Back in UT, this 'Sepet' film was getting hotter by the minute... I asked anyone in sight whether they wanted to attend the movie, some agreed but we haven't got the ticket, and no one knew where on earth is the class rep. (he's selling them for RM2) So we went to classes as usual in the afternoon, still not sure whether we'll make it.
After my Anatomy SDL (Self Directing Learning, taken by Dr. Laskhmi... OMG she took us all around and around, kept my head spinning like a gasing, talking about nerves and their connection, "it's like wiring in a house... bla bla bla") I decided to walk over to the Faculty at night to just see if I can make the last ticket---don't have the slightest idea whether it's sold out... But then they're showing this film to make money for the Baktisiswa (some kind of programme) so I thought that why wouldn't they accept another willing-to-pay-to-sit-on-the-floor-instead-of-the-chairs audience?? Good point??
So 4 of us CJ, Chelsia, and BC went walking at 8.45 pm (sadly, ManChin and James didn't join us) We found out that day that if you walked alone at night in the faculty, you might just get a sudden increase in sympathetic stimulation out of nothing at all, and probably will faint because it was damn spooky... The quiet atmosphere, the monotonous yet lively humming of the air-con unit, the cool breeze, the full moon, the dark corners, the unlitted corridors, the darkened rooms... I'll go crazy, it's like something might just be lurking around the corner, waiting for the best moment to pounce on you, taking you into the unknown... Hehe Chelsia did get spooked quite badly, by the stupid guy who walked in front of her who suddenly turned around and kind of yelled, 'Eh!! I can see it!!! IT"S THERE!!! A......!' Guess who is he?
Well, the tickets were not sold out after all... There was only a handful of people in the lecture hall, lucky for us (we get seats!)
And then the movie started....................
Bleeeeee it was really nice, especially for a Malaysia movie... Deep in theme and ideas... The acting's not bad too, however there was still some flaws, such as at the final scene, where Orked was leaving in the car, the ambient noise is horrendous. I can't catch what her father was saying, and her mother cried too much (Chelsia actually laughed at her that moment) it's just not natural... Will your mother cry like that even if she's that touch? I seriously doubt so, maybe a few tears would be sufficient...
And that guy... Aih!!! It's like a saying in Chinese, 1 leg stppeing on 2 boats... If he loved Orked, he should haved make things clear between him and the other Chinese girl. Instead he made her pregnant... But without these dramatic twists, the film wouldn't be nice anymore isn't it?
And the ending is somewhat confusing... He's dead? He's alive? He speaks? His soul speaks? Spooky...
don't like his hair? Mutual feeling here...
abusive husband being abused... Ironic!
