I saw Garuda Di Dadaku along with other families who brought all of their children inside a full house 220-seat-theatre. Unlike if you watch this in a place where Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen also play, this movie would be filled with less than 50 people who really want to enjoy it. In my opinion, children who watch this movie was encouraged by their parents or their proud nationality. Such a contrast if compared to spoilt, noisy little children who watched TF2 without really knowing the story itself.
The story of this movie is about a boy named Bayu (Emir Mahira) whose father was a soccer player. Bayu lived with his mother and his ambitious grandfather (Ikranagara). Inside his heart, Bayu knew that he was a born soccer player, so with the help of his friends, he applied to Arsenal Soccer School. From that prestigious soccer school, he became more excited to join the U-13 Indonesian Soccer Team. However, he needed to keep these things secret from his grandfather who despised soccer very much.
The movie started energetically with the song by the band Netral titled the same as the movie. The story of the movie is encouraging, in a big quantity also quality. There is genuinely entertaining funny moments also. However, according to me, there is one scene that is unneeded. The scene where Darma's father tried to bribe the coach Johan, it doesn't relate to the movie or maybe there's a message there: you can not buy your way, especially when you're too old. One confusing thing also: did the coach already cross out Bayu's name from the team? How can Bayu come to the team again? Despite those things, Garuda Di Dadaku is one of Indonesia's quality movie of all time. Furthermore, there are also other good movies releasing this summer like Ketika Cinta Bertasbih and King. Garuda Di Dadaku: graded B+
