If you have been piqued by the trailers of Cinta on our local telly, have seen and loved watching Love Actually - this is one movie that you should not miss!
I've always waited for the day that Malaysians will be proud of a local movie and it is finally here!
In a nutshell, this movie unfolds five unique love stories - the most poignant story being about Cikgu Elyas (Dato' Rahim Razali) who has Alzeimer's and a kind shopkeeper Cik Rubiah (Fatimah Abu Bakar). You can read a little more about the movie from CinemaOnline.
Most importantly, the movie didn't feel like it was nearly 2 hours long. It was well-cut, not draggy (i.e. portions of Puteri Gunung Ledang and Rain Dogs), light-hearted, and easy to relate too. The cinematography is comendable but something could be done about the colour... at times the lighting appeared slightly poor and the actors looked like they are behind shadows.
Verdict: I love this movie and strongly recommend movie buffs in Malaysia to go watch this. You won't regret it unless you live only on action films!
ps: if Dato' Rahim Razali seems like a familiar name and face... that's because he was one of our foremost and probably the nation's best sports-caster. He is now retired from sports reporting and dedicated to the theatre and arts scene.
