Pasalnya, jika tidak mencapai 10 orang, maka sekolah akan di tutup. Adalah Harun orang yang kesepuluh menyelamatkan mereka. The first day in tahun ajaran baru this measure is tighten for two teachers in Muhammadiyah elementary school, Muslimah and Mr Harfan, with 9 students and their parents.Because, if the school doesnt have 10 students, the school has to be c support. Harun is the 10 syudents who save them. Bu M us pun menjuluki kesepuluh anak dengan keunikan dan keismagazinewaannya masing masing itu dengan nama Laskar Pelangi. Selama lima tahun bersama, Bu Mus, Pak Harfan dan kesepuluh murid, berjuang untuk terus bisa sekolah meski mereka harus menghadapi beragam ta ntangan serta tekanan untuk menyerah. Di tengah upaya untuk tetap mempertahankan sekolah, mereka kehilangan sosok yang mereka cintai. Ms Mus named the ten students with their uniqueness and their speciality with Laskar Pelangi.For 5 years, Ms Mus, Mr Harfan and the ten students, struggle hard to defend their school altough they have to face a solidification of challenge and pressure to give up.

Padahal dalam novel itu anak-anak yang bersekolah di SD Muhammadiyah sangat serba kekurangan. Sekolah yang bisa dibilang sangat tidak layak dipakai, pengajar yang hanya berjumlah dua orang, kelas yang dipakai harus berganti-gantian, sungguh menyedihkan sekali sekolah itu.Namun dengan keadaan yang seperti itu para pengajar beserta murid-murid masih dapat melakukan proses belajar mengajar dengan baik. Mereka masih dapat menikmati kegiatan mereka dengan baik. Saya sangat suka sekali dengan tokoh Lintang, ia adalah sosok yang patut dicontoh. Kegigihan dia untuk menempuh jarak 80 km bolak-balik rumah dengan sekolah selain tiu ia harus menempuh bahaya bertemu buaya tidak menggoyahkan niatnya untuk belajar. Padahal kalau saya menjadi Lintang saya belum tentu mau melakukan hal itu, karena jarak 40 km untuk ke sekolah idaklah dekat apalagi ada buaya. Bukankah lebih baik saya di rumah saja dan belajar di rumah atau membantu orang tua bekerja. This novel maybe can menyadarkan us, especially student about the grandness to be grateful. Maybe we also the lucky child, because we still have parents who still can work hard, so theyt can menyekolahkan us in candid school, buy us peralatan sekolah yg lengkap, etc. in fact, in this novel, the children who go to school in Muhammadiyah elementary school is very kekurangan.Semangat tidak mudah putus asa mungkin saat ini sudah jarang, padahal sebagai generasi muda harusnya kita punya semangat pantang menyerah seperti tokoh-tokoh laskar pelangi tersebut. Sebab dengan tidak mudah pantang menyerah segala sesuatu yang kita ingink an akan lebih mudah tercapai. Sebagai bukti Ikal dengan segala kekurangan baik materi dan keadaan sekolah yang tidak memadai akhirnya dapat melanjutkan sekolah hingga ke perguruan tinggi, bahkan ia dapat bersekolah di luar negeri. Hal di atas merupakan sesuatu yang dapat saya temukan setelah membaca laskar Pelangi walaupun masih banyak lagi.Mungkin sebaiknya yang belum membaca Laskar Pelangi dapat segera membacanya atau menonton di bioskop untuk dapat memahami dan merefleksikan apa yang dibaca ke dalam kehidupan kita masing-masing. This article will smear my first Indonesian movie coverage, and the film that had moved my interest this time is Laskar Pelangi which literally in English can be describe as Rainbow Troops. What I can say about this film when I once seen the preview was this is a film about minorities life in majorities of narrative, acting and cinematography. Based on a best seller novel that sold more than 500. 00 copies in Indonesia, Laskas Pelangi authored by Andre a Hirata has told about the struggling of teacher and 10 students for education in a remote place called Belitong. The beautiful views of Belitong that set on Bangka Belitong province in Indonesia, like you can observes it below by the film images, yet one reason that keep intriguing my mind. Its a place that able to bring some of my childhood memories back, a memory of that striking blue beach view decorated by snow white sands and big coral reef, along with it great sight of sunset.Almost 100% shoots of the production were truly taken in Belitong island with real native Belitong children whos all was the first-timer in acting had involved as the main(prenominal) casts. What the film producers Mira Lesmana and Riri Riza whos also in cathexis as the director wanted with performing these native Belitong children is to build course chemistry between the story and actors. From the beginning we did not think about using outside actor for playing as Laskar Pelangi children figure. So , actor track down and casting process already we did from the beginning of production, Riri state. Even these children have no experiences with acting world, but they are very talented children, have courage, no shy to try, and the most important, they could presented main figure at this film, Mira continued. After hunting and casting process in Belitong, finally 12 Belitong have chosen to play the students character and in spite of that, they also not