1. 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.

2. 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.

5. Harry Potter and Philosopher’s Stones

Judged by this first volume, the Harry Potter books are a fine addition to
English children’s fantasy literature. Harry Potter, orphaned when his
parents are killed by the evil wizard Voldemort, is taken in by his aunt and
uncle, who are Muggles – ordinary, non-magical people. Harry is rather out
of place there, but things improve greatly for him when goes to the
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry – except that one of the staff is
in league with Voldemort.

Part of the attention of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone comes
from the familiar but at the same time exotic setting of an English public
school, complete with houses and schoolboy adventures, in which Harry and
his friends Ron and Hermione struggle to save the world and win the house
cup.

So Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone will be a great Christmas

present for kids who haven’t read it yet – and it is a book that adults (at
least those without stunted imaginations) can read as well.

19. A Beautiful Mind is a biographical movie about John Forbes Nash Junior,
mathematical genius with hard fate. At the beginning of this carrier he has
made enormous contribution in the field of Game Theory, which was a
revolution in this mathematical area and almost brought international fame
to the author. The movie was filmed in 2001 by Ron Howard and today it is
called modern classics: a true drama, making you think and evoking
emotions.Such movie, telling us about the life of a famous person, are
always difficult to assess, because any such creations somehow pretend to
be biographical ones. But in fact they are just a glance of one particular
producer on the life of another individual. Of course, much depends on the
actor who will perform the role of the protagonist and after watching A
Beautiful Mind I will agree with this once again.
