I was on the plane back to singapore from perth on the 15th aug when I tried to browse through the entertainment system provided by singapore airlines.
I tried to view videos and movies on demand and the movie "rainbow troops" was on the last page.
Being curious, I started the movie and little did i know this is the indonesian movie that I've been longing to watch!
Rainbow Troops = "Laskar Pelangi" (Indonesian Translation)
The story is about 10 students from poor family who believes in education to change their life and their future.
The movie potrays poverty in a different angle. It doesn't blame poverty; but instead revealing the secret that there's something in the world that can't be bought with money.
Faith,Love and Hope are the 3 most powerful ingredients that spiced up the whole scene.
It shows people about humanity and powerful unity in friendship,love and relationship.
This movie itself is adopted from the book called "Laskar Pelangi".
This book was a big hit in Indonesia; opening people's eyes and hearts to the hope that is unseen or often neglected by everyone.
The author of the book, Andrea Hirata is a brilliant young man.
As a back packer, his dream is to live his life for a better cause.
From a small kampong boy; he dreamt to discover the bigger world out there.
He receive scholarship to study master degree in French and UK and graduated from both University.
This is his first book, and he instantly become the a well known author in Indonesia, from a teenager to an intellectual professional and I do believe that's not the end of it.
There are more to come, people...
If you are human who believes in love,hope and faith...This is a must watch movie for you!
It will change your life!!!
Love,
HENY
