Today, I think I finally found a local movie that was able to compete with the late Yasmin Ahmad's movies for my love and affection.
This movie perfectly showed the reality of being a Malaysian, with everything from racist remarks, stereotyping and etc, but was ultimately able to send a message of unity throughout the movie.
And ironically, it came from a guy many considered a racist.
I don't care much for our local movie industry, since its always about mat rempit or jiwang karat love or comedy-thats-not-even-funny, but a selected few have gotten my seal of approval (as if it matters) and this movie, Nasi Lemak 2.0, by Namawee, is now on top of my list. Sepet I will always adore, but Nasi Lemak? I love.
1Malaysia indeed.
