In Cirebon, Cecep is captivated by a beautiful female dancers who come from Kasepuhan Palace named Dewi (Arumi Bachsin) during the Cirebon Culture Carnival. Tit for tat, but the barrier comes from Surya (Ferry Ardiansyah), son of batik trader (Kadir), which likes Dewi also. Dewi’s mother also does not want her daughter to have a husband from poor families.
What seems like such a simple story of survival is so much more than that—it’s a story of family, and of war, and of destruction. It’s painful to watch, but not in a bad way. It makes its audience reflect on their own actions, and in how they are complicit in the sufferings of others as the adults in this film are. Grave of the Fireflies does not hold back from being heartbreaking, and it shouldn’t. It tells a message that needs to be heard decades after the war, and a story that cannot be forgotten by history.
All in all, 47 Meters Down: Uncaged is a film I would recommend. It promotes the bond of sisterhood, which in this case is clearly thicker than blood, as well as courage. No one truly knows how strong they are until they go through something unimaginable and come out changed for the better.
