The film Ms Ezzati showed us last week were 3 short films under 15 MALAYSIA short film project, Duit Kecil by Johan John, Lollipop by Nam Ron, and Meter by Lim Benji.
Duit Kecil gives the meaning of small change. It is a story centers around a man who goes to a brothel house to have sex activity. However, he doesn't have duit kecil as it costs him RM 60 when he has only RM 100. He asks for the change of RM 40 from the prostitute. Some social and politic issues have been discussed by the man and prostitutes in the short film.
Lollipop is one of the short film that impressed me a lot with its underlying message hidden in it. The main issue we can see through this short film is about child abduction case. However, when we found out the hidden message and the historical event happened in Malaysia being shown by the director is not that simple, we are so impressed. Nonetheless, the review we mentioned in the video might just be our own personal opinion. Not to spoil too much, you may watch our review at the bottom! teehee~
Meter is the another short film that surprises me and my partner. The short film centers around a Malay taxi driver drives around and the conversation and interaction between him and different races passengers. When we had the discussion in the class, our tutor surprised us with disclosing the underlying message the director trying to bring out especially at the last part when the interaction between the taxi driver and the Chinese passenger. We never thought of that might be relatable although we have had this knowledge when Dr Carmen shared the history story with us in the past few weeks.
