Actually the mahjong has nothing to do with gol and gincu. Its just a mahjong session before I went to watch the “Gol dan Gincu” movie. Yesterday I went back to PJ with Christine to visit my ex-housemate and had dinner with them. Well, nothing much change, the house still messy, the housemate still fat. ^_^
We played few round of game and like usual, I still lose.
Well, let’s talk about the movie. It’s a local production movie that is directed by Bernard Chauly. Actually I don’t know who he is, but if he wants to succeed, need to work double harder. Can’t go far with movie like this.
There are only 12 people watching it (Including me and Christine). Looks like not much people are supporting Malaysian product. The capacity of the cinema hall is 110 seats. So, do the math, the percentage is only around 10%. No wonder local movie industry is so bad. Is it the fault of Malaysian that doesn’t support local movie or the local movie is so bad until no one want to support them? Think.
Back to the story, the lead actors are Nur Fazura (as Putri) and Ashraf Sinclair (as Eddy). Supporting actors are Sazzy Falak and Sharifah Amani (my fav Malaysian actress). For whom those don’t know Sharifah Amani, she was the lead actress in the SEPET movie. Basically this movie is about a girl, Putri dumped by her boyfriend, Eddy (futsal maniac) for another girl who also involved in futsal game. Then Putri start to learn playing futsal hoping to get Eddy back. Something happen, the girl grows up, and they win the futsal tournament and when Eddy wants her back, she refuses. Story End.
Compare to Sepet, this movie is really a failure product. There is nothing funny in the movie (well, 1 or 2 scene got lar), a romance comedy? Don’t think so.
The cutting is not smooth, there is some scene where we doesn’t feel the continuous). Too much sponsored products plugging, a lot of unnecessary scenes such as when Putri received the MMS regarding someone(I forget the MMS from who) going to buy the dress for Putri. This scene totally unrelated to the movie.
Well, appreciating movie is something subjective, so what I don’t like may be likeable for someone else. Anyway, for me, SEPET is much more better than Gol Dan Gincu.

wahlaueh... I think you were having a better time playing with your new camera phone in the cinema than watching the movie itself!

Hi
Watched Gol & Gincu at Megamall on Monday. Cuti skool but only about quarter full. Maybe the time - second show in early afternoon.Wonder what the ticket sales are like?
Popped in to check out how the new Malaysian youth culture, realism dialogue, social messages and multicultural casting film genre will do after Sepet. But it seems still a Malaycentric story although has a tall Chinese Fusbal girl - Ling - in the team.
The ending - boxes on what happened after. No questions, no controversy. Seen some films trying to finish off like this - but wonder whether Malaysians really need this in their films.
I think I was the only Chinese there but I usually watch something like 1-3 Malaysian movies in a year or two on recommendation.
Cheers.

You failed to see the subtle messages in the movie. This is not just a teen movie. It's a teen movie on what is going in our youth right now. It's half-pass-six realistic but nevertheless certainly a huge milestone from the craps before this.
I find that the story is rather shallow but then again how much depth can a teenager fathom at such age?
