Aluna U Gie, adapted from Soe Hok Gie’s diary Catatan Seorang Demonstran, skillfully brings to life the passionate and critical youth through strong performances, especially by Nicholas Saputra. The film’s well-structured story and aesthetic choices, including language, color, and music, enrich the viewing experience despite some inconsistent character development and unnecessary scenes. Overall, it remains a compelling drama worth watching repeatedly for its emotional depth and portrayal of a complex historical figure.

And also that Gie's aspirations for Indonesia to be upstanding the corruption and the false power of authority by the goverment is very profound. "Lebih baik diasingkan daripada menyerah kemunafikan." Gie is one among of the most influential and the best Indonesian films that whole-heartedly filmed, has amazingly great performance and thoughtfully profound thoughts. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member wah, RT has the database for this movie XD under the wave of horror-pornographic movies, this was the most patriotic movie at that moment. it might lack cinematic impression (supposedly because of first-person POV) but it contained big and strong thinking concept. well, at last, i suppose this movie is good enough for Indonesian because of their historical background and present poor mindset. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Cerminan pemuda yg pemberani, gag mau jd pengikut, pengkritik pemerintahan yg tajam, hingga membuatnya memiliki banyak musuh. Soe Hok Gie adalah gambaran mahasiswa yg cerdas, dari pemikirannya, dari tulisannya, dari ide2nya. Inspiratif, tp agak keras, susah diatur, sedikit lunak mungkin lebih baik, mungkin. Karena orang jadinya lbih menilai apa yg disampaikan oleh Gie sbgai suatu kritik yg merusak, bukan ide yg cemerlang. Seorang idealis sejati. Namun, Gie harus meninggal di usia muda, meninggal saat melakukan kegiatan yang amat disukainya, mendaki gunung (Gunung Semeru). Apkah kecelakaan yg dialami Gie hingga membuatnya meninggal murni karena kecelakaan? Kecelakaan yg wajar dialami oleh pendaki gunung? Bukan konspirasi? Entahlah....
