Are We Heartless or.... ?

...the movie is not what it is turned out to be?

I am talking about the hyped malay movie, 'Lagenda Budak Setan'

Friends and family were sharing on how touching the movie was and how it made them cry for most of the movie.

Now, I am never a big fan of romantic movies because most of them are always too corny, mushy and unrealistic. I know I sound like a girl with too many broken relationships but I am not. I just dont like unrealistic acts of love because these acts that you see in the movies are not naturally done by real men.

And girls LOVE to compare real men to these actors in romantic movies. I am not saying that there are no men who are so damn lovable, sweet and a gentleman, they are very rare (I'm lucky to snag myself one). Then how about the other men? They are forever cursed with girls who think they are never romantic enough etc. even they are. You have no idea how many "sob" stories I hear from both parties.

But I digress. hahaha

So I rarely watch lovey-dovey movies unless there is nothing else better to watch on TV and since 'Lagenda Budak Setan' is suppossed a must watch movie, I watch lor....

My verdict

I didn't cry nor teared so obviously it does not have an impact on me like most people. In fact, my sis, brother-in-law and Jhon were not affected either.

Maybe it was because Jhon and I kept on giggling on the mushy parts of the movie and for me, some parts were predictable. When it hit 3/4 through the movie, it became a little random which was weird but nothing was weird than the ending. I don't want to spoil it for others so all I can say is don't expect me to continue watching it. =D

I did a little of research because you cannot rant without background work right?

I found out from 'The Daily Chili' that this movie was in fact from a novel written in the 80s.

But do you what made me scoffed and rolled my eyes like a windmill?

Extracted:

"The author confidently adds that Lagenda Budak Setan is better than the Twilight saga and hopes it will put Malaysia on the map of film and literature."

Better than Twilight Saga? lolololol

He must put the bar very low to compare to the Twilight Saga because Twilight Saga sucks!

When I watched the first sequel, I fell asleep and please, don't mention 'Vampire Sucks', a spoof of Twilight because it sucks as bad! haha

okay okay, I digress yet again.

Another words, unless you are the lovey-dovey kind in nature, easily fallen for corny acts of love, yeah, go on and watch 'Lagenda Budak Setan'. Other than that, give it a miss.
