Film Merry Riana: “Mimpi Sejuta Dollar”

Orientation:

Merry Riana is a woman writer, young entrepreneur, and motivator who is

successful and successful in achieving her career. The success story of his life, he
tells in a film called “Merry Riana: A Million Dollar Dream. The film was adapted
from his own book of the same title. This film visualizes how he struggled to survive
the difficulties of life he faced, until finally he managed to achieve success.

Evaluation :

The riots that occurred in May 1998 in Jakarta and other major cities in
Indonesian regions made a Merry Riana forced to go and flee to Singapore. Merry
Riana’s father decided to send her daughter to Singapore, citing fear of seeing the
unsafe condition. Then Merry Riana left alone armed with just enough money to
buy food for five days. Luckily, he met a friend of mine named Irene. Irene is her
best friend who also wants to continue her studies at a university in Singapore. With
this help from his best friend, Merry was finally able to live in a dormitory and be
accepted at one of the best colleges there. However, all of that could only be Merry
if he had paid money of $ 40,000. Until finally, the only hope he had was, by taking
student loans that could only be obtained if Merry had a guarantor.

Then, Merry met with one of his seniors named Alva. Alva is a very
calculating person, he gives all kinds of conditions before finally agreeing to help
Merry. He also told Merry to look for a part-time job, and Merry realized that he
had to succeed as soon as possible. He does all kinds of work, from spreading online
business brochures, to playing high-risk stocks. The economic condition also
fluctuates. The chaos of love ensued when Alva expressed her feelings for him,
while Merry knew very well that Irene was in love with Alva.

Interpretation :

The acting of a Chelsea Islan who played the role of Merry Riana in this
film is very good. He is able to play his role as Merry Riana very well. However,
this film will be even better and more positive if there is no kissing scene in it.

Summary :

I think this is a very inspiring film, a film that can motivate people to
succeed at a young age. This certainly brings positive enthusiasm for young people
in Indonesia. The script writer in this film has also succeeded in bringing together
a number of conflicts that make the storyline more lively.
