Since people are talking about Gubra and Sepet after the hot Talkshow in RTM. So I must join them in the bandwagon….
This is written a long time ago…
Have you watched Gubra by Yasmin Ahmad. I was able to watch it 2 days after it open in Cinema. And Guess what?
The cinema is empty. (~_~”)
(*this hypotheses apply to Kota Kinabalu only)
Two hypotheses:
1. Everyone watched it on the premier day
2. Everyone still don’t like to watch the true Malaysian movies.
I think the latter would be the one. We Malaysian grow up watching all those lovey-duey movies in cinemas but yet we forget the naked truth of Malaysian societies. Let us open up our minds. In your typical Malaysian movies, there is no such thing as kissing, hugging and even sometime there is not a single thing called sex in your typical Malaysian movies… but in our present society. Such things do happen… plenty of them BTW… oh…. forget about it-Lah…
What do I think of Gubra?
> It is a pretty sad movie actually. We all know what happened in Sepet if you watch Sepet-Lah… Then Gubra is the “kesinambungan” from Sepet. Gubra present two different storyline which doesn’t interact with each other through out the movie. One is about your lovely Orked and the other is about a prostitute name Temah.
> ok … let us deduce the sad part, Gubra is funny if you really get the JOKES. Up to one level, plenty of messages delivered to the viewer and again, if you really get the messages. I also obtain some new perspective of our local society through Gubra. That is a good thing (TM of HB)
However the ending doesn’t really satisfy me. There are some knots that are still undone at the end. Which in turn probably give us a hint of another sequel in the near future. Maybe Yasmin?
Final word, watch it. Then say something….
By the way I have some really interesting stuff here…

This one almost got me kicked by a friend because of jealousy.
That is not a good thing.
Oh well… here is another one with a dialog… Lame one… I know it…

So Yasmin Ahmad take me as your actor for the next movie.
oh well it’s all in the fun of it…
