Hey guys, I'm Kael. I've written a few movie & review threads on twitter so far. A few friends have been wanting me to put them all in one place for future reference.
Alas, this pinned thread is where I'll put all my movie threads from now on for your convenience!😉
Faham tak kenapa ramai wanita yang tak berani nak bersuara tentang sexual harassment?
Sebab ni lah. Bukti dah cukup banyak pun masih diklasifikasikan fitnah. Fuck those predators who got away with this. Our archaic laws are meant to protect criminals.

Reminder that Squid Game’s Lee Jung Jae is also the King of the Underworld in Along With The Gods films and also a gangster/undercover cop in New World. All are amazing films.
Is it just me or “AkU tAK TeNgOk KaRtuN” is the most annoying statement ever.
They are missing out on a wide range of breathtaking yet emotional films, and we don’t need those kind of negativity.
Ditch them.
Malaysian employers are funny.
2 years of pandemic had proven that we CAN actually work from home but now suddenly they don’t see it as an option anymore.
Not sure if this is just a boomer thing.

Either I’m getting old or Lite FM is Malaysia’s best radio station.
I mean dude, they play 80s, 90s and early 2000 songs, they discuss on crucial and mature topics, like this morning they invited Dr Angela Bass to talk about mental illnesses; mainly on bipolar disorder.

“Anak itu rezeki” adalah perkara paling bullshit yg aku pernah dengar.
You breed like dogs & kept asking for money from my father when he was healthy. Now when he’s sick you never bother to pay him back nor even visit him.
This is a lesson for me: manusia sial JANGAN dibantu.

Have you realized that most songs on Mix FM are almost 20 years old or more?
So basically, Mix FM is like Lite FM (which are mostly 80s songs) but for 90s kids.
Sorry, Marvel, I love both Spidey and Dr Strange. But if anyone longs for a multiverse film with a sheer amount of madness and ridiculousness, this is the best one you should watch this year.
Michelle Yeoh is phenomenal. One of this year’s best, definitely.
Ada lelaki yg kata pada wanita “Kenapa tak speak up atau lapor bila kena harass/cat-call/lawak lucah?”
Tapi soalan saya kpd para lelaki, berapa ramai yg berani tegur rakan anda sendiri yg melawak lucah, cat-call/harass etc? Saya yakin tak ramai.
Muhasabah utk saya sendiri juga.
If you want horror & thrills, this can be excruciatingly slow, & NOT for you.

I watched a Ted Talk recently talking about an intensive study that’s done on 725 people since 1930s till now, on what makes a good life and how to live longer.
Turns out it was not fame or wealth. It was good relationships; that quality bond with family, friends and community.
Do not fight for people who doesn’t fight for you. Do not waste time and energy for someone who tells you they love you yet they don’t put effort for you.
Being in love isn’t just words, you walk the talk and make that sacrifice for the person you love.

Kalau korang tak pernah layan anime lagi, tolongggglah try. Kadang-kadang ada yang lagi best daripada kartun Hollywood!
My fav animes (besides Your Name):
Kebanyakan movie dari Studio Ghibli pun besttt. Movie arahan Makoto Shinkai pun bestt.
Will start with the most hyped atm,
1. Parasite (2019)
A story about a poor family wanting a better life by posing as helpers at a wealthy family’s home.
The comedic tone of the first half suggests that everything will go well.
But oh come on, it’s Bong Joon-Ho’s film kot😂
Kau ingat orang kisah ke sial sikap dia baik ke tak. Kalau dah pedofil kau nak nilai sikap dia buat apa. 4 hari lepas, uztaz yang liwat 3 orang pelajar tu pun uztaz kan, of course depan orang nampak baik. Takkan nak nampak jahat.

