Very inspired to do this post as I know if I do not, I will not be able to trace my very first thoughts about this movie. I can be forgetful but I guess this is one of the movies that I do not wanna forget.
I consider myself as an Annexe Gallery frequent visitor and I am always up for the movies that they select every first Monday of the month. The movies were selected by local professionals in the film making industry. Always more than excited to watch them. As you know, good movies are not always shown in cinema and most importantly, not many people are into movies which they think they will doze from the start till the end; ignoring the essence of the movie.
There I was with @DanMaverick to watch this movie "Syndrome and a Century". Luckily he was free then =P
The movie was selected by Tan Chui Mui, a Malaysian filmmaker.
We went around the gallery to have a look of the pictures and displays with the title of Kuala Lumpur Dreaming.
Jerome and Tan Chui Mui
What I saw from the movie:-
1. Shift of the mode of interaction: causes
a) modern architectural design
b) medical procedure that lacks human touch
c) other forms of cultural influences mainly the west
d) change of the available venues for businesses and interactions
e) the way people resolve their unfavorable emotions
2. Appreciation for the nature - which is apparently less in the modern scene in the movie. People no longer go deep into the jungle to search for Orchid; for health reasons or entertaining elements, we engage in physical exercise in the man made park.
I can't really elaborate much if you have not seen the film. Every scene of the movie, though their linkages are not clear, I believed they have their own interpretation and thus representation.
By the end of movie,
Chui Mui: Do you look at the sky sometime?
Me: *Secretly thought to myself* I look at dirty longkang more often...
=P
