time n tale

man yasmin, that was some touching shit. even though the original dvd didn't even have subtitles (for the sign language, chinese and tamil), the emotions still got through. The storyline was neatly woven. Simple yet effective. The look is simply beautiful. Nothing over the top, just enough to convey a story.

My favourite scenes (that I can think of now):
1. The car ride with Ida Nerina. "Dia masuk Islam, bukan melayu...not even arab." In you face! hah!
2. Obviously, Shafie's final performance, right after his mom's tahlil. "I promised my mom I would do my best". =(

But, I found myself cringe every time the english/scottish lady spoke. And all the 'proper' english speaking people in that household was just a bit pretentious.

Syafie Naswip. Amazing! Mahesh was pretty awesome too. and even Azean Irdawaty. Also, highly commendable performances from Mei Ling, Adibah Noor, Mahesh's mom, and Jaclyn Victor.

Talentime is the best work from Yasmin, in my opinion. Dah lama, baru nak tengok. Tak sempat la wayang. Kejap sangat.

Tak puas hati dgn DVD original yang takde subtitles. WTF!

forgetting to remember to forget

she was there. in the kitchen. she was there in the living room. the bedroom. the mall. the car. the street. the desk. in front of the tv. she was everywhere. she was next door. the next suburb. the next next. then she was in the next continent.

but she's still here.
