A Review on 99 Cahaya di Langit Eropa Part 1 99 Cahaya di Langit Eropa Part 1 (99 Lights at the Sky of Europe Part 1) is a 2013 Islamic Indonesian movie directed by Guntur Soeharjanto and written by Alim Sudio. The movie casts Acha Septriasa, Abimana Aryasatya, and Raline Shah. The movie is based on Hanum Salsabiela Rais and Rangga Almahendra, 99 Cahaya di Langit Eropa (2011), that based on their true story. It was released at theatres on November 29, 2013. The movie takes the theme of religion and Islamic history in Europe. The story begins when Hanum (Acha Septriasa), and her husband Rangga (Abimana Aryasatya) are embracing their new life in Vienna, Austria, after Rangga accepts a scholarship for graduate school. Hanum then meets Fatma (Raline Shah), a Turkish lady who shows her the many traces of Islam’s inheritance and history throughout Europe. She tried to make amends her forefathers who failed to conquer Europe with a sword and a cannon. Now she tried again with a more elegant way, with a smile the width and depth of the ocean humility. Meanwhile, Rangga and his Pakistani friend Khan (Alex Abbad) also struggle to adjust to their Islamic life, especially when it comes to halal food and praying space. They are exposed to new values, which often clash with their religious lifestyle. They all receive so many disrespecfulness from people there. But, all they do is give kindness to them. And then they turn to be respectful and nice to them. After soaking herself in the history of Islam in and around Vienna, Hanum decided she wants to see more. Fatma puts her in touch with Marion (Dewi Sandra), a French woman who converted to Islam after learning about the religion’s history. Hanum’s journey will be portrayed in the second installment of the movie. Guntur also added extra bits to enhance the drama in the movie. One of these parts comes when Rangga teaches his friend Stefan (Nino Fernandez), who is very skeptical about Islam, to fast. It is a scene close to reality, as fasting is a religious activity that usually alarm non- Muslim people.
This film represented the whole novel with more simple words. It easier to understand the movie rather than the novel. The moral value delivered well. This film shows the beauty of many European country and many historical traces in Europe. Maxima Pictures was working with the European Union while making while making the movie. According to the Guntur, he didn't mind the potrayal of secularism in the story. It was pretty interesting that Hanum decided to choose Maxima Pictures, mostly known for making cheap horror movies such as Air Terjun Pengantin. Overall, 99 Cahaya di Langit Eropa is an amazing religion movie. The movie take the Austria view and other country in Europe. Although this movie tells about Islamic atmosphere, didn't stop people with other religion to watch it. This film is very recommended to watch.
