A very good attempt..

Puteri Gunung Ledang the most highly anticipated movie of the year has finally decided to make its appearance. The film managed to fulfill the audience's expectation on it. Credits have to be given to all the crew of the film who I can see had been working very hard to ensure the movie's success. The setting, the cinematography, the colours, the background music complementing each other and thus deliver this movie to a class of its own.Thumbs up to M.Nasir as the Lord Admiral Hang Tuah. He has given a different interpretation to the elusive Hang Tuah. His facial expression very much reflected the turmoil of emotions between his "cinta agung" and his loyalty to his Sultan. Tiara as the beautiful princess of Mount Ledang has done her best to envelope herself into the character and she has done it well. The unspoken bond between the princess and Hang Tuah was clearly prevailed by her eyes, smile and gesture as they were united by the waterfall.Overall, it is a good film and thumbs up to the script writer for the very poetic dialogue especially the dialogue between Hang Tuah and the princess when they expressed their undying love for each other. It is a sad love story and I couldn't help myself shedding a tear or two for the two lovers who had to endure so much for the sake of their "cinta agung"Kudos to the whole production of Puteri Gunung Ledang!

Malaysian Movie breakthrough

Sure, the plot was a bit dragging, lame at times, illogical at others, but still, you must give credit for such a beautiful Malaysian movie. The cinematography (spelling?!) was fabulous, perhaps even up to Hollywood standards if i might say so myself. so what if tiara's not really Javanese? nama pun acting. she played the role quite well, i can't really think of any other Malay actress who could pull it off better. The cast was quite nicely selected too, and aside for the Sabri Yunus jokes (which were one too many) while they were going up Gunung Ledang, the movie was really one of a kind.Although they didn't win best movie for the FFM that year, I dare say they deserve credit for creating something as beautiful as that, definitely worth the millions spent.I'd say the movie was a great achievement for the Malaysian movie industry, really, it'd be worth it just to watch it for the beautiful shots.
