My enthusiasm had nearly blown up after my question on "How's CINTA the movie?" is replied with "sgt best!!" "best gler!!!" "it's a must-see movie!!" Ouh, fine! Since everyone has been talking bout CINTA and had watched it already, i'll go wit my lil cousins! >=P Oh by the way, someone has got some problem on the title. He said he couldnt really tolerate the theme, so fine!! I'll go watch it by myself!

The stor(ies) take place at the busy city of Kuala Lumpur. 5 LOVE stories revolve around the city where each and every stories differ from one and another by its own uniqueness but somehow,the characters are coincidently connected thru locations & under certain circumstances.

Azlan and Airin is a pair of married couple, and they have a daughter, Alisa.All this while Azlan devotes his life for his family but Airin breaks Azlan's heart and life to pieces when she turns him down for other man. This couple teaches us the power of love that would eventually make us let our beloved ones go for the sake of his/her happiness. On the other hand, Vanidah Imran's split-2nd-appearance also tells us grass is greaner on the other side.

"He must be somekind of man."
"No, he's just....my kind"
"Papa,Lis nak ikut papa. Lis xnak papa sedih lagi"

Cikgu Elyas is suffering from Alzheimer and what's left on his memories are the fact that he is a teacher and is taken care by his son, Ahmad. Rubiah, a newly-moved restaurant owner happens to be attracted to know C.Elyas better. Amin, C.Elyas's grandson who is responsible for him is forced to take the biggest decision ever- to send C.Elyas to nursing house. Eventually, Rubiah willingly volunteers to take care of C.Elyas. This story teaches us : despite illness and age, love will land into anybody's heart. Just anybody.

"Isteri bukannya hak milik, tapi anugerah"
"Kadang2 org yg kita paling syg lah org yg paling susah nak syg"

The tragic story on siblings' eternal love where Dyan and Dhani eventually "united" yet separated. Dhani, a street artist who's fighting for his right of choosing his own path with her older sister, Dyan, a successful and rich architect. Dyan accuses Dhani for wasting his degree while Dhani blots his hatred towards Dyan's for intervening other people's marriage. Dyan sacrifices her erm..i'm not sure what for the sake of Dhani's life. This story proves the peribahasa : air yang dicincang takkan putus.

-no significant quote-

Arianna&Taufik , Azura&Azlan are 2 couples that eventually united by the name of love. They need to go through some difficulties and survive in the hardship before they finally "announce" their love. These stories teach us : t be honest in love. Don't be afraid to express your love and love drives us into doing anything (even if we have to beg on bended knee to win our love.

+ I love just everything in this film. The takes are superb. Each and every scene is meaningful and touches my feeling. Just name it, from the scene of throwing out rubbish from the window, to where Vanidah Imran suddenly pops out of nowhere
(cam hantu plak), they are just wonderful
+ The main casts are also superb! They have really united into their character and presented it brilliantly.
+ The songs blended well with the story. The impacts are big though some of them are just normal songs that have been frequently aired before
+ The movie might not win any international awards as the theme of love might be too common but it surely wins the heart of Malaysian.No need to bring out spectacular issues. Simple yet strong and effective is preferable.

- It's quite hard for me to digest the scene where Azlan and Azura had their dinner with the mini orchestra. Ergh..tipu sikit =(
- Malulah kuar2 movie hall muke mata smua merah nangis teruk..hehe.

=I cried incessantly during Harris and Airin's scene.
=This story doesnt tell us new definitions of love. It just remind us on the true meaning of love

*********************************

With respect to the movie, I would like to share my "observation" (plainly dari kacamata/contact lens nzra.not usman awang nor shahnon ahmad) on how CINTA turns a frog into prince and kills the god of death (haha..sori. currently reading the deathnote manga so got carried away by the unfinished story)

In my life, I've seen how my friends have slowly changed when love strucks them. Before this, we might have been talking behind those who are madly in love and act weirdly but eventually, I realised that the one that I've been talking about is right in front of me.

Love drives us crazy,as crazy as smiling to ourselves when the one that we love just passed through us. Love makes us wear something that we dont usually wear.

Sometimes, love "moves" us to somewhere far far away. It also takes us away from friends and family and the normal life.

Love holds us back from letting someone/something go. Some things are better left undeleted/undiminished/untouched forever just to make sure the memory is alive.

What's more important, love makes our life brighter, put the smile on our face and make us appreciate what we have, more.

Dahlah.geli plak tetibe je.

OK tata~
