Don't forget to stop by IndonesianPod101.com for more great Indonesian Language Learning Resources! -------Lesson Dialog------- ----Formal ---- Pengkhianatan G30S-PKI (1984) Kalaulah ada satu film yang besar yang mungkin sudah ditonton oleh seluruh penduduk Indonesia, maka film itu adalah Pengkhianatan G30s-PKI atau sering disebut bebas sebagai Film PKI. Pengkhianatan G30S-PKI adalah film propaganda semi dokumenter produksi resmi pusat perfilman negara yang ceritanya ditulis oleh Nugroho Notosusanto (seorang ahli sejarah dan Menteri Pendidikan Kebudayaan) dan disutradarai oleh sutradara terkenal Arifin C Noer. Film yang dirilis tahun 1984 ini adalah interpretasi resmi versi pemerintah tentang peristiwa sejarah yang terjadi pada malam 30 September dan pagi 1 Oktober 1965 di Jakarta. Pada saat-saat genting ini, pergolakan politik di Indonesia mencapai puncaknya yang kemudian berujung pada pergantian rezim dari Soekarno ke Soeharto. Sebenarnya ada beberapa penafsiran tentang peristiwa pada malam 30 September 1965. Pihak Orde Baru di bawah pimpinan Soeharto mengatakan bahwa Partai Komunis Indonesia atau PKI melakukan percobaan kudeta yang kemudian digagalkan oleh Soeharto sendiri. Tafsiran inilah yang digunakan sebagai dasar cerita film. Film ini terdiri dari tiga bagian. Pada bagian pertama digambarkan keadaan Indonesia menjelang peristiwa G30S yang diwarnai dengan pertentangan antara elemen masyarakat, partai politik dan kalangan militer. Digambarkan juga kemiskinan yang tersebar di mana-mana dan Presiden Soekarno yang sakit-sakitan. Untuk mengantisipasi keadaan dan mengingat persaingan terbuka antara militer dan PKI, dalam film ini dikisahkan bahwa pimpinan PKI merencanakan operasi militer yang disebut Gerakan 30 September atau G30S. Operasi militer yang dimaksud adalah penculikan dan pembunuhan pucuk pimpinan tertinggi militer dan pengambilalihan tempat-tempat strategis nasional. Penculikan dan pembunuhan para jendral menjadi bagian kedua dan inti film ini. Bagian ini ditampilkan secara vulgar dan didramatisir sedemikian rupa hingga menimbulkan kesan dan kebencian mendalam penonton kepada para pelakunya. Pada bagian ketiga digambarkan bagaimana jendral Soeharto meredam gerakan dan memulihkan keadaan. Bagi rezim Orde Baru yang tengah berkuasa saat itu, film ini menjadi media propaganda yang efektif untuk menuturkan cerita versi mereka. Rezim mewajibkan penduduknya menonton dan diharapkan penonton mempercayai peristiwa G30S versi pemerintah. ----Formal English---- The Betrayal of the September 30th Movement by the Indonesia Communist Party (1984) If there is one movie that may have been watched by all Indonesian people, then that would be the Pengkhianatan G30S-PKI, or what is often loosely referred to as the PKI movie. It is a semi-documentary propaganda movie officially produced by the National Center of Motion Pictures whose story was written by Nugroho Notosusanto (a historian and then the Minister of Education and Culture) and directed by then a famous director, Arifin C. Noer. The movie that was released in 1984 is an official version of government interpretation about the historical event that took place on the night of September 30 and the morning of October 1, 1965, in Jakarta. During this critical time, political turmoil in Indonesia culminated and ended with a regime changed from Soekarno to Soeharto. Actually, there are several versions of what happened on the night of September 30, 1965. The New Order Regime under the leadership of Soeharto stated that the event was a coup attempt orchestrated by the Indonesia Communist Party (ICP), which was then quelled by Soeharto himself. This interpretation is used as a basis for the movie. The movie consists of three main parts [...]

Don't forget to stop by IndonesianPod101.com for more great Indonesian Language Learning Resources! -------Lesson Dialog------- ----Formal ---- Tahun Baru di Indonesia Penanggalan di Indonesia mengadopsi kalender Gregorian sehingga bangsa Indonesia merayakan Tahun Baru bersamaan dengan mayoritas warga dunia, yaitu tanggal 1 Januari. Akan tetapi, kemeriahan justru ada di tanggal 31 Desember. Perayaan Tahun Baru di Indonesia sangatlah meriah. Ada banyak cara untuk melewatkan pergantian tahun. Salah satunya adalah dengan mengikuti Gala Dinner bertema Old and New di hotel-hotel berbintang lima. Untuk datang ke acara ini, orang harus membayar mahal. Di acara ini biasanya orang bisa makan dan minum sajian istimewa, dihibur oleh artis Ibukota, dan melewatkan pergantian tahun dengan bersulang bersama tamu-tamu lain. Biasanya orang mengenakan pakaian yang bagus dan formal untuk datang ke acara ini. Orang Indonesia suka bergadang pada masa pergantian tahun dan memenuhi ruang publik seperti taman dan trotoar jalan-jalan besar. Mereka duduk berkelompok beramai-ramai sambil meniup terompet hias spesial tahun baru. Mobil dan motor berputar-putar keliling pusat kota dengan kecepatan rendah, dan beberapa membentuk konvoy. Biasanya jendela mobil dibuka lebar-lebar supaya bisa melihat dan dilihat. Beberapa tempat umum ada yang menawarkan atraksi kembang api. Biasanya orang sudah berkumpul di tempat itu sejak sore menunggu dengan sabar. Di Jakarta, di tempat semacam Ancol dan Taman Monas, jangan harap bisa dapat tempat yang bagus untuk melihat kembang api jika anda baru sampai jam 9 malam. Penjual terompet Tahun Baru panen besar malam itu. Terompet kertas pun dijual di mana-mana, di pinggir jalan maupun di tengah jalan. Di Bundaran Hotel Indonesia Jakarta kendaraan padat merayap mulai jam 9 malam. Akhirnya tukang terompet menghampiri mobil satu-satu untuk menawarkan dagangannya. Bagi orang-orang rumahan yang lebih suka melewatkan pergantian tahun di rumah saja, kemeriahan tahun baru bisa dinikmati lewat layar kaca. Semua acara di semua stasiun TV di Indonesia pada jam-jam ini merupakan tayangan istimewa yang dihadiri bintang-bintang tamu istimewa. Jadi bukan ide yang terlalu buruk untuk ngendon bersama keluarga dan teman di rumah waktu pergantian tahun. ----Formal English---- New Year in Indonesia Indonesia adopts Gregorian calendar that means people of Indonesia celebrate the New Year together with the majority of the world, namely every January 1st.
