Who is Dilan? His somewhat fictional figure is indeed able to make him curious. Through sweet words in his novel, it’s so easy to make the reader blush. Dilan fans now can see the figure of adolescents and all their worlds through the medium of film. Sure enough, Dilan 1990 boomed, even since the time of preproduction. Dilan fans are made curious, who will play the character Dilan? Since its release, this film has earned two hundred thousand viewers in two days. Fajar Bustomi directed the film production of Falcon Picture and Max Picture. Iqbaal Ramadhan plays the figure of Dilan, and Vanesha Prescilla plays Milea. Both of them are not familiar with the acting world, but their actings were quite good in this film.
Watching Dilan 1990 certainly has a lot of expectations, especially for Dilan Novel fans. Apart from the novel, this film tells the story of Dilan through the perspective of Milea with a simple plot and with a background story in Bandung, 1990. This film focuses on the unique 1990 era romance reflected in the figure of Dilan. Milea is a beautiful and innocent girl approached by Dilan, who is delinquent but ridiculous and romantic. Milea, who was dating long distance with Beni, was slowly being melted by the figure of Dilan. Dilan uniquely approached Milea. His words that were said to be insignificant made Milea feel that Dilan was not an annoying person.
Dilan 1990 presented the style of approach to a girl in his day and turned out to be an exciting thing to watch today. There is no smartphone, let alone email, to communicate. They gave the news to each other by telephone. Simple. The way Dilan approaches Milea is presented in full throughout the film. Do not forget, as a student, Dilan is known as a naughty member of a motorcycle gang. Although a delinquent, he always acts very sweet with Milea.
The story of Dilan and Milea in this film is indeed straightforward but full of unusual conversations that make this film not dull. The story’s presentation is also dense and bright from when they met until conflicts emerge and the final resolution. This film successfully presents a sweet romance for the audience. The story raised the era of that year, but the setting of the 90s felt so weak that the 90s generation might fail to reminisce. Weak artistic arrangement depicts the old school era making this film not as sweet as the story.
