JAKARTA - Director Jon M. Chu presents Wicked: For Good, the highly anticipated second installment of the Wicked saga, especially for those who have followed the Wizard of Oz.
Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, and Ethan Slather remain in the film, with new cast members Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum.
Wicked: For Good tells the story of Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), who has exiled herself to the forest of Oz. She is considered an evil witch and has forced the animals to leave Oz.
Meanwhile, Glinda (Ariana Grande) is now considered a good figure and leads Oz to make the world a better place. Glinda also immediately announces her engagement to Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey), without giving Elphaba a second thought.
When the citizens of Oz attempt to find and curse Elphaba, Glinda begins to panic. Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh), who presides over Oz, reassures Glinda that everything will be fine.
Elphaba initially wants to remain in hiding, but upon hearing Oz's rule that animals must leave, Elphaba sets out to save all the animals who are about to be expelled from their home, ultimately meeting Glinda again.
Wicked: For Good is both a completion and a conclusion that make the Wicked story compelling. The separation of Elphaba and Glinda, along with various misunderstandings, forms a relationship that makes this film deeply moving.
The various plot points presented in the first film are resolved in the second, clarifying the characters' motives and journeys.
Starting with the touching and emotional friendship between Glinda and Elphaba, the frustrating yet compelling love triangle between Fiyero and Glinda and Elphaba is also revealed. The presence of Dorothy, who was teased in the first film, is also revealed.
Wicked: For Good also features a number of catchy songs, particularly the duets between the various cast members, including Jeff Goldblum and Ariana Grande.
The collaboration between Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo once again evokes the emotional connection between their characters and their story.
Wicked: For Good seems to teach audiences that the truth will always be revealed at the right time and to the right person.
Wicked: For Good will be showing in Indonesian theaters starting November 19.
