Choose the best answer!
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.

From the text above, we know that ....

My family of three went to see an early screening of the new Disney movie, ”Brave”
yesterday, so I thought I would write a quick “mommy” review of the movie.
Disney definitely breaks the standard “Disney Princess” mold with this movie as Princess
Merida is a fun, outgoing and wild girl that for once is not in search for the love of a prince.
The characters in the movie are entertaining and I loved the way that the Scottish culture
comes out in the movie. I found myself wishing for more music though, which is one of the
things that I truly love about past Disney movies. I would compare this movie more with
“Shrek” than a movie like “Tangled”.
As to the age of the kids that would like this movie I would have to say maybe 5 years old and
up. The movie is not quite engaging enough for very young viewers, which was a little
disappointing for our three years old. There were parts of the movie that our daughter enjoyed,
but it is engaging enough for younger viewers in the audience and made them cry, so be
forewarned of this if you are bringing children under the age of five years old.
I’ve always been a big fan Disney movies so on a 5-star scale I would rate this 4-star movie.
It’s definitely not a favourite, but I give it four star for the relationship that build between
Merida and her mother. I think this offers a great lesson to appreciate your family and truly
listen to each others need and concerns.

What does the writer think of the music in “Brave”?
