Strong woman checklist.

[RHZlubis · 10/10 · 3 May 2020]

Never rate a movie this high, but I don't find something I don't like. Big appreciation must be given for this work.

This movie did not exaggerate life, since every issues that come literally may happen on our life. It realizes us that we can not finish every things and problems. We need to relinquish sometimes.

Nina's character development is REALLY that good: from what-I-think-the-most-is-business-and-achievement into something more personal that I-don't-care-if-I-don't-gain-anything-but-this-is-my-duty.

If I have met Nina in real life, I would support her and thank her for her life lesson. She is a strong woman, and suffocating life won't destroy her.

An acceptance of life

Luck is matter, is part of the plot. Yasnina is a broken women at end of 30s. Actually in the movie Yasnina is 29 years old, but personally I would say it should be end of 30s which might explained her hardship and maturity, also knowing that Atiqah Hasiholan at that time is around 37 years old. Yasnina is broken at everything, Yasnina's broken relationship -married at age of 20 but husband died, broken career -falling business. Yasnina unfortunate life is the plot of the movie, as she is orphan, once able to conquer the corporate world, but falling again. The life is not so nice to Yasnina. Well I understand that this movie is not popular as this tell the truth, a sad, not a happy ending life. An acceptance of life -an "I believe in life"

The movie is about relationship, not only with other people, but with self. I really like to watch this movie. Good one, is not happy ending, unpredictable movie, but it has a very beautiful conclusion. At the end Atiqah become shaman, which is a role that really fit her, as she is experienced financial advisor -shaman is not a day to day job that can be learned within a years. Shaman need not only knowledge but the real life experienced on the hardship of life, as shaman is required and expected to provide a wisdom to that god-level like. It is symbolized with a question "Have you married? As the shaman can not be a unmarried" this question is symbolized the plot of this movie.

Technically, a lot of part of this movie is so relatable, e.g the part of selling the house is realistic enough, mortgage at bank 400 million, the only money that the old shaman has only 175 million, Yasnina counter offer of 25% from 2 billion, which around 500 million, more than twice of the offer. The shaman character is very interesting, she is not all expert, a bit egoistic, realistic character. Originally I thought this is a corporate setting movie or some kind of hotel / management movie. I never thought this is relation between shaman and the girl can be so deep and the character exploration of Yasnina is very good one. Five star movie, not a typical black and white movie. At the end there is no villain or bad guy. Beautiful.

Doesn't make any sense

The acting of the main character is great and natural. But I suggest for anyone who will watch this movie to not think with logic. Everything that happened in this movie is not logic at all as a human being.
