3 Days To Forever (2007)

Yeah, I am very proud to finally can post movies from my own country. I should've seen this one way earlier. 3 Days To Forever or originally 3 Hari Untuk Selamanya was released in 2007 and directed by Riri Riza. It was selected to be screen in the premiere of Hong Kong International Film Festival dan Singapore International Film Festival.

The movie tells a story about two cousins, Yusuf and Ambar, who supposedly took a half-day trip and turn it into 3 days trip from Jakarta to Yogyakarta. From the beginning they both have a closeness and feel comfortable enough to do mischievousness in front of each other. It is a portrait of the life of nowadays generation of youth and the way they deal with traditional culture in their lives.


I felt the similarity of Nicholas Saputra (who played Yusuf) roles between Yusuf and Rangga (Ada Apa Dengan Cinta). Only Yusuf is more quiet and friendly. Adinia Wirasti plays Ambar very well, a mix of a spoiled, naughty and outspoken girl.

Laskar Pelangi : Great Location

Hey fellow readers, so sorry I have been away for a couple weeks. I took a couple of days to rest from work and blogging. But I have not neglecting a lot, I was actually taking a trip to Laskar Pelangi's movie location in Belitung. The movie boosted Belitung's tourism so much, they make everyone want to go there, including me and my travel mates. These are some pictures where the movie shoot's located. Lots of rock and beautiful sandy beach. Some rocks are hard to climb makes me wonder how hard it is for the filmmakers to make the movie. Too bad it's rainy back then.

The tourist guide said they were only shooting in Tanjung Tinggi, but when I look it on web they shoot also in Tanjung Kelayang and Tanjung Pendam. Too bad we didn't explore the other location, since it's not the package we signed up for. But I figure these pictures are worth to be shared with all of you.
