881

Went to the movies yesterday to watch Roysten Tan's new movie '881' with Leen, Big Sis and Ellenmae. Its a story about the papaya sisters and their journey admist the vibrant and colourful getai scene during the 7th month ghost festival. There are lots of nice hokkien songs in the movie. I didn't think i would like the movie but after watching it, i can't seem to get the songs out of my head now.

Great songs coupled with elaborated costumes, this local production is a must see for all! The young will be thrown into a cauldron of colours and laughs as they giggle their way through the hokkien jokes (Must know basic hokkien in order to get the jokes.....vvvery basic...some hokkien swear words is a plus point). The more mature audiences will have a chance to revive their memories of the good old days where getais were abundant and crowded. Not to say that we don't have getais now...but you get what i mean....its just............different now.
