Cheers,
The S'kali Team
Hiya people!
Can I write in Malay? Not that I can't write in English. It is just that I am practising my Malay which is getting worse by day. OK, I will just write even if you say NO. Haha!
Saya berpeluang menonton S'kali di BO Office Astro minggu lepas, dalam lebih kurang sejam terakhir. Sayang sekali! Mula menonton pada babak Ravin memperkenalkan Sze Huey kepada Bahir dan Tzao di mamak.
Filem ini nampak segar dan saya agak terkejut kerana dalam dialognya ada menyebut tentang "Sepet" dan "Gubra". Ini bermakna ia adalah filem baru! (Bagaimana pula saya tidak pernah mendengar mengenai S'kali?). Itu menambah lagi minat saya menonton filem ini. Tanggapan pertama saya ialah... ada iras "Spinning Gasing".
Bahasa yang digunakan amat 'pasar, namun ianya terasa dekat di hati. Satu babak ke satu babak, saya amati dan semakin merasa seronok. Saya lebih redho menonton adegan Ravin dan Sze Huey bergelap di rumah sewaktu ketiadaan ibu bapa Sze Huey mungkin kerana ia tidak dilakukan oleh orang Melayu Islam Jika ya, pasti akan mengundang kontroversi dan amat berat mata Melayu Islam lain memandangnya.
Saya suka melihat keikhlasan yang berjaya ditunjukkan oleh 5 sahabat ini. Mereka tidak nakal. Mereka tidak biadap. Malah setia dan menyayangi antara satu sama lain. Yang lebih penting, mereka tidak berpura-pura dan menunjukkan emosi muda-mudi dengan begitu berkesan sekali.
Pengakhir cerita disimpulkan dengan kata mutiara oleh Yasmin Ahmad juga saya kira menarik.
Kesimpulannya, jarang sekali sebuah filem dapat menyentuh hati saya tetapi saya fikir filem ini telah berjaya menyentuh hati saya dan menggarap minat saya hingga ke akhirnya.
Saya juga ingin mengucapkan tahniah kepada semua pelakon dan kumpulan kerja, terutama sekali Davina kerana lakonan yang amat memuaskan hati.
Saya berharap dapat menonton S'kali sekali lagi dari awal hingga akhir.
Komen saya daripada mata kaca penonton biasa dan tiada kepakaran dalam pembikinan filem.
Sitinur,
Terima kasih daripada semua yang terlibat dengan S'kali. Harap-harap kamu dapat memberitahu muda-mudi yang lain supaya mereka sempat menonton S'kali di Astro. VCD dan DVD akan keluar bulan Jan/Feb 2007 nanti.
Sekian,
The S'kali Team
Ahaaa... untuk muda-mudi sajakah? :)
Dun worry. Wrote about it in my blog. God willings, my circle of frens/bloggers will get to know about S'kali.

Have a nice day.
kamu sucks! hehe
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, o S'kali Team, but the film sucked. Big time. Acting was alright in some parts, really bad in others. Dialogue was good coz it made use of the normal lingo used by Malaysian, teenagers, I presume. But the writing of the whole thing? The script? The story? Sadly, it was bad. Jumping from one scene to another drove me mad.
All these "issues" about Malay privilege, inter-racial relationships… might have sounded really good when it was bandied about, but didn't translate well into writing, at all. The best 5 seconds from the movie, to me, was when the Mamak asked "asing ke sekali?" and the friends said "sekali!". Which is when I got the "aaahh…" moment of where the title came from, and thought, wah! What a good idea for a movie. Too bad this wasn't it.
I've always been a proponent of Malaysian films but please, this one is no where near being "well made". Could you please look at how the westerners do it and emulate them? Please? I'm not talking about Hollywood blockbusters here, just those Hallmark made for TV movies pun okay lah jugak… then I can proudly say yes, that's a good film made by our local people. I'm still waiting...
Better luck next time?
To S'kali's Team,
I am not sure how to put my thought after watching S’kali in Astro earlier today but you Guy’s definitely have done a GREAT JOB and you all should be proud of yourself to be brave enough to portray the real-life issued plague each ethnical group and our own prejudice within us. It is a great movie along side with Sepet & Gubra and hope to see more from you guys and next time hope to catch it in big screen and support you guys.
Best Regards
Mani
