‘Laskar Pelangi’ : The Audacity of Hope
This
is a movie adapted from a best-selling Indonesian novel. It took 40 days of filming
on Belitung Island, Bangka Belitung province. Involving 12 local
actors, it reportedly cost rp. 8 billion. With all the offerts of
transforming Laskar Pelangi (Rainbow Warrior) into a moving picture, will it
satisfy readers’ imaginations?
Laskar
Pelangi, the novel, was written by Andrea Hirata in 2005, based on his own
experiences. It is about an inspiring teacher and her 10 students in the poverty-stricken
Kampung Gantong in Belitung. The poor condition of their school building does
not dampen their high spirits and hopes for a better future.
Two
years later, thenovel became a phenomenon in Indonesian literature. With its
humanistic touch, Laskar Pelangi has sold more than 500.000 copies and has won
the position of Must-Read Novel in every corner of the nation’s bookshops and
media review pages. It has finally overcome the domination of teen-lit,
chick-litand even religious novels, the popular theme of today.
Andrea
entrusted the filming of the story to the respected figures in
the film industry, Mira Lesmana and Riza, as producer and film director. In July
2007, Mira and Riri started the pre-production, which took a year to finish.
Together with the scriptwriter Salman Aristo tyey decided to
create a different scenario for the film.
