So get yourself boxes of Kleenex to watch the movie good and safe it from being a letdown. Author Andrea Hirata is a genius since the storyline is beautiful, touching, and engaging at the same time. Credit to Cut mini Theo since she brought such a strong performance as a determined teacher. As a matter of fact, I cant't even name a flaw! The cast are perfect, as many of the stars are Indonesian leading and popular actors. I can't stop saying that Laskar Pelangi is a marvelous picture. We can learn many life lessons from the movie. The movie contains social and educational issues and strongly declares that everyone needs education and every one needs to be educated. It's a 5 star masterpiece in Indonesia, but still deserves 4.5-5 Star in Hollywood stage. It beats the Denias: Senandung di Atas Awan, and Ayat-Ayat Cinta (The Verses of Love).
Laskar Pelangi is no doubt, one of the best Indonesian movies. I didn't expect anything too spectacular from the movie, because as spectacular the book supposedly to be a letdown.
The book was certainly popular and everybody worships this work of Andrea Hirata. I belive there's a huge responsibility in adapting the number 1 best selling novel. Pertanyaan Indonesia's Biggest Cinematic Achievment
