The film Blood and Meat tells of a journalist named Hanna (Estelle Linden) who meets Salim (Donny Alamsyah), a convict in a bank robbery case 14 years ago. Hanna meets Salim for the novel that Hanna is working on. Salim, who is declared to be serving a death sentence within 10 days, tries to remember the robbery he committed with Arya (Ario Bayu), Rahmat (Rangga Nattra), Borne (Tanta Ginting), and Fikri (Arnold Leonard).
There is not much dialogue throughout the film running. The flesh and blood focuses more on how a scene "speaks" with its capacity. This is quite a unique step considering that in Indonesia, films rarely attempt to emphasize dialogue through scenes. This is reinforced by the plot back and forth in the story, so there is no need to feel confused about the storyline.
Technically, the Flesh Blood film has good color grading and retrieval. The production design also deserves appreciation because of the neatness for each player. Don't forget the acting of this Indonesian Film Festival class player, the five main players play a balance with each other. Especially when the five of them started their actions as bank robbers.
It's just that some of the scenes in the Blood Meat film look less natural and often make the story wordy. Shoots that should be sufficient from one side look redundant by repeating the scene from the other side. In fact, there was one scene that was accidentally leaked, and it was an important scene from the film Flesh Blood.
Blood and Meat does not only emphasize the fighting side, but according to the title, Blood and Meat also presents a love story between children and parents. Even though the extent and difficulty of the situation, parents are people who are able to support the difficulties themselves. The film Blood and Meat can be watched on the big screen starting December 5, 2019.
