12 Lotus


A new local feature by Royston Tan. I thought this was better than 881, without the surrealism part and it seems more real and connected to your heart.

The whole film piece up well with the main theme of the song 12 Lotus. I must say the cinematography of the movie was really good which you seldom get to see on a local film and as well as how Royston Tan played with the build up of the mood. It was a simple story but how it was being played out brought out the essence of it. I really like how some parallels are being used through out the film. There are different interpretation of the ending so it was kind of subjectivity to it but it is definitely one of the better local films you should really watch. There was this real funny part whereby it was supposedly in the past but the money notes they used was what we're using now though. The music was good too, somehow it made hokkien songs not that cheesy anymore, maybe i'll consider getting the soundtrack if there is. Well, maybe it the national identity thing that has that connectivity to it.
