Spinning Gasing, watched it for the second time and this time with opportunity to pause and rewind. Used to admire the production of this movie. I thought it was one of those superb Malaysian movies. But after seeing for the second time, I have second thoughts of opinion on it.



It really defied a lot of the norms of a Malaysian movie. Finas could have censored 1/4 of the movie. There's a scene on a guy banging a girl on a table, there are scenes of homosexuality. There are scenes where the characters argued about law governing inter-religious marriages in Malaysia.



The good thing is the movie potrays Malaysia as a country that does not belong to any race. Spinning Gasing features the typical HK-style loan sharks as well as religious Muslims on the East Coast. I think that's how the world should see Malaysia.



I quite like the soundtrack.

It's Summer 1 finals week this week. Will not be writing much but will try to study more. Lots of catching up to do in very little time.



Catch you when I still can.
