A Business Proposal

The recently released Indonesian remake of "A Business Proposal" is a significant disappointment. The acting is subpar across the board, with performances lacking depth and authenticity. Abidzar Al Ghifari's portrayal of the CEO, Utama, is particularly unconvincing. His attempt to embody a charismatic and ambitious leader falls flat, as he fails to capture the essence of a corporate executive. His performance lacks the gravitas and presence required for such a role, making it difficult for the audience to believe in his character's authority. This miscasting is exacerbated by Abidzar's own admission that he only watched one episode of the original series and chose to develop the character independently, which may have contributed to his lackluster performance. Overall, the film suffers from poor execution and fails to live up to the charm of its original Korean counterpart.

I'm giving this film a rating of 1 as a strong warning to the actor. His dismissive remark, labeling the fans as 'fanatic,' shows a lack of respect and responsibility from someone in the spotlight. Remember, 'Your mouth is your tiger'-your words carry weight and can inflict real damage. I hope this serves as a wake-up call not only for him but for all public figures: think before you speak, because careless words can undermine the very values of diversity and respect that we should all uphold.

Furthermore, this incident reflects a broader issue within the entertainment industry where a lack of sensitivity and accountability from celebrities can lead to widespread disillusionment among fans. The film's decision to include such divisive commentary has unfortunately overshadowed its artistic qualities. It is crucial that actors and public figures recognize the immense influence they wield and understand that their statements resonate far beyond the screen. This moment should serve as an opportunity for self-reflection and growth. If entertainers can take this criticism to heart and engage in meaningful dialogue with their audience, the overall quality of public discourse will improve, paving the way for a more respectful and inclusive cultural landscape. Ultimately, responsibility in speech is as important as the craft of performance itself.

I was very disappointed with the poor casting. Plus they were too lazy to research the original characters, so the acting was bad. And they are so arrogant that they don't want to accept criticism, they just become even more arrogant. For readers and viewers of the Korean version, this is very disappointing. Moreover, Abidzar's acting is very far from the character of a CEO, at least he would wear a tie and neat clothes. But I quite enjoyed Ariel's acting, As usual she is a very professional woman. Always listens to good criticism and suggestions. Hopefully Ariel Tatum will not meet someone like Abidzar again. These 2 stars are to appreciate Ariel Tatum and the production team. Keep your spirits up.

Challenges as an Actor in a Remake: As an actor, Abidzar certainly faces a big challenge in playing a role that is already well known in its original version. While the desire to make the character more unique is understandable, in a remake, there is a risk that such efforts could be seen as disrespectful to the original work or make the audience confused due to significant changes in the character.

Critique of Overly Free Interpretation: Finally, there could be criticism that this statement indicates a misalignment with the true needs of the adaptation. Characters in a remake should be close enough to the original version so that the audience feels they are seeing the story they love, but with new elements that make it relevant. If Abidzar focuses too much on creating a completely new character, it could make a character that should be easily recognizable feel alien or inconsistent with the essence of the story.

An actor who is rude and lacks good attitude. He is extremely arrogant, as if he doesn't need an audience. Keep him away from the film industry in this country. Educate him, make him study and go to school. Let this be a lesson for all production houses in Indonesia. I will cancel this person forever.

His unprofessionalism is unacceptable, and his arrogance only proves that he does not respect his audience. An actor should appreciate the people who support their work, not act as if they are above them. If he cannot handle criticism and refuses to improve, then he does not deserve to be in this industry.
