Review...?

Lately more malay movies were downloaded thru torrent, and a few berbahasa kelatan. I was impressed and honoured that such stories somewhat were 'true stories'. Name few that been watched in last 7 days, BUDOK KELATE (Kelantan Boy) and WAYANG (this is a telefilm and not a recent production). Both of them are in Malay and proudly to say that 99.9% in loghat Kelantan.
There were parts in my life were touched as I'm coming from Kelantan, brought up in a village(Kg Morak Wakaf Bharu), get educated-gone to School-College(MRSM)-ALevel-UK University and now working (Well done my Dad and Mum this is an A+++...never-ending). Sharing house with long-lost friend from Kampung to crash-in during -'find job/interview' period, where the location is well known overcrowded immigrant from kelantan like Kg Baru, Kg Datuk Keramat, AU etc.
Most of them were despatches where the working hours is not 9-5 (as they think), as long as they can deliver the msg it's done. Their morning is 12pm and bedtime 3-4 am. Nothing wrong with them but were something wrong with their life. Who hadn't be like that during the process.
I was a heavy smoker for the past so many years and just got rid of dunhill for 3 yrs already this 2009, and easily adapting the culture of these creatures, but seriously maybe the movie exaggerating someparts where selling ladies for 'product' was part of the job. I don't know but is there any prove of this event so that to allow the movie maker to make this as certainly coming from Kelantanese, or maybe to spice-up the story, and I choose the later to be more rational.
Well I'm not giving critics to the movie but I'm quite impressed with the script where it seems that they were not in the film.

The second one is WAYANG, where Eman Manan plays a role as Tok Dalang ( Pak Awang ) for Wayang Kulit which were popular in Kelantan, I'm sure during my childhood (1979-1885), together with 'Main Teri' and 'Main MokYong'. My Kg was famous with Wayang Kulit, Pertukangan Emas, Perak, Tanduk, pertandingan Wau Tegak etc.
One of the Dalang from my Kg were appointed as Pensyarah @ UKM for Wayang Kulit/Cultural/Art studies and others also were tagged by Tourism Malaysia to travel for a cultural show.

I was touched by their performance.
