Tenggelamnya Kapal Van der Wijck

Remove the ship scene, and I would give this movie 9 points. The graphics look rough and unnatural. In the 14-21 inch TV screen may be accepted, on a cinema screen would look embarrassing.

It was like back in the Sumatran island culture in the '30s. I feel very fresh once heard a dialect of Malay literature, lilting and attention to its structure.

Acting is also not disappoint. Honestly though I do not idolize any of them. But I tried to ignore the supporting cast: some look unnatural and too young for their costumes.

However this film is well worth to see because it shows one of the original culture of Indonesia.

I rarely like Indonesian movies and rarely watch it, even if it is free. But this is one of the local films that I have no regrets for spending the money for the ticket.

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.

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 story tell the difference between culture and religions knowledge, does the culture always be a priority? This story is to tell how Adat Minangkabau is conducted within the ethnic. Minang is the fraction of the Malay ethnic besides Jawa and else. Zainuddin sentences for Hayati is Masterpiece. It should be full rated because of the sentences only.

Zainuddin's words to Hayati carry immense emotional weight. You can truly sense the deep-seated feelings he has concealed for so long. In this scene, it's clear that despite still loving her, his overwhelming anger dominates his reactions. I find it hard to imagine how I would cope if someone I loved deeply not only broke a promise but also married someone else, only to return later seeking forgiveness. I can see myself reacting in a similar way to how Zainuddin does with Hayati. The truth is, words can be more painful than the sharpest knife.

Seeing Zainuddin's struggle and eventual response motivates me to channel my own pain and anger into something powerful. His journey shows that success and healing are possible, even after intense emotional wounds. He proves to everyone that it is indeed possible to rise above past hurts and achieve greatness, embodying the idea that even the deepest scars can eventually heal.

In addition to the powerful dialogue, the film's soundtrack also plays a crucial role in enhancing its impact. The music complements the emotional depth of the story, adding another layer to the film's powerful narrative.
