Siapa yang sudah nonton film Jenderal Soedirman (Viva Westi, Padma Pictures) yang tayang di bioskop tanggal 27 Agustus 2015 kemarin?

Film ini mengisahkan perjuangan Jenderal Soedirman, sang panglima besar pertama yang memimpin Tentara Nasional Indonesia (TNI) antara tahun 1944-1950, di hutan medan perang selama tujuh bulan semasa jaman kemerdekaan melawan tentara Belanda. Beliau dinyatakan sebagai pemimpin perang gerilya terhebat sepanjang masa, kendati kondisi fisiknya yang terkena sakit TBC kronis.

Tapi tahukah kamu, mengapa Jenderal Soedirman bisa berjaya dalam perang walau tentara pengikutnya tidak dalam jumlah besar dan persenjataan serta perbekalan mereka tipis? Tentunya karena Jenderal besar kita dimomong oleh leluhur dan dewata, yaitu Ki Lurah Gareng, bentuk manusia dari pengejewantahan dewa bernama Sang Hyang Cakrawangsa.

Ki Lurah Gareng adalah satu dari punakawan atau pamong Nuswantara yang bertugas sebagai pembimbing dan penasehat anak bangsa yang ketitisan Wahyu Keprabon (dipilih oleh dewata untuk mempimpin bangsa) yang tengah bertugas untuk membimbing negeri matahari terbit sejak jaman Perang Sekigahara di abad ke-17 (karena itulah rambut orang Jepang yang dikuncir mirip dengan rambut Ki Lurah Gareng).

Dalam masa kemerdekaan Indonesia, Jepang membantu mendirikan Pembela Tanah Air (PETA) dan di situlah perkenalan Jenderal Soedirman dengan pihak Jepang terjadi. Kini di Kementrian Pertahanan Jepang di Tokyo didirikan patung sang jenderal setinggi 4 meter sebagai satu-satunya patung pahlawan asing yang sangat dihormati penduduk Jepang. Hal ini menjadi bukti bahwa kehebatan pahlawan kita diakui dan disegani oleh negara lain, dan bukti bahwa bangsa Nuswantara memang sebuah bangsa yang besar.

General Sudirman

Who have watched the movie of Jenderal Sudirman (Viva Westi, Padma Pictures) that played on theaters from August 27, 2015?

This movie depicts the battle story of General Sudirman, the first commander in chief who led Indonesian National Army (TNI) between 1944-1950, in the forest of war fields for seven months in the time of Indonesia's independence against the Dutch troops. He was declared as the leader of greatest guerrilla war of all time, despite his physical condition that affected with chronic tuberculosis.

But do you know why General Sudirman could prevail in the war while his troops were not in large number and their weapons and supplies were thin? Of course it was because our Great General was nurtured by the ancestors and gods, which was Ki Lurah Gareng, or the human form of a god named Sang Hyang Cakrawangsa.

Ki Lurah Gareng is one of the guidance or guardian angels of Nuswantara who serves as mentors and advisors of the person who has Wahyu Keprabon (chosen by the gods to lead the nation), who was in the middle of his duty to serve the Land of the Rising Sun since the Sekigahara War in 17th century (which was why the Japanese had their hair ponytailed that similar to Ki Lurah Gareng's hair).

In the era of Indonesia's independence, Japan helped by establishing The Homeland Defender (PETA) which introduced General Sudirman to the Japanese. Now a 4-meters high statue of The General is standing on Japanese Ministry of Defense in Tokyo and became the only foreigner's hero statue ever stands in Japan and is highly respected by Japanese. This is a proof that Indonesia's heroes are admitted and respected by other nation, and a proof that Nuswantara is indeed a great nation.
