Novel dilan 1991
Idealized, youthful romances filled with starry-eyed optimism definitely has its audience, and tickets are flying off the shelves because the movie certainly delivers on its promises.ĭilan 1991’s forte is its silly romantic lines, and they more than make up for the silliness. Its cheesiness, however, is what makes the Dilan movies and books so charming. In fact, it is so cheesy that you might as well have a glass of cabernet sauvignon to pair with it. While Iqbaal’s star power is certainly enough to fill theater seats on its own, his delivery of the cheesy lines is sure to get them swooning. It seems the role is tailor-made for him.Īnd yes, Dilan 1991 is as cheesy as it can be. The archetype of the "troubled but cute bad boy with a heart of gold" has been around for a long time, and Iqbaal’s character perfectly encapsulates the trope. It even becomes more sugary-sweet with Milea constantly telling Dilan that she wants to love him forever. Instead of terrorizing neighborhoods, his gang rides together to celebrate that he and Milea are finally dating. The first half of Dilan 1991 explores the pair’s initial elation at finally becoming an "official" couple, with shots of the two riding Dilan’s motorcycle around the everlastingly romantic and breezy Bandung of the 1990s while engaging in the affectionate banter that seems to be the main appeal of the franchise.ĭilan’s relationship with Milea is the kind of wholesome romance you only see in fiction, even with his supposedly bad-boy image from being part of a rowdy biker gang. Just like Galih – Ratna, Rangga – Cinta, the story of Dilan and Milea might also transcend time and generation.Dilan, who is still part of a motorcycle gang, constantly gets into fights, which worries Milea to no end. Still sugarcoated with sweet and cheesy lines from Dilan, a bad boy who loves to write poetry, Dilan 1991 is not poetic at all but more likely pathetic.Īlthough Dilan 1990 and Dilan 1991 are just subpar movies, but the movies are success in convincing the audience that Dilan is not just some boy and Milea is not just some girl. The romance of Dilan and Milea is still the only one selling point of this movie, but it’s not as fresh as its predecessor. But yet, he is not funny at all and doesn’t give any impact to the movie. The teacher of Indonesian language and letters who fall in love with his student. Pak Dedi (Ence Bagus) also has a great potential to become a funny character and comic relief of the whole story. But with how Yugo is depicted, he is just like an ordinary cameo. The conflict that arise with Yugo’s character can actually make the whole plot has more ups-and-downs and shows that Dilan finally has a rival, a nice and warm-hearted guy.
We can see Milea has a problem with Dilan’s activity to a bike gang, the story of Milea with Yugo (Jerome Kurnia), Milea and Kang Adi (Refal Hady), Dilan and how he is running away from home, and Milea’s strong relationship with Dilan’s mother (Ira Wibowo).ĭilan 1991 have two new strong potential characters, Yugo and Pak Dedi. The plot seems doesn’t have a focus, too many things and problems exists without any strong understanding of how do they happen. The flirts and pick-up lines are still there but they are becoming more and more boring. But the problem is that the conflicts are flat and hard to relate for a teenage romance. The sequel shows more about the reality of relationship with all of its conflict instead of the sweety happily-ever-after love story. Still coated with many cheesy pick-up lines, the romance of Dilan and Milea is still the main plot of Dilan 1991.
