Haru Biru

It is a God-awful film, a self-proclaimed film made to portray the 'typical Malaysian middle class citizens' living in Malaysia.

I found this film as a 'acid test' to FINAS, the censorship board which oversees the censorship of film and drama series in Malaysia. The producer tried to push the limits to what the FINAS deems appropriate and to what extend the Malaysian public can tolerate.

Producer Adlin Aman Ramli said in an interview that this film is made to show the darker side of Malaysians, the sides which are not widely acknowledged in this country. He further said that he wanted to educate the public, and to make this film as an education tool so that the Malaysian pubic would not indulge in this hippie way of living.

What the producer did was totally opposite to the objective he intended to accomplish. Instead of making the public aware of the social ills, he glamorized it. And he didn't show any moral to this film, either. I guess his true intention is not to educate the public, but to make huge profits out of this pathetic film.

The film itself is awful, I felt nauseas throughout the film. A score of 1 out of 10 is too good for this film. Adlin, Thank God that IMDb do not allow rating lower than this.
