That was an excellent one.

best movie i've ever seen.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

The second movie by Erma has some nice photography - those beach scenes on the East Coast - and had the potential to be an engrossing but provocative drama about cultural conflict (Plot is about a Western-educated man who tries to find his native Malay identity). But there's something preachy about the way the issues are presented; the dialogue is too heavy and everyone is so solemn. The closing shot is kind of obnoxious, too. But credit to Vanida as the female lead - and even the normally wooden Eizlan is not THAT bad here.
