1. INTRO
NO! This is not a movie about ‘naughty’ Tiger Woods. It’s a comedy set in the world of Tiger dance (woohoo), in small village of Beserah, Kuantan. I bet everyone come across Lion or Dragon dance before. Tiger dance? Are you kidding?
In conjunction with the incoming year of Tiger on Chinese Lunar calendar, Astro and MY FM are proudly present the 1st 100% locally produced Chinese movie will screen from 14 January 2009 onwards at cinema nationwide.
I managed to attend the exclusive premier of the movie on 11/01/10 (auspicious date I guess?) at Cathay Cineplex, e@curve. The show scheduled to start at 9:00pm, 1st delayed to 9:30pm, at last start about 10pm. I would say the wait is worth it. This is definitely the best movie of ever produced by Malaysian so far… AND IS AWESOME!!! It’s the 1st ever local Chinese movie that I watch in cinema!
2. STORYLINE
Directed by Chiu Keng Guan, the movie boasts an impressive lineup of artistes such as Jack Lim, Gan Jiang Han, Royce Tan, Bernard Hiew, Jason Yeoh, Gan Mei Yan, Chen Keat Yoke, just to name few which proved in fact there are lots of talented artistes around even for the 1st timer.
The movie revolves around five different personality (must be male and born in the year of Tiger, ~so coincidence) peoples who are destined together to mastered and perform tiger dance once in every 60 years in Kampung Beserah.
3. HIDDEN VALUES
The plot emphasize on local lifestyle, incorporated with social, family and cultural values in humorous way. The movie also portrays some of the Malaysian darker side of life:
- Difficulty live in metropolitan city for lower income group
- Con artist at large targeted ordinary folk fortune by taking advantage of Malaysian most visible weakness, SYMPATHY!
- Culture and tradition that are in great danger of fading away due to little or no interest from the youngster
I give it a 4/5 start for this movie~ A MUST WATCH MOVIE!!! And the Tiger cloth doll very cute 2!!!
