5 TEMPAT MAKAN INI PUNYA HARGA TERLALU MAHAL, SEMPAT VIRAL DI MEDSOS

Author adminPosted on July 12, 2024July 12, 2024No comment on 5 Tempat Makan Ini
Punya Harga Terlalu Mahal, Sempat Viral di Medsos

Jakarta – Setiap tempat makan dan restoran sejatinya punya patokan harganya
masing-masing. Kawasan tempat wisata saat momen liburan, rest area, hingga banda
biasanya yang mematok harga yang cenderung mahal.
Namun, ada beberapa tempat yang menawarkan makanan dengan harga yang sangat
tinggi. Sebagian orang yang mengeluh tempat tersebut punya harga makanan yang
terlalu manal, yang bisa menguras kantong lho.

Saking mahalnya tak jarang orang ada yang protes dan membagikannya ke sosial
media. Tak heran, beberapa tempat makan sempat viral karena masalah harga.

Lokasi yang Makanannya Punya Harga Terlalu Mahal
Dari catatan detikFood, berikut adalah tempat yang disebut punya harga makanan
yang terlalu mahal:

1. Makan di Kawasan Wisata
Seorang pria menceritakan pengalamannya makan di sebuah restoran di kawasan
wisata Situ Cileunca, Pangalengan, Jawa Barat.

Melalui video di YouTube, pria bernama Rudiman dan kawannya memesan 11 porsi
ayam bakar dan goreng. Ketika ditotal, dirinya mendapatkan tagihan Rp 440.000.

Mereka juga memesan menu lain, seperti karedok, jengkol, ikan asin lengkap
dengan minuman. Menu-menu sederhana tersebut totalnya mencapai Rp 915.000.
Melihat totalan tersebut, dirinya pun merasa restoran tersebut menggetok harga.

Momen tersebut juga dibagikan channel YouTube Mang Dragon TV pada (09/01/2021).
Videonya viral dan ramai ditanggapi netizen, setelah dibagikan ulang oleh akun
Instagram @wisatapangalengan (10/01/2021).

Klasifikasi Pihak Restoran
Pemilik restoran juga telah memberikan klasifikasinya, melalui unggahan di
Facebook Abahnazeni yang dibagikan di Grup Pangalengan Lembur Kuring.

Menurut pihak restoran, kemungkinan Rudiman memesannya lewat jasa calo dan tidak
langsung ke restoran sehingga harganya mahal.

“Kang Arip ini beli dari penjual jasa/calo. Kita buka ya hara standar jajanan
warung nasi yang ada di Situ Cileunca. Untuk harga makanan Rp 25.000 per porsi,”
katanya.

Pemilik restoran tersebut juga mengatakan, pihaknya telah menghubungi wisatawan
untuk memberi klarifikasi secara langsung.

“Dari pihak pembeli makanan yang bernama Arif gak mau datang ke sini, dan kita
mau datangi pun dia gak mau kasih alamat,” ungkapnya ketika Dihubungi detikcom
(11/01/21) lalu.

Karena kasus ini, Abahnazeni memutuskan mengambil jalur hukum untuk
menyelesaikan masalah ini. Menurutnya, masalah ini bukan salah dari warung
makan, melainkan si wisatawan yang memesan makanan lewat calo.

“Saya sudah ngadain pengacara, untuk kesalah pahaman ini dan dari pihak wisata
mau bawa ini ke jalur hukum,” tutup Abahnazeni.

2. Makan di Rest Area
Seorang wanita bernama Nila Latarissa membagikan pengalamannya di akun TikTok.
Dalam video, ia membagikan sebuah foto struk makanan dari salah satu restoran di
rest area pada 05/07/2022.

Dalam video, ia membagikan sebuah foto struk makanan dari salah satu restoran di
rest area. Kala itu, Nila dan lima orang lainnya makan di rest area Tol Jagorawi
Km 10 yang ada di daerah Cipayung, Jakarta Timur.

Mereka memesan beberapa porsi makanan, seperti nasi gulai kikil, ayam goreng,
soto daging,nasi ikan kembung, dan soto Kudus.

Harga makanan yang dipesannya dibanderol mulai dari Rp 10.000 – Rp 45.000 per
porsinya. Jika, ditotal makan di restoran rest area itu Nilai perlu membayar Rp
495.000.

Menurutnya restoran tersebut melakukan getok harga, karena harga tersebut
dianggapnya terlalu tinggi.

3. Nasi Padang di Bandara
Harga nasi Padang yang dianggap mahal juga ditemukan di Singapura. Salah satu
netizen bernama Udaya kecewa, membagikan pengalamannya memakan nasi Padang di
Jewel Changi Airport, Singapura.

Dari struk yang dibagikan, diketahui dirinya mengunjungi ke gerai Padang Lezat
di food court di Bandara Jewel Changi pada 28/04/2023 lalu.
Ia memilih nasi putih dengan ayam goreng, ikan bilis, sayur tumis pare dan
kacang panjang. Ketika ia melihat struk dia pun kaget, karena untuk seporsi nasi
Padang itu ia harus membayar SGD 13 atau sekitar Rp 156 ribu (kurs 12.000 per
11/07/2024).

Dari ceritanya, dirinya hanya diarahkan untuk memesan dan memilih lauknya. Ia
mengaku kalau pegawai di gerai di sana tidak memberikan informasi harga sama
sekali.

4. Nasi Padang di Taman Safari
Taman Safari Indonesia yang berlokasi Cisarua, Bogor, memang dikenal jadi
destinasi wisata keluarga saat liburan. Tak hanya untuk melihat dan berinteraksi
dengan para satwa, di sana juga banyak penjual makanan.

Namun, salah satu pengunjung terkejut karena ada nasi Padang di sana yang
harganya mencapai Rp 120.000. Alasan seporsi nasi Padang tersebut punya harga
selangit, adalah karena setiap lauk dan komponennya dihitung satuan.

Misal, tambahan sayur singkong dan sambal cabe ijo masing-masing dibanderol Rp
8.000. Ada juga sayur nangka yang dihargai Rp 15.000 per sendoknya. Kalau
dilihat, porsi yang diberikan memang biasa saja.

Sayangnya, tidak diketahui dengan pasti siapa yang memposting dan kapan foto
kejadian tersebut terjadi.

5. Makan Mie Instan di Kafe
Pengguna Facebook bernama Derrel Surbakti, juga sempat membagikan bon tagihan
setelah ia makan di sebuah kafe. Kala itu, dirinya makan di kafe bernama Poesaka
Boenda, Siosa, Sumatra Utara pada 06/07/2023.

