Tiny Review of : 881 A film by Royston Tan (Techno)

Went to watch 881 movie by royston tan. Not a bad film. Quite touching at quite a few moments, such moments just want to make you almost drip your tears.
I think this movie is a first that is made about Getai in singapore and it also showcases the lifestyle of some unseen portaits of singaporean.

When i look around the theater hall, most of the audiences that went to watch the movie seems to be more than 30 years old although a very small percentage are teenagers.

A large portion of the movie's conversation was spoken in hokkien. Some loony special effects were added to spice up the movie abit.

I guess the most touching moment is when the little papaya is dying and there is a scene where the film shows her losing her hair.

And the best action moment is the durian sisters vs papaya sisters getai song sing fight.

ok. Overall it is not bad. Although some reviewers seems to see abit of Tsai Ming Liang elements in the film.Could be Qi Yi Wu's voiceless acting and also maybe him playing with his pet chicken.

Techno Cat. Techno Chee Ko Pei and also Techno to you.
