Si Bongkok Tualang Tiga

how much will he cost now ?? hhehehe 

I was about to sleep after Dil came over tonight and was doing my routine channel flicking . P Ramlee's Sumpahan Orang Minyak was on and somehow i was glued to the tv. I have not seen this movie for quite some time. It was a bit ironic though ; in the midst of our petrol hike controversy ; RTM decided to air Orang Minyak !! haks.. He must be an expensive icon now and i don't know how he can maintain his status.. haks.. Guess what was on RTM1 at that same time ? IT was our PM ; PAK LAH giving a speech earlier today in defending the government's decision to increase the petrol price !! haks.. Pak Lah vs Orang Minyak... hmmmm...

Anyway , the movie was entertaining. P Ramlee was very creative in making the movie a success. It was definitely ahead of its time. The movie reflected certain social issues which is still pertinent till today. Si Bongkok ( should i explain his physique after mentioning his name ??) was shooed away from his kampung because of his ugly looks. He was initially a very humble and kind hearted individual. He managed to get a facelift by the orang bunian ( plastic surgeon kot.. ) .He was given 1 wish to choose anything from the magic book and he chose to be "beautiful" instead of having a happy life. When he returned to kampung , he became a bit of snob and proud of himself ; disobeying the promise he made earlier and was banished by the plastic surgeon when he committed a crime.

I mean , who would not make that choice if we were in his shoes ? Not everyone are born to have a face like tom cruise or maya karin ? ( heks.. maya karin je la skrang ni.. ) Who wouldn't want to be like our Dr Sheikh , the handsome orthopaedics surgeon who is one of Malaysia's potential first astronaut ? And to not boast or flaunt with god's gift is a like.. rugi laa.. heks.. I suppose that was why god gave me my looks and not like the ones mentioned above.. Definitely a potential orang minyak.. HAKS !!!

Then the interesting part came about. He was cursed to become invisible because of his sin. Then satan came.. heks.. with his interesting mask and made a pact with Bongkok. Bongkok transformed into the legendary Orang Minyak ( looked like Darth Maul though dunno whether Geroge Lucas was inspired by this movie ) The catch was in becoming human again , he had to be a serial rapist ..raping 21 girls in 7 days to be exact !! HAhahahahaha.. The raping scenes were symbolic ( air laut berkocak laa.. tangan dok genggam2 pasir pantai laa... ) Ada ke patut.. the famous X marks the spot trademark on victim's face.. gile horny P Ramlee!! The ending was a bit dissapointing for me unfortunately.

I suppose in life itself , we are tempted to do certain things which is not in line with our religion , culture and beliefs. It needs our own strong will to resist such temptation. Its hard but it is the right thing to do. As humans , we know what is right and what is wrong but somehow.. we tend to risk ourselves. I know its hard and i am speaking from my own experience.And having your own child scares you more.. Very very dodgy.. You pray to god that your next generation will be protected and blessed by the all mighty..

Haks.. Imagine , Sumpahan Orang Minyak creates one's muhasabah beofre going to sleep. Gile dakwah moden...

p/s I love the new F1 Petronas advertisement !! Kewl german speaking kampung boy !!