Looking forward to the Asian remake of the Scandinavian crime drama The Bridge coming this Monday 26/11 starring Bront Palarae & Rebecca Lim.
‘When two bodies are found on the bridge between two countries, 2 detectives, from Malaysia & Singapore, were assigned to investigate.’
Another Bong Joon-Ho’s masterpiece:
5. Memories of Murder (2003)
Based on a true event, the killer was never caught. First photo was the final scene. The detective looks straight at the viewers. Why?
Because the killer could still be out there, watching this movie. The chills!
@penatbttrcp
I’m loving 70s-80s era because Malaysians used to be so chill. And probably people gave less fucks about tudung back then. What the hell happened to us?
I mean, can’t you see that you as an employer have allowed the traffic jams to happen? Why can’t you just allow WFH to help with this country’s awful traffic?

19. Confessions (2010)
Sebuah psychological thriller tentang seorang ibu yang berazam membalas dendam atas kematian anaknya. Beliau mengesyaki anak-anak muridnya yang melakukannya, lalu membuat perancangan terperinci untuk menghancurkan hidup mereka.
Forgotten (2017)
THIS PSYCHO THRILLER DESERVES A STANDING OVATION. WOW. HOLY F***. DEAR HOLLYWOOD, THIS IS HOW IT’S DONE.
Tak payah tgk sinopsis/trailer, just go in blind. Sediakan otak untuk di-mindfuck kan. Jarang aku bagi 9/10 tapi movie ni satu masterpiece.

As a son of a dementia patient, Imaginur hits just too close to home.
It’s an instant gem, a sci-fi/romance that is both heart-wrecking & beautifully told. Be patient for the final reveal, the wait is truly rewarding; making this easily one of the best Malaysian films ever made.

Not to play the blame game tapi kegagalan generasi pak cik menyediakan environment baik untuk generasi seterusnya yang menyebabkan kita berada di situasi ekonomi sekarang.
Also to pak cik, to quote spider-verse “Men of your generation ignore their mental health for too long”.
“Anak muda sekarang lemah. Sikit sikit rasa depress. Saya masa zaman muda dulu (insert life story)”
Kata pakcik yang tiada hutang belajar, boleh beli rumah murah dulu, senang cari kerja sebab dulu peluang banyak, duduk di bandar yang ada akses mudah, dan sebagainya.

My maid was harassed by a postman 4 years back. We reported him.
Pergi mampus la dia ada anak bini, kerjaya ke. Apasal buat benda bodoh?
But in the end we learnt that he was only ‘transferred’. Harassments are never taken seriously by law enforcers in Malaysia, sadly.
I’m not sure why this movie wasn’t talked about much in 2015.

