JAKARTA - Acting as a person with special needs in Miracle In Cell No. 7, actor Vino G Bastian admitted that he had consulted a psychologist to explore the role. This Dodo actor wants to explore his character so that it is close to real life.

"I was imagining something but it turned out to be back to disability itself. Because this is an intellectual disability, we can't improvise that is too extraordinary. Because later it will be a different approach," said Vino, quoted from ANTARA, Friday, August 26.

"Finally I was met by a psychologist who was visited by Falcon. Then I was still not satisfied, I came to my child's school and talked to the psychologist and psychiatrist there. Finally I met again to look for a role model at one of the orphanages in West Jakarta," he continued.

In addition, according to Vino, playing a film that was adapted is quite difficult. Because, the audience will definitely compare with the original film. However, Vino hopes that the audience will not only see this film as an adaptation but can also take an important message in it.

"It's hard to be compared. The original is definitely the best because it's the original. Even a successful remake won't work like that because if there isn't an original. So I say whatever the original film is, it's the best. the springboard for the remake," said Vino.

"However, I hope that potential viewers don't see this as just a remake, even those who don't understand say this is plagiarism. But this is our appreciation that there is a great work there and has an extraordinary message that we want to adapt here so that it there is no language gap. So people can see the goodness in this film more closely," he continued.

After playing the role of a father who has an intellectual disability, Vino admits that his perspective on people with special needs has changed. Now, Vino views that God created every human being justly. Because even though they have weaknesses, everyone with special needs must have advantages that even people who are considered normal don't have.

"Because God is just. Behind those shortcomings, they have an extraordinary advantage," he continued.
