But the templates aren’t the worst part of this industry. The worst lies in its exploitation of the same people OVER AND OVER again.
Take “Baim”.
This cute little boy is the product of over exploitation of children within the Indonesian entertainment industry.
Is he a great actor? No. The Olsen Twins were waaaay better.
He speaks incoherently. I don’t even think they give him a script.
But they put him several sinetrons, such as Cinta SMU, Tarzan Cilik, and whats-yer-name sinetrons.
Cinta SMU was supposed to be teenager/ school life/ young love kind of soap, but Baim was introduced and I guess the ratings sky rocketed. Or maybe the director just thought he was cute.
Anyway, they turned Cinta SMU (High School Love) into Petualangan Baim (Baim’s Adventures). The funny thing is, they always pair him with Olga, this guy who screams slapstick in every sinetron and show that he’s ever contributed to. It’s not even good slapstick.
I feel sorry for the kid.
5 years from now you’re going to turn into another McCauley Culkin and then everyone will be blaming your parents for letting you taste fame and the entertainment industry so soon.
And then actresses like Nikita Willy, Naysilla Mirdad (her voice makes me want to staple those lips together) and all those other girls that get used over and over again. They only know one method of acting, and it involves a lot of pouting, crying, praying, and helplessness.
I’d love to go on but the list is endless. Indonesia’s entertainment industry needs to be saved soon before it brainwashes the entire country. Which gives me an idea for the next post. :)