Lewat akun Facebooknya, ia menyebut memesan 3 gelas kopi susus aren, 2 es jeruk,
4 nasi goreng dan 1 mie instan goreng telur dengan harga Rp 25.000.

Setelah ditotal dengan PPN dan service charge, dirinya mendapat tagihan Rp
419.210. Unggahan Derrel pun langsung viral dan ramai ditanggapi netizen.

Banyak netizen yang setuju, kalau untuk menu-menu sederhana seperti itu harga
yang dipatok terlalu mahal.

“Service charge itu menambah beban banget menurut saya. Sudah bayar service
charge belum tentu pelayanannya excellent, kadang malah dijutekin,” tulis salah
satu netizen.

Sementara itu, ada juga yang menganggap bahwa harga tersebut standar yang
ditawarkan kafe-kafe kekinian. Terlebih, kafe itu menawarkan pemandangan
perbukitan yang indah.

“Wajah aja sih, kalau gue cek emang kafenya bagus kayak nawarin pemandangan
bagus juga. Tapi emang rata-rata harga makanan kafe ya segitu,” ujar netizen
lainnya di kolom komentar.

Ngomongin kuliner, harga makanan seringnya jadi pertimbangan utama. Jadi,
sebaiknya sebelum memesan makanan kalian bisa lihat menu atau tanya dulu ke
pelayan berapa harganya ya.

ISRAELI TANKS REACH CENTRAL RAFAH AS STRIKES CONTINUE

Author adminPosted on June 2, 2024June 2, 2024No comment on Israeli tanks reach
central Rafah as strikes continue

Rushdi Abu Alouf,David GrittenShare

Israeli forces have reportedly reached the centre of the southern Gaza city of
Rafah and seized a strategically important hill overlooking the nearby border
with Egypt.

Witnesses and local journalists said tanks were stationed at al-Awda roundabout,
which is considered a key landmark.

They also said tanks were on Zoroub Hill, effectively giving Israel control of
the Philadelphi Corridor – a narrow strip of land running along the border to
the sea.

The Israeli military said its troops were continuing activities against “terror
targets” in Rafah, three weeks after it launched the ground operation there.

Western areas of the city also came under intense bombardment overnight,
residents said, despite international condemnation of an Israeli air strike and
a resulting fire on Sunday that killed dozens of Palestinians at a tented camp
for displaced people.

The Israeli military said it was investigating the possibility that the fire was
caused by the explosion of weapons stored by Hamas in the vicinity.

It also denied reports from local health and emergency services officials on
Tuesday afternoon that tank shells had hit another camp in al-Mawasi, on the
coast west of Rafah, killing at least 21 people.

Reuters news agency cited local health officials as saying the blast occurred
after Israeli tank shells hit a cluster of tents in al-Mawasi on Tuesday. An
official in the Hamas-run civil defence force also told AFP there had been a
deadly Israeli strike on tents.

Videos posted to social media and analysed by BBC Verify showed multiple people
with serious injuries, some lying motionless on the ground, near tents and other
temporary structures.

There was no clear sign of a blast zone or crater, making it impossible to
ascertain the cause of the incident. The location – verified through reference
to surrounding buildings – is between Rafah and al-Mawasi, and lies south of the
IDF’s designated humanitarian zone.

The IDF said in a statement: “Contrary to the reports from the last few hours,
the IDF did not strike in the humanitarian area in al-Mawasi.”

Israel has insisted that victory in its seven-month war with Hamas in Gaza is
impossible without taking Rafah and rejected warnings that it could have
catastrophic humanitarian consequences.

The UN says around a million people have now fled the fighting in Rafah, but
several hundred thousand more could still be sheltering there.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began what they called “targeted” ground
operations against Hamas fighters and infrastructure in the east of Rafah on 6
May.

Since then, tanks and troops have gradually pushed into built-up eastern and
central areas while also moving northwards along the 13km (8-mile) border with
Egypt.

On Tuesday, they reportedly reached the city centre for the first time.

The al-Awda roundabout, which is only 800m (2,600 ft) from the border, is the
location of major banks, government institutions, businesses, and shops.

One witness said they saw soldiers position themselves at the top of a building
overlooking the roundabout and then begin to shoot at anyone who was moving.

Video posted online meanwhile showed tank track marks on a road about 3km west
of al-Awda roundabout and 300m from the Indonesian field hospital, which was
damaged overnight.

The UN says around a million people have fled Rafah since the start of the
Israeli ground operation in the city

Earlier, residents told the BBC that tanks seized Zoroub Hill, about 2.5km
north-west of al-Awda roundabout, after gun battles with Hamas-led fighters.

The hill is highest point along the Egyptian border and its seizure means the
entire Gazan side of the border is now effectively under Israeli control.

Zoroub Hill also overlooks western Rafah, where residents said there had been
the heaviest air and artillery strikes overnight since the start of the Israeli
operation.

A local journalist said the bombardment forced hundreds of families to seek
temporary shelter in the courtyard of a hospital, while ambulances struggled to
reach casualties in the affected areas.

At dawn, thousands of people were seen heading north, crammed into cars and
lorries and onto carts pulled by donkeys and horses.

“The explosions are rattling our tent, my children are frightened, and my sick
father makes it impossible for us to escape the darkness,” resident Khaled
Mahmoud told the BBC.

“We are supposed to be in a safe zone according to the Israeli army, yet we have
not received evacuation orders like those in the eastern [Rafah] region,” he
added. “We fear for our lives if no-one steps in to protect us.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) did not comment on the various reports but put
out a statement saying that “overnight troops operated on the Philadelphi
Corridor while conducting precise operational activity based on intelligence
indicating the presence of terror targets in the area”.

“The activity is being conducted as efforts are continuing to be made in order
to prevent harm to uninvolved civilians in the area,” it added.

“The troops are engaging with terrorists in close-quarters combat and locating
terror tunnel shafts, weapons, and additional terrorist infrastructure in the
area.”

The IDF has told civilians in eastern Rafah to evacuate for their own safety to
an “expanded humanitarian area” stretching from al-Mawasi, a coastal area just
north of Rafah, to the central town of Deir al-Balah.

Israel’s prime minister said the killing of civilians in an air strike and
resulting fire in Rafah on Sunday was a “tragedy”

On Sunday night, at least 45 people – more than half of them children, women and
the elderly – were killed when an Israeli air strike triggered a huge fire in a
camp for displaced people near a UN logistics base in the Tal al-Sultan area,
according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

Hundreds more were treated for severe burns, fractures and shrapnel wounds.

