Amoeba

the cinematography in this film was my favorite i thought it was very awesome and all the girls did a rlly good job lowkey

i don’t know much about Singapore so it was rlly interesting to see some stuff about it and like the system and how history is being erased i thought it was a nice movie

This film is such a gem! I adored the static cinematography, which did a wondeful job at carefully displaying the built environment of Singapore in a very imposing and authoritarian light. The editing was so careful and impactful, and the pacing of the dialogue and scene transitions was so realistic and entertaining. It became a little preachy in the end, and perhaps the writing needed just a tad bit more of a throughline, but emotionally it hit pretty close to the mark.

I don't know how I can get any of my friends in the US to see this film, but it is well well well worth the time to seek out.

amoeba made me feel so many conflicting emotions — i watched this in dublin, and it was oddly comforting and strange (the dialogue in a familiar accent while i smelled guinness around me)

watching it made me miss all my days in a girl school, giggling over the silliest things and looking forward to recess every day; but i was also reminded of how constricted and small i felt in that system for all my early years

there were so many aspects of singapore subtly weaved into this film that made me feel back at home while i’m so far away — constant construction noises, the girls studying every few scenes, everyone somehow having had an encounter with ghosts

and at the end, the oral examination unexpectedly made me feel more emotional than i thought i’d be — maybe because it reflects the current reality of looking out and feeling helpless, having to conform if i ever want to amount to anything; but maybe also because i felt so seen
