SEPET...The Movie

I know what you are going to say...Yes...it's been out ages ago and probably a stale story to tell. But, I just want to blog about it while catching a breathe between rushing out a proposal.

I have borrowed this SEPET CD from a golfer friend. He has been telling me about this movie since like February but only remembered to bring it last Saturday and I have no time to watch it until about 2 hours ago.

The story line is quite simple and no brainer to some respect. It is about a Chinese boy named Jason Lee Siau Loong (Bruce Lee!) who is a part-time illegal VCD seller. He fell in love with a Malay girl called Orkid. This is truly a Malaysian made movie and some contents may be termed as sensitive to some. It talked about inter-racial marriage, preferential treatment to certain race, how the culture differences introduce like a huge wall between different races from trying to explore what is it like living the lifestyle of the others (of different ancestry).

It is really unlike movies that I would usually go for (I like all those action packed, really haunted ghost movies, hradcroe pron, black comedy) but once in the blue moon I would watch crappy movie like this one. Somehow it gives you a really warmth feeling about what is happening in real life and through the eyes of some people who see things differently.

The ending of the movie was quite sad that Jason has to die in a road accident right after everything seems to be going well again and another happy ending.

There are a couple of scenes which are quite cool like:

Ah Keong (Jason's friend) said: "some xxxxx are lazy..." and Orkid said "No, all xxxxx are lazy" this is probably why the movie has stirred up quite a big storm amongst the xxxxx community.

Ah Keong was lying on the hospital bed after kena hantam (beaten up) by some gangsters...he said: "Wah...going out with a pretty xxxxx chic wearing sarong and nothing inside..." then he actually put his hand in his uuhhmmm...you know where and adjust his position on the bed.

Yam (Orkid's nanny and housekeeper) was combing Orkid's mum hair and the mum is combing Orkid's hair on the staircase, Orkid's dad walked down the stairs and handed Orkid a comb....but he is bald!!!

Ok...Ok...enough of shit like this...boring for most I know. Let's switch back to my British Open...I think Tiger is going to win this year. It's too easy for him....driving 300+ yards and always putting for eagle at the link course like that. If you are not a golfer or do not have a golfer boy friend or husband, this is Greek to you. Oh well, tough shit...good night and have a great xxx tonight.
