KL ZOMBIE....terrific! *spoilers*

Another fun and entertaining movie for our local actor Zizan. Me and kids loved it! and my favorite bit is that the women (and girl) kicked ass. Yup! that's what we need some Malay women movie kicking ass for a change and not just crying and going "tolong! tolong!" like whims with no back bone.

As much as the dramas and movies are 'supposedly' a reflection of the society; I believe movie makers and script writers have a big role in influencing the mentality of a society. If our local movies keep portraying women as brainless, spineless and constantly being bullied then, indirectly that is the message we are passing and subconsciously, people start to believe that is the truth. However, if we portray women as strong, independent and able to defend oneself, we are sending a positive message regarding our women and hopefully, influence people to believe that is what they are and how they should be treated i.e. with respect! 

Apart from the 'ass kicking' the movie is also funny and at times, a bit scary...although, the idea of zombies dominating the world, infecting everyone is far from unique but I like this version of zombie apocalypse because it has local culture within it. It is not a carbon copy of Hollywood or Bollywood. It is essentially a Malay movie.

Also, unlike other movies where "LOVE" is the only theme with nothing else happening in the whole entire movie. In this movie, love is just a side-line or a side menu with the "running away from zombie" and fighting for survival as the main theme. Yup! Truly enjoyed this movie.

Let's have more Malay movies with strong kicking ass women and other issues being the theme such as "fighting for the survival of our rain forest" or "against pollution" or "better road safety". I mean we have so many issues to make a movie of other than love or ghost.
