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.

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.

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.

One thing I must say The best of Indonesia Movie ever made

Thanks to the great storyline from Ustad Hamka plus the spectacular emotional over- flows Actor and Actresses, the movie is such a great masterpiece that's gonna be talked about for years to come..

Took 5 years of preparation and 2 years of script writing comes with an almost 3 hours extended version that Worth each and every second of its motion and gestures.

Speaking from a Christian Chinese Indonesian perspective who fancies western movies and exposed to Western cultures, this movie is much better than Nicholas Sparks' love birds.

The morale of the story teaches viewers many elements of life especially Tolerance, love, Sacrifice, Perseverance, and Being Religious.

The only let down was the sinking of ship scene. Could have been a 10 out of 10

A must see movie indeed enjoy!!
