Only in Malaysia


        Malaysia is one the country who living with variety culture. Based on the short film/video above, this is the latest video that I've found to show the uniquely by living in Malaysia. The intention why i choose this video because it shows the truly attitude people in Malaysia.
        Firstly the scene with the guy who wearing reverse jacket was shown the habit of Malaysian. Its true that if we go to the other country, I betting you no one who will wearing this kind of jacket like him. Next is with how people on Malaysia calling everyone with Boss, Uncle, Auntie, from this scene the message that they trying to deliver is about there is no barrier between people in Malaysia, they are keep respecting even they are in different level of class, respectful shows the identity of our super duper country . For me this video is very interesting to show the dignity to be Malaysian. This how they are promoting the special part in Malaysia and how to attract other people/foreigner to come and stay in Malaysia.
        Besides that, based on the comment that I've found while watching this video, most of the audience were giving  positive feedback to this kind of video even the audience from Singapore or event Australia. Interesting right? Realize or not this is how we can show the the appreciate towards our own country.
        So in a nut shell i would to say that we as Malaysian need to be more appreciate by having this kind of country, by watching this video also make me feel thankful and glad to be Malaysian. Malaysia is full with variety culture and it is the unique. I'm proud to be Malaysian. How about you?

Stratification in Apocalypto

          
     
       Apocalypto had bring me big impact to me while im watching it. This movie is about the native people who surviving their life in the jungle.They were fighting for their own generation from their ancestor, father,child, grandchild and for the rest of their generation. However to reach the success to conquer the rain-forest they need to face a lot of obstacle and the STRATIFICATION between high class people and the lower class people (slave).



          The main character in this movie is Rudy Youngblood as a Jaguar Paw. He is a hunter from the village in the deep rain-forest. It captured by Mayan slavers and dragged across the country side with his villagers. In this movie Jaguar Paw and his friends has been brought to the place that they will scarified for their Sun of God.
       

          From here on out, it's all suffering and hardship. Dark dreams, bad omens and prophecies delivered by    disfigured children are followed by messy scenes of sadistic massacres and mass rape, artlessly directed and apparently edited at random. Throats are cut, veins are opened. Men are knifed, stabbed, clobbered, beheaded, caught in tar pits, mauled by wild beasts, poisoned by frogs and snakes, assaulted by beehive bombs, impaled on arrows and traps, gutted alive, crushed on rocks after tumbling down waterfalls. The blood flows, drips, squirts, gushes and sprays from bashed-in skulls, much like it did in Monty Python and the Holy Grail--but to less hilarious effect. 
   
    Apocalypto also is impassioned and well made, but the fact that it had falls back on chase movie keeps in really connecting. By right focusing on for most its time on one running man the movie never achieve the epic scale it needs to say that this is the bigger theme it looking for.