The IDF said it was targeting two senior Hamas officials in the attack, which
happened hours after Hamas fighters in south-eastern Rafah launched rockets
towards the Israeli city of Tel Aviv for the first time in months.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said a “tragic incident” had occurred
“despite our immense efforts to avoid harming non-combatants” and promised a
thorough investigation.

IDF chief spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said on Tuesday that the strike
had targeted a structure used by the Hamas commanders which was away from any
tents, using “two munitions with small warheads”.

“Following this strike, a large fire ignited for reasons that are still being
investigated. Our munitions alone could not have ignited a fire of this size,”
he said.

Rear Adm Hagari added that investigators were looking into the possibility that
the fire was caused by the explosion of weapons or ammunition stored in a nearby
structure, and played what he said was an intercepted telephone conversation
between two Gazans suggesting that. The audio recording could not immediately be
verified.

Sam Rose of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, told the BBC from
western Rafah that the killing of so many civilians could not be dismissed as an
accident.

“Gaza was already one of the most overcrowded places on the planet. It is
absolutely impossible to prosecute a military campaign involving large-scale
munitions, strikes from the sky, the sea, the tanks, without exacting
large-scale civilian casualties,” he said.

“It seems like we are plumbing new depths of horror, bloodshed and brutality
with every single day. And if this isn’t a wake-up call, then it’s hard to see
what will be.”

Last week, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Israel to
“immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah
Governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of
life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part”.

Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza to destroy Hamas in response to the
group’s cross-border attack on southern Israel on 7 October, during which about
1,200 people were killed and 252 others were taken hostage.

At least 36,090 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the
Hamas-run health ministry.

DOMESTIC TOURISM SOARS IN CHINA BUT FOREIGNERS STAY AWAY

Author adminPosted on May 12, 2024May 12, 2024No comment on Domestic tourism
soars in China but foreigners stay away
A popular thing to do in Wuzhen is pose for photos dressed in traditional hanfu
clothing

With the Chinese economy facing massive challenges, there have been concerns
over its growth potential, at least in the immediate future.

Yet a key exception is emerging in the form of domestic tourism.

Last week’s five-day public holiday to mark labour day saw 295 million trips
made within China, according to figures from the Ministry of Culture and
Tourism. This was 28% higher than pre-pandemic figures recorded in 2019.

The Transport Ministry’s figures are also staggering: 92 million rail trips;
almost 10 million air trips and 1.25 billion highway journeys.

However, this comes as international arrivals continue to lag, with foreigners
currently entering China at barely 30% of 2019 levels. Why the disparity?

The beautiful historical river town of Wuzhen, a short drive from Shanghai, is
considered one of China’s top visitor sites for travellers of all types. When we
arrive the little pathways and old bridges which cross narrow waterways are
filled with visitors.

A popular thing to do in Wuzhen is to pose for photos dressed in traditional
hanfu clothing – as if you have really been transported back hundreds of years.

Two women in their 20s, friends since high school, are visiting from Jilin
Province in the north east. After arriving, they spend an hour getting their
hair done in an elaborate imperial-era style – and they are full of praise for
Wuzhen’s classical beauty.

We ask if, following the post-Covid opening up, many of their family and other
friends have been travelling much? “Of course, after the pandemic, we’re all
visiting other places.”

Nearby a local man who is selling ice-creams also says tourist numbers are “not
that bad lately”.

As good as before Covid? “Almost the same,” he replies.

Shopkeeper Wang Ying, who sells traditional snacks, echoes this sentiment with a
big smile on her face. “Business is going well, and it’ll only get better.”

Wuzhen is considered one of China’s top visitor sites

All this will be seen as good news for the Chinese government. It’s been saying
that a push on domestic consumption can counter the significant faltering
portions of the economy.

Major players in the once-mighty property sector are struggling to stay afloat,
local government debt continues to rise, and persistent youth unemployment has
left highly qualified university graduates uncertain of their future.

Amid all these challenges, the Communist Party has set a target of “around 5%”
GDP growth for this year. Apart from the fact that analysts have long questioned
the veracity of the country’s official growth figures, economists are also
asking how such a target can be reached, in any genuine sense, in 2024 without
significant extra stimulus.

One lifeline could be a more buoyant travel scene which could bring broader
business opportunities and greater service industry employment.

Schubert Lou, chief operating officer at travel agency Trip.com, told the BBC:
“We’ve seen very strong domestic travel demand with search volumes in hotels up
67% compared to last year, and flight volumes up 80%.”

Tourism industry consultant Peng Han from Travel Daily is following the
investment trail to see how the business community really views the
possibilities in the sector.

“With famous international hotel brands – like Intercontinental, Marriott and
Hilton – you just have to look at their growth in China in 2023,” he says. “Then
check the performance goals for these large hotel groups in 2024 which have also
been set relatively high. This shows that they are very optimistic about the
growth potential of the Chinese market.”

But, while the volume of local travellers might be up, Mr Peng does point to the
problem of per capita consumption which remains persistently low.

He says general uncertainty about the Chinese economy is putting more emphasis
on saving, so people are looking for good value options. They are going on
holidays and paying for things but doing so much more frugally.

This is where an increase in big-spending foreigners could help. But they are
simply not travelling to China in the numbers they used to.

In 2019, nearly 98 million international visitors came to the country. Last year
it was only 35 million – including business trips, students and the like. Mr Lou
describes the domestic versus international market as “uneven”.

For many in the tourism industry here specialising in services for foreign
travellers, “uneven” would be an understatement. Three years of harsh Covid
prevention measures drove down arrivals from other countries, but that alone
can’t account for the current situation.

Huang Songshan, the head of the Centre for Tourism Research in the School of
Business and Law at Australia’s Edith Cowan University, blames this weakness in
part to “the shifting geopolitical landscape globally”.

China’s culture and heritage has traditionally been a big draw for tourists

In the peer-reviewed East Asia Forum, he pointed to a 2023 survey carried out by
the Pew Research Centre, writing that, “Most individuals in Western nations hold
unfavourable views towards China. The Chinese government’s tightening grip on
societal regulations could potentially cause discomfort for foreign travellers
in China.”

Official travel advice from some governments echo this sentiment, at times quite
harshly.

Washington warns potential travellers to “reconsider travel to Mainland China
due to the arbitrary enforcement of local laws, including in relation to exit
bans, and the risk of wrongful detentions”.

Australia advises “a high degree of caution” warning that “Australians may be at
risk of arbitrary detention or harsh enforcement of local laws, including
broadly defined National Security Laws”.

The political environment has also taken a toll on flight availability and
price. This is especially the case with connections to and from North America.
Last month’s 332 scheduled round trips between China and the US contrasts with
1,506 in April 2019.

