Cinema.
\nThe intro scene was too long. I don\u2019t need to stare at a pretty malay woman singing for 3-5+ minutes. Maybe at least change the camera angle from time to time, show her looking at things, some sort of development?
\nThe parts with the 2 malay guys was funny, good comedic sense. The moment one guy says \u201cI need to pee\u201d, you know they\u2019re going to die.
\nThe jump from \u201cyoung people watching\u201d to \u201cold people watching\u201d was a nice leap through time.
\nThe old man being a filmmaker was an interesting development. The Shaw Brothers\u2019 reference was funny.
\nThe Yeo\u2019s product placement was a bit blatant, but hey. Yeo gotta do what Yeo gotta do.
\nThe long tedious shots of the uncle in the wheelchair rolling from some nursing home to The Fullerton to Buona Vista felt a bit like too much atmosphere.
\nThe outro was pretty touching.
\nFelt like they took too long to say, \u201cold artists came together again and felt young again\u201d. I thought a great execution of this was the \u201cI\u2019ve been waiting for a long long time\u201d short film on youtube, which had the additional sense of \u201cpassing the baton\u201d.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a lot of staring out of windows<\/p>\n
Neo\u2019s That Girl
\ngreat casting, very likeable characters\u2013 the main girl especially. and the pretty girl was so pretty wow. and the teacher was perfect. and the gangster\/ahlong was great.
\nguan yin says okay. i laughed. very funny.
\nthe peer dynamics was very well done, the representation of how kids roughhouse each other
\ni thought the idea of all the girls swooning over the boy was cheesy (and just made me think about the fact that Jack Neo himself was involved with 11 women\u2026 well\u2026 you know what kind of things Jack likes to fantasise about)<\/p>\n
Boo Junfeng<\/p>\n
I liked that the customs officer was nice to the uncle
\nI like that the uncle had a clear motivation\u2013 he wanted to find the lady of his youth\u2013 and so I could sympathize with him as he went through his struggles of finding an address, dialing a number, calling a phone number
\nI like that he squeezed in that little bit where two men share a drink while crossing the road.
\nThe \u201chashtag handsome\u201d bit was entertaining
\nThe man walking onto a film set was so blatantly meta (I\u2019m guessing the guy who said \u2018action\u2019 or \u2018cut\u2019 was Boo himself)<\/p>\n
Grandma Positioning System<\/p>\n
Great characters
\nthought it was funny that a young girl was on the phone rather than texting, but I guess it\u2019s nice to get to hear her voice
\nthe part about the boy asking grandma to walk slowly so he can skip lessons\u2013 brilliant<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
