Of Love and Eggs

Going in/Coming Out

an Average Mexican Love Triangle
One fun fact about Indonesia is that it has the world's largest Muslim population, yet in the film Of Love and Eggs the level of (stereotypical) Muslim influence is less. One does not see the Middle Eastern level of Islam present in Indonesia, albeit one does see a mosque but it plays a secondary role to that of the marketplace. So while in Baghdad one sees marketplaces blown up by suicide bombers, in Indonesia it seems that the life of the city emits from the marketplace. And this film's perspective of Indonesian daily life seems on par with the average Mexican life being portrayed by Univision's soap operas. So without further to say, a bit overacted.