As a result, finding a seat on a direct flight can be extremely difficult and
those that are available are very expensive.

President Xi Jinping made a speech at a dinner on the sidelines of the
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference in San Francisco last November
addressing this point. “Today, President Biden and I reached important
consensus,” he told the crowd.

“Our two countries will roll out more measures to facilitate travels and promote
people-to-people exchanges, including increasing direct passenger flights,
holding a high-level dialogue on tourism, and streamlining visa application
procedures. We hope that our two peoples will make more visits, contacts and
exchanges and write new stories of friendship in the new era.”

Washington has since increased the number of Chinese airline flights permitted
to land – but only from 35 per week to 50. It is still well short of the 150
weekly trips pre-Covid.

The Biden administration is coming under pressure from unions and US airlines to
not increase this any further because, they argue, Chinese airlines have an
unfair advantage over them as they have state support; don’t face the same
onerous Chinese regulations; and, crucially, can fly over Russian airspace,
making trips shorter and cheaper.

A letter to the US government from the Chair of the House Committee on China,
Mike Gallagher, and the committee’s top Democrat representative, Raja
Krishnamoorthi, reads: “Should the US-China passenger carrier market expand
without the US government addressing these significant issues, US aviation
workers, travellers and airlines will pay a hefty price tag.”

Mr Lou says the frequency of international flight connections is definitely
having an impact.

“What we are seeing right now, based on civil aviation data, is that inbound
flight capacity won’t get back to even 80% of 2019 [levels] by the end of 2024.”

Then there are other potential turnoffs for those considering travelling in
China, like the country’s state-of-the-art phone app payment and booking systems
which work very smoothly for Chinese citizens and residents, but which can be an
enormous headache if you have just arrived.

There are certain sites, transport options, and purchases which can only be
accessed via Chinese electronic apps which are, at times, only available in
Chinese.

Professor Chen Yong at Switzerland’s EHL Hospitality Business School is an
authority on the economics of tourism in China. He thinks that hurdles relating
to payment and booking apps can pose a real problem.

“Technologies such as social network websites, online maps, payment apps, among
others, which foreigners have long been accustomed to using, are either
unavailable or inaccessible when they travel to China,” he says.

“On the other hand, there are Chinese alternatives to these technologies that
remain inaccessible to foreigners due to language barriers and differences in
user habits. We need to bridge this divide because it affects the tourist
industry badly.”

Back in Wuzhen, the presence of international travellers is much smaller than in
years gone by, but there are still a few foreign faces in the crowd.

An Italian couple says the process of linking up to and using China’s payment
apps was a challenge but that it was not insurmountable, though they add, with a
laugh, that it is “much, much, much easier” if you have a Chinese friend to help
you.

Chinese officials have acknowledged that the foreign traveller numbers have been
low but they are trying to turn this around

Eliseo, from California, says he has had problems making payments to small
vendors who don’t accept credit cards and really no longer deal with cash.
Another hurdle for him has been his bank at home which has blocked some
payments, flagging them as potentially fraudulent coming from China.

Chinese officials have acknowledged that the foreign traveller numbers have been
low but they are now trying to turn this around.

One way they’re attempting to attract more foreign visitors is by increasing the
number of countries whose citizens don’t need a visa to enter. Trip.com says
this resulted in an almost immediate increase in passenger arrivals from
Southeast Asia.

In 23 Chinese cities, transit passengers from more than 50 countries are also
able to stay for a few days visa free if they have an onward ticket. In
Shanghai, hotels above a three-star level have been told that they should
prepare to deal with international credit cards and an initial batch of 50 taxis
have also started accepting them.

However, Professor Chen says “it would be too optimistic to envision a long-term
growth in China’s inbound tourism”.

“The key is to establish a culture that puts service providers in the shoes of
foreign tourists. They should imagine themselves being a foreigner who can’t
speak or read Chinese and who doesn’t have a Chinese mobile number, payments
apps and so on.”

He says that the culture around this can’t be changed overnight.

Yet, in places like Wuzhen – where the local travellers have already returned –
the tourism companies are hoping that incredible sites like theirs will
eventually be too much for foreigners to resist as well.

LOK SABHA 2024: THE INFLUENCERS DRIVING INDIA’S BIG ELECTION

Author adminPosted on May 6, 2024May 6, 2024No comment on Lok Sabha 2024: The
influencers driving India’s big election

BBCInfluencers like Ranting Gola (left) and Sham Sharma are using their social
media presence to promote political parties

Just weeks before the first ballot was cast in this year’s Indian election,
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was at an event in Delhi rubbing shoulders with
people known by names like BeerBiceps and Curly Tales.

The event – an awards show, congratulating some of the country’s top social
media stars on their work – was an acknowledgement of the power of the
influencer which a few years ago may have seemed unimaginable.

And as politicians prepared to battle it out for India’s billion votes, these
influencers were being lined up to play a crucial role in reaching the young,
the disinterested and the disillusioned.

But even as some celebrate social media’s democratisation of the media – a place
where any one can share their views freely – others paint a darker picture, one
where threats are rife, and the truth can be set aside for the right pay cheque.

A decade ago, you would have struggled to find anyone calling themselves an
“influencer”.

But now, says Vinay Deshpande, co-founder of Rajneethi, a political management
consultant firm, “it’s become a profession”.

“I know teenagers who are doing this part-time to earn pocket money.”

Pocket money underplays the earning potential somewhat, however. At the lower
end, people can charge around 2,000 rupees ($24; £19) a day, but top influencers
can pull in about 500,000 rupees for a post – equivalent to the monthly salary
of someone in top-level management.

The creator of the Ranting Gola channel revealed to the BBC that political
parties and election management firms have offered as much as “100,000 to
500,000 rupees for a single campaign”.

It is no small amount – but then, it could turn the tide in a candidate’s
favour.

Mr Deshpande says they have helped an opposition candidate win an assembly
election by pushing out content through a curated list of local influencers with
a small but active following.

“Social media content is powerful and can influence the way a person feels about
an issue,” Mr Deshpande says. “It gives social currency to a belief or opinion –
but this can lead to a lack of critical thinking about an issue,” he adds.

Preethi Aggarwal, 25, is one of those who turns to apps like Instagram, YouTube
and Twitter to help her understand the news.

Like thousands of others, Ms Aggarwal follows a bunch of “political
influencers”, or people who talk about politics on social media to “really
understand what’s going on”.

“News can get boring and complicated sometimes. I think these people
[influencers] make it fun and easier to understand,” she says, adding the
context and their own perspective help her form her opinions.

