But if you like Full Metal Jacket, I got my hands on one of the clips of the bootleg version. It's just like the actual film but with a little bit of something

Don't mind the thumbnail, the creator said that it's to hide from copyright

I heard the clips aren't public yet (woah! 😱😱), but thankfully I got the hands on one of them. They're just like the same film but with.. more dramatic scenes

Being sweet shouldn't equal that a man is gay, let men and people in general be sweet without bringing their sexuality.

As someone who kept on being called a lesbian just for being sweet to my friends, it feels terrible. It shouldn't matter what sex I feel attracted to, my personality is not a sexuality for you to guess.

You wouldn't call Johan fruity if it wasn't for the movie adaptation, you wouldn't find Rodrick handsome if they never cast Devon Bostick. You're not funny for doing this, you're just terrible and expect everything to cater your needs.

I'll tell you something, every single person that has watched the movie Oereog and calls Johan and Oeroeg gay and should be a couple, doesn't actually watch the movie. They never talk about Lida, Valerie, Oereog's female counterpart, Twan, van Bergen Henegouwen, Deppoh (Oereog's father), the Major, Rita, Hendrik (Johan's father)

They forgot about how Kebon Djati is dangerous, forgot about Twan's death and his relationship with Rita, forgot about how Lida is secretly working for the Indonesians, forgot about Johan being captured, forgot about Hendrik's death, forgot about Deppoh, forgot about the social hierarchy, forgot about the fact that Johan and Oeroeg blamed each other for both of their father's death

The fact that Johan searched for Oeroeg everywhere only because he thought he was the one that killed his father, he didn't even think of Oeroeg as a friend at first, even though they spent so much time together as a child. Oeroeg literally means "going home", because Johan would soon leave Oeroeg without being able to spend time as reunited friends together. They even barely said "sorry"

I have watched it before, so I get to judge on what's wrong with this film. First of all, what's wrong with the actors? Why does it seem like they look more like Hitler's aryans than actual Dutch soldiers?

They don't look accurate, Johan shouldn't be from Limburg and look like that. Besides, how is his last name "de Vries" yet he isn't Frisian (or lived close to Friesland)? He looks like he's from South Holland instead of from Limburg. Why is he allowed to have curly hair and isn't smoothed out? That's not how it works, making hair neater actually prevents lice, yet Jim Taihuttu doesn't know that.

Second of all, barely any soldiers would cheer when you say "Soekarno, we'll come to get you!", these men came from the Netherlands with little understanding of what are they doing right now. This means they wouldn't shout shit about people they don't know. And the Major (or officer) would not talk about Soekarno, he'll just play a propaganda film and expect you to know what you're doing.

Gita shouldn't be Johan's awakening. She's a horrible character, not because she's a prostitute. But because she's the stereotype that all native women exist solely for the pleasure of Dutch men, a temptress that lead men to a place of no return. That's why she's bad, and the fact that they made her date Johan whilst getting married to an Indonesian man is so stupid.

Besides, Johan is literally using her. All the interaction I see is when Johan have sex with her, Johan talks, Johan have sex with her again because he need to get his pent up frustration out, and them just walking. It's not good, it's stupid, it's terrible. Even Johan (Oeroeg 1993) and Rita had more depth even though they aren't even in love with each other. This is just how terrible their relationship dynamic is, it's forced and stereotypical.

Why is Raymond Westerling black? He's anything but black and skinny, he's not even skinny. He's fat, light skinned, and doesn't even have a moustache! They're choosing the wrong actors for no reason, they're trying to get us mad so badly. And when they join the special forces, oh you can't be serious. They don't need to be BALD. It looks terrible, and the Dutch special forces aren't bald.

The uniforms.. Oh the uniforms. So inaccurate, feels like you're watching a fan made version of Oeroeg but with no Indonesian friend, no sad Dutch man, no kind nurse, basically nothing and replaced the nurse with some prostitute. Especially the special forces, they look like Nazis. They look like the NSB instead of KNIL, they're making them look bad on purpose. It's like watching a film and expecting them to be what promised, yet it looks like this. Scummy, misleading. And even won cases against actual Dutch veterans.

Imagine having a film that you resonate with so deeply just to be turned bad by the wrong person that doesn't even watch the film. This somehow happened to Oeroeg, someone looked at a sad, war film depiction of the novel Oeroeg and thought "This is a gay dutch film"

First of all, I don't care if you are a queer, a this, a that. Second of all, there isn't any depiction of queer things in this film. Just like how they even said "And they might live happily in Kebon Djati", when the film stated that Kebon Djati is a dangerous place to visit, especially if you're Dutch. It's where Johan's dad got shot, for God's sake!

It really shows when someone actually watch / read the media, and one that doesn't yet decided to make things up. It's not funny, it's just wrong and misleading. People would think Oeroeg is a gay film and decided to watch it only to realise there isn't anything related to being gay or queer and feel dissapointed.

"This song is about promises, love and cherish" And then it's actually an AI song that has nothing to do with love at all. Just like when some chips packaging said "20% more than usual" and it's the same amount as the normal one. It's a scam, it's misleading.

There's also children like Billy and Jane, but it will all just be a dream for both of them. Billy will never be able to command a plane, Jane will never be able to assist passengers properly.

I see women from my country marry Americans, Germans, Russians, and especially Dutch. Big or small, young or old, rich or poor, with hair or without hair. I see them at malls, at supermarkets, at bakeries, on TV, everywhere. Living their lives for better or for worse. Jennifer Coppen, Nia Lathif, Lina Mukherjee, Jennifer Christie, Qifa, Aprilia, you name it.

I would look at them and say "Hey! I also like Dutch men, is that how my future looks like? So cool!". I had planned everything. How and where will we meet each other for the first time, how will we hang out as friends and then confessing, the first date, second, third, happy together, the skies won't feel blue for my whole life, it's everything I need.

I had a good personality, smart, hard working, kind, understanding, empathic, pretty. They say now Indonesian girls are "easy to get", but I'm not. I have my own standards, I kept my dignity when others throw them away for a night with a foreigner.

But there's no place for people like me, not here, not anywhere. I cannot do something without getting stares, I don't even know if I'm doing something out of the ordinary.

Most people think that being highly functional means that I dont need any support. Even worse, people don't even know if I am or I am not. All they see is that I'm smart and definitely have a good future.

Yet, nobody understand anything I say, it's as if I'm talking gibberish. They don't understand that I cannot work like the average person, I have my own problems and I need support. But they will kept on forcing me, to force myself into being the person they want me to be. They don't understand me, they never will.

Some of y'all old men over here can't even digest the topic I'm talking about

"But you use the tag #older man younger girl" Yeah? Wim Liebers and I, not random old guy and I

"Then why do you use #hot older man" Wim Liebers is hot, random tumblr older guys arent

Why Dutch music now is all about disco, party, boring pop genre, no fun, no actual sadness. Music festivals are supposed to look more than just DJ and disco lights
