Songlap Songlap

I've been watching a few malay movies recently after listening to this here and I think the new ones are pretty good. A lot of improvements from last time. But you also have to know which actors or which directors to watch out for.

The best of these movies that I watched has to be Songlap. Really really really really REALLY good. And you might want to checkout Kami The Movie, same director.

Songlap

Its about two brothers who are in the business of selling babies. Illegally. But another big theme is family. You'll really feel it when you watch the movie. One part I really liked was when Am asked Hawa what she wanted to do with her baby. It will make you think. What would you do?

The videography(?) was damn cun, storyline was tight and the script was very natural. Its not the skema malay that you write in the karangan or the gedik type that you see in some lame romantic comedies. Its very very natural, which makes the movie much more believable.

I was paying attention to the movie the whole time. I moved around in my seat only to realize later on that I'm sitting in some funny way. Thats because the movie sucks you in. Which is a good thing.

The issues in the story are very real and you get to see KL like you've never seen it before. Download link can be found from this video(Click the watch on youtube button). HIGHLY recommended. 10 out of 10.




Another cun movie is "Cun". They use Kedah malay so its very natural as well. Respect to Nadiya Nisaa who played Manis, a girl with autism (i think), very well. And the story damn sempoi. Just like the setting of the movie, Kampung Mata Ayer. Get it at this link. Also HIGHLY recommended. Here's the song/trailer. Lepak only the tune.
