Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa

Salam...

Hi guys
Just came back from Alamanda
Watching this 'very-diheboh2kan- movie'
Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa (HMM)
A film by Yusry and produced by KRU studio
...as an unprofessional, don't expect a good review from me
but still la kannn as org yg dah menonton
tak sah laaa kalo tak (pura2 pandai) bagi komen

The poster itself
Back to the story line:
In term of war story and in term of budget
(jangan la nk compare dgn filem epik perang Hollywood yang budget nya berlipat kali ganda)
So terima je lahhh apa yang mampu Yusry hidangkan dengan budget nya yang ada
Walaupun sebelum masuk panggung, a very high expectation dah diletakkan
But then, bila dah menonton.... tertunggu2 jugak babak yang boleh dianggap 'BOOM'
Tapi..... so so jer.... :P

Dalam banyak2 pelakon, I do love this role
The Great Chinese Admiral
Laksamana Liu Yun
played by Craig Robert Fong
a Malaysian-Australian actor
babak paling best for me masa dia cakap kat Tuan puteri cina:
"anggap lah nyawa patik sebagai hadiah perkahwinan Tuan Puteri"
Its so touching and ..... (air mata bergenang wooo)

...and of coz, a friend of mine love this role
Princess Meng Li-Hua
played by China-UK actress; Jing Lu Si
Had a beautiful and classical face
So sweet!!!




Bila keluar dari panggung
i told to myself that this movie was a great effort
But boleh buat lagi baik!
Kurang babak yang boleh buat mata aku terpaku
in term of cinematography
in term of the beauty of languange
in term of the uniqueness of the costume
Maybe sebab this film hadir setelah aku begitu kagum dengan Puteri Gunung Ledang
So, tak dapat tidak, aku kerap (setiap masa dan aspek) membandingkan this film dengan PGL
Yes i know, this HMM is more to epik perang while the PGL is more to epik percintaan
So, its unfair laaa kalo nak dibandingkan
of coz la yang percintaan tuh lebih banyak unsur2 artistik (which is i love very much)
But then, overall, i can say that, this HMM is a very good effort
Kepada pembikin filem tempatan, buat reseach dan jgn putus asa cari dana dan bikin lah lagi filem2 epik yang boleh mengangkat martabat sejarah negara...
Pernah terbaca suatu ketika dulu, yang Datin Tiara nak buat prequel PGL which is will describe about Tun Teja and a story about Kerajaan Pahang...
Still waiting for that...
Hopefully Sofea Jane will get the role as Tun Teja again as in PGL.
