A movie...

Forgot to mention - Saturday night went with 3 friends - Andy, Aldi, and Robi - to go see a movie -we'd wanted to see "Ghost Rider," but it was already out of the theaters, so they decided to see "World Trade Center" instead! The Oliver Stone flick. An interesting ethnographic experience really - a 1/4th full theater watching the somewhat silly dramatization, folks all over the theater answering cellphone sms messages and not particularly taken in by the movie. Afterwards, Andy and I thought it was okay, but Aldi thought it was too boring - there were even any terrorists in it, so no action! Absolutely no anti-Americanism or pro for that matter, it was really just a movie to them. It is amazing how distorted a view of Indonesia and particularly Islam circulates in the West...
