    Indonesia movie legend ,which makes Indonesia's tv stations produce more and more soap opera contained 'teenage stupid romance series'

    'Ada apa dengan cinta?' actually is one of the most brilliant act in Indonesian movie industry .

    'Ada apa dengan cinta?' has every things in teenage arts lists . There's great music , great literature , great nationality things and many other things that can make this movie called a Masterpiece .

    'Ada apa dengan cinta?' got a perfect casting especially choosing the Dian Sastro as Cinta and Nicolas Saputra as Rangga , they both made perfect chemistry .

    'Ada apa dengan cinta?' just very Indonesia especially with it's slang words and Jakarta Public School setting , the classic setting of Jakarta Public school which adapted in now days Tv series .

    Don't forget about the score , it's way old-fashioned but it's very memorable and quite classic , choosing Melly Goeslaw and Anto Hoed as the artist for this movie's score just fitted and the music just very appealing.

    'Ada apa dengan Cinta?' is a surely must watch Indonesia movie .

    Perempuan datang atas nama cinta
    Bunda pergi karena cinta
    Digenangi air racun jingga adalah wajahmu
    Seperti bulan lelap tidur di hatimu
    yang berdinding kelam dan kedinginan
    Ada apa dengannya
    Meninggalkan hati untuk dicaci
    Lalu sekali ini aku melihat karya surga
    dari mata seorang hawa
    Ada apa dengan cinta?

    Tapi aku pasti akan kembali
    dalam satu purnama
    untuk mempertanyakan kembali cintanya..
    Bukan untuknya, bukan untuk siapa
    Tapi untukku
    Karena aku ingin kamu
    Itu saja.

    "Ada Apa Dengan Cinta?" is the Indonesian teen movie that broke box office records in Indonesia in 2001 and has proven hugely popular in screenings overseas as well. Produced by a group of young filmmakers, who are starting to win prizes abroad, it represents a new optimism in Indonesia consonant with the expectations of the post-Suharto reform generation.
    A sharply etched yet humorous love story of growing infatuation, ambivalence and near misunderstanding between two idealistic teenagers (Cinta and Rangga) at a high school in Jakarta, this sophisticated and charming film provides an engaging portrait of young people from the middle classes in a major Asian capital city. Cinta (the name means "love") is a member of a teenage girl gang and we first see her in this context. The rather isolated Rangga is a budding poet. When Rangga wins the school poetry competition, Cinta, who also writes poetry and helps edit the student Bulletin Board, wants to interview him, but meets with refusal. Rangga is passionate about the literature of his country, but is alienated from his fellow students due to the break up of his parents' marriage and the political oppression of his father. Cinta sets out to understand this puzzle.
    The film deploys the usual conventions of the genre of the teen romance, but deliberately adds in other elements - calculated use of Jakarta teenage slang, allusions to creative and radical figures in literature and cinema in Indonesia, who stand as role models for the young people, and references to continuing political problems in Indonesia. Underneath its glossy surface and its romantic resolution, the film is asking questions about the idealism of young people and suggesting to teenagers that they think harder about the problems posed by their society and by relations between men and women.

    I sincerely give an applause for this one amazing indonesian movie. Hats off! AADC surpasses everyone's expectation. No doubt, to me this is Indonesia's best movie ever!! This is the very first time I am really in love with Indonesian movie.
    The poems are real jaw drapper and true instead of repulsive. Though the story itself is quite simple but still beautiful. Dian Sastro acts beautifully natural and realistic. She and Nicholas Saputra are excellent fits to play the roles. They might be young but the have succesfully showed a lot of promises and talent.
    This this the one Indonesia movie that deserves a standing ovation. The main soundtrack Ada Apa Dengan Cinta? by Melly Goeslaw and Anto Hoed is also amazing yet it deserves the FFI award of best music composing. I actually hope someday Indonesia movie production rise from the ashes and able to compete globally. Indeed, Indonesia is working on the improvement and the results is quite promising, such as Denias : Senandung di Atas Awan, Berbagi Suami, GIE (also by Nicholas Saputra), and of course, Ayat-ayat Cinta.
    A MUST WATCH foreign language speaking movie.

    classic. slickly done teen movie, with enough literary substance (not that much) to get kids hooked on poems.

    this's the first of indonesian Freedom Movie, you know since 1966 after Soeharto had as the first President and be the one of power politics, there're not freedom in Indonesia, as anythink else, all of people not freedom for their art, music, job, work, live, and more social forces.

    in soeharto first era there are't critical or good movie, most of movie just to arround about BODY of Women, sex, kiss, soeharto just support of "blue film movie",but he shall be anggry if you make a social or politics movie, there for indonesian movia not good and bout in naratie and not good research

    after soeharto fall in from the otorians totaliter goverment, '"What's Up with Love" was born. congreethulations
