After buying the original VCD months ago (I stress "original" because Malaysians are famous for buying pirated stuff), we finally watched Sepet, the local movie loaded with local nuances and humour.
I felt it was targeted towards the Chinese because we understand all the languages spoken there, Cantonese, Hokkien and Malay. Plus, it sort of lashed out against the discrimination we Chinese get eg. "Orked scored 5As and she got a scholarship" "Oh really? Ah Loong scored 7As" and obviously no scholarship.
Some parts were a bit slow but it gave a relaxed feel towards the whole show. However, I really disliked the ending as it just didn't quite fit in. And if you want to think about it, it's waaay too soppy to end it like that.
My 2 sen worth.
