Punk In Love's Review

In communication discipline, inter culture communication actually is a good story to talking about. And movie could become effective media to become a channel for this type of communication. But, not all movie could become channel. One of them who could become the channel is Punk In Love movie. Whose I thought have already try to become the bridge for punk community as a minority with general society as a majority. Because of that, Punk In Love movie is a film that I thought deserve enough to become one of movie that you must see.

Movie which tell a story about street punk’s life is really unique. Look, in the middle of rebellion theme and background of the characters, there is still comedy and romantic here. Many friends of me even say that this movie has more comedy and romantic than punk itself. But, I still give a credit to story of punk which the director (Ody C. Harahap) try to build in this movie. Entertain enough for me, and even make my friends laugh so hard when seeing this movie.

Punk In Love which made by Raam Punjabi and MVP Pictures is tell about four friends in Malang city. They are Arok (Vino G. Bastian), Yoji (Andhika Pratama), Almira (Aulia Sarah), and also Mojo (Yogi Firnanda). Story began when Arok trying to kill himself when he covered that his “love death” in Jakarta will get married soon. Then his friends make him realize that he should go to Jakarta to chase her and not kill him self like an idiot. And finally, they go to Jakarta, without any plan and source to meet Maia (Girindra Kara), the girl in Arok’s dreams.

They doing really long journey and also a lot of problem that they faced, from get lost in Bromo, visit cemetery in Blitar, get flop in Semarang, and other funny stories. When they get closer to their goal, suddenly Mojo get hurts in his left foot and also get infected. It was really serious hurt and can make Mojo get killed if not get first aid. Poor Mojo, the nearest hospital is reject to cure him! So what the ending of this movie? Will Mojo make it and survive? Will Arok meet Maia? Just see this movie yourself, by original VCD and DVD off course.

The thing that we should notice is a role from each cast here is really interesting. Two main character here is Andika Pratama and Vino G Bastian according to my opinion. Vino who has become the old face from movies with this genre is no longer strange for us. His previous starred movie such as “REALITA CINTA DAN ROCK N ROLL”, and also “RADIT DAN JANI” is already talking about naughty boy and success enough. And like usual, his sexy body still become the main product here. So what about Andika Pratama? As long as I know, movies that he played is never talking about this genre. Even in his previous movies, he playing as a cool and serious boy. But in this movie he become very different people. A funny punker who like “dangdut” music so much. He become one of main fun character in this movie. Salute to him.

So, I think overall this movie is good enough to get my recommendation to you who wants to see a movie. Of course as a communication college, I also see some communication aspect in this movie. What is that? Well, just see this movie guys.