4. Silenced (2011)
Based on true events, a few hearing-impaired students were sexually assaulted and abused at the school by faculty members.
Disgusting and sadistic kan? Mesti ending dia semua yang gila seks tu kena tangkap and justice was served!
Oh wait
With 7 episodes, The Queen’s Gambit is easily the BEST SERIES OF 2020 in my opinion.
Anya-Taylor Joy plays a chess prodigy Beth Harmon in this coming of age, Netflix limited series.
Without a doubt this adaptation of Walter Tevis’ novel will reignite the love for chess in you!
9. Forgotten (2017)
First time watching it be like: what is this movie about? Horror? Thriller? Mystery? WTF?
As it unfolds your brain will hurt. And the ending will hurt you even more.
Let’s just say the less you know about the plot, the better.
Shoutout to the 90s kids who get to experience a lot of 2D animation before the transition to computer-animated ones in late 90s.
Only 90s kids know that nothing, absolutely nothing, not even remakes, can beat that feeling when first time watching these:
This goes to everyone who has ever dealt with these kinds of people: Yang sanggup berhutang daripada pakai kondom.
Tak payah bantu orang macam ni. Ayah aku seumur hidup dah bantu satu manusia ni. Duit yang dipinjam tak pernah dapat balik. I’m talking about tens of thousands.
4. John Krasinski
Real-life and movie husband kepada Emily Blunt. That’s why chemistry diorang dalam movie ni padu. John juga merupakan pengarah filem ni, dan bagi aku for a first-timer, he did amazingly well. Filem ni dapat disiapkan dalam hanya 36 hari!
23. Your Name/Kimi No Na Wa (2016)
Mitsuha dan Taki berdepan dgnn satu fenomena luar biasa yang melibatkan hidup mereka setiap hari. Walaupun aneh, mereka cuba untuk menyesuaikan diri dgn keadaan tersebut demi menjalani hidup secara normal. One of my favourite anime movies ever!
7. Drishyam (2015)
Seorang lelaki sanggup melakukan apa sahaja untuk melindungi keluarganya dari undang-undang setelah mereka melakukan pembunuhan secara tidak sengaja. Salah satu filem paling bijak yang pernah aku tonton selama aku menonton filem.
This movie deserves to be on the same list as my other favourite international mystery-crime-thrillers; The Invisible Guest (Spain), Who Am I (Germany), Drishyam (India), Confessions (Japan) & Forgotten (Korea), because holy sh*t I did not see that ending coming.
Seorang streamer nak buat comeback, decide untuk duduk rumah berhantu selama semalam.
Aku tak expect filem indie berkonsepkan found-footage ni sangat menakutkan & kelakar. A perfect balance of genuine scares & genuine laughs. Satu filem low-budget horror-comedy yang cukup baik!
MAJOR SPOILER ALERT filem Imaginur. Siapa yang dah tengok let me know your thoughts:
By the ending of the film, we knew that the reason why Zuhal couldn’t wake up from his coma(?) is because he couldn’t move on from the trauma of losing Nur for good.
But what if…
Bong Joon-Ho managed to get Captain America in:
2. Snowpiercer (2013)
Lower class citizens revolting against the system, depicted in an post-apocalyptic world, on board a bullet train.
The hell with adults and their ideologies. You know how it ends. Let the kids rule pulak.
7. Mother (2009)
A mother desperately searches for the killer who framed her son for a girl's horrific murder.
Sounds straightforward right?
WRONG!!!
Watch the ending and see how Bong Joon-Ho twisted this one. Holy shit
2. The Invisible Guest/Contratiempo (2016)
Seorg usahawan meminta bantuan seorang peguam utk membuktikan yang beliau tidak bersalah dalam satu kes bunuh. Antara Plot Twist terbaik dekad ini. Cuba juga The Body/El Cuerpo (2014) juga dari pengarah sama.
‘Searching’ merupakan sebuah filem inovatif, mendebarkan dan ‘relatable’ dengan generasi dan kecanggihan teknologi masa kini.
Ini bebenang ringkas kenapa Searching filem thriller terbaik tahun ni.
Skor peribadi: 8.5/10
IMDb: 7.9/10
RT: 93%
Metascore: 71

I believe most Penangites started as kind, well-mannered drivers. But years of torment & bully on the road slowly turned them to the darkside.
Which reminded me of a quote from The Dark Knight: “Either you die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself becoming a villain”

Remember Marta from Knives Out? The rich all seemed nice & caring to her, assuring her that she deserves a part of the inheritance.
BUT when it turns out that she’s getting all of it, the rich feels threatened and they never actually cared. Heck they don’t even where she’s from!

I’m replying honestly & genuinely because I myself need answers. I do believe Islam has kept me grounded so far even when I still question some of the teachings. I mean, if we just accept everything without questioning, do we truly learn? Just a thought.

"Rule 1, no system is safe".
Benjamin ingin menjadi penggodam terkenal di pentas dunia. Bersama 3 orang kenalannya, mereka meningkatkan taruhan dengan melakukan godaman syarikat-syarikat besar; sehinggalah berlaku satu tragedi.
12. A Taxi Driver (2017)
My favourite from 2017.
Why am I adding this to the list?

Kartun dan anime juga satu cara untuk menyampaikan mesej anti-perang dan satu medium untuk memartabatkan kaum wanita; seperti kebanyakan filem arahan Hayao Miyazaki.
Agak heavy tema yang dibawakan tapi dipaparkan secara menarik.

"I see dead people".
