Sepet

The only sound I heard was a mother and her daughter sobbing profusely after reading a touching and genuine confession at the end of the film. I didn't realize this would be a more intense film. I have seen just Mukhsin, which is one of my all-time favorite movies. For some reason, I had to stop watching Talentime in the middle part of it. I therefore didn't anticipate this movie to be as serious as it was, but I still really enjoy it. To me, this might be the most beautiful film in our local scene: The awkwardness of the lines delivery, the 2000s atmosphere of Malaysia, the poetry and the dialogue, the characters' relationships, among others-- the combination of multiple elements made this the most beautiful film in Malaysia. Naturally, though, it's subjective. The low resolution, graininess, and occasionally appearing and disappearing subtitles when viewing this movie in a theater actually contribute to the overall beauty of the work. Throughout the whole movie, I can't help but be in awe when seeing it in a theater. If you couldn't tell, I cherish nostalgia, even from eras when I wasn't even born.
