JAKARTA - Miracle Cell No. 7 can be watched by all ages. Not only teenagers and adults who are touched when watching, many children are moved to watch it. Several videos showing the children's response after watching the film, starring Vino G Bastian, made Director Hanung Bramantyo trendyuh.

"O Allah, son. I don't know what is the story behind his sadness. What is clear, is that I want to hold it," wrote Hanung on Instagram when re-uploading a viral video on TikTok.

In the video uploaded by @amw903, it appears that a child can't hold back tears until he stays sitting after the film ends. Several other children tried to relax and strengthen it.

The video received a response from the Child Psychologist at Pondok Indah Hospital Bintaro Jaya, Jane Cindy Linardi, M.Psi, Psi. "Films generally involve emotions from each character. In terms of storytelling, the audience is brought in to get to know the characters first, so that the audience builds a 'empat' on these characters, and also feels the emotions of these characters," he explained.

With the merger of musical elements, the atmosphere of the audience is easy to dissolve. "The music is also chosen that is appropriate and usually the purpose of the music is to build emotions that are being shown in film scenes. For children who cry and hug their parents after watching, it means they have good emotional sensitivity," he explained.

Children who cry are reasonable, meaning they can 'empat' with the characters in the film and feel sad too. "It can also be later parents who invite their children to watch, ask their children what they feel after watching the film, they can dig deeper," he said.

Jane Cindy, who has watched the film, praised Vino G Bastian's acting. "Incidentally, I have watched the film, it is very good in describing the close relationship between my father and his child. In addition, Vino G. Bastian (Dodo players) can deliver Dodo's character as an individual with very good intellectual disabilities. This can also help ordinary people to be more aware of individual conditions with intellectual disabilities," he said when contacted Tuesday, September 20.

According to Jane, it can also be seen how children (Kartika) play a role as 'parents' for their parents who have special conditions. This actually happens a lot in the real world, children take care of their parents because of their parents' conditions that are not possible so that they can touch their children's empathy.

"And in this film it is very good to describe the concept of 'child parenting' in Kartika's scene of preparing provisions, towels, and changing clothes for his father to work, then reminding his father to eat, and when his father works selling balloons, his son delivers his balloons and asks the buyer for a fair fee," he explained.

Like other films, Jane asks parents who invite their children to watch movies to the cinema to provide assistance. Responding to scenes that children cannot understand.

"In Miracle Cell No 7, for example, parents are expected to educate their children, especially in the scenes of beating Dodo characters. Then the concept of'murder' and 'rape' which the police accuse of to Dodo figures, parents can explain according to the age of the child. For children aged 7 years and under: explain as much as possible. For example: murder can be explained by 'for sure Dodo pushed his client's child into the pool, so the child drowned and died," he suggested.

So how do you explain the concept of rape? "Children can be explained that 'Dodo characters hold private body parts and the genitals of their clients." It is hoped that children at that age have also received sex education so they already understand the concept of 'bad touch' which is intended. In children aged 8 years and over, those who have started to understand the abstract concept can be explained in more detail," he continued.

There are several scenes that children may find difficult to understand. Therefore, don't forget to ask your child's comments after watching and make sure to answer things they can't understand.

"For example, a joke that seems to have grazed, namely when the scene of Tora Sudiro (Jaki) wanting to find a name for his son. Supposedly for a joke like this, the children were not too aware. Unless maybe the children are pre-teen/teenager, they are usually more aware," he concluded.
