filem melayu??
filem melayu???this topic came across my mind last nite...semenjak dua menjak nih everybody from Malaysia been talking about the new movie titled Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam directed by Shuhaimi Baba.They said it's scary and good.I'm not really sure how far the truth is, cause nobody(Malaysians)here in Aussie ever watch it as the movie just happened to be release in Malaysia's cinema recently...btw, as a Malaysian dan melayu,i've to admit that i'm not sure (if i am in Malaysia rite now),whether i want to spend my money and go watch this movie...instead i think i'll be willing to pay for Harry Porter:Prisoner of Azkaban ticket cause it's for sure will be one of this year box-ofice movieand i have no doubt with the quality of the movie..sorry to say but i dun't want to waste my money and time watching filem2 seram Malaysia yg terkeluar tajuk...sakit ati tau!anyway,whilst i'm busying myself revised for microeconomics,i've been reading about a topic on comparative advantage which state that :"Seemingly noneconomics factors can also give rise to comparative advantage.For instance the emergence of English as the de facto world languages gives English-speaking countries advantage over non-English-speaking nations in the production of books,movies and popular music.-Frank and Bernanke(Principle of Microeconomics) ".reading this lines,i realised that,yes it's true,America seem to have all the monopoly on international films industry and also music.and as a part of millenium generation; i've already ter"exposed" to filem2 dan music dari barat dari kecil hingalah sekarang that's why i have a very deep tendency to compared malaysian moviesto filem2 barat.and i believed it's implies to most of other teenager in my generation.i felt sorry that Bahasa Melayu is no longer a lingua franca to the world but i dun't think it's a reason why i have to blame our local movie industry for their lack of performance...eventhough our film industry is not widely emerged internationally, but at least there's some Malaysian out there(karyawan2 and penggiat seni)that work hard to make sure that our film and our identity terpelihara..and hopefully with this movie,this small step,Malaysian(esp myself)can change their perception towards Malaysian film eventhough sometimes i know it's frustrating...Malaysia Boleh!!!
