Money NO enough2

Yes I know I seemed to have disappeared off the face of earth but the truth is I've just been too bogged down to blog, nor can be bothered to. But today, I shall take control over my unwilling body with my determined mind and say a word or two about the latest movie I've watched. It's none other than Jack Neo's sequel, Money NO Enough 2.

Before I stepped into the cinema, I was thinking "alright, it's gonna make you split your sides and after that you'll forget about your problems for a while". The first 10 minutes was purely slapstick, hokien jokes revolving around the 'Singaporean kia-see' (scaredy-cat) mentality. As the plot thickens, I see an analogy of the typical 3 classes of Singaporeans - the lower-income , the middle-income with no kids (they used to be called DINKS in Japan - Double Income No kids) and the high-income whose lives are incomplete without modern luxuries and branded goods. Each of these classes have their own share of problems. So who says the rich will always remain rich? What I really appreciated about the movie was the bit on filial piety (or rather how practicality overcomes filial piety) and how the mother sacrificed her own life for the sake of her children and grandchildren. That really had me on the verge of tears. Very touching.

So, to end this very short blog, I'd say I'm glad I watched the movie - not only was it funny, it had summarised all the 'practical problems' that we Singaporeans faced. I shall be getting the DVD when it's out.
