The Indonesian film assiduity is fastening more on the happenings in their nation and is exposing unlawful conduct. The companies responsible for the paroxysms of the different small municipalities, only to dislocate the occupants deep into the timber with coming to nothing, were portrayed as the raw verity. The film also sheds light on the corrupted officers who work simply for their gain. utmost officers watch not about the citizens, but rather about filling their pockets. Although piecemeal from such a grim image, the film sheds light on people willing to fight for justice. These people are generally suppressed and overpowered, so their voices aren't heard. Because if their voices were heard, the spoiled system would be capsized and crushed by the rest of the citizens empty for justice. Through its ending, “ Ben & Jody ” puts forward literal cases where they ultimately capsized the system, and justice was served. Ben, Jody, and the rest of the townies eventually got their cinematic justice by putting up a fight and protecting those mugs to reach out for their escape. The film ends on a happy note, with the stylish musketeers uniting with their other musketeers and the townies getting a place to live.
