Finally I watched it. Sepet… it refers to the small eyes of chinese people. In Indonesian language we call it sipit. Really a touching love movie and a good watch. I got the uncensorred version from the sharing server here in the hostel and just found a good time to watch. I recommend this movie for those who are still single or having doubt in your feeling for someone. Its a good watch. There are combinations of chinese languages like Cantonese, Mandarin and Hokkien. The hokkien part is really nice and funny. There is when Jason or Ah Loong talking with his best friend in the hospital about the history, his friend was telling about Hang Tuah and so on which sounds like: “Eh de cai bo, he le Hang Tuah, Hang Jebat, hang cibai, si mi hang la.. wa thia lang kong in lang si teng lang lai lo. Ka liao hang ma..” and it continues with replies from Jason. I think this part is censored in cinema.
Hohoho this movie is so realistic and shows greatly true Malaysian picture. The best Malaysian movie I have watched so far. They did told about the old movies like P. Ramlee’s. I have watched P. Ramlee’s movies since I was young as back in my hometown in Indonesia, we only have one local station and the rests are Malaysia and Singapore channels. That was back when the tvs mostly are still black and white and only few can afford the color one. Till today, I can still watch Malaysian channels back there. So, when I miss Malaysia, I will switch on the tv to the channels and watch my favourites shows. hohoho nice huh. One quote from the movie I would like to highlight:
“It is as near to you as your life,
but you can never wholly know it.”
- by Robindranoth Tagore
So, based on my understanding, this quotation is trying to tell that the love is with you, but it will never be fully understandable. Does it sounds correct? haha By the way I am rather blur now due to lack of sleep.
The ending is kinda confusing though as at first, Orkid called Jason and there is no answer to the phone. Then flasbacks of the past is shown and a scen showing Jason already fell down from his motorbike with his handphone ringging. But after that, the ring continues and Jason picked up the phone call and Orkid talked to him. Then after the conversation of miss you luv you sayang, honey and so on, the movie ends. So, no one know what is happening to Jason. Is he really dead or is he still alive but in the hospital?
