I just watched Puteri Gunung Ledang today. I know i know that it's been out for quite a while, but i didnt have time to go watch it. *laughs* aaaaanyyywaaayyy, it's actually a love story, with parts of history and myths reflected in it. the flow of the movie is slow to people who doesnt appreciate the richness of the Malay Language. i do agree that it can get boring at times because it's purely dialog, and there's a lot of flashbacks and inner desires. anyway, i'd give it a 7/10 for it's professional look, beautiful use of the Malay Language, amazing sceneries, and its commendable costumes and props....

and for a negative perspective of the movie from Malaysians themselves, visit http://www.aizuddindanian.com/voi/archives/2004/09/review_puteri_g.html

personally, what i feel about these malaysians is that they doesnt even appreciate the historical/mythical value of this movie. from their comments, i assumed that their expectations of movies are MORE action, MORE love scenes, MORE easily understandable dialog and MORE young actors/actresses.... *shrugs*

and i believe i'll get lots of comments on my tagboard regarding this entry.. *laughs* if i dun, phew! hahahaha.. if i do, BRING IT ON!!
