Gubra - a gem to the local movie scene
Some movies you just got to watch over and over and over again. Gubra is one such movie, and Sepet too.The movie takes off where Sepet left and continued on with the life of Orked. It also touches on a different aspect of life as potrayed by a bilal and his wife and their prostitute neighbours.
Gubra, as controversial as it's predecessor (or even more), to my pleasant surprise did not suffer from the sensorship's snip. I guess after the huge success of Sepet, Yasmin Ahmad is 'untouchable'!??!
Gubra deals with our local everyday issues. Issues that we can feel at home with. Issues that are not dealt as openly as others. Certain scenes might even cause uproar from certain parties.
I wouldn't say Gubra's a Malay-language movie, or English. It is a proud make by a Malaysian for Malaysians, with conversations in Malay, English, Cantonese, Peranakan-Malay,... truly Malaysian.
If there's one movie that you just got to watch, do make it Gubra. But please do yourself a favour and catch Sepet first (if you haven't already watch it).
And now pls excuse me while i hunt for my dual dvd set of Sepet and Gubra for my collection.
