o re piya, o talentime
It’ll make you laugh, it’ll make you understand how a person would feel when they are alone, it’ll also make you wonder what’s the meaning of sadness and it’s truly make you cry when you start to realise you’re alone and full of sadness although you’re always around with laughters.
Talentime is so Yasmin, by end of the movie I feel so Yasmin inside me.
She tell a story in such, she make me feel how sad it’s to be her (creatively). No matter how creative you’re, no matter how good you’re – if you’re alone – you need people around you – to be appreciated the greatness, the pureness and the loveliness of who you’re.
At least you can say to yourself there is nothing wrong of being you.
It’s so complex, I feel stuck in the chaos of the world of rejection.
“I want to have 100 not 97″ – It’s all about imperfection and imperfection bring anger, anger to achieves something that you know you’ll never get it.
“97 is still good..” – you know.
“She chose a decision she think can make her happy even it was imperfect and Monkey, you’ve to chose a decision that make you happy” – hmmm, I wonder what is Monkey represent in the history of Hinduism?
A Yasmin maybe.
Talentime was not a movie about Malaysian, it’s to me, a movie about Yasmin’s struggles and like all her movie’s characters, she succumb to the feeling of alone although she is around by all the laughters, even if most of us go and watch her movie and appreciate the art of it and to her it’s still all just a tale n time.
A short of 2 hours of laugh, alone, sad and cry of Yasmin Ahmad.
Updated: August ’09 – Looking back on this entry after the passing of her, it’s sad to know this would be her last movie – how she had a hard time to be different; 
– may her soul rest in peace;

i guess it depends on your current condition when you watch the movie. I went to watch the movie alone, because my friends ditched me. I thought about cancelling to watch the movie on the first day, and wait till my friends are free, but I decided to go ahead and watch it. It was a wise move for me, I felt happy after it.
There is a fine line between alone and lonely. You just have to choose betwen them.
For me the message was, even when you feel so lonely, all you have to do is open your eyes and see there are people who cares about you. Perhaps not the way that you wanted it to be, or as perfect as you would hoped it would, but to have that someone to shine that a little bit of light for you when you are in the dark
just like how the moon shines the dim skies of night and yet still shine even in the bright skies of daylight

Haha! Sounds to me like you are projecting your own insecurities onto Ms Yasmin. (Suggestion: write in Malay. You struggle so badly with English.)

Bud, I love the movie actually; It’s a good movie and the message was clear actually – This was just my interpretation of the movie in the ‘evil’ way;

Angie, it’s not actually – I always love her movie – this is the movie Malaysian should go and watch and appreciate it; What I write is my own life interpretation;

Angie:
different people have different point of view about the movie, its a good movie if you can related yourself to the characters. And dont get so PPSMI about this blog, even if we make a mistake when writing in English, at least we try and sooner or later we will get better, instead of abandoning it all together because the grammar and spelling is all over the place.

mmg filem tuu bagus cuma kdg2 cara Yasmin Ahmad meluahkan ada sedikit kejanggalan
tp endingnya tetap memberi kesan….

Looking forward to watch this movie! Movie Yasmin Ahmad kadang2 terlalu mendalam maksud dia.. Tu yg selalu banyak kontroversi.
