Skali? Asing la!

Skali - Love Life Friendship, just watched this so-called HD movie in Cineleisure with Ivan and Jason last Tuesday, and there's only 3 of us, the ultimate 3 sohais in the cinema. The sohainess of me that always banned local film, but still will give out my money which can spent on some good food at mamak stall to give my support to our local film makers. I don't know what Im smoking....

Ok, back to Skali.. Im surprise I can stuck my butt on the seat and watched until the credits roll off. (oops.. it wasn't even a rolling credit). Joon Han told me that a reporter ask him this question at Venice Film Festival, it goes,"How's the short film in Malaysia?" He answer, "Everyone seems to make a short film into a full length feature." I strongly agree with that. S'kali should just end in half an hour, (that's the timeframe that I took my bath, wipe my silky ass, comb my hair, spray cologne and tie my shoes) or could have been better it it's a 15 minutes DV movie.

What I can see in this movie is just a bunch of spoiled rich brats who own a DOPOD, everyone seems to carry a MacBook around and should have been lepak in Starbucks instead of mamak, hell, Perantauan Pictures can even include Starbucks as one of their sponsor.

This movie is about 5 friends who want to persue their own dreams. An wannabe director Indian fella, a girl who was obviously English educated that claimed her family was a extreme typical Chinese family (if it's really typical Chinese, the girl should have been sent off by her parents into Chinese school at the first place by not worrying having a Chindian grandson). An extreme emo Chinese guy who get frustrated by not getting overseas scholarship, the one who screwed up every "yamcha" session. (Personally, I think he looks good being a gangster more than a student who cried for scholarship) And a girl name Tehmina who have booze all the time but have no sign of getting drunk... fucking amazing... And her friend react as if she was taking drugs... lagi amazing!

I don't understand why the production team doesn't seems to change or re-export the whole dvd even though they managed to extend their screening time. Weird composition that confuse audience, some scenes seems like out of focus, Yasmin Ahmad who appear from nowhere...

I still agreed that it's eazy to write what I feel. I love it, I hate it... So, Im writting it now. That's all about it, going for yamcha session now. And we'll see which generous sohai friend of mine will "kira skali" later...