forgetting to cast the professional actor for the film. 12 big name Indonesian actors also have presence, they are Cut Mini, Ikranegara, Lukman Sardi, Ario Baru, Tora Sudiro, Slamet Raharjo, Alex Komang, Mathias Muchus, Rieke Diah Pitaloka, Robbie Tumewu, Jajang C.Noer and Teuku Rifnu Wikana. As Laskar Pelangi producer, Riri Riza said Laskar Pelangi has unique story, fully dynamic life with appeareance of 10 strong character students and an ambitius teacher which has big and noble wishes. And Andrea Hirata is very important factor w hy we would make film based on this book. First time meet with Andrea, there is enthusiasm shown at himself. Meet him like watching bright illumination sunny, very inspiring. This film has been scheduled to be release on this 25 September in Indonesia. Laskar Pelangi, the novel, was written by Andrea Hirata in 2005, based on the writers own experiences. It is about an inspiring teacher and her 10 students in the poverty-stricken Kampung Gantong in Belitong. The poor condition of their school building does not dampen their high spirits and hopes for a better future. Two years later, the novel 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 nations bookshops and media review pages.Actually, this was the first book and the global description of his 3 other books on the tetralogy included Sang Pemimpi (The Dreamer), Edensor and Maryamah Karpov. Th e story which taken place in a small village called Gantung in East Belitong is about the childhood of ten young Malay race children who all of them has a different story and personality but they all have the same condition in live that is poverty. They all join together in a poor school that in a threshold to be closed down if the school can not collect 10 or more new students.Meanwhile in tit there was just plainly 9 children, then suddenly a child named Harun at the age of 15th with mentally disorder (retarded) sign in, which then just exploit the school problem by accepting 10 student in that time. Since that time the entire 10 student has join together in a lifetime bonding and make a group of LASKAR PELANGI. Ikal (the main character), Lintang (the science genius boy), Mahar (the art genius boy), A kiong (the kind affectionateness Chinese boy), Syahdan (who wants to be an actor), Kucai (the head of the class for all the time), Borek a. . a dogshit (the muscle boy), Trapani ( the handsome boy who can not be by from her mother to long, later on he was diagnose as saturnine mother complex), and Sahara (the only girl in the group forward Flo come). The laskar pelangi all have a deep fondness to pelangi (rainbow) and every time after raining, they all get together in a filicium tree diagram and stared on the rainbow with story from the art master Mahar. It helped a lot that their teachers were very dedicated and willing to sacrifice their own wellbeing for the sake of the kids.though they are not invest in the mind, they are very gifted in the way of the spirit and unendingly talked in a very uplifting way. They symbolize patience, hard work and perseverance. Though they were trained only to teach a certain subject area, the impoverished state of the school has forced them to teach the kids everything from singing to physics. Fortunately, through the grace of God, two of these 10 were born geniuses and managed to teach the other kids things of the min d that the teachers can only be amazed about.All of these kids childhood is full with happiness although poverty was always be around them, but they manage to find their happiness in it, with high educational spirit they all fight for their future and hoping it will be better than the present that they live on. Initially, Andrea Hirata was trying only to even out himself with his bitter past when he decided to write about the early fragments of his life. One thing in his mind was to share his manuscripts with childhood friends who had been in the same boat.Living with a lack of almost everything is traumatic, especially for children, he said recently. Its a real struggle to go back in time to growing up in a poor approximation (in Belitung), while next to our place was a giant state mining company that had all the luxuries in the world to offer its staff and their families, said Andrea. An economics graduate of the University of Indonesia, Andrea received a scholarship from the E uropean Union, which allowed him to take his masters degree at the Universite de Paris, Sorbonne, and at Sheffield Hallam University in the UK. (But) my childhood period lingers at heart me. My memories of that period of my life are the fondest. I learned then about sincerity, friendship and the many virtues that perhaps todays children cannot learn from their environments the way I did. Andrea seemed to find his panacea when he decided to write. He could not stop. This debut novel was completed in less than six months. Here, I will not try to compare the film with the novel version because in in reality I still havent read it yet, but I hope this big screen version will be resulting as good as the novel version had done.