But the problem is, whose perspective is she getting?

PMO India / YouTubePM Modi congratulated Ranveer Allahbadia (left, known as
BeerBiceps) and other influencers at a recent event

YouTuber Samdish Bhatia reveals numerous politicians have reached out to him,
especially in the months before this election, offering him millions of rupees
to interview them.

“But they wanted me to share questions in advance or get the video approved
before it’s published,” he says, adding that he declined the offers because he
“likes to maintain editorial control”.

The particular trend for longer form, slightly chummy interviews – where
politicians get to show off their human side – is particularly vulnerable to
management, says Joyojeet Pal, an associate professor at the University of
Michigan.

“Many of these interviews are carefully managed by politicians,” Mr Pal says.

But even if they aren’t, a gentler style of questioning can also blur the line
between interview and promotion, says Mr Pal.

“If your questions aren’t holding power to account, then the interview just
becomes a platform for easy publicity.”

But for Mr Pal, this is just one of the problems he sees with politics on social
media.

In a recent research paper, he examined some of India’s top influencers and who
they interviewed, finding BJP leaders were featured more often than opposition
leaders.

His research also found an overall drop in the number of accounts posting
content critical of the incumbent government in recent years, while the amount
of pro-BJP content had increased.

“This hints at a growing hesitancy among people to be openly critical of the
government whereas there seems to be more confidence in putting up polarising
content or content that supports the government’s ideologies,” Mr Pal says.

“And this is dangerous for democracy,” he adds.

and internet

Influencers supporting the opposition certainly suggested they were working in a
hostile environment.

A number who post content that’s critical of the government declined to speak to
the BBC for this piece citing fear of repercussions by the government. They also
run their channels under pseudonyms to keep their identities secret.

The Ranting Gola told the BBC that she has often received comments that are
abusive or threatening because of the videos she posts and that her Instagram
account has been disabled numerous times, even though the platform hasn’t given
her a clear reason for doing so.

She also only spoke to the BBC on the condition that her name not be revealed.

The BJP government has denied allegations that it has clamped down on dissent
and free speech.

But even pro-BJP YouTuber Sham Sharma told the BBC that freedom of speech could
be a problem in India:

0:52YouTuber Sham Sharma talks about the positives and perils of sharing his
views online.

But even given these concerns, opposition parties are using the same influencer
system to reach voters in what they say is a difficult environment.

“The mainstream media has been taken over by the BJP,” alleges Supriya Srinate,
who heads social media for the Congress party.

“Our funds have been frozen; we have no money to advertise,” she adds, referring
to action taken by India’s tax department weeks before the elections. Congress
leaders have accused the government of political vendetta, but the government
has denied the allegation and said that the federal department was doing its job
independently.

Influencers, Ms Srinate argues, are a good way to reach voters as a result of
these alleged hurdles, explaining the Congress has been working with
“volunteers” who believe in the party’s ideology and want to share its work on
social media.

Ankit Lal, former political advisor of the opposition Aam Aadmi Party (AAP),
agrees that influencers have helped democratise the publicity landscape.

Akash Banerjee, a former journalist who runs the YouTube channel, The DeshBhakt,
argues that influencers are also able to push boundaries more than the
traditional media can.

He cites the video ‘Is India becoming a dictatorship?’ – made by popular content
creator Dhruv Rathee, who is based in Germany – which takes on the government
directly, and has been viewed about 24 million times on YouTube so far. The
government hasn’t reacted to the video yet.

“After the video, the term ‘dictatorship’ has popped up more in conversations,
and this is something that has never happened before,” Mr Banerjee says.

“Our job as influencers may not be to open the window and check if it’s really
raining, but we owe it to the nation to take a look outside the window and let
people know if dark clouds are approaching and that they can do something about
it by voting.”

BALTIMORE SUES OWNER AND MANAGER OF ‘UNSEAWORTHY’ DALI OVER BRIDGE COLLAPSE

Author adminPosted on April 23, 2024April 23, 2024No comment on Baltimore sues
owner and manager of ‘unseaworthy’ Dali over bridge collapse

Getty ImagesThe Dali was a ‘clearly unseaworthy’ ship with ‘an incompetent
crew’, the city of Baltimore argued in a lawsuit filed Monday

Baltimore has sued the operators of the container ship that hit and destroyed
one of the US city’s main bridges last month, killing six people.

The city says the Dali was “clearly unseaworthy” and accuses its owners and
manager of negligence.

The ship’s Singapore-based owner and manager have already asked a court to limit
their liability.

The region is reeling from the closure of its busiest maritime transit port
after the span collapsed on 26 March.

“None of this should have happened,” attorneys representing the Baltimore mayor
and city council argued in a federal lawsuit.

The city is asking the US District Court of Maryland for a jury trial to hold
the defendants fully liable.

Naming the Dali’s owner, Grace Ocean Private Limited, and its manager, Synergy
Marine Private Limited, the suit alleges the Francis Scott Key Bridge’s collapse
was a direct result of their “gross negligence, and recklessness, and as a
result of the unseaworthiness of the Vessel”.

On 1 April, Grace Ocean and Synergy Marine petitioned the same federal court in
Maryland to cap its responsibility for the incident.

Citing a pre-Civil War maritime law, the pair of companies estimated their
liability for the vessel and the cargo’s value at $43.6m (£35m).

Monday’s court filing from the city of Baltimore rebuts that number as
“substantially less than the amount that will be claimed for losses and damages
arising out of the Dali’s allision with the Key Bridge”.

The path taken by the cargo ship – which was exiting the Port of Baltimore under
the Key Bridge – is “no stranger to large freighters”, the city’s
representatives wrote.

They said the vessel “had been experiencing an inconsistent power supply” that
was either not investigated or not fixed.

“The Dali left port anyway, despite its clearly unseaworthy condition,” said the
lawsuit.

The filing also says the Dali was manned by “an incompetent crew that was
inattentive to its duties” and “lacked proper training”.

Contains upsetting scenes.Tracking data shows the path of the Dali container
towards the bridge

On Friday, port officials opened a third temporary channel for boats to enter
and exit the corridor, but these channels can only sustain about 15% of
pre-collapse commercial activity.

A fourth channel, that will allow most traffic back into the port, is expected
to open by the end of the month.

Darrell Wilson, an attorney who represents Synergy Marine and is also handling
media inquiries on behalf of Grace Ocean, told the BBC it would be inappropriate
to comment on the litigation while federal investigations into the collapse were
ongoing.

Six construction workers who were fixing potholes died when the bridge
collapsed. Two of the bodies have yet to be recovered.

