Abstract
<p>This article examines the textuality relationship between the historical facts of biography and the narrative structure of films that present figures who during the New Order regime were alienated from Indonesian historiography. Some films such as <em>GIE, Soegija, Sang Kiai, Soekarno, </em>and<em> Jenderal Sudirman</em> were able to deconstruct the meaning of historical films produced by the New Order regime which was dominated by Suharto's image. The emergence of biopic films that narrate characters with plurality of identity are deconstructive characters and reflect the antithesis of filmmakers on national film products in the era of Soeharto regime. In the New Order era, historical epic films were identical to the hegemony of the military struggle which reduced the narrative of civil society, such as <em>kiai</em> and <em>santri</em> and other minority groups. Actually, in the context of historical facts they also had great contribution in the era of nation formation through ethnic nationalism and civic nationalism. The Indonesianism discourse reflected in the hidden meanings of biopic films studied represent the plurality of ideologies and identity political formation in popular culture products.</p>
