Review :
This
movie is definitely one of the best movie ever made by Indonesian director in
recent years. This movie has overtaken Ayat Ayat Cinta (AAC) as the most seen
movie in Indonesian's cinemas. The latest info from Indonesian newspaper says
that total people watched Ayat Ayat Cinta was about 3.7 millions (final result)
while Laskar Pelangi has acquired about 4 millions spectators as of end of
October 2008 (after 1 month showing) and the movie is still showing in many
theaters throughout big cities in Indonesia. It is expected that 5 millions
spectators is within reached and this movie can be a new milestone for
Indonesian Film.
The
story tells about 10 children known as LASKAR PELANGI (RAINBOW'S ARMY)and their
brotherhood, honesty and most of all: spirit to conquers all barricades. This
movie is helpful for parents who try to convince their children that results
depend on effort and nothing is taken for granted. Besides, this movie is based
on a real life story and all characters stated in the movie are still alive and
can be verified.
I
am a horror-movie fan but watching this movie has made me sad and laughing
almost the same time. Through this film, I thank God that I did not have to
suffer like them and I think this film is very good because can arouse our
spirit in the life.