Workers are still extracting thousands of tonnes of debris from the water and
from atop the stationary Dali, whose original schedule would have seen it arrive
at a Sri Lankan port on Monday.

Apart from two of the ship’s pilots, 21 crew members – almost all of whom are of
Indian origin – remain on the ship. There is no timeline yet for when the crew
will disembark or head back to sea.

Komisioner KPU, August Mellaz, mengatakan tim KPU Papua Pegunungan baru tiba di
Jakarta pada pukul 03.00 WIB setelah mencarter pesawat Trigana Air. Sedangkan
tim KPU Papua baru tiba pukul 13.30 WIB.

Di dalam rapat pleno tersebut, KPU Papua Pegunungan mengatakan bahwa proses
rekapitulasi suara Kabupaten Tolikara harus berpindah dari Wamena ke Jayapura
tempat lima kali karena masalah keamanan.

Situasi itu membuat rekapitulasi suara tingkat provinsi di Papua Pegunungan baru
selesai pada Selasa (19/03) malam.

Selasa (19/03) malam

Dari 37 provinsi yang telah selesai direkapitulasi hingga Rabu (20/03) sore,
pasangan Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming menang di 35 provinsi.

Hasil rekapitulasi terbaru hingga Rabu (20/03) pukul 15.30 WIB menunjukkan bahwa
Prabowo-Gibran juga unggul di Papua Pegunungan, Jawa Barat, dan Maluku.

Prabowo-Gibran hanya kalah di dua provinsi, yakni Aceh dan Sumatera Barat yang
dimenangkan oleh Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar.

Prabowo-Gibran juga meraih suara terbanyak unuk pemilihan yang dilakukan di luar
negeri — di 128 Panitia Pemilihan Luar Negeri.

Keterangan gambar,KPU terikat batas waktu maksimal 20 Maret 2024 untuk
menetapkan hasil Pemilu 2024.

Sementara itu, di depan KPU, aparat polisi berjaga untuk menangani aksi unjuk
rasa dari sejumlah elemen masyarakat.

Polri mengerahkan lebih dari 3.000 personel untuk mengamankan demonstrasi di KPU
dan DPR RI terkait hasil pemilu.

Unjuk rasa telah mewarnai proses pemilu sejak beberapa pekan terakhir. Pada
Selasa (19/03), polisi “mengamankan” 16 orang pengunjuk rasa di KPU dan DPR RI.

“Tentunya ada alasan rekan petugas kepolisian melakukan pemeriksaan terhadap
beberapa orang ini karena ada gangguan keamanan dan ketertiban tadi malam. Namun
secara persuasif sudah dilakukan imbauan literasi komunikasi sudah dilakukan,”
kata Kepala Bidang Humas Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Ade Ary Syam Indradi.


PRABOWO-GIBRAN MENANG DI MANA SAJA?

Dari 37 provinsi yang rekapitulasi suaranya telah disahkan KPU, Prabowo-Gibran
hanya kalah dua provinsi. Di Aceh, mereka meraup 787 ribu suara, kalah dari
Anies-Muhaimin yang meraih 2,3 juta suara.

Di Sumbar, Prabowo-Gibran kalah dari Anies-Muhaimin. Suara mereka berselisih
sekitar 500 ribu dari Anies-Muhaimin yang meraih 1,7 juta suara.

Hingga Rabu sore, Prabowo-Gibran telah dipastikan oleh KPU menang di Papua
Pegunungan, Jawa Barat, Maluku, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, Gorontalo,
Kalimantan Tengah, Bali, Lampung, Bangka Belitung, dan Kalimantan Barat.

Mereka juga menang di Sumatera Selatan, Jawa Tengah, DKI Jakarta, Kalimantan
Selatan, Kalimantan Timur, Kepulauan Riau, Nusa Tenggara Timur, serta Banten.

Prabowo-Gibran unggul pula di Kalimantan Utara, Jawa Timur, Sulawesi Tenggara,
Sulawesi Barat, Riau, Papua Barat, Sulawesi Utara, dan Bengkulu.

Provinsi lain yang mereka menangkan adalah Sulawesi Selatan, NTB, Papua Selatan,
Jambi, Maluku Utara, Sumatera Utara, Sulawesi Tengah, Papua Tengah dan Papua
Barat Daya.

Keterangan gambar,Komisioner KPU Kota Sorong membuka C Plano hasil penghitungan
suara DPD RI pada rapat pleno terbuka KPU Provinsi Papua Barat Daya di Kota
Sorong, Papua Barat Daya, 12 Februari lalu. KPU Provinsi Papua Barat Daya
menjalankan rekomendasi Bawaslu Papua Barat Daya untuk membuka C Plano untuk 82
TPS di Distrik Sorong Barat berdasarkan surat keberatan salah satu saksi DPD
yang menduga adanya kecurangan dan penggelembungan suara di distrik tersebut.


KEMUNGKINAN SATU ATAU DUA PUTARAN?

Untuk memenangkan Pilpres dalam satu putaran, pasangan capres-cawapres harus
memenuhi syarat yang tertuang pada Pasal 6A ayat 3 UUD 1945 dan Pasal 416 ayat 1
UU 7/2017 tentang Pemilu.

Regulasi tersebut mengatur tiga syarat yang wajib dipenuhi, yaitu:

 * Paslon capres dan cawapres mengantongi suara lebih dari 50% dari total jumlah
   suara dalam Pilpres 2024.
 * Capres dan cawapres menang lebih dari setengah provinsi di Indonesia, atau
   minimal 20 dari 38 provinsi di Indonesia.
 * Meraih minimal 20% suara dari setengah provinsi di Indonesia.

Merujuk rekapitulasi suara di 37 provinsi dan 128 PPLN yang sudah disahkan KPU,
pada Rabu (20/03) sore, Prabowo-Gibran menang di 35 provinsi.


BAGAIMANA HASIL SUARA PARTAI POLITIK?

Merujuk rekapitulasi suara 70 daerah pemilihan yang sudah disahkan KPU, PDI-P
meraih suara terbanyak, yaitu 21,9 juta suara (17,96%).

Golkar berada di peringkat kedua dengan 18,7 juta suara (15,36%), diikuti
Gerindra dengan 15,6 juta suara (12,8%).

Secara berturut-turut, PKB dan Nasdem berada di urutan berikutnya, masing-masing
dengan 13,1 juta suara (10,7%) dan 12,2 juta suara (10%).

Partai Demokrat, PKS, dan Partai Amanat Nasional per Selasa pagi juga telah
melampaui ambang batas parlemen sebesar 4%.

