So, as promised to alea, here's what I think about these two movies:
Cinta: Nicely done, thought-provoking, sweet and funny
Nana Tanjung: dumb, dumb, dumb and dumb.
Note that I would never waste my money to watch film directed by Razak. And I am not gonna start with this film. They are just too dumb for my taste and honestly it is shockingly bizarre to see people (malay mostly and most unfortunately) flocking to cinemas to catch this latest film of his, made it hit the box office in its first week! Just goes to show how stupid certain people are.
But I don't blame them (not entirely, no). Razak, being a lecturer, should has known his responsibilities to the public to produce/direct film that can elevates Malay, not stereo-typing them to become this stupid-good-for-nothing-except-make-a-dumb-ass-outa-themselves Malay.
How dare he earns money with films that always have the same basic story line, the same hero and the same heroin with a flop plot. How dare he makes profit from the hard-earn money people toil upon? How dare he thinks Malaysian public are so f*cking stupid by producing/directing films with such poor/non-existed quality? How dare he! How dare he!
Is he tries to duplicate what he had done with Anak Mami which have god-knows how many sequals? If he is, god help us all. But wait, the rumor I heard says that he had planned to make Nana Tanjung 2.
What the f*ck? Somebody shoot him already!
Look, I'm not just comparing Cinta and Nana Tanjung alone, but there are other Malay movies that are worth your money to buy their ticket and see it in the big screen like The Red Kebaya or Gubra or Sepet or Bilut or Spinning Gasing or PGL. These are the movies worth taking note of, movies that elevates Malay in the eye of cinematography world. Please avoid movies directed by Razak or Yusof Haslam. They were produced simply to make profit from your hard-earn money.
The next time you decide to watch a movie, think about this: Do you think you will halalkan the money you spent on that movie? If not, go watch another movie, or better yet, sedekahkan that money to the needy.

You always have to make that choice. Do you dumb down your work to appeal to as large an audience as possible, or do you write a brilliant masterpiece that few people will appreciate?
I'm humbled by the weaknesses that I see in our community and by the fact that it takes a lot of work and a long time to change them. But change we must and each one of use must play our part.
My own strategy is to invite others to the values that I believe in (honesty, respect for others, hard work) by way of humour.
Yes you have that rare gift bro.
as for me, i'm just gonna tell them straight to their face that they are effing morons, if ever they say they're either going or have watch such dumb movie to me. :D
