Soekarno (Soekarno: Indonesia Merdeka)

COMMUNIST IS GREAT

RESIDENCE OF DR. SOEJOEDI HEAD OF NATIONALIST PARTY OF CENTRAL JAVA

There are a lot of policemen outside. -What? Police?

Get up quickly.

Go to the kids' room. -Yes, honey.

Bung Karno!

Bung Gatot! Bung Karno! The police are here!

Many of them, Bung!

Come on, hurry!

Bung Karno, hurry up!

Hurry up!

What's going on?

Turn around!

How are you, Mr. Soejoedi?

You can't search my house like this without any search warrant.

Where is Soekarno?

I don't know.

Liar!

If you make this difficult, I'll arrest you, Mr. Soejoedi.

Where is Soekarno?

I'm here.

Ir. Soekarno, in the name of the Queen, we arrest you.

Take him!

EAST JAVA, 1912

RESIDENCE OF RADEN SOEKEMI SOSRODIHARDJO

It's been almost two months, and Kusno's fever won't go away.

I'm worried, honey.

What should we do?

Just let him be.

Be patient.

Leave it to the Almighty God.

For these past two months, I've been doing this ritual.

Sleep under Kusno's bed.

I hope that his sickness will shift to me.

It's all right, come on. Let's go to sleep.

Let him be.

Kusno is now 11 years old.

Since his health does not show any improvement...

That is why this morning

I would like to purify him and change his name.

I have a suggestion, Mr. Soekemi.

How about we change it to Bima?

May God Bless him...

Kusno is not a name like Bima of the Pandava Family.

But there is a powerful knight that could match the Pandava Family.

His name is the Great Karno.

Therefore, I have given a new name for Kusno...

Soekarno.

Yes.

I hope this new name

can turn Soekarno into a powerful person.

Just like the Great Karno.

PALENEH ALLEY, SURABAYA 1920

RESIDENCE OF HAJI COKROAMINOTO, CHAIRMAN OF SAREKAT ISLAM

Damn it! Those Dutch people act as they wish.

Look at this!

Take away our rice, sugarcane and wheat whenever they want.

What kind of nonsense is this?

And then, what's left, Cak Muso?

All that is left is poverty.

Until the end of the time, we will suffer. Do you understand?

Become slaves in our own country. What's that?

Kartosuwiryo! -Yes?

Come here!

I want you to go to the market to buy some sugar, coffee, and gendar.

We will have some important guests from Yogyakarta and Jombang.

Kyai Hasyim and Kyai Dahlan, sir?

Yes, here's the money.

Go now.

Soekarno, are you a Marxist?

Yes, and I'm a Muslim.

Karl Marx and the Islam defend the lower class.

Because you're from the lower class, right?

They're my family, Mien.

It's so nice!

You're so talented!

Give me back my slipper!

Come on!

Excuse me, Mr. Soekemi.

Please, Mrs. Sahen.

I told you to study, not go out like this!

You use my bicycle!

Kusno, are you sure that you want to propose to her?

You're not even the Governor's son.

Trust me.

The problem is, will her father accept you?

Don't call me Soekarno if I can't make the Dutch surrender.

Bullshit!

I'll return the suit tomorrow, okay?

It will be clean...

Yes, what are you doing here?

Get out.

You're locals! Get out!

Do you realize that you're local?

You are not allowed to get close to my daughter, Mien!

Why?

What did I do wrong, sir?

You're different from us.

You may wear the same clothes as the Dutch,

but you're still not from our class.

Get out of here!

You! Come here!

Take him out.

Take him out!

Take him out! -Papa! No!

Mien! No!

I can go out on my own.

Mien!

Soekarno!

Soekarno! -Mien!

No! -Get out!

I love her!

We are masters!

Masters of our own land!

The Dutch are just tenants!

They are afraid of us!

Why do we have to bow? Kneel? Crawl?

Being a slave to those foreigners?

What for?

What's that?

We have to stand up straight!

Stand up straight to fight them!

To fight those Dutch!

Kusno!

I heard from Kartosuwiryo,

you have started to learn how to make a speech, have you?

Yes, sir.

That's good, Kusno.

A leader has to be able to capture the people's hearts.

The people, Kusno, are as mysterious as the universe.

But, if you are capable of capturing their hearts,

they will definitely follow you.

My brothers and sisters!

How long will we be in darkness?

Living only to enjoy our dreams, without any efforts to make them reality!

Who will respect a nation that looks like cows and buffalos?

Nobody!

Who? -Nobody!

Nobody!

Being forced to work nonstop...

The flesh is being eaten...

The blood is being sucked!

Is that what you want?

No! -You want that?

No!

My brothers and sisters,

let's become the masters of ourselves.

Long live Cokro!

SPIRIT OF SAREKAT ISLAM

CONDEMNED! SATAN AND COLONIALISTS

LONG LIVE MARHAENISM

Long live Soekarno!

YOUNG INDONESIAN BULL!

INP INDONESIAN NATIONAL PARTY

Our land is rich.

But why are we always starving?

Everywhere we can see skinny bodies full of sickness.

Why, brothers and sisters?

We don't know!

This is because

the Dutch exploit our wealth without giving us our fair share.

We are oppressed by the colonial system.

Are you going to let it happen?

No!

Are you going to let it happen?

No!

This is the time to show them who we are. Shout!

Mr. Imperialist, we are going to fight you

for your behavior towards our people and our land.

We have to fight!

Prisoners from Yogyakarta.

PRISON OF BANCEUY, BANDUNG 1929

Soekarno!

Soekarno Mangkoepradja! -Get in!

Get in!

Soepriadi! -Get in!

Any clothes that are suitable for me?

I'm not a thief.

Communist rebels like you are the same as thieves.

I'm not a Communist.

No matter, you are still a thief!

Mrs. Inggit!

Mrs. Inggit!

RESIDENCE OF INGGIT GARNASIH, SUKARNO'S SECOND WIFE

Mrs. Inggit!

What is it?

Your husband was arrested in Yogya.

Mrs. Inggit?

Take this.

If you need anything, just let me know.

Okay. -Thank you.

This is how we support Bung Karno.

SUPPORT! BUNG KARNO

It's nice.

I hope this is enough to help you.

Okay, thank you.

We will support Soekarno wholeheartedly.

Excuse us!

Respected judges,

your court has accused us of a serious crime.
