Qian bu gou yong (1998)
It's not too bad
Although I really cringed a lot watching this film, it really has to do more with the venacular, the mixture of badly expressed Chinese, mangled English and hokkien swear words. However, I would have to applaud the director for actually being about to touch the homeground of the locals about the materialism of our society. To be honest, while not everybody speaks like this, but to criticise the show based on the language would be like trying to crit American directors for choosing to portray ghetto societies and their language. Not really relevant. This money was the first local movie in recent history to hit the box office with runaway success. Although I admit most of the humour is lost with foreigners, this movie really stands out because of the milestone it has made in singapore film history being the first recent film to attract locals away from big budget Hollywood movies.
