Songbird: Burung Berkicau

"A man is considered to be a real man if he has a house, a wife, a horse, a dagger and a bird," Javanese proverb. Tracking, catching and training exotic birds from deep in the Indonesian jungle is lucrative business for young Indonesian entrepreneurs. That is, if the birds' new owners can make a good showing at local bird singing competitions and successfully sells them to the highest bidder. The birds are treated like royalty. They are their owners' ticket to a better life. Agok is new to the business. He follows the lead of his mentor Edi navigating the tricky process of procuring and training the right bird for this competitive and unusual sport. But training birds is not easy and takes a considerable time. Edi takes Agok under his wing to enable him a better chance at fulfilling his dream.

I don't have enough words to say about this movie. It is perfect i love movies and this movie has everything to be a great. The story is very nice, the acting is cool and everything else is awesome. I waited so long for a movie like this.

I don't often see a modern film that I thoroughly enjoy, but this is one of the exceptions. From the start, you are immersed in the movie.

Hoo-wee! Where to start! Well written and directed, good actors choice.

One of the better movies I've seen lately.

Excellent story, actors, acting, action etc. make this a must see movie in my opinion. Agok Wijaya, Edi Sudarmono and other, all deliver the goods as you would expect. it's a REAL movie!

The best thing about Nick Calpakdjian movies: I know what to expect and I get what I expected. And He DID IT again!

Really great movie!

The story was magnificent! Once again, Wisnu Surya Pratama have proved their prowess in making excellent films.
