All The Bright Places (Movie Review)

By: Naufal Ubaidillah

If I were to use only two words to describe this movie it’s surely going to be: “Elle Fanning”.

She is so stunning and witty, yet so fragile. But that is perfect for these kind of romantic comedy movies. And at the end of the movie, I saw that she is also the producer of the movie. Not just the main character! Well, together with Justice Smith.

I want to look at this note again many years from now, and I am telling my future self: be deliriously happy! Wait, that was from “Meet Joe Black! Hmmm, I am going to say: “there will always be bright places even in the darkest of times.”

And may I add: “because we rely on the Creator of time and space Himself, Allah The All-Powerful and Compassionate, we shall always find the bright atmosphere.”

We are here to be eternal, and we are indeed eternal beings, so no need to put yourself inside these madness. Well, a different kind of madness is needed sometimes. The kind that will bring you ounce of excitement, that even if you go until the end of time, you will never get over. And you feel all poignant and exuberant. You scream, “I AM ALIVE! I AM ETERNAL!” Those spirits are always needed once in a while. So throw away all the worries. Hakuna Matata. No Worries.
