Gayong

Honestly, I don't aspect so high for this movie.

But Gayong the movie is the great movie to watch, because it shows us all the details that happen in WW2 and what is the things that happen to Tanah Melayu when we in 1939-1943. For example the movie will show you our culture, what do we have to fight when 2 colonizers in our homeland. The impact of the film for me is we should protect our homeland, don't be selfish, learn martial art not to fight but to protect your family, region, and homeland. In my conclusion we should watch this film to make sure the spirit of bravery and protector rise in our self.

It is a good film, based on legendary figure in Malaysia, a silat grandmaster. I think it have a lot of potential, but maybe because of a low budget so it looks cheap and "can do better" feel because the director is a well experienced director so how much epic ca he do with a tight budget? If we want to talk about a weakness, sure there is a lot of weakness such as poor cgi and anything but we cant deny how meticulous they want to make the fighting scene to make sure it looks really good and stylish. Anyone expect for this movie to at least looks the same par as Mat Kilau must remember that this movie is about the journey of malaysian silat grandmaster, its totally different theme. With very low budget.

Wasn't interested in this movie at start, but decided to accompany my husband to watch because he is a fan of Silat.

Gayong filem turn out way better than expected. Filem shared about how Dato Meor history of building silat. And how our national hero and community stood strong against the Japanese during the WW period, the unity is strong and touching. This is something that reflects and remind us of how our community should always be strong together in the past present and also the future. My husband and I like how it portrays how silat been pass on for the centuries to what it is today. Malay national history baik la!

I will always show love to my country and respect my national hero! Support Gayong filem!

Outstanding acting by Beto and Nabilah. Bloopers scenes were obvious and visible (ie. Fighting scene in changing room, baby changing size, props). Sections in story line disconnected, fragmented and could have been ironed out better. Also cause and reactions disconnect, unnatural & questionable outcome. Message is positive and commended, ie. Honor, integrity, togetherness, adab etc., but scripted in the manner of desperately pushing it a bit too far, leaving cringing feeling; almost like having too much MSG in a meal (can be nice if just enough, but when too much it leaves a bad taste). Too much pre built-up on certain supposedly significant characters or item (sword) failed to be developed properly (wasted airtime).

Powerful and culturally rich film that truly showcases the essence of traditional Malay martial arts. The storytelling is compelling, blending heritage, discipline, and emotion in a way that keeps you engaged from start to finish. The choreography of the silat scenes is authentic and beautifully executed, paying homage to the art form while still delivering cinematic excitement.

The cast gives strong performances, especially the lead, who brings intensity and heart to the role. The cinematography captures both the action and the cultural setting with elegance, making it not just a movie but an experience.

This film is a proud representation of Malay identity and tradition. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates martial arts, cultural films, or just great storytelling.
