Last week, my family and I went to the cinemas to watch 'Bumi Manusia'. The lead actor was Iqbaal Ramadhan. He used to be a member of Cowboy Junior, or CJR for short.
The movie lasted for 3 hours but it honestly wasn't that long, cuz I was so immersed in the movie.

The movie was set back to when Indonesia was still colonized.
One day, Minke (Iqbaal) and his friend went to someone's house. Once they arrived, they met someone by nthe name of Darsam. He guards their house. Once they exchanged Hellos with someone that lived in that house, they sat on the terrace. Then, a beautiful girl came out and had a conversation with Minke. She then allowed him to come inside the house and wander around. That girl was named Annelise Malema.
They ran to the backyard and to everywhere. Just then, Annelise tripped. Minke then helped her up... Then kissed her-
UWU
They had dinner together, and that's when Ann's father came in and insulted Minke and said how he was a monkey and other stuff. Then Nyai (Ann's mother) yelled at him to stop and go to his room.
They started getting closer to eachother. Ann was always so worried about Minke. That was how Minke ended up living with them. Minke's father, however didn't really like him living and being close to their family. But I guess he got used to it(?).
Minke and Ann got married and stuff, they were in a state of euphoria. But after that, disaster struck.
In a blink of an eye, Nyai got held up at court and Ann's father died of poisoning in a club. Then it was said that Nyai was innocent. But that wasn't it.
After that happened, it led to people not believing the fact that Minke and Annelise are married.
Long story short, Ann got sent to Netherlands while Minke and Nyai weren't even allowed to escort her on her way there. They closed the gates but still, some people got in, even if they had to kill the people guarding the gates. The ending brought tears to lots of people. Minke and Nyai could only watch their Annelise being taken away from them...
