JAKARTA - The corona virus pandemic or COVID-19 is still endemic in a number of countries, including Indonesia.

There are many ways to please yourself while at home, one of which is by watching movies. VOI has recommendations regarding several films about social distancing that you can watch as references. Look here, yes!

The Truman Show (1997)

Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey) has it all: a harmonious household, a supportive family, and a career that takes off and is not showered with any illness. Until one time he felt something strange behind all the beauty. Burbank is just a television show actor recorded 24 hours non-stop in a city.

Home Alone (1990)

When it comes to keeping away from the public, Macaulay Culkin has been doing it since the movie Home Alone. At that time, he stayed at home because his family left on vacation to Paris.

Watching Tom Hanks have to be quarantined due to the corona virus he is suffering from may remind some people of his role as Chuck in the film Cast Away.

However, one day her mother, Joy Newsome (Brie Larson) said there was a world bigger than her room.
