Thus far, Sepet is the only local movies which I bought its vcd. That was many years ago. My wife wanted to watch so I bought it quite reluctantly. I must say it was enjoyable to watch, somehow, if I don’t fast forward a movie that would be something that warrants patience for one and a half two hours. Sepet received many negative critics as expected, a Chinese boy fell in love with a Malay girl, what would you expect?
Yasmin is one of the local directors who have the courage to touch on sensitive issues, racial issues especially. You can see the massage she wants to deliver in many TV commercials she made for Petronas. Not only on racial harmony, but also on human value, family value, traditional value and society value and so many values that we tend to forget nowadays, busy for daily bread and butter. Some forget about their ageing parents in kampong, some neglect their young children, some simply too selfish to care about people around them. We are someone somewhere forgetting something.
Get well soon Yasmin, you have more stories to tell. In the present day where moral values are deteriorating fast, we need some fresh breeze, reminding us the difference of good and evil. Get well soon Yasmin.
