Laskar Pelangi’: The Audacity of Hope

This is a movie adapted from a best-selling Indonesian novel. It took 40 days of filming on Belitung Island, Bangka-Belitung province. Involving 12 local actors, it reportedly cost Rp8 billion. With all the efforts of transforming Laskar Pelangi (Rainbow Warrior) into a moving picture, will it satisfy readers’ imaginations?

Laskar Pelangi, the novel, was written by Andrea Hirata in 2005, based on his own experiences. It is about an inspiring teacher and her 10 students in the poverty-stricken Kampung Gantong in Belitung. 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 Indonesia 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 nation’s bookshops and media review pages. It has finally overcome the domination of teen-lit, chick-lit and even religious novels, the popular theme of today.

Andrea entrusted the fi lming of the story to the respected figures in the film industry, Mira Lesmana and Riza, as producer and film director. In July 2007, Mira and Riri started the per-production, which took a year to finish. Together with the scriptwriter Salman Aristo they decided to create a different scenario for the film.

a. The movie was played by poor children

b. Andrea Hirata is the producer of Laskar Pelangi

c. The novel of Laskar Pelangi as a phenomenal work of literature

Halo Binar S, kakak bantu jawab ya.

Jawaban untuk soal di atas adalah C. The novel of Laskar Pelangi as a phenomenal work of literature.

Pada soal ini kamu diminta untuk menentukan informasi yang sesuai dengan teks.

Opsi A, D dan E salah karena tidak adanya informasi tentang film tersebut akan dimainkan oleh anak-anak miskin, ataupun informasi tentang kesukaan orang-orang pada film atau novelnya.

Opsi B salah karena pada kalimat pertama paragraf kedua, terdapat kalimat "Laskar Pelangi, the novel, was written by Andrea Hirata in 2005, based on his own experiences", yang artinya "Laskar Pelangi, novel tersebut, ditulis oleh Andrea Hirata pada tahun 2005, berdasarkan pengalamannya sendiri". Jadi Andrea Hirata adalah penulis novel Laskar Pelangi, bukan produser filmnya.

Sedangkan opsi C benar karena di awal paragraf ketiga tertulis "Two years later, the novel became a phenomenon in Indonesia literature", yang artinya "Dua tahun kemudian, novel tersebut menjadi fenomena dalam sastra Indonesia".

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah C. The novel of Laskar Pelangi as a phenomenal work of literature.

Semoga membantu ya.
