As a Malaysian, as a Malaysian Fine Art Student, I finally watch the local film《Ice Kacang Puppy Love》 today… I feel so sorry as I didn’t support them in cinema, but I’m damn busy during that hour, please forgive me.
A Niu’s songs always give me a “Nanyang Taste” impression, I’ve watched a drama series called 《The Same Blue Sky》 when I’m still a child, the drama is about a group of youngster living their life between their fish village hometown and the big city. The theme song is also from A Niu’s song named 《The Same Blue Sky》, I always remind the scene when Lee Nam Xing went to the sea with his boat. Everytime I listen to this song while I’m studying in KL, it recalls me that under the same blue sky, my families are on the same land of this nation. In this film, the blue sky we see through the old shop building, the pond in the jungle, it reveals the memoir of my childhood.
身为马来西亚人,身为念纯美术系的马来西亚人,我到今天才看了《初恋红豆冰》……这部本地制作……没支持到票房实在有点惭愧,但那时恰逢我临时抱佛脚的紧要关头,所以也没办法啦。
阿牛这个创作人给我的印象一直都洋溢着浓浓的“南洋味”,小学时我看新加坡的连续剧《同一片蓝天》,当时是打着跨国卡式制作的电视剧,讲述渔港小镇的年轻人到大城市打拼,与故乡的縴絆,主打歌是阿牛的创作《同一片蓝天》,只记得那MV里李南星驾着渔船出海的镜头,我在吉隆坡念书时每每听到这段旋律,都会让我想起在故乡的家人故友,也一起凝望着这同一片蓝天。而在这部电影里,透过旧店屋望过去的蓝天,在森林里的小池子,都细细的透露着我所能回忆起的那份属于童年的南洋回忆。
