The romance of the two teenagers of Dilan and Milea boomed in Indonesian cinema of the year 2O18 when the film raised by the script of the Pidi Baiq novel became one of the highly awaited movie.
Success with Dilan 199O, one year later Pidi Baiq returned with Fajar Bustomi to continue the Dilan 1991 sequel which was also his novel storyline.
The movie is highly anticipated by fans of Dilan and Milea who are hysterical, the love journey of Dilan and Milea is packaged in a continuation of a young love story that is full of conflict, reality, and mischief built with eccentric prose narratives. Naturally, Dilan 1991 found his stage again in Indonesian cinema.
Continuing the story of Dilan 1990, Dilan 1991 tells the relationship of Dilan and Milea who are officially dating. In the midst of their happiness, Dilan threatened to be fired from school due to his fight with Anhar.
Dilan also increasingly fights and get enemies. Milea is worried about Dilan's future if she is constantly involved in the problem. As Dilan's girlfriend, Milea feels entitled to forbid Dilan to get involved in a motorcycle gang.
One time, Dilan was beaten by a stranger. When Dilan found out who did it, he planned revenge.
Milea who was desperate because of the stubborn Dilan, finally asked Dilan to stop the motorcycle gang or their relationship ended.
Amid all the problems, Yugo, the son of his distant cousin Milea, had just returned from Belgium. For a few moments, they often spent time together. Yugo likes Milea. And Milea only loves Dilan.
Acting duo Iqbaal Ramadhan and Vanesha Prescilla are competent in describing the two teenagers who started their sudden relationship.
The long duration of 2 hours is the way directors Fajar Bustomi and Pidi Baiq compromise with the story of the novel. The collaboration of Titien Wattimmena's script, Pidi Baiq seems to have succeeded in building the consistency of the Dilan story as in the novel.
Dimas Imam Subono as cinematography also captured the nuances he wanted to convey in his romantic scenes well.
But unfortunately, this backfire for this movie as a whole. The composition of the music also almost does not sound so special, so he only exists as a friend to watch the film alone. Even so, Pidi Baiq is the key to this film in line with the novel.
Pidi Baiq has good jobs. He should even be praised for wanting to put the brakes on the Dilan puns that make readers fall in love with Dilan 199O. Because, he was well aware, during courtship the intensity of cheesiness did not need as much as the introduction of two teenagers before.
If the volume is the same as that of Dilan 199O it is questionable because it is not in line with the reality of people dating in the real world.
What was really disappointing from Dilan 1991 was precisely Dilan's attitude when Milea was officially his girlfriend.
We see, how difficult Milea to save her love for Dilan. She had to face the onslaught of guys who had a need her more.
Starting from Beni, her ex-boyfriend who has not been terminated, Kang Adi, her private teacher who is an ITB student, Yugo, a childhood friend who has just returned from Europe to Pak Dedi, an apprentice teacher at Milea High School.
She refused all the men for Dilan's sake. However, what did Dilan do?
Dilan is still Dilan, a combat commander, head of the motorcycle gang who will always be in trouble and invite enemies to beat him.
Dilan 1991 is a journey of teenagers who is increasingly complete, reality and makes the audience do not move and want to immediately wait for the next sequel.
In my opinion, the Dilan 1991 also deserves a rating 7/1O with a fairly impressive storyline. If you are curious about this movie, here I will show the trailer for you are
