"Ice Kacang Puppy Love" - 初恋红豆冰 Movie Review

It was a movie really successfully been directed by a Malaysian pop singer named, A Niu... This movie has all the star power to make this movie pop as it boasts an impressive lineup of Malaysian & Overseas artists named Lee ShinJie, Gary Chaw, Victor Wong, Fish Leong, Eric Moo, Angela Chan and Yi Jet Qi... Most of them are singers but there are contributions of their vocal qualities to the film's soundtract, which were quite pleasing to the ears...



Based on the childhood experiences that we all overcomed, this movie brought us back to a small town where we were introduced to a timid boy named Botak (A Niu) who was incapable of making a good cup of old fashioned coffee... He shown his love interest towards Da Jia Yu (Lee ShinJie), a feisty girl who boldly beats up bullies and who eyes can shoot darts... As the movie prolongs, there will be the introduction of big troublemaker Ma Li Fan with Aaron Kwok's hairstayle (Gary Chaw) who always challenges Da Jia Yu at silly bets ranging from "guli" aka marbles to fish fighting... Ma Li Fan's sister Ma Li Bing (Fish Leong) who keeps on drinking Barlie and has a crush on Botak... Meanwhile, the charcoal seller's son Prince (Victor Wong) whom Botak's overweight sister (Lim Ching Miau) dream of marrying with...



This movie is to be praised that the director has the ability to handle the subplots, which has the ability to give enough screen time to tell their individual stories, yet which seems to be crowded out one another... The perfect of puppy love helps to keep the movie on its toes together with great comedic timing that hits plenty of right notes to put one in the mood for romance... It was a story surrounding first loves for many of the characters... The ice kacang dessert is the main part of it as it contains plenty of syrup sweetness which inevitably melts away... Even the cinematography is brilliant poised with may interesting angles, historical buildings, historical environments, the underwater scenes, where we are put in the fishes point of view...



Talented ensemble never failed to deliver the successful performance below par and has managed to execute an enjoyable childish energy... The movie which sets around the timing of 1980s that made audience will surely reminisce over those old authentic coffee shops and favourite childhood pastimes (hitting marbles, girls' fake cooking cultries, pots and pans, fish fighting)... It was a little hurtful to animal lovers upon seeing fishes been attacking each other violently...

当天空还是蓝的
when the sky is still blue
当世界还是简单的时候
when the world is still simple
我们的回忆
our memories
我们的故事
our story
我们的歌
our song

I personally was really impressed with A Niu's movie debut... There is never a dull scene in this movie that consists of laughter that will find itself around every corner... A truly wonderful bittersweet film meant for all Malaysians to be proud to enjoy...
