Tenggelamnya Kapal Van der Wijck

I never read the novel before watching this,but my god i'm truly in awe of Hamka for writing this masterpiece even though it was adapted from a novel still it was so beautiful.Even from the start I was already hooked up to the artful dialogue,the different accent and culture between Minangkabau & Bugis.Herjunot Ali as Zainuddin truly a standout performer in this movie with supporting casts that were also great.Finally,what compliment great movie if not great music and soundtrack?The ship scene and the aftermath looks too simplistic but otherwise can be forgiven.Overall - this will stay in my Netflix list for a long time.

This is a great love story. Shown in classic way. Similar to the camera of greatest Hollywood movies.

In my opinion, the visuals presented in this film are very good, but for the scene when the ship sinks, in my opinion, it is very unrealistic. The color gradations in this film also really illustrate that this story happened in the past.

The dialogues of the characters also use Minang language so that viewers who do not understand Minang language have to listen to the translation, making the audience's focus a little divided. However, the writer still recommends this film to be watched by connoisseurs of Indonesian romance films because this film is not only about love, but also about someone's life struggles, namely Zainuddin.

Adapted from the novel of the same name, it tells the story of the love between Hayati, Zainuddin and Aziz who have different social settings. Their love for each other led to the tragedy of the sinking of Van Der Wijck's sailing ship.

When I first saw it, I felt that this movie has the same story as the Titanic movie. However, this film has a different story even though it features a scene of a ship sinking. The sinking of Van Den Wijck's ship has its own flavor in the storyline. Centered on the old era of Indonesia with a typical Malay feel, this film is very slick and beautiful. Featuring a story that is thick with customs and culture. Combined with dialogue that uses accents and Malay language. Supported by outstanding performances from Pevita Pearce, Herjunot Ali and Reza Rahardian. This film deserves to be the best drama film in Indonesia. The acting performance is very profound and full of emotions. Also with a very good story conflict which is able to give a good impression in seeing their love story. The film is able to invite the audience to feel and be part of this film. If you look at the title of this film, indeed the end of the tragedy of the ship's fall becomes an ending that fits with. But for me, the tragedy of the ship's fall seemed to be an ending that didn't feel right to perform. As if it became a moving and sad ending. But for me, it's not an ending to their love story problem.

The diction used in this film is very good, even though I don't understand the Minangkabau or Padang language, I still understand what it means.
