NUOVO CINEMA PARADISO (NCP)

That was a very good movie. As i once said, "Ini barulah boleh dipanggil filem". Thanks to my fellow kodoks and especially Christina (afdlin's wife) for sort of organizing this small gathering to get us watch this great movie. Though it's an Italian film but the english subtitles really helps.

The mood, the plots, the emotions, the shots... man, i tell you, makes you wonder why the hell cant we produce or make such film here? The NCP's story is simple. It's about a boy called TOTO (not sports toto lah...) who loves film very much, left his hometown (i cant remember its name), never looked back until his so called "friend" Alfredo's funeral ceremony. Alfredo is the one who influenced his life while his father is at war (and he died eventually). In fact, Alfredo is the one who forced Toto to leave his hometown and search for glory (chewah). Alfredo's words to Toto: "I dont want you to talk about people, let the people talk about you". That's some deep shit man. Toto turned-up to be a successful man in showbiz but the thing is, he can never leave his memory or things he grew up with no matter how long he left.

Go watch this movie.
