Rheview #3 Bridezilla (2019): Boundary between personal and professional life.

Hello, welcome back!

I'd been busy doing my course lately. And now it comes the time to write a RHEVIEW. You may notice that many of my reviews are on romance/drama genre. You notice it right, my favourite genre is drama, especially that consist of family or friendship problems. And you know what, this movie provides those.

Let's get going

Bridezilla (2019): Boundary between personal and professional life.

Bridezilla (2019)

DISCLAIMER: SPOILER ALERT!

This movie was about Dara (Jessica Mila), a wedding organizer (WO) owner, who built this company with her best friend. After many successful events, this WO failed to bring Lucinta's wedding her best dream wedding. As a famous celebgram, Lucinta's influenced many people and vendors to take down Dara's business, and she succeeded. 

On her bad time, Alvin (Rio Dewanto) proposed Dara and she accepted it and ambitiously wanted to make her wedding as the wedding of the year, to regain her company reputation. Alvin asked Dara to not to be a bridezilla. Dara agreed but failed to keep her promise and she started to act like a bridezilla. But at the last minutes before her wedding, Dara threw her ambition to make her wedding as the wedding of the year, in order to maintain a good relationship with her fiancee, dad, and friends.

This movie introducing a new unique term: Bridezilla. Is this originated from Bride + Godzilla? Let's assume the answer is yes, since there's no clear clarification about that. In my view, bridezilla is a bride who wants a perfect wedding so she can proudly share it. I agree that a perfect wedding is a must, but perfect itself is relative. A thing that makes someone a bridezilla is that she causes chaos to pursue her dream, even rule out the essence of marriage: merging two souls, even two families. 

Dara's ambition comes unconsciously from her mother's dictation: "Wedding ceremony is only once, make it as good as memorable as possible." Add that to her current problem, and poof, she lost her control. Many career decisions are made over a close relationship, only to pursue her dream, even ignoring others' feelings. She even once lied about her problem to her one and only fiancee. She forgot all of Key's (Sheila Dara Aisha; Dara's best friend) contribution and stated that Key was doing nothing on their company. 

To be an angel, Key should understand Dara's feelings and ambitions. But, Key was not an angel, she is a human that also has feelings that need to be taken care of. But at the end of the day, Key forgave Dara, and willing to attend Dara's special day, even though she knew she would have late. Key's priority was Dara's need. Dara needed Key. This was awesome since most movies have an extreme character: if it's not a super angelic, then it must be a cruel friend. While in real life, it was rather a gradation than an extreme pole. 

What I feel as a minus from this movie is that its joke is soooo unnatural. It doesn't contain notable comedian, yet still want to make a comedy on it. The director should focus on its drama instead, since Dara's problem is way more complex and interesting to be crushed by a cringe comedy.  

Conclusion

Rate: Rheasonable. 7/10 for the relatable content. A must-watch-movie for an impending bride and groom so they don't falsely interpret the meaning of a wedding ceremony. 

From now on, I will not limit my duration of writing. If it's so long, so be it. I am afraid I will also limit my critical appraisal because of the time limit. Knowing I can't work under pressure, I don't like to be pressed on something that I like, writing.
Thanks for rheading, hope you enjoyed.
