881

i've finally caught the much-acclaimed 881 on dvd. the songs were great; the costumes fabulous. but one thing i cannot fathom is why it received such an overwhelming amount of praises. i've heard people telling me it's an extremely good movie and hannah even caught it twice in the cinema. to be honest (and politically correct), as much as i think royston tan is cool and respectable, i think the story isn't as good as made out to be. it really isn't due to my heightened expectations but on a more neutral ground, i think the story is bad. and to fuck practices of verbal hygiene, i think the show sucks other than the casting of my favourite star in yeo yann yann.
i've experienced this so many times that i ought to learn from it. never rely on reviews. thank god i caught it on a borrowed dvd.
