If you haven't watched this movie yet, then what are you waiting for?
5cm is an indonesian movie which is adapted from a National best seller novel written by Dhonny Dirgantoro and directed by Rizal Mantovani.
This movie focuses on friendship, love and dream. It was about a friendship between 5 different persons. One day, they decided to not meet for 3 months and to not communicate with each other. After 3 months, they started their adventure to Bromo and climbed the highest mountain in Java, Mahameru Mountain.
The visualization of this movie was phenomenal. So is the cinematography. It definitely shows how beautiful Indonesia is. Thumbs up for the director! The view of Ranu Pane, Ranu Kumbolo, Arcopodo and of course Mahameru were amazing. Another bunch of places I should definitely add to my travel list.
The story is pretty light, not too deep. Yet, powerful. Especially the nationalism messages. I daresay, this is how Indonesian movies are supposed to be. More movies like this should be made. Not those Indonesian not-so-scary-malah-ngelawak scary movies. Seriously, whoever made those movies are definitely not in their right mind. One thing I really like about this movie is its power of dialogue. Inspiring. I like the fact that the love conflict doesn't appear that much like any other movies. Sufficient, but well interpreted.
Watching this movie made me want to read the book. Typical me. I tend to watch the movie first, then read the book. The quotes are very inspiring. One quote I really like,
"Taruh puncak itu di depan kita, dan jangan lepaskan!
Yang kita perlukan adalah kaki yang berjalan lebih jauh, dan tangan yang berbuat lebih banyak
Leher yang akan lebih sering melihat ke atas
Mata yang akan menatap lebih lama dari biasanya
Lapisan tekad yang seribu kali lebih keras dari baja
Hati yang akan bekerja lebih keras
Serta mulut yang akan selalu berdoa."
had me.
