met Key, I know the feeling is real. I hope you will understand and can remain as my friend, no matter what you choose for your life next time" 

Grrrrrr I really want to cekik him. If you say confuse for few months okay, but, staying together with another guy who loved you so much for 2 years then ditched him for another girl and asked him to be friend after the betrayal. Grrrrrrrr really want to cekik him.

In this movie, I like Citra's role the best. She is matured and open. She is friendly and smart. She don't have the prejudice toward gay people and is quite supportive toward Aldi. I want a bestie like her. Few scenes where she make up kao kao yet Aldi dun show any interest. hahahaha, really funny,

The movie is available in Youtube. I will put 1 of the episode here.Hope you will watch the movie (which I doubt). Oh ya there are scene where Nesta only wear boxer in the living room.
