Dua Garis Biru

A movie that proposes a central theme about sex education, how important it is and the consequences if one not learn in an early age. It relates with the 21st century millennials who think that personal boundaries is not an issue.

What I love is that the film brings you of the similar concept that has been recycled, but the execution is different. It shows you a set of different plot-points to let the audience go down a different road from what you have seen before.

The performances by the actors are executed brilliantly. You can see the differences between the struggles of two families regarding the same subject.

The cinematography is on an international level! It blends in arthouse and commercial styles of camera movements that are both creative and innovative. What's even better is that there is one crucial scene that longs its one-shot for 5 minutes!

A film that throws in effective jokes that makes the whole audience giggles. These one-liner do not overshadow the serious tone of the film that needs to be addressed to the public which is a good thing. P.S: Be prepared to hurt your stomach during the fruit scene in the hospital. 😂

From beginning 'till the end, all songs that are featured suit the tone of the film. The lyrics are melancholic and they are all great enough, making you want to Google the soundtrack back at home.

Fast introduction scene. The movie should have invested some time on character developments so that audience may be able to express true emotional on the unethical action that leads to ebing the theme of Dua Garis Biru.

The concept however, feels derivative. It has been done quite many times in advertisements, 7 o'clock dramas, and movies from different countries.

Being a huge fan of his, Angga Yunanda's dark skin tone irritates me as it is unsuitable with his look. He looks unnatural and the makeup team should have not asked him to undergo the tanning process under the scorching sun.

Verdict: Better than both Ada Apa Dengan Cinta and Dilan, Dua Garis Biru is a film that touches many hearts. If there is one Indonesian film to send to the Oscar for Best Foreign Film, Dua Garis Biru is at the top of the line.

The film expressly tells the story of what has remained taboo in society. Although the beginning was widely opposed, the film successfully demonstrated the importance of sex education for adolescents. All aspects are well crafted, despite some of its drawbacks. Worth it to watch.

I think it's good but not so special. A bit irritated by Zara's voice, though. Not that I didn't like her. I really like her. She's so cute and pretty. Really adored her acting in Keluarga Cemara where she played Euis. However, I didn't see any difference in her character here. As Dara, she just looked like Euis. I wish I would see the difference of character in her other movies. Angga did great. Lulu Tobing... Nothing's really changed about her. She's still pretty with her signature bob hair. Great acting, too.

One more thing, the girl that played Dara's sister, really hurt my eyes because I think she just didn't belong in that family. Maybe she was meant to be looked like her father with her brown skin, but still, to me she has no resemblance at all with the rest of the family.

A very worthy film to watch because it contains a lot of education that can be taken, such as the impact of excessive "dating style", in this film it is also taught that communication between children and parents is very important.

The acting is very good, this movie really shows pure emotions from the characters. It's also about family, relationship between parents-children and also sibling to sibling during hard times. Bima and Dara's romance storyline is also very cute and heartwarming despite the things they went through. There are times when they fight, and it somehow shows that they are really just underage teens even though the situation forces them to be mature. But, I don't really like the ending tho. And also, I don't get why they had to tan Angga Yunanda's skin tone (because his natural skin tone is light). They should've picked a naturally dark skinned actor for the role of Bima, I'm sure there are many talented dark skinned boys out there who would be a suitable choice for this role. Or, just simply leave Angga's complexion the way it is instead of putting make up on him to make his skin look darker.
