:: the best bet ::there are normally two reasons why i would watch a particular movie.
1. the trailer is fantastic and attractive
2. the trailer is so irritating that i can't believe who would want to make such a movie that i would go watch to satisfy my curiosity, and incidentally i always regret.
i was driven to watch 'the best bet' due to reason 2 and i've learnt that curiosity normally kills the cat. the best bet is brilliant in some ways, such as their hokkien rap and the usual crap from mark lee, yet it doesn't attract me cuz i don't like 4-D, toto, 12 sticks, horse betting or anything that is dependent on lady luck for $. lady luck is damn fickle.
the movie has a good ending, almost a bit fairytale-like, though peppered with lots of lahs and lohs and lim peis. despite the good ending, i felt a bit cheated because i don't like movies that take me for a joyride only to discover that it's all a nightmare or daydream.
this is definitely NOT jack neo's masterpiece. some people say that 'pao ba hai zi. ' is jack's representative piece. but we ought to keep in mind that the storyline isn't original, and therefore the only thing it can say about him and about singapore is that we're copycats.
despite all that i've said, jack, i believe, is singapore's best (and only) producer able to make something decent. therefore, as a dutiful singaporean, i should say this: heya everyone! go watch 'the best bet'! it's the best local movie ever and i bet you'll like it! for 4-D aficionados, you can get plenty of beautiful 4-D numbers in the show...
i've just read what i've written, it sounds like a load of crap. going to sleep now. selamat malam.
