I eat, pray, love. And watch lots of movies!
Having read and enjoyed both books tremendously,
- tell me if I am being patriotic or optimistic if I get MORE excited watching this trailer
LAGENDA BUDAK SETAN The Movie (to be released 2010)
compared to this?
EAT PRAY LOVE The Movie (Summer 2010)
I remember clearly taking turns reading Lagenda Budak Setan in boarding school some 15 years(!) ago and how hard I prayed I’d grow up a pretty Malay woman like Ayu (clearly didn’t happen) and to fall in love and eventually marry a hopeless romantic Malay guy (which based on personal experience, doesn’t exist) like Kasyah.
Judging from the trailer,
While Ayu can never be played by any other local actress (I can’t think of anyone that is not mesmerised by Lisa Surihani, she is just too lovely..) and I am never not a fan of Farid Kamil, I must say he looks the Kasyah part!
Spoiler: I bet think Fazura is Ayu (too)! Although she would embody the perfect perfect Katerina (she even looks like the girl on the cover of Katerina The Novel, no?) too..
I choose OPTIMISTIC – that Lagenda Budak Setan movie will be as good if not better than tear-jerking Cinta, my absolute favourite Malaysian movie among a couple others.
Love. Lots of love this weekend.

Hi Ninie, pendapat I bila dapat tau Kasyah dread lock, musnah segala mental image I pada watak kasyah dalam novel tu. Ini ada entry mengenai LBS http://triplecolourlife.com/blog/lagenda-budak-setan-the-movie-oh-tidak/

Hello Kak Ninie Ahmad,
Thanks for visiting my blog =)
Oh, you are right about the downturn of the Malaysian films etc. WE need more reliable directors arent we?
I havent read the novel, mayb it could change my views about certain parts. The review i made is solely on the movie itself.
Nway, good 2hav someone 2share ideas with.
Good luck dgn Yoga!
