Runtime: 2hr 30min
Genre: Drama
Language: Indonesian

Explaination:
The story is about survival of the oldest Muslim school in Belitong island named Muhammdiyah primary school. It only hav one teacher (Miss. Mus), a headmaster (Mr. Harfan) and ten students. This school is for poor people who can't pay normal school fee. And not very far away there is an expensive private school. They have their uniform, books and calculator for its education's essential. On the other hand, Muhammadiyah hav a broken school building, no uniform and uses sticks for their math lesson. The students even have to clean the school after rain because lots of wild animals go in the classroom looking for shelter. Tats why the classroom becomes very dirty, wet and stinky.

Even though tis ten students have to deal wif many difficulties during their effort to receive a proper education. However, they dun give up and still hav big dreams. They studied diligently and make great history for their school. We can see tat there r lots of poor people who can't afford for school in Belitong. Ironically, one of the richest island in Indonesia who produces plenty of tins. Seriously, they'r deserve better public facility and not sum crappy leaking school.

I love tis movie because its a very touching yet inspiring movie. U can see the love , friendship and faith r all over tis movie. I think this movie is the second spectacular Indonesian movie after Ayat-ayat Cinta. Well well its a breakthrough for Indonesian movie industry. Good job, it was a great movie! ^-^

Huraian:

Sebuah adaptasi filem dari novel fenomena LASKAR PELANGI karya Andrea Hirata, yang mengambil setting di akhir tahun 70-an .

Laskar Pelangi berkisah tentang 10 anak kampung di Desa Gantong, Pulau Belitong, Sumatera. Mereka bersekolah di sebuah SD Muhammadiyah yang bangunannya nyaris roboh dan pada waktu malam pula menjadi kandang ternak. Sekolah itu nyaris-nyaris ditutup jika muridnya tidak sampai 10 orang.

Hari pertama pembukaan kelas baru di sekolah SD Muhammadyah menjadi sangat menegangkan bagi dua guru luar biasa, Muslimah (Cut Mini) dan Pak Harfan (Ikranagara), serta 9 orang murid yang menunggu di sekolah yang terletak di desa Gantong, Belitong.

Jika saja tak ada Harun ( Jeffry Yanuar ), seorang anak berusia 15 tahun dengan keterbelakangan mental, yang disekolahkan oleh ibunya agar tidak hanya mengejar anak ayam di rumah, tentu tidak pernah terjadi kisah ini.

Muslimah atau Bu Mus dan Pak Harfan , dua orang inilah yang meneruskan perjuangan sekolah tersebut. Mereka menginginkan anak-anak miskin berhak untuk menggapai cita-cita. Rasa menyerah, putus asa, dialami Bu Mus dan Pak Harfan karena tidak adanya minat serta biaya bagi kaum miskin untuk menyekolahkan anak-anaknya.

Maklum, bagi kalangan bawah, menyekolahkan anak berarti mengikatkan diri pada beban biaya yang harus ditanggung selama bertahun-tahun. Termasuk tertutupnya kesempatan mempekerjakan si anak secara penuh waktu demi membantu mengurangi beban hidup yang berat.

Namun di hari itu Harun, seorang murid istimewa menyelamatkan mereka. Berkat Harun, jumlah murid genap menjadi 10 orang dan sekolah batal ditutup. Lalu, sepuluh murid itu diberi nama Laskar Pelangi oleh Bu Muslimah .

Lima tahun berlalu, Bu Mus, Pak Harfan dan ke sepuluh murid dengan keunikan dan keistimewaan masing-masing, berjuang untuk terus bisa sekolah. Di antara berbagai tantangan berat dan tekanan untuk menyerah, Ikal ( Zulfani ), Lintang (Ferdian) dan Mahar ( Veris Yamarno ) dengan bakat dan kecerdasannya muncul sebagai pendorong semangat sekolah mereka.

Film ini dipenuhi kisah tentang kalangan pinggiran, kisah perjuangan hidup menggapai mimpi yang mengharukan, serta keindahan persahabatan yang menyelamatkan hidup manusia.

Seperti diketahui, film ini diangkat dari novel dengan judul yang sama, Laskar Pelangi, karya Andrea Hirata. Ini adalah novel pertama Andrea. Kabarnya, novel ini adalah memoar masa kecilnya dan semua pelakunya adalah nyata.

Laskar Pelangi adalah teman-teman masa kecil Andrea saat bersekolah di sekolah kampung yang miskin di Belitong. Tapi, tidak disebutkan secara eksplisit dalam novel itu oleh Andrea Hirata bahwa itu adalah kisah nyata.

Setelah diangkat ke layar lebar, film yang disutradarai Riri Riza itu berhasil menampilkan setting akhir tahun 1970an.

Pemandangan indah dan menarik membuat film ini tak membosankan ditonton dari awal hingga akhir. Isi cerita cukup mewakili penggambaran tentang semangat mengejar cita-cita.

Film ini sukses mencampur aduk perasaan penonton. Ada bumbu serius, lucu, dan sedih.

Ada satu adegan lucu yakni ketika Ical jatuh cinta kepada A Ling. Cinta monyet itu berawal dari membeli kapur. Berikutnya, Ical rela melakukan apapun agar dapat bertemu kembali dengan A Ling, walau untuk itu dia harus membagikan kapur kepada anak-anak Laskar Pelangi.

