Ever since 2001, many of us have come to recognize New Zealand as “the place where Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, was filmed.” Now even more people know it as “the place where I took my vacation.”
According to the general manager of Western long haul markets for Tourism New Zealand, Gregg Anderson, “We’ve seen a 50% increase in arrivals to New Zealand since Lord of the Rings.” The first film in the trilogy, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, was released in 2001.
Lord of the Rings may have contributed to the economy of New Zealand…but then again, as Anderson said, “I’m sure Lord of the Rings played a huge part in that, but it wasn’t the only factor.
Comparing with one of Indonesian Film, 5 cm. Yay, I have a chance to watch "one of Indonesian great movie". (Yep, I said that because, lately, most of Indonesian movie only told about "ghost and sex"). That's so pleasure, finally Indonesian cinema is back. New paradigm of Indonesian cinema has been started. Yay, i can't wait to spend my pocket money in cinema. :p
The setting of 5 cm took place in Mt. Semeru (Mahameru), the highest mountain in Java Island. Nice cinematography on filming, i think can promote Mt. Semeru as one of natural heritage in Indonesia. And I wish, that film could play huge part in our economy. I hope, the next Indonesian films could promote our treasure to others.
