Banglasia

Well.. it's just that, I guess? I give credit to the film and Namewee for being so brave and I would consider this is the first local film that went all out for political satire - jokes about Najib, Rosmah, GE13 jokes, IC to immigrants jokes, Lynas etc. This film also had Namewee handprints all over it, and this film also was set in a fictional Malaysia, as Malaysia is being invaded by the Luk Luk army, and Atikah Suhaimie is running around in skimpy nurse outfit, which definitely is not what Malaysian nurses wear. But I'm not complaining.

Banglasia was interesting as it was set in a fictional Malaysia and packed with political satire with a Bangladeshi worker as the protagonist, so we see the struggles and what the immigrants went through everyday, so that's interesting. But that's all Banglasia had to offer. It doesn't go any deeper than that, and yeah, I understand that it's a comedy movie, but even for comedy, the jokes were just meh and sometimes out of place. It felt like there were moments of running gags for Namewee and it shouldn't be because this was a film and not one of his videos.

Still, Banglasia was a brave film and the 2.0 version was updated with added scenes related to what happened post GE14. I hope Namewee would continue his brave pursuits, and for more filmmakers like him to come out.