Selain yang telah disebut di atas, partai lain belum melampaui ambang batas
parlemen, termasuk Partai Persatuan Pembangunan yang selama ini selalu lolos ke
Senayan.

Mereka baru meraih 4,6 juta suara (3,8%). PPP berpeluang menempatkan kader ke
DPR juga suara mereka melonjak di 14 dapil yang akan direkapitulasi hari ini.

data Daftar Pemilih Tetap (DPT) di Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia di Pengadilan Negeri
Jakarta Pusat, Senin (18/03). Dalam kesaksiannya Betty menjelaskan sejumlah
masalah yang menyebabkan terjadinya pemungutan suara ulang di Malaysia.


MASALAH APA SAJA YANG MASIH MENGGANJAL?

Berbagai persoalan mewarnai proses penetapan rekapitulasi suara oleh KPU dari
tingkat kabupaten/kota, provinsi, dan nasional. Berbagai kalangan juga telah
mengadukan dugaan kecurangan kepada Bawaslu.

Sejumlah KPU di tingkat kabupaten, kota, dan provinsi bahkan gagal menyelesaikan
rekapitulasi suara sesuai tenggat.

Merujuk Peraturan KPU 5/2024, rekapitulasi suara di tingkat kabupaten/kota harus
selesai maksimal 5 Maret, sementara untuk tingkat provinsi paling lambat 10
Maret.

Akibat proses yang molor, Ketua KPU Hasyim Asy’ari mengeluarkan surat dinas
Nomor 454/PL/01/8-SD/05/2024.

Melalui surat itu, Hasyim meminta KPU di daerah terus melanjutkan rekapitulasi
suara meski telah melewati tenggat waktu.

Keterangan gambar,KPU berencana menyelesaikan rekapitulasi hasil suara nasional
pada Selasa (19/03).

Tenggat waktu rekapitulasi suara mengikat KPU secara hukum, kata Fadli
Ramadhani, peneliti dari Perkumpulan untuk Pemilu dan Demokrasi.

Dia berkata, KPU wajib memenuhi tenggat waktu itu agar proses tahapan pemilu
dapat berjalan.

Di saat KPU terikat untuk mematuhi tenggat waktu, Fadhli menyebut Bawaslu dapat
secara simultan memeriksa dugaan kecurangan yang diadukan kepada mereka.

“Jika kecurangan terbukti terjadi dalam proses penegakan hukum oleh Bawaslu,
perbaikan dan koreksi dapat dilakukan dalam proses rekapitulasi KPU,” kata
Fadhli.

“Misalnya, jika terjadi kecurangan di tingkat kecamatan, koreksi suara bisa
dilakukan ke tingkat kabupaten/kota. Pelaku dapat disanksi oleh Bawaslu. Begitu
juga kecurangan pada tingkat selanjutnya,” tuturnya.

Fadhli berkata, dugaan kecurangan hanya dapat diselidiki dan diputus oleh
Bawaslu.

“Bagaimana sikap Bawaslu? Mereka sengaja tidak menyelesaikan laporan, tidak
menemukan bukti atau bagaimana?” kata Fadhli.

Anggota Bawaslu, Lolly Suhenty, membuat klaim bahwa lembaganya akan mempercepat
penanganan dugaan kecurangan.

Lolly berkata, Bawaslu akan mengambil putusan soal kecurangan sebelum tenggat
penetapan rekapitulasi hasil penghitungan suara pada 20 Maret.

“Kecuali perkara-perkara yang memang sifatnya lebih kompleks sehinga tidak bisa
diambil putusannya sebelum tanggal 20. Tentu kami juga harus menghormati proses
yang berjalan nanti di MK,” kata Lolly.

Fadhli menuturkan, satu-satunya jalan untuk mempersoalkan dugaan kecurangan soal
penghitungan suara pasca penetapan pemenang Pemilu hanyalah Mahkamah Konstitusi.

Keterangan gambar,Sejumlah massa dari berbagai organisasi melakukan aksi dengan
membakar ban di depan KPU, Jakarta, Senin (18/03). Mereka meminta KPU memutuskan
hasil Pemilu 2024 dengan jujur dan adil serta medesak pemerintah membentuk
lembaga independen untuk mangaudit forensic sistem IT KPU.


BAGAIMANA SIKAP TIM PEMENANGAN CAPRES-CAWAPRES?

Pasangan Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD menyatakan akan fokus mempersoalkan kecurangan
yang bersifat terstruktur, sistematis, dan masif.

Ketua tim hukum Ganjar-Mahfud, Todung Mulya Lubis, sebelumnya berkata kepada BBC
News Indonesia bahwa mereka pasti akan membawa dugaan kecurangan Pilpres ke MK.

Kubu Anies-Muhaimin juga telah menyatakan rencana mereka mengajukan gugatan ke
MK.

Mereka membuat klaim telah mengantongi berbagai data dan bukti untuk menguatkan
dalil kepada hakim konstitusi.

“Pengacara dari Tim Hukum AMIN ada 1.000 orang yang akan support di MK,” kata
Iwan dalam keterangannya, Jumat pekan lalu.

Di sisi lain, kubu Prabowo-Gibran menyebut tidak terjadi kecurangan apapun dalam
proses rekapitulasi suara oleh KPU. Apalagi, klaim kubu pasangan itu, masyarakat
turut mengawasi proses penghitungan suara.

“Tidak ada suara rakyat yang dicurangi dalam rekapitulasi. Hasilnya untuk
pilpres kami menilai secara umum rekapitulasi suara oleh KPU berlangsung dengan
sangat baik dan lancar,” kata Juru Bicara Tim Kampanye Nasional Prabowo-Gibran,
Budisatrio Djiwandono, melalui keterangan pers, Selasa pagi.


DEMO MEWARNAI PROSES REKAP SUARA KPU

Selama beberapa pekan terakhir, sejumlah unjuk rasa berlangsung di kantor KPU.
Berbagai kelompok menuntut KPU dan Bawaslu mengusut dugaan kecurangan yang
terjadi selama tahapan Pilpres.

Senin kemarin, misalnya, kelompok yang menamakan diri mereka Koalisi Nasional
Penyelamat Demokrasi, berunjuk rasa menentang kecurangan pemilu.

Lebih dari itu, mereka juga menyampaikan aspirasi soal pencopotan Jokowi dari
kursi presiden.

Anggota KPU, August Mellaz, menyebut unjuk rasa adalah bagian dari setiap proses
pemilu dari tahun ke tahun.

Namun dia enggan mengafirmasi dugaan-dugaan yang disebut oleh kelompok pengunjuk
rasa. Menurutnya, KPU telah bekerja secara transparan, termasuk dengan proses
pengawasan pihak eksternal.

