[[TrailersAlwaysLie Or so it seems at first]]. In practice, the film opts to instead focus on fictional(ised) personas representing the historical and very much human struggles that brought Indonesia from an oppressed past, with Mgr Soegija himself, instead of being portrayed as a big hero for many, instead guards and [[TheIshmael watches over]] the little heroes of [[WarIsHell everyday]] life that in the end defined the nation and his own ideals, making for perhaps one of the great Indonesian National Revolution films alongside the likes of ''Janur Kuning'' and ''Serangan Fajar'', albeit in a [[RousseauWasRight very different way]].

!The film provides examples of:
* AdultChild: Hendrick, an annoyingly apolitical Dutch reporter who [[StalkerWithACrush follows around]] Mariyem throughout the film, oblivious toward [[spoiler:her missing husband]] and only realising the full implications of the events around him toward the end.
* ArtisticLicenseGunSafety: Many Republican militia, particularly [[PantsPositiveSafety one young farmer]].
* BloodlessCarnage: For most parts, ''Soegija'' is definitely none too bold on explicit violence.
* TheComicallySerious: The man himself, without failing once.
* CulturedWarrior: The unnamed Japanese officer who speaks the Indonesian language, “asks” the church violinists to play ''Bengawan Solo'' at the local Japanese base daily and is implied to have gotten to where he is due to his fascination with Indonesia.
* DecoyProtagonist: Subverted.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: All the time.
* GoodShepherd: Soegija. The movie’s entire point, in fact.
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Mariyem upon eventually finding her husband dead.]]
* TheHerosJourney: A few, actually.
* HospitalHottie: The very clueless Hendrick sees Mariyem as one.
* MissingMom: [[spoiler:Ling Ling’s mother]] is driven off on a Japanese lorry with a number of anguished women early in the film, presumably to be a ''[[FateWorseThanDeath jugun ianfu]]''. [[spoiler:They are reunited later.]]
* NotSoDifferent: The Republican, Japanese and Dutch armies are all made up of weary, scarred youth and family men quite clueless about the whole affair and missing home badly.
* ObligatoryWarCrimeScene: The Japanese and the Dutch… have their moments. Even the Republicans shoot up a Japanese camp unprovoked while trying to get to their armoury and are otherwise less than squeaky-clean.
* {{Retirony}}: [[spoiler:The Japanese officer]] is [[spoiler:shot while trying to rein a post-war standoff with the Republicans,]] and [[spoiler:Robert]] is [[spoiler:killed on his last night on the front, while reading a letter from home for more irony.]]
* RousseauWasRight: While all sides do heinous things, they still are made up of very human faces – and in the end, love and peace always win. Notably, the story lacks an actual antagonist.
--> ''”In this hospital, we are all the patients.”''
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: War is utter hell. Doesn’t mean we can’t have fun and be decent human beings in the meantime, though.
* SociopathicSoldier: Robert.
* VillainousBSOD: Arguably Robert after [[spoiler:finding a baby behind a villager he shoots,]] though he does try to cover up afterwards.
* WarIsHell: And no one is safe.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: Generally averted, what with the main characters being Catholics in a Muslim-majority country.
