Watching the film is like completing the imagination of the news cases of abuse Angeline (actual
figures). Of course there are some parts that find (dramatic) that the duration of the film and the
audience understand enough about the cause and effect of torture.There are further explained
what and why, but it is how it is. So do not be surprised if Angeline often tortured after the
death of John, that's roughly a message that can be captured.

After understanding the source of the problem, we will be more enjoy watching this movie and
dissolved in it. And we began to shed tears when Angeline read his life story on stage. Rather
than tell you about a mother like the others, she tells of Luna (doll) who do not have a mother.
The story flows until finally she tells the love John, her father.Series of story created at the
beginning of abstract and finally began to see a bright spot problems. Acting Kinaryosih, Naomi
Ivo, Teuku Rifnu Wikana, Roweina Umboh, and other players look natural and nice. Acting
make them grow the emotion with a very supportive background.

Judging from the plot, the violence experienced by Angeline triggered by financial problems.
Where Terry (played by Roweina Umboh), Angeline foster mother was unhappy when her
husband, John (played by Hans De Kraker) favored Angeline considered merely adopted children
compared with her children, Kevin. Then, after John died, Terry and his son Kevin increasingly
being arbitrarily against Angeline. It is pathetic in this film is not humane attitude Terry and Kevin
forced Angeline to eat cat food their pet and were not allowed to eat human food (rice once), in
addition to every day be rewarded blow. Angeline really treated very badly because it is equated
with animals. Therefore, the plot is actually made what.

Making good although visible if the budget is less than the maximum. The impression rush is
quite noticeable but did not reduce the strong depiction setting. Setting, and culture is very
strong. Ritual prayer / prayer each morning, daily prayer rituals, obligations hair braiding
elementary school children by red ribbon, the anniversary of mothersday also some typical
places in Bali shown so that the setting does not look like a patch. Very unique and distinctively.

Untuk Angeline movie made to make us more concerned about what happen around us,
especially children. Because of violence in children who experienced very sorrow . Untuk
Angeline movie made very nice views of all elements cinematography. No wonder if we watch
this makes us shed a tear. The film is worth watch all the circles and movie is dedicated to the
children nationwide.
