I watched this movie based on the one and only comment provided on IMDb and I trusted it and went to watch. First ten minutes of the show, a couple went off and I was a bit demoralized but heck I've paid my share and I'm going to make it worth it.

For those who hate slow ... draggy movie (though this one is not that bad) I still advise you won't go and watch it. But for those who you who can truly enjoy a work of art even though at times you don't understand what the director is trying to say ... welcome to "Cages".

To me, Cages is about the main characters - Ali & Tan - who have been living in cages of their emotions and perceptions. How did they get out and be free? That's the revelation of the movies. It's about a daughter who couldn't forgive her father. A father who couldn't forgive the past. And how their gaps are filled through things they don't expect.

I really need to applaud the acting of Tan Kheng Hua. She's amazing. I'm looking at her with a different perspective now and she's not only the Phua Chu Kang star but also a true artist.

Even though like I said earlier I didn't understand what the director was trying to do but during the last scene, I teared. I guess that's the feeling when one has been free from the cages of their own lives.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
