10 Portraits of Iqbaal Ramadhan Reveal the Depth of His Role as an Older Brother in the Film 'PERAYAAN MATI RASA': Lessons in Empathy and Family Communication

In the film "Perayaan Mati Rasa", Iqbaal Ramadhan faces a great challenge in portraying Ian Antono, an eldest child, even though he is not the first child himself. This role led him to understand the responsibilities and perspectives of an older brother.

Iqbaal initially struggled while reading the script. "I’m being honest, the first time I read the script, I really disliked Ian," he said. However, he eventually delved into Ian's character and learned the importance of empathy and communication within a family.

"I’m being honest, the first time I read the script, I was really annoyed with Ian. I was like, why is it like this?" said Iqbaal at a press conference in Jakarta on Thursday. This feeling arose because Ian's decisions seemed difficult to accept at first.

Iqbaal explained that over time he began to understand the complexity of Ian's character. "When I started to research, delve deeper, and finally could enter into the world of Ian Antono's thoughts and feelings, I was like, 'Oh, it makes sense what Ian chose'," he revealed.

This character deepening process gave Iqbaal a new perspective on the importance of empathy in family relationships. He learned to understand the perspective of the eldest child who has to face various responsibilities.

Iqbaal hopes this film serves as a reminder to maintain communication within the family. "Communication must always be maintained because we, the younger ones, may feel we have a long time, but we won't always have our parents," he said.

Director and actor Umay Shahab also shared his experience playing Uta, Ian's younger sibling. He recounted, "While working on this role, coincidentally my younger sibling was studying and had to live far from home." This experience helped him delve into the emotional relationship between siblings.

According to Umay, his role as Uta teaches that a younger sibling is the biggest fan of their older sibling. "I finally gained new insight on how to communicate with my own younger sibling," he explained.

The film "Celebration of Dullness" conveys an important message about family relationships. "When mom and dad are no longer around, you only have each other," said Umay, quoting one of the main messages of this film.
