I tried to find moves that hopefully match the jurus Bastian Tito created in the novels," Yayan said.Īlthough the film's story is set in fantasy land, the creators did take some inspirations from real life sixteenth century Indonesia.
"They're West Java styles of pencak silat, but I also used a bit of West Sumatran styles. Yayan told the Jakarta Globe he didn't stick to one style of pencak silat, but combined moves from three different schools: Ciung Wanara, Panglipur and Pencak Silat Tenaga Dasar. He also plays Wiro’s nemesis Mahesa Birawa. The Raid legend Yayan Ruhian is the action choreographer for Wiro Sableng.
The Indonesian influence is felt right down to the fighting scenes, since the choreography is heavily influenced by moves from pencak silat, the traditional Indonesian martial arts and a debut event in the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang where Indonesia made a clean sweep of the gold medals. The costumes, props, sets – all are one hundred percent Indonesian," he said.Īdrianto designed a total of 300 original costumes and 150 weapons for Wiro Sableng. No one will mistake this for a film from Hong Kong, China, Japan or Korea. "You'll see the rich influences of Indonesian traditions and cultures. Production designer Adrianto Sinaga told the Jakarta Globe last week his aim was to create an authentic Indonesian feel for Wiro Sableng. The upcoming "Wiro Sableng: Pendekar Kapak Maut Naga Geni 212," or "212 Warrior: The Adventures of Wiro Sableng," a local blockbuster adaptation of Bastian Tito's famous dime novel series, is trying to achieve the same effect using Indonesian cultures – though with a much less political bent. The characters in the film's fictional kingdom of Wakanda even ride rhinos instead of horses.
When the Hollywood mega blockbuster "Black Panther" was released earlier this year, it launched a wave of Pan-African pride sparked by, among others, the different elements of African cultures converging into its wardrobe and set design.
