The moral message in the film "Daun Di Atas Bantal"

 



"Daun di Atas Bantal" is an Indonesian drama film directed by Garin Nugroho, released in 1998. The title translates to "Leaf on a Pillow" in English. The movie is renowned for its poignant portrayal of the harsh realities faced by street children in Jogjakarta Indonesia. The narrative revolves around the daily struggles and dreams of these impoverished children who try to make a living by selling items like leaves and flowers on the streets.

The relevance of the moral message conveyed in "Daun di Atas Bantal" remains significant in addressing societal issues that persist not only in Indonesia but also on a global scale.


                                Eat like a dog

In this scene, Heru is seen eating by not using a spoon but by bringing his face closer to his plate (like an animal when eating).From here we can see what life is like for street children before experiencing the educational table evenly.


Male attitudes that are not appropriate for women.

 In this scene, Asih is seen spitting on her husband's face using chili peppers that were previously put into her mouth. This scene happened after Asih's husband beat Sugeng who defended Asih who was being beaten by her husband.

and From this scene we can also see how Gender Equality between Men and Women at that time was still underestimated by some people who did not understand the importance of Gender Equality.


Jogjakarta's Myths

This scene is the scene when Sugeng succeeds in taking offerings from the mountain at the Grebeg traditional ceremony. In this scene Sugeng's belief in the myth that the offerings bring good luck as an implied meaning that wants to show the charisma and greatness of the sultanate of Jogja which is able to make all its citizens (the people of Jogja) believe and uphold its teachings and myths.
Behind the traditional event "Gerebek Syawal" there is also a deep implied meaning. Because when the Syawal Gerebek event starts, all people of different religions can and are allowed to take part in the Gerebek event without restrictions. From here we can glean a meaning of life about "The Beauty of Difference in Diversity".

Perspective that must be corrected

The good side of 'punk' kids
In this scene, we can see the attitude of 'punk' children who can orderly follow the course of the ceremony, which of course contrasts with their image of being rude, troublemakers, and unable to obey.
From this scene we have to change our perspective of thinking in seeing someone. Seeing from this scene, "Heru" as a punk kid can take part in the traditional "Gerebek Syawal" event with wisdom where we can say that his educational background is different from today.
