  • Should mention that it was a silent film in the lead.
  • "... escapes to the colonial capital at Batavia ". Which colony? wikilink?

PR

edit

Just a few comments I didn't manage to get in before the PR closed. I've made a few tweaks here and there: feel free to revert anything you don't like.

Lead

Plot

Production

Images

  • Any chance of another images? this one? Or one with both - something with two Wongs would make it right.... (Sorry, couldn't resist the pun!)

Name of the film

edit

I enjoy these Indonesian film articles as they are almost completely outside my scope of knowledge. But this one really frustrated me. Having reached para two I got that Tjonat is the central character's name, but never came to what the title meant. So I tried the article Tjerita Si Tjonat, which has a useful translation "The Story of Si Tjonat", so "Si" cannot mean "of", leaving my best guess as at least the loose equivalent of "Mr". But now, on this page, I find it's bit different. Also, there is no relevant explanation at Si. As this is en.wiki shouldn't that explanation be in a footnote from the film title in the Lead?
