Gie


Indonesia 2005

Details imdb

Seen 6 Dec 2011











That awkward age when we're in transition
Escaping from childhood
Entering adulthood
The youth influenced by others, not yet an independent soul
This youth is different

He ponders, concludes and influences
The writings inspire others
He himself aspires for another life
A more balanced, equitable order for everyone
Not the lopsided present

The life he leads is not without its ups and downs
He as other youths of the day
Have other interests
Which sometimes puts a break on his plans
He soldiers on, struggles
Relentless, idealistic, not knowing whether he will succeed

Not just in pursuing his dream
But to lead a life that he wants
Not just for himself
But for others who look up to him

He of that generation, bright eyed
Didn't know or refuse to know that
Others have different ideas
Others want to use that generation, the youth
For their own goals

The youth will be the conduit
The face of the movement
A movement that might not be true to the ideals
That started it all
