Hanung Bramantyo Questions the Issue of Young People's Resistance to Old-fashioned Parents Through 'CATATAN SI BOY 2023'

Kapanlagi.com - Hanung Bramantyo has been given a great opportunity to direct the film CATATAN SI BOY 2023. For Zaskia Adya Mecca's husband, there is a special meaning behind the original version of the film CATATAN SI BOY released in 1987.

Catatan Si Boy, starring Onky Alexander and Meriam Bellina, has its own meaning in Hanung Bramantyo's heart. This film symbolizes the resistance of young people in the 1980s against their old-fashioned parents.

"I asked myself, is the current scenario still related to young people today? Because at that time, why was Catatan Si Boy (1987) booming, it was a movement of young people's resistance against their old-fashioned parents," said Hanung Bramantyo.
