The proud Malaysian movie industry


Decided to take a break from writing : my story (part III) for awhile..its halfway done tho..but for now what i wanna do is really get my mind out from the freakish scary memories of chemo's and radiotherapies and stupor and bla bla bla..Spent half a day today reading John Grisham's the Testament. Tryin to finish the damn book for the past 2 months but then again it was challenging for me in doing so as i was in and out of the Hospital and all and all..

Then spent another half of my day Wikipedia reading..of amazing writers and how deep the length they went, how detailed their work they wrote.. read about Star Wars' Executive Order 66 and the Jedi members that perished in the famous Great Jedi Purge..kinda interesting how detailed and how deep the galaxy George Lucas invented..like how Tolkien did in his world of Lord of the Rings and detailed explanations of everything in his earlier book The Hobbit..how the mighty Sauron was just a servant for the true dark lord Morgoth..the true origins of Orcs.. also read of how J.K Rowling made it BIG in the literature industry, coming out of poverty and a miserable divorce (haha the most recognised loser in the world he must be, the ex-husband) to become the richest writer ever..

now also have i spawned into myself a daily habit of reading Yasmin Ahmad's blog (yes the Sepet director) Interesting, informative from a director that never fails to attract controversies..the thing is about her (in my opinion that is) is that there's nothing wrong or controversial or radical messages or seperatists influence or whatever the critics say in her..it's the critics that i found wrong in our movie industry..its the critics that i found to be so lame..so conventional traditional old skool boring..the cencorship department in Perfileman Negara or whoever its is..thank you for being responsible in making sure the movie industry here terbantut forever and ever

You have Sepet and you go screwing it up..saying it potrays false this and false that..rising the issues of inter-racial stuff..helloooo..don't you notice that we live in a variety of race here?? ever heard the words "love is blind?" Malaysians today have step forward out of conventional thinking of - love is restricted to your own race kinda thing - and become bolder and wiser. You have unique Chindians here and there, Malays holding hands with Chinese, Indians holding hands with Malays, and now even Banglas, Pakistanis, Indos are also in the race.. Such issues were already there even since the Sepet movie..and only Yasmin was brave enough to put it in the media..to put it in our attention..to state that we Malaysians are open-minded..

Ohh but noo..you cannot see such radical movie flourish..such important message that Yasmin wanted to deliver you see it with half-closed eyes..and go give positive reviews to Gerak Khas : The Movie or all the bloody Sembilu movies..Cinta Kolestrol? Just because it was the bloody 1st fat suit in Malaysia you made BIG and IMPRESSIVE comments..and give dark reviews of Sepet, a movie that touches racial issues, issues that we know exist but never want to admit freely..commenting the movie to be provocative and went over the line..LAME comments to a DARING movie..go back to America 1900's then..then you'll know what race really means..
