Laskar Pelangi

Laskar Pelangi.. “Rainbow Club” or whatever it’ll be in English, I don’t know.. yeah, I’ve just watched it thi afternoon. To be honest, I think this is Indonesia’s best movie so far. It’s not commercial, unlike others movie that showed a lot of sponsor’s products. The actors are great, like really great. The filming overall looks expensive, serious and it have lots of beautiful Belitung’s island sceneries. And it shows how peaceful the life between Tiong Hua’s and the Belitung’s people even with the kid that has mental problem. Another thing that make this movie great is that the children who play the children of Laskar Pelangi itself come from Belitung’s island too. They have no experience in acting before, but they do it naturally.
The movie is very inspiring, because we can see the spirit of those kids, who’s willing to learn and the teachers who’s willing to teach them with low payment. This movie told us about dreams, will, and hearts. It said that they don’t need numbers to divide their brightness, it’s all come from the heart. And we must never stop dreaming, chasing our own rainbow. Doesn’t matter where we came from, it’s what we willing to do in order to achieve our dream.
Most importantly, this movie shows us the value we’ll get from school, from learning, from experiencing. And it’s not just in material way, but we can learn from the nature, let the trees, animals, winds tell us what they know… It’s all come from the heart.
