15 Malaysia
The 15 short stories by 15 Malaysian directors.



The one by Yasmin Ahmad, Chocolate.



Quite deep. You have to watch it again.

At least twice.

Catch the emotions that fleet by so quickly.

The mum, so geniusly representing a part of the rakyat all by her words and the tone of her voice.

And the guy, who seemed soft-hearted and wanted to sell the schoolgirl the chocolate even though she was five cents short, until his mum yelled at him for "talking to the Malay girl" and he hardened up.

Tak cukup, tak payah belilah!

And how he frustratedly slams the chocolate down on the counter.

Too late, she left.


What that all reflects in our country, it's all up to you to decipher and interpret.


Genius.
Bless you, Yasmin Ahmad.

(Anyone notices how cute the guy is? :)



The one by Ho Yuhang, Potong Saga.



Isn't that the guy who sang that Negarakuku song??

I think so. Not sure.


There are 13 more short films about to be released soon, and I can't wait to watch em all :)
