Naturally, viewers wonder whether or not ‘Today We’ll Talk About That Day’ is based on a true story.
Today We’ll Talk About That Day is Not a True Story
‘Today We’ll Talk About That Day’ is not a true story. While the movie features the instrumental years of a person in the making, the story is still scripted by director and writer Angga Dwimas Sasongko. Enamoring the audiences with a poignant storyline that encompasses the heartwrenching trauma of familial disdain, the movie traces a number of pivotal themes. Most central to the story is the theme of fighting for the ones we love. Whether it is Narendra’s endless strive to prove his adoration and affection for Ajeng or Angkasa, the eldest son’s struggle with love, the movie repeatedly reiterates that the ubiquitous power of love is unmatched.
Unlike the streak of milestones that many people expect, life isn’t without its ups and downs. Instead, the warping capacity of life’s travails is enough to question one’s belief in love. ‘Today We’ll Talk About That Day’ bellows the aching pain that accompanies such affection. However, even when things seem bleak, and the future seems uncertain, trust and true connection prevail.
With Narendra offering his insights to Angkasa, ‘Today We’ll Talk About That Day’ features the paradoxical disconnect of human relationships. As Angkasa remains reluctant to accept his father’s help and advice, the movie traces the authentic tale of human disposition, adding another dimension of realism to the story. So, even though ‘Today We’ll Talk About That Day’ features the utmost real matters of the heart, it is still based on a fictional story. Owing to its fictitious status, the creators used enough creative liberties to embellish the storyline accordingly.
