This is one good pseudo-historical movie on pre-independent Malaya/Malaysia. It may not reflect Paloh the town and its population, but consider this, just how many Malaysians do know the nation's history? Not the textbook variety but the one experienced by our parents/grandparents? Paloh helped me visualise the life then, how the people think, react to issues then. I have to comment Namron & Janet Khoo for a job well done.

Look, the earnestness & desperation they show in each other's company is so pronounced, it's a shame many of today's young Malay & Chinese are still unable to contemplate inter-racial relationships. Well, perhaps 'Sepet' is the single departure but the trend is not bucked. And 'filem Melayu' means just that nowadays, 'filem Melayu'. Not 'filem Malaysia'.

I would love to get my hands on a copy of Paloh to add to my collection.