“Kalau tudingan ke KPU termasuk unjuk rasa kan sudah ada kalau dilihat Pemilu
sebelumnya sama proses-proses rekapitulasi menjelang penetapan kan pasti ada
unjuk rasa. Tapi itu bagian yang normal saja,” ujarnya di kantor KPU, kemarin.

GARETH EDWARDS: THE CREATOR DIRECTOR ON SHAKING UP HOLLYWOOD’S VISUAL EFFECTS

Author adminPosted on February 25, 2024February 25, 2024No comment on Gareth
Edwards: The Creator director on shaking up Hollywood’s visual effects

By Emma Saunders

Entertainment reporter

Hollywood director Gareth Edwards has always done things differently. Now his
latest film has all the tech heads in Tinseltown talking.

Best known for blockbusters such as Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) and
Godzilla (2014), and now rumoured to be helming the next Jurassic Park movie,
his sci-fi action film The Creator is in the running for best special effects
and best sound at the Oscars next month.

The film sees John David Washington play Joshua, an ex-special forces agent, as
a future war rages between humans and artificial intelligence (AI). The movie
also stars Gemma Chan and Alison Janney.

Speaking to BBC Click’s Spencer Kelly, Edwards says: “I used to jokingly refer
to the style of the film [as] if Terrence Malik had sex with James Cameron and
had a baby… that was the ultimate high benchmark of what this film was trying to
do!”

Its impressive visuals – check out that huge military spaceship called The Nomad
– have been widely praised, especially given the film had a budget of around
$80m (£63m), a third of what a special effects-heavy movie like this would
usually cost.

Oscar-nominated for best sound and best visual effects

Working with pioneering studio Industrial Light and Magic (ILM), which was
founded in 1975 in order to create the visual effects for Star Wars,
British-born Edwards took inspiration from his first film Monsters (2010), an
indy made on a tiny budget with a small team.

Most big films meticulously plan and build elaborate sets before shooting the
majority of their special effects against a blue/green screen, which is hugely
expensive.

But Edwards switched things up, shooting on location in countries including
Cambodia and Thailand, then adding the special effects later.

Referencing Monsters, which had a crew of just six and also shot on location,
Edwards says: “[I was] trying to get back to the positives of doing a guerrilla
film.

“It’s a way more efficient, exciting and interesting process. If you go to a
location that’s like the place in the scene and… if the crew is small enough,
it’s cheaper to fly anywhere in the world than it is to build a set.

“Whatever was the best place in the world we could find for that scene, we would
go and shoot it there, knowing that in the computer afterwards, we can change
things.

“And [it] already looks good before you hand it over to the visual effects
company.”

Working that way has been made easier with recent advances in technology,
Edwards explains.

“We tried to keep everything small and what allowed for that, which couldn’t
have happened five years ago, was that the camera technology had become really
good.”

A Sony FX3 camera was the tool of choice: “It’s very cheap and small, I could
just move with the camera. It was a massive, liberating thing.”

Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon

The careful choice of locations also helped keep the budget down.

“It looks bigger than your average film because every location is an Instagram
destination,” Edwards tells Kelly.

A significant chunk of The Creator was filmed in Thailand because “money goes a
lot further there”.

But creating a film in this way requires a lot of trust on behalf of the visual
effects company, who come in at the tail-end of the project.

Edwards explains that he showed the early stages of the scenes to ILM so any
misunderstandings could be ironed out quickly.

the robots having been rescued and raised by them when she was little

Shooting on location was also an advantage for the cast.

Londoner Andrew Roberts was the on-set special effects supervisor for the film.

“It’s great to have something real for the visual effects artists to build on
top of, and also for the actors to be in a space where there is something real
that can inform their emotion and their performances, rather than being
surrounded by blue or green [screen] and being told to imagine.”

The film has received much praise for its special effects, although some critics
have not been quite as impressed with the storytelling itself.

The Guardian’s Wendy Ide awarded it four stars, writing: “British director
Gareth Edwards finally gets to make the sci-fi spectacular he was always
destined to tackle.

“And with this ambitious, ideas-driven, expectation-subverting,
man-versus-machines showdown, he has co-written and directed one of the finest
original science fiction films of recent years.”

But the Evening Standard’s Hannah Strong had reservations, awarding it just two
stars: “It’s a handsome film and demonstrates the filmmakers’ vivid imagination,
but this doesn’t quite extend to the story itself, or its dialogue which often
veers into cheesy territory.”

Image caption,Edwards had fun with fans at the world premiere of Rogue One: A
Star Wars Story in LA back in 2016

For Edwards, the film posed a different challenge to the likes of Rogue One, his
last movie which came out eight years ago.

Reports claimed that Lucasfilm left Edwards out in the cold towards the end of
the project, bringing in Tony Gilroy to write new dialogue and shoot extra
scenes.

Edwards has disputed this, however, telling KRCW’s The Business podcast that
when Gilroy was brought in, they both worked together until the very end of the
movie.

“Having done these massive franchises, there’s pros and cons,” Edwards tells BBC
Click.

“The cons are you have this giant fanbase and all this pressure and you cannot
fail; it had better be a massive hit because there’s so many people waiting to
see it.

“When you do an original science fiction [film], you’ve got the opposite problem
– no-one’s heard of it, no-one cares, you’ve got to educate the world about what
it’s about… why they should go and see it.

“It’s a double-edged sword. [You’re] trying to do something new but if it’s too
out there… I just made this stuff up in my head and everyone is helping me
create it but what if I’m wrong and it doesn’t work?”


‘PROUD PARENT’

Perhaps surprisingly given his pedigree, Edwards, who hails from Nuneaton, is
his own worst critic.

“I always think I’m not pushing things enough, I always think I’ve conformed and
sold out… I always look at my heroes and beat myself up. My heroes growing up
were Spielberg, Lucas, James Cameron.

“We could go a lot further and do something more unique…” he trails off.

“[But] the day you get through a film, and everything about it was easy and fun
and enjoyable, is the day you made your worst movie and you should probably
retire.”

And on The Creator’s Oscar chances?

He modestly points out that he’s not personally nominated as the recognition is
for the visual effects team (Roberts, Jay Cooper, Ian Comley and Neil Corbould)
and the sound crew.

“As a proud parent of the film, it’s a nice end to the journey,” he concedes.

Roberts adds: “I was born and grew up in the UK, my parents are from the
Caribbean, a working class family and… to be at this point of being an Oscar
nominee and potentially getting to win… I never could have dreamed
this.”https://sukaati.com/
