I'm not sure if you've seen the recent advertisement on the Mediacorp about the new movie by the 881 director. Was really disappointed in the new movie. Indeed, 881 might have well-received by our parents and grandparents, but I guess it doesn't really appeal much to the younger generation with ages 25 and below. The movie is typically the remake of 881, with the theme revolving around the getai scene(again), actors like Qi Yuwu(again), Liu Lingling(again).
This is becoming a trend of Singaporean Directors : they harp and use the same concept to produce future movies after that concept has been well-received once. Take for example, the all-too-famous Jack Neo, his movies had been well-received in the past, but there's not really a lot of change in his style, with the same chinese-mix-english-mix-malay-mix-hokkien lingo used and of course the same cast for almost every movie, it really bores people out after some time, and they shun it all too soon upon hearing that this or that director is going to produce a new film. I, for one, would choose not to spend money watching these typical flicks which bores me right to the bones.
However, not ALL singapore films are that bad, I commend Jean Yeo, director of The Leap Years, although some might point out that the storyline ws too dramatic, but it was a whole new experience watching a film with quality, perfect english from the actors and actresses (Qi Yuwu wasn't that bad, it's just the slang) and also a whole new cast and new storyline. I guess these are what directors should aim for. Something that is refreshing and new to the market such that it'll attract attention.
Okay enough about my comments on singapore films, it is only a view of mine and has no hope of offending any Jack Neo or 881 fans. Just something for the readers to harp on or discuss, perhaps.
Anyone has any recommendation on curing body ache? 5 hours of basketball yesterday was enough to form big blisters on my sole (I played in slippers). I need to practice more to shoot better, going to the library with mum and my brother (weird my mum suggested) after which, buy swimming suit (new one yay!) and go for dental. Still deciding if I should go tuition after that, I hope to finish all my homework by next Monday. Meanwhile, comments on tagboard.
I'm lazy to reply tags, next time perhaps hehs.
