Anwar: The Untold Story

This movie is about a politician trying to fight corruptions which already becoming so worst in the gov. Admin. System. He did what he could as Deputy Prime Minister. He rejected money & land offered to him and his father. He reminded his family members not to take any government contracts. He also tried to amend anti-corruption act.

Back in the year 1990s , there was not much information we could get on what happened to anwar and family after he was caught and put into lockup. I guess that was the Untold part that this movie tried to convey.

I was told the original movie was supposed to be 180 minutes but shorten to 100minutes. Probably that's why the scenes transitions are not good at some parts. But as a whole, i think it is still a good movie with a good message and worth to be watched.

For me, it was queit unpleasent from the transition between the new scene. Editting was horrible. Also, i cannot feel or see the chemistry between the actor. For example, Anwar and her wife. Between the children too. Like there was zero chemistry. I know this kind of this movie is a bit risky and political topic but i would better watch documentry rather than this movie. I got zero knowledge and moral values. There was scene about the corruption but it still too much boring dialogue with no climax at all. For almost 2 hours of the movie, i felt already sleepy at the half and desprately wanted to finish it. Unworth it. Too much people pleasing maybe 😶😶😶

Anwar: The Untold Story" is a film that truly stands out. After watching this movie, I felt it breathed life into the human side of Anwar Ibrahim's journey, defying the claims of being mere propaganda. Based on the Royal Commission of Inquiry's findings, the film presents a heartfelt portrayal that humanizes Anwar and his experiences.

What makes this film remarkable is its balanced approach. It delves into the complexities of Anwar's life and the challenges he faced, showcasing his charisma and determination, while also addressing the controversies surrounding his trial and subsequent events. This nuanced perspective adds depth and relatability to the narrative.

The film's attention to detail and commitment to accurately representing historical events deserve applause. It recreates the atmosphere of that time, allowing viewers to emotionally connect with the struggles and triumphs of Anwar and those around him.

"Anwar: The Untold Story" invites viewers to reflect on the personal toll that political turmoil can take on individuals and their families. It humanizes Anwar by highlighting his vulnerabilities and the impact of these events on his loved ones. This approach makes the film more accessible, engaging, and relatable to a wider audience.

The perspective view from Anwar & family . The story straightforward, untold story ironically.

Timeline base on reformation era 1998, the plot dead no expending .

Film 'rushed' and that the plot did not flow well.

The music play very annoying, almost no transition like cop and paste.

Obvious abrupt cut scenes, and that the music was also cut in the same fashion. Some shots felt awkward and amateurish. Movie lost emotional connection. Furthermore, the ending was too abrupt

To conclude, this film did not do justice to Anwar's journey and what he fought for . Nothing being reveal the true side story hence the movie call UNTOLD STORY... no story duhh. The film felt like a compilation. A PowerPoint presentation and it was painful to watch. Like propaganda flyer precisely.

1star for free ticket.

It looks like a fictional story about Anwar Ibrahim and director not being fair to show historical value at that the time. More consultantion required by conducting more interviews with ex politicians and people. I feel it doesnt fair to rate this movie 7/10 because i value the facts and truth, and im not fan boy to Anwar Ibrahim. I just an observant to historical value at that time. I feel, this movie is not good enough maybe someone must rewrite again and remake this film. Sorry guys, i rather telling the truth then try to be 100% fan boy to Anwar Ibrahim. Please don't bash me for giving lower rating.
