<![CDATA[The development of education-themed films in Indonesia has shown significant changes. Initially, these films were only used as a means to convey moral values and ethical propaganda, but they have now transformed into reflective media that highlight the psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions of students. This study aims to explore the changes in form and content of Indonesian educational films over the past twenty years, with an emphasis on the messages conveyed, character development, and the alignment of the values presented with the learning process and personality formation. The approach used is qualitative through literature review and content analysis of several popular films, including Laskar Pelangi (2008), Negeri 5 Menara (2012), Tanah Surga... Katanya (2012), and the Indonesian version of Miracle in Cell No. 7 (2019). The research results indicate that educational films in Indonesia have shifted from rigid and normative narrative patterns to a more humanistic approach that is relevant to societal realities. Films now not only serve as conveyors of moral messages but also reflect the challenges and issues in national education. This study recommends that films be utilized as learning resources that support the implementation of contextual approaches and character development within the formal education system, particularly in the subject of Islamic Religious Education (PAI).]]>
