This post came a couple days late....but better late than never....
Every year during Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Deepavali.....Independence Day.....one of the many things that i've enjoyed most would be the deep, heart-touching commercials of Yasmin Ahmad (one of the most prominent and honest filmmakers, in my opinion)..her honesty in interpretating each and every little scenarios in life (in Malaysia) , where there is not a tint of filtering to appear like what it's supposed to be, just bold truths.....of how we were brought up....
I shall not write about her achievements.....wikipedia and google have millions of those....i just want to acknowlege this wonderful person, who saw that nothing was too small, too insignificant....
The imperfections of life.......makes it so perfect......
I've always be proud to be brought up in my imperfect country....and now, more than ever, browsing through all her works, big and small.....i feel a deep sense of loss.....we have lost a legend....but her legacy will live on....once again, she made me smile, laugh and shed tears just by rewatching her commercials today....the power of a storyteller....
here's one that made me smile.....(one that reminds us of the time where we were a blank sheer of paper, unpolluted, unprejudiced....... where colors were beautiful....not categories)
