mine and mine alone…

salam.. its been quite long i reckon, not blogging.. but whatever, i’m here coz i wanna give my review on talentime.. maybe this is not the right place, but who cares right..

huhu.. i know its been 6 months since the movie was first shown.. i am in NZ and there was no way i could have watched it before.. ni pon amek dari kerry, and he probably got it from muhamad fariq karim tu.. i dont know him, but he’s in my facebook frens list somehow..

this movie, i first heard about it when Am told me, like a few months back la.. in his blog review, he said that this movie was a brilliant production from yasmin ahmad.. and i was intrigued.. and he also attached the song o re piya by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in his review.. and that song became the most played song on my ipod for a while.. huhu..

so now i just finished watching it.. and i am dissapointed.. and maybe its because ive had expectations kot.. dan dgr orang2 cakap citer ni best.. i cant help but to anticipate la..

hmm.. what else that im dissapointed about??? i just think that late yasmin tried too hard on this one.. and that’s probably isnt her fault totally.. one thing that caught my attention was that sharifah amani syed zainal was one of the assistant directors..it is not that im saying she’s a bad assistand director.. but my guess would be when there are too many people trying to make up one movie, especially one that is as heavy as talentime.. then the bringing of the movie seems fake, and there are some scenes in the movie that i really dont think can/should happen..

one scene when hafiz performed during the talentime night, then the chinese boy, whatever his name was, also the main actor in short movie Chocolate by late yasmin, came sit next to hafiz and started playing the chinese violin, again whatever its name is… then at the end they hugged… maybe the msg that the directors tried to convey is something about racial integration etc.. but thats so not real.. aka fake..

why do i say that?? coz in the movie it is shown how the chinese boy despised hafiz, one thing because he thinks hafiz cheated during the exam, and also the fact that hafiz is a Malay and he’ll get help from the government even if he doesnt deserve it..(i really hate this part, more on it later)

it just doesnt make sense that they’d end up being good buddies sooo suddenly.. atleast there shouldve been a scene where they made up, or maybe a scene showing how the chinese boy and hafiz became frens..

ni tak kawan pon, tetiba nak pelok?? who does that?? that is awkward and so not real..

haaa… about the chinese boy jealous with Hafiz being a malay etc.. in the short movie Chocolate, it started with the chinese boy mother nagging at him.. she wants him to move to taiwan, and leave this country Malaysia.. and one thing that she says “this land is for their kind only, not for us”..

i really hate that part.. and i dont think im being racist.. but it sounds to me that them chineses are questioning the rights of the malays as bumiputeras.. like theres some kind of dissatisfactory from them towards us..

and recently i got the chance to read an article from whom i dont remember, its something about social contract thats been keeping our nation together for all these years.. and it says that noone, not from any ethnic group in the country should question its integrity..

but thats not the case, as lately we’ve been hearing some groups of people complaining and demanding that this social contract to be revised.. i say FCUK off to them.. it was an agreement made years ago.. and them people had made sacrifices for us to enjoy the peace that we have now…

if it isnt because of them motherfortes being sooo FCUKing greedy, there is no valid reason why this thing should ever be discussed again..

i may not be a lawyer or a politician to be talking about this shit.. and maybe i shouldnt even bother..

but people, those who are concerned.. they care..

looks like i have digressed way too far from the title..

i should end this here.. overall i think talentime is a good movie.. brilliant?? i say ive seen better..
