the truth behINd jACK Neo movieS

Saturday, March 11, 2006

Went to catch jack Neo's lastest addition to his list of self-direct movies 'i not stupid too' today. yea know its abit late, in fact i think its goin to stop showing real soon. Was suppose to watch it earlier on but my grandma,who is the 1 who really wants to watch it, is always busy.ha..ya so didn't watch till now.

i must admit that i went into the cinema with much anticipation as many has told me that its going to be tear-inducing and VERY(notice the caps)touching.

ok,apart from the usual 'made-in singpore' jokes, the show didn't really start with a bang. Towards the middle, jack neo made use of quite a few child-beating scenes here and there...and also the usual parents quarrelling and miscommunications between kids and adults which was recycled from ' i not stupid 1'.Like the 1st movie,kid's simple-mindedness and childishness made quite a few jokes in the show...which leaves us to ponder upon whether that is all jack neo has in mind?though some may argue that he is no doubt singapore's funniest man, after giving him chance after chance for hiz chinese variety show @ 8 ive lost my confidence.well, yes certain scenes really touched my heart,esp when jack neo himself kept begging a granny not to report his son to the police and even kneeled down in front of many ppl. On the whole the show wasnt worth a weekend movie but nevertheless should support singporean productions.

and mayb becoz ive seen almost all of his movies already,this time round during the show i kept wondering why such low-budget flicks which actually isn't much of a block-buster or star-studded movie can top the 'most popular film' chart week after week???how come movies of the same genre keep attracting flocks of singaporeans young n old?? and unlike movies like Fantastic four, skeleton key and king kong ppl dont get to know of the movie through ratings and previews.most of jack neo's movie are made known usually by word of mouth.amazing really!!

when ppl watch block busters they would imagine they are one of the heroes,therefore appealing to their fantasies.people can see their dreams on the screen making the esperience shiok!!ha..in jack neo movies almost the same happens,except that what people see is reality(their own past/life) being put on screen.so like the 1st case, people get to 'see' themselves in the movie,which means instead of jack neo being the main character people see themselves doing it. which in turns make them shiok!!AGAIN!!yes thts what i tink make all jack's film so appealing to the commoners.

being so succesful for 3 or 4 films by now, i am quite sure jack neo's not going to end it right there...lets make a bet,soon enough another of such movies is going to appear.because there are just too many people out there hungry to watch their life being acted out on screen...ha,believe me!
