ORIENTATION
Merry Riana is a woman writer, young entrepreneur, and motivator who is
successful and successful in achieving her career.

The success story of her life, she 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 she struggled to survive the difficulties of life she
faced, until finally she 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, she 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 she 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
she had to succeed as soon as possible. She 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. She 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.
