The number 2012 is becoming more and more popular these days. Most of us know the book, the rumors, and now the movie. From the first day it was played in cinemas, people were packed and willing to wait in long queues to get tickets.
We've heard that some Muslim organizations plan to ban this movie. They said it was a bad, cruel, unrealistic movie and could give panic attacks to those who watch it.
Really, what's wrong with them?
Didn't they say it's unrealistic? Yes, it is unrealistic, it's only a movie, it's fiction. People only watch it for fun! What about the horror or thriller movies in cinemas with blood spraying all over the place and people cutting each other limbs off, aren't they worse?
All my foreigner friends laughed when they heard about the ban. They think it's funny how a movie can cause such fear. This is really embarrassing: how a great country like Indonesia still has such narrow-minded religious leaders. We are religious people who believe in God and His plans for us are beautiful. So let's not make a fiction a big deal.
We all know this movie's another Hollywood box office blockbuster that entertains audiences with great special effects, amazing stereo sound, and a nice plot.
I'll go see it this evening.
