Review Movie of Laskar Pelangi

"Nothing is impossible" is a statement that comes to mind after watching the movie of Laskar Pelangi. It shows the people that whatever and however they are, they still have the equal chance in getting their achievement.
The movie of Laskar Pelangi, that takes set in Belitong, in 1970s, shows the children who never surrender and feel inferior with their condition. The children who only study in small moldy "Muhammadiyah" elementary school can prove that they can do as other children of other luxurious school or even better. Their contrast condition with the other children who study in a complete school can not prevent them to be great dreamer and creative students. In carnival competition they can make the people amazed with their odd unique dance and in quiz contest they can be the best.
This movie not only shows the big spirit of the poor students of the small elementary school but also love, friendship, sadness, and success. Ikal,the main character of the movie, falls in love with Aling,a tionghoa descent, but it becomes unpleasantness when he has to lose his love that goes to elsewhere. Lintang, also the main character who is called Newton by Ikal, has to stop his studying because he has to make a living for their family after his father dies. At this time,the children try to prevent him to not stop studying, but they cannot because they are not rich people. Although they lose their best friend, they never give up and always try to reach their dream and Ikal is one of them who is successful. He is accepted to be one of the students freely in one of the best university in Paris.
But for those who have read the novel of Laskar Pelangi,like me, may not be really satisfied after watching it. It cannot be enjoyed as deep as its novel because there are some events that are not like the events which are in the novel or may be cut. When they do a trip to a mysterious island to meet a famous fakir to ask help, they just see his shadow while actually in the novel they meet him and do some conversation. In quiz contest, the questions which are given are not as fantastic as the questions in the novel. Those differences make a different enjoyment when the people read and watch Laskar Pelangi.
