          Who has never heard about the romantic story of Romeo and Juliet? That’s the romance story everyone understands. Now, Indonesia has the movie with the same touching feeling as the masterpiece of Shakespeare. Yes, it is the movie entitled “Habibie and Ainun”. “Habibie and Ainun”  is a movie in which the story is taken from a novel written by Mr. Habibie himself, it tells about the love story of him and his wife, Mrs. Ainun. I don’t know why, I’m so amazed by this movie which is made from a novel. Here is the synopsis.

         This couple met when they were still in the junior high school in 1962, and they met again in Bandung. Habibie soon fell in love to  Ms. Ainun, his “sweet sugar girl”. But for Habibie, he did not only love her. For him, Ms. Ainun was the source of his spirit to get his vision and mission. They got married and lived in German.

          To have a dream is not easy. They absolutely knew that. Their love was built by the times they spent to reach that dream. The cold weather of German, struggle, pain, loneliness, also the temptation of power and wealth when they came back to Indonesia became the fillers of their life journey.

          For Habibie, Ainun was everything. Ainun was the eyes for him to see his life. For Ainun, Habibie was the filler for her heart. Habibie was her everything. But, every dream has the limit. Every story will end. And in a point, this soulmates became brittle. Will their love last forever?

          This film is a very good film full of romantic scenes and we will keep in curious while we’re watching it. Every scenes seems to be the real story of the real character, Habibie. The story itself is interesting and different with other kind of story. The faithful can being educate the young generation to have the same nationalism and being honesty like Habibie had as a president and a husband.

But, I don’t recommend this film to be watched by kids under 15 years old because there are some scenes that are not proper to be seen by kids. Then, this film does not really completely tell the story of Habibie and Ainun. For example, the film doesn’t show any scenes of Habibie and Ainun when they were in Batam. And also, this film only tells the story from the good side, when actually, in the reality there are the bad side from Habibie’s life.

Well, even so, this story is still a very great film that I can say this film has the same quality as Romeo and Juliet. For me, this story that mix the romance and nationalism side is very interesting. Without any doubt, I very recommend this film very much.
