Evaluation:
The violence that happened in Jakarta and other big cities in Indonesia in May 1998 makes
Merry Riana forced to flee to Singapore. Merry Riana’s father decided to send his daughter to
Singapore because he was afraid of the unsafe condition. She went alone to Singapore with the
support money that was only enough to buy food for five days. Fortunately, Merry Riana met
with her best friend, Irene, who wanted to go to university in the there, too. With Irene’s help,
Merry could live in a boarding house. She was also accepted in one of the best college there. But,
it could only be reached if Merry paid $40,000. The only hope was to take a loan college student
that could only be obtained if Merry had a guarantor. Then, Merry met her senior, Alva, who was
very reckoning. He gave many requirements before he finally agreed to help Merry. He also had
Merry look for side job. Merry realized that she should be successful as soon as possible. She did
various work, from spreading online business brochure, until playing withe high risky shares.
The condition of her economy was moving up and down. Problem of love also occurred when
Alva expressed his feeling to Merry. Meanwhile, Merry knew it well that Irene fell in love with
Alva.
Interpretation:
The acting of Chelsea Islan (Merry Riana) in thit movie is very good. She can impersonate
Merry Riana’s character very well. But, it would be better if there was no kissing scene.
Summary:
I think this is an inspirational movie which can motivate people to be successful at young age. It
brings good spirit for young men in Indonesia. The script writer is successful to bring a set of
interesting conflicts which make the plot of this movie become alive.
