my weekend was spent pouring my eyes over a malaysian made film by the well known female film maker most malaysian have came to term as being legendary to our small thriving country especially in the domain of art and entertainment. i'm not going to sugar coat my words here but those who knows me know that i have some resistance pertaining our entertainment industry especially films and musics, they just dont make them like they used too...sadly...
HOWEVER, im quiet chuffed to confess my undying love for one woman that has made films (for some odd reasons i cant just call her work movies,it just seem somewhat belittling) that has truly captured our nation in a nutshell through clear, precise yet graceful and artfully done manner that one couldn't help but ponder about the whole debacle with more openness than before. yes, we are relatively a young nation still trying to find our niche in this world, we are still figuring it out(that isnt a bad thing you know)
here's my pitch why you have to go watch her film
*clears throat*
her way of storytelling has always been simple yet written with depth where you have to sieve through the layers by their conversations. it doesnt lead up to gargantuan revelation but like a treasure box, every little findings are just equally valuable and held with great sentiment . you'd understand why each one of them are so important in the end . it feels precious somehow, yes in the end it will leave you to tears but i think the water works is exactly what we all need to wash away the cloud of judgment constantly hanging over our peripheral vision.
so go, go and watch Yasmin Ahmad's films, especially her last gem to this nation before she left to be with her maker again, it is call TALENTIME.
my favorite quote from the movie
"dia masuk islam not melayu,not even arab"
