New Film “Bumi Manusia” By Falcon Pictures
Blora – Soesilo Toer, brother of Bumi Manusia’s author Pramoedya Ananta Toer, shared his advice on the adaptation of Bumi Manusia to film with director Hanung Bramantyo.
Soesilo Toer wanted to remind the production team to really grasp the meaning of his brother’s work well. He said, “Bumi Manusia had a huge impact in relation to nationalism.”
“When you read the book, it’s not just a matter of the novel Bumi Manusia only, because it’s tied to our nation’s dignity, below the surface,” explained Soesilo Toer when news site Detik.com visited him at home.
Soesilo didn’t deny that for the majority of people who have only scratched the surface of the legendary novel ‘Bumi Manusia’, they’re going to praise the adaptation. But for those who have read the book and understood its deeper significance, they’re most probably going to be against its adaptation into a movie. (Read more from Falcon Pictures here.)

Dalam salah satu dari beberapa suratnya kepada saya, Pramoedya A Toer, menulis sepanjang 5 halaman (23/03/1986). Ia curhat macam2, terutama rasa kesepian dan kebosanan. Juga soal 1965.
Di akhir surat dia mengeluhkan tentang masyarakat yang "mengigau tentang kebudayaan asli". pic.twitter.com/Xnd8drDRL2
