Critical Evaluation 

The plot of the movie that touches the heart by starring actors and actresses who are very extraordinary in playing their roles very stunningly and succeeding in bringing their respective characters to life, such as in the acting of Vino G.Bastian as Dodo Rozak and Graciella as Kartika who gave expressions as well as very touching chemistry between father and daughter. so that I as an audience was carried away on an emotional journey of laughter, tears as well as family warmth. The film has been adapted to Indonesia, for example, such as culture, dialogue, and with cinematography that supports good emotions in each scene, as seen that the social setting here shows the culture of Indonesia, where when Dodo is described as a simple father who works as a balloon seller. relationships between characters that are more familiar with the lives of Indonesian people so as to make the audience more touched. also supported by the selection of Soundtrack songs that touch the heart, such as theme songs that strengthen the emotional atmosphere.  

In my personal opinion as a lover of South Korean dramas and films who have also watched the original version of the film earlier, I admit that this film is very extraordinary, one of which is because this film does not change the story much from the original version in South Korea, but there are several parts of the story that are different from the original version, especially in emphasizing social issues which is the core criticism of the original version of the film. In addition, not all supporting characters are given adequate story development, for example, the supporting characters of cell occupant number 7 only display comedic elements without having a clear background or motivation in the actions they take. as an added value for this film is that this film can be watched for all ages, so even children can watch and the moral messages can be applied to the family environment. 

Conclusion 

But in the end, the Indonesian version of the movie “Miracle In Cell No.7” is very successful in making its audience laugh, moved and cry. because this movie illustrates the power of family love and the miracles that happen when you have good-hearted people who are willing to sacrifice anything to help each other. No wonder this movie also received many awards after its release. This movie is suitable to be enjoyed with family, especially to strengthen emotional connection and to understand each other.