Nah, apakah film ini sesuai bayangan Anda ketika membaca novelnya? Temukan jawabannya dengan langsung menontonnya sendiri. Anda tak akan puas jika hanya membaca review film Laskar Pelangi.

WHAT RAINFOREST?

Running Time: 36min
Genre: Documentary
Language: malaysia / iban with english sub

Explaination:
When bulldozers came to the ancestral lands of the Iban, in the Sarawak region of Malaysia, Segan Anak Degon stood up to defend his land.

Today Segan is the the only person out of 101 families whose land remains unaffected by the oil palm that swept through the region.

What Rainforest? is a 36-minute documentary about his struggle.

“What Rainforest? has all the necessary ingredients for a thrilling Hollywood blockbuster” describes an independent reviewer: “A stoic hero and his long-suffering wife. Ruthless land-grabbing corporations. A plot that wove a tale of David minus his slingshot versus Goliath. Of conviction of strength in the face of greed, gangsters and cockamamie policies. And also a credible supporting cast and beautiful long-range and wide angle shots of one of the world’s oldest rainforests.

“But What Rainforest? neither thrilled nor entertained.

“Of course, the co-producers of this 36-minute documentary – Hilary Chiew and chi too – never intended for it to. Instead, they succeeded all too well in making you burn as you watch the outright trampling of basic rights of the indigenous Iban folk and their ancestral lands.

“When oil palm barons began encroaching onto their native customary rights (NCR) land with claims of buyovers sanctioned by the government, the families in Kampung Lebur, near Kuching in Sarawak, were devastated.

“One man stood his ground. Segan anak Degon was the only one of 101 families who managed to hold off an oil palm plantation from replacing his ancestral patch of forest which included his paddy field and fruit trees planted by his forefathers.

“Like his fellow villagers, the forest was the sole source of livelihood for Segan and his wife. But unlike his fellow villagers, Segan fought … and won. And this is his story.

An eleven-year-old Turkish boy, two young men from a small town, and a cuckolded policeman from the sticks all find their way to Berlin on May Day, where, in the district of Kreuzberg, emotions come to the boil every year. Little Yavuz is eager to gain recognition and is determined to 'floor a cop' in order to impress his older brother. But then he meets Hary, a onetime member of the student revolts of the late sixties, and things turn out completely differently. Jacob and Pelle from Minden are hell-bent on having a boys' own adventure in the capital. They are a couple of inquisitive tourists cruising for a bruising, drifting aimlessly between sightseeing, their search for the city's best kebab shop and the protest march of the anarchic 'Black Block'. As the ruckus begins, policeman Uwe has problems of quite a different kind. He and his colleague have been assigned to calm the situation in Kreuzberg. But his wife turns unfaithful and he finds himself in the midst of a major personal crisis. Will his colleague's suggestion to seek distraction at a cop-friendly bordello help him out of his doldrums? Four lives, four different stories and predicaments. Four people who each experience their very own May Day, after which nothing will ever be the same.

SKINHEAD ATTITUDE (2003)

Duration: 93min
Genre: Documentary
Language: English

Explaination:
Ini adalah sebuah filem yang bagus, dokumentari yang baik tentang perjalanan seorang skins girl mencari kebenaran tentang budaya skinhead. Aku dah tengok dokumentari Skinhead Attitude ni dua kali dan aku suka dengan part awalnya dari Bad Manners 'Buster, dia ni betul-betul ikon skinhead. Pada aku, dokumentari ini sangat menarik untuk mengkaji pergerakan skinhead di Eropah. Tapi dari satu sisi, dokumentari ni banyak sangat memaparkan bonehead bodoh yang sama sekali tak masuk akal. MEREKA INI BUKANLAH skinhead, jadi mereka seharusnya tidak diberi slot yang banyak. Tak masuk pun takpe. Tapi dari satu sisi yang lain, penonton boleh melihat betapa bodohnya ideologi-ideologi rasisme bonehead ini, sekaligus membenci perkauman. Mungkin juga. Ada interview bersama Roddy Moreno dari The Oppressed dan temubual dengan Jimmy Pursey, Lauren Atkin pun best! Ia mungkin lebih menarik jika letakkan sedikit je part bonehead dan lebih banyak memaparkan tentang perjuangan SHARP sejak dari dulu. Selain itu, ia juga banyak memaparkan tentang rudeboys dan pelbagai cabang skinhead yang lain. (redskins, tradskins, gayskins, dan sharp). Apa-apa pun, ia adalah sebuah dokumentari yang sangat baik dan boleh dijadikan panduan kepada sesiapa sahaja untuk mengenali pergerakan skinhead. Sesiapa yang boleh buat subtittle dalam bahasa malaysia, dialu-alukan sebab takut ada budak-budak yang tak faham. Macam hari tu aku nampak, nazis pakai baju american history x. huhu.

p/s: skins girl (karole) tu memang cute habis! karole, i love you! :D

EARTHLINGS (2007)

Duration: 95min
Genre: Documentary
Language: English

Explaination:
Narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (WALK THE LINE, GLADIATOR), EARTHLINGS is a feature-length documentary about humankind's absolute economic dependence on animals raised as pets, food, clothing, entertainment and for scientific research. Using hidden cameras and never-before-seen footage, EARTHLINGS chronicles the day-to-day practices at some of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative and thought-provoking, EARTHLINGS is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals and human economic interests.
