Miracle in Cell No. 7 (Indonesia)

Easily a tear jerking movie.

The hall was sobbing. The story telling is amazing, it didn’t let you wander off. Until the last 15 minutes of the movie, the pace pick up (when they decided to fight for Hendro and Linda custody right of Kartika in court). Definitely a different mood; earlier you feel wrapped by all kind of nice loving feeling to witness Kartika’s relationship with all her father’s friends, now you fired up you want to fight for justice.

It ends with our victory (of course, we are to invested in this family) and to end this, the atmosphere turn melancholic again, with Kartika’s imagining of “meeting” her late parent in a “last send off”. The hall is again weeping. I watched this last month, so I dont remember if this is where Mahalini’s rendition of Mencintaimu is playing. But that song is what triggered everyone tear glands to break

It’s a nice feeling movie for easy watching. It’s the second movie, but it will be easy to understand if you didn’t watch the first. Maybe life is too hard these days people cry over the sight of loving parents to their child.

It is ok to cry, we are human with feelings.
