… talented

Congratz again to my fav film director, Yasmin Ahmad for her another masterpiece that i’ve enjoyed watching. Talentime is a brilliant movie, i wud say, for being able to brilliantly potray the reality of people in Malaysia. It such a beautiful piece enveloping around a few themes like love, death, sufferings, racism, judmentalism, friendship and familyhood. altho some people might not like this movie as it is being too honest in potraying the reality of people in malaysia, but i find it very enlightening. kudos to Yasmin Ahmad for giving her piece of mind about those issues in a very suttle sarcastic way, as i have expected.

the hall was pretty empty when i watched it today. there were only 6 of us in there enjoying the movie. i dont know y, but im sure those who are not watching it, are missing something that they shud have treasured. on the back of it, i was able to enjoy the movie without much disturbance. in fact, there wasnt any disturbance at all. :P

im telling u, if u r planning to watch the movie, u shud prepare urself with a pack of tissue or two. u definitely gonna need it! being me, im not shy to cry in the cinema. watching this movie, i cried not just once but quite a few times actually. again, salute to the director. she managed to make me smile and laugh out loud at the very beginning of the movie, but it didnt last very long really. the more u r indulged in it, u can feel the emotions that the characters are feeling. u’ll feel as if u r a character in it, yourself! the romantic moments, make u feel like u r in love and when it comes to touching moments, your heart will definitely move. in the cinema, i wasnt the only one crying, but most of them were. i could hear people sobbing and see people wiping their tears away.

altho, u can see similar faces like harith iskandar, ida nerina, adibah noor etc etc in this movie. but this time around, their characters are totally in the opposite of the characters they used to act in previous movies like sepet and gubra. *thank god* at least i didnt feel as if im watching sepet or gubra, but Talentime. and the new faces too, managed to play their roles quite successfully. Mahesh, for example, altho he didnt utter a word in the movie, but he was able to play the character very well with the facial expressions, body languages and everything else he got. another example, the granny, everytime she says something with her yorkshire accent, i was almost rolling on the floor laughing!!! :p

and i love all the soundtracks in the movie. can someone find me those songs and send it to me please! the song that Melur sang, the Indian song ara priyaaa.. and the song that hafiz sang for his mother during the talentime nite were my favourite. i didnt manage to look for the titles, but if anyone happen to have those songs, please contact me!

so guys… those who like Yasmin Ahmad’s movies, u shud go and watch this one as it wont dissapoint u, i can assure u that. and to those who dont really like her masterpieces, there’s no harm trying to watch this movie. perhaps u might like it!

 

“There’s a lot of joy and pain in the movie. But, I’m just trying to show a simple love story between two young hearts and their innocence and sincerity in their relationship,” said Yasmin.
