the man behind 881 and the milk goddess that turns me on

did u chanced upon the Aug Maxim issue? featuring model rebecca tan who appears in the famous HL adverts. Wooo i think she is one hot lady! the shots by photographer Wee khim are really yummy good.. guys out there do u wish to be wee khim's assistant so that u can google at the pretty models each time he photographed them? especially in this kind of steamy shots. i think these pics were taken with class unlike models appearing in the usual sexy lingerie. i wish im at the scene! guys, does the pics turn u on? ;) *wink

this is Royston Tan, the name behind 881. It was a more than a million dollar production spending 22 days for filming. It's an all female casting. Qi Yi Wu utter not a single word playing as a mute man, except communicating via naration of the movie. So we can judge his performance by just his expressions but it looks like the same throughout the whole show.. the very quiet usual expression of him.

The begining part of movie gave me the impression of a very low cost production, which tries to play up on comical meter using cardboard people to depict the various other related family members of the main cast. It was a rather nice effect to me. As i progress ... watching the show is as if 90% of communication exist all in lyrics of the hokkien songs. It was rather intolerable hearing them sing and sing.. when they sing again.. my heart just goes... "not again..."

but i can be rather impressed with them on how they can manage to find so many songs to depict the feelings of the people. Was it especially written and sang, or was it real exisiting old hokkien songs? Let's give a round of applause for Royston for his brilliant idea to come up with a hokkien musical film...

we shall wait and see what's next in line for the singapore production movie. One thing about singapore movie production regardless of filmmaker, its always with tinge of local feel, local affairs or issues. Perhaps that can be the unique selling point to serve as an insight on singapore flavour to other countries. "Productions that are uniquely Singapore"
