Sepet Review

Went back sekejap after visiting a friend who had busted his shoulder, then off again to MidV to watch Sepet with bosses Cindy & Teck Wyn.

Had heard loads of good comments about this movie. Inas loved it. Bernie, our MNS S'ngor treasurer, also enjoyed it very much. Had tried to 'book' Sali to plan for next week, but she has been incommunicado. Outstation kot... So when Cindy called ajak tengok petang tadi, jumped at the chance la. Am crazy to do that because I have (literally) loads (read: of washing) to do at home. Some things do grow exponentially, you know... Anyway, tried to back out but was already too late. So I went, and I had a good time! The 2 kids were sooo CUTE! And for once everything - script, cinematography, storyline wasn't stilted. It was very natural and smooth flowing. Kudos to the Director, actors and actresses and the whole team. Loved the final part where ???? answered the phone and spoke to Orked. ???? because Jason aka Ah Loong was already lying on the ground in a pool of blood at the time... Sad, but 'unavoidable' from the way he was driving the motorbike. Weird thing was there was no crowd of people at the scene, as is the norm, unless he fell off in a deserted area. The injuries and blood were very realistic too. All in all, the movie was a delightfully refreshing change from the silly stuff on offer for much too long on the local movie scene. Kudos again to all!

P/S - additional reason to watch was that we know the guy playing Jason's father. No wonder la he had a poster outside his bookshop~! Har har... am going to tease the old man tomorrow... wife beater and womaniser, eh???
