Laskar Pelangi’: The Audacity of Hope
This is a movie adapted from a best-selling Indonesian novel. It took 40 days of filming on Belitung Island, Bangka-Belitung province. Involving 12 local actors, it reportedly cost Rp8 billion. With all the efforts of transforming Laskar Pelangi (Rainbow Warrior) into a moving picture, will it satisfy readers’ imaginations?
Laskar Pelangi, the novel, was written by Andrea Hirata in 2005, based on his own experiences. It is about an inspiring teacher and her 10 students in the poverty-stricken Kampung Gantong in Belitung. The poor condition of their school building does not dampen their high spirits and hopes for a better future.
Two years later, the novel became a phenomenon in Indonesia literature. With its humanistic touch, Laskar Pelangi has sold more than 500,000 copies and has won the position of Must-Read Novel in every corner of the nation’s bookshops and media review pages. It has finally overcome the domination of teen-lit, chick-lit and even religious novels, the popular theme of today.
Andrea entrusted the fi lming of the story to the respected figures in the film industry, Mira Lesmana and Riza, as producer and film director. In July 2007, Mira and Riri started the per-production, which took a year to finish. Together with the scriptwriter Salman Aristo they decided to create a different scenario for the film.
What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
‘Laskar Pelangi’ is the story of poor people at the Bangka Belitung province
‘Laskar Pelangi’ is the story of poor school children of the Belitung Island
‘Laskar Pelangi’ is about poverty in Kampung Gantong in Bangka Belitung
‘Laskar Pelangi’ is about an inspiring story towards a better life
‘Laskar Pelangi’ is about Andrea Hirata
I believe there is a huge responsibility in adapting the number 1 best seller novel. The book awas certainly popular and everybody worships this work of Adrea Hirata. To be honest, I didn't expect anything too spectacular from the movie.
Laskar Pelangi is no doubt one of the best Indonesian movies. I beats the Denia: Senandung di Atas Awan and Ayat-Ayat Cinta. It is a 5-star masterpiece in Indonesia. The movie depicts social and educational issues in Indonesia particularly in remote islands. It also strongly declares that everyone needs education and be educated. There are a lot of life lessons offered by the movie.
I can't stop saying that Laskar Pelangi is a marvelous film. As a matter of fact, i can't name a flaw! The casts are perfect as many of them are leading and famous Indonesian actors and actresses. Credits to Cut Mini Theo since she brought such a strong performance as a determined teacher. Author Andrea Hirata is a genius since he successfully built a story line which is beautiful, touching and engaging at the same time. So get yourself boxes of tissues when watching the movie. Thanks to the director Riri Riza and the producer Mira Lesmana for making this movie possible. Even the author was amazed the crew's job and stated that the movie was better than his original writing. In addition, the movie exposes beautiful scenery of Belitung Island.

When we seethis movie, we will remember the plot of Pearl Harbor, which is produced by the same super producer, Jerry Bruckheimer, but Pearl Harbor is different from King Arthur , in terms if their historical accuracy. The story of Pearl Harbour is based on a true historical event, while the story of King Arthur is based on the mythology of Great Britain, in which he appeared as the ideal of kingship, both in peace and war.

All and each Harry Potter series both movies and book hold a particular part in my heart. And by that means, I love it all. No, I won’t talk about the whole series. I’ll only talk about the 6th series of Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half of Blood Prince.
The movie may slightly unsatisfying for those who read the book. It’s a dark time for Harry. It’s like a cup of hot cocoa on your cold morning, but your cat breaks the cup.
Harry Potter books have been a hit and been more potent since the Warner Bros decide to bring it to life through a movie. One or two changes from the text in the film is undeniable. We all know Harry has to feel one more lost on the last movie because Bellatrix killed his God-father, Sirius Black after they talk about lives together in an entirely safe village far from anywhere. Sure it’s like a thunder strikes on the midday for Harry. As we always want happiness for Harry, many have hope that everything he’s been through will paid on the Half-Blood Prince. At the first hour of this movie, we can see Harry doing great for his Potion class even beat Hermione, thanks to the book previously owned by The Half-Blood Prince he found at the bottom of the cupboard.
But another dreary, depressing feel once again must we see on this movie as Dumbledore fall from the attic after being Avada Kedavra by his trusted man, Severus Snape aka the Half-Blood Prince. Not many things from the book were adapted. Instead, it almost entirely different. After the movie was released, you can hear some voice of disappointment roaring from some of the fans, including me.
Nevertheless, this is still an excellent movie to watch and of course worth your time. 7 stars out of 10 for the Half-Blood Prince! Don’t worry because every question and every scene missed in this movie will be soon explained on Deathly Hallows.
