881 videos

a touching song



yeah! and 881 won rush hour3! and even secret!
it is really worth watching.
Some may think that it is a show watched only by aunties and uncles.
(yeah, quite true, cos i was surrounded by them.)
Some may think that it is a crude show cos the "musical" is in hokkien,
and they speak hokkien in the show.

so what?
i mean that is the way to film geitai as it is.
and hokkien is not a crude language hor!
(you can't say that the language is crude just because it has the commonly used bad words related to the language.)

in 881, the language is quite refined actually.
especially the songs.
they are meaningful.
not like those “如果我有一百万”, “风很大”。。
(all titles in hokkien)
those are my dad kinda songs.
haha.

881 songs are like “一人一半”
which is the video up there.
there is also the full hokkien version one.
it is a meaningful song.
bringing out the element of kinship in the movie.
don't you think that royston tan really deserve to be praised for his brillant infusion of a geitai into a musical?

for those who haven watched it, go watch it now!
you will not regret!
maybe you might end up in tears and laughing simultaneously?
