Talentime is a 2009 Malaysian drama film written & directed by Yasmin Ahmad. Yasmin, in her blog, mentioned that the idea behind Talentime was that as humans, we have to go through a lot of pain and some measure of suffering before we can reach greater heights. I only got the chance to watch Talentime today after 3 years of release.
Such a beautiful story line where the characters get embroiled in a world of heightened emotions - ambition, love, jealousy, pain, comedy & heartbreak.
This competition has matched 2 hearts - Melur, a Malay mixed Eurasian girl and an Indian male students, Mahesh (hearing impaired). Melur, who is good in singing & playing piano is one of the seven finalist. Hafiz, another finalist sings well & plays the guitar is a new student , dividing his time between school and mother, being hospitalised for brain tumour who dies at end.
Kahoe, a chinese boy from a rich family made through finals. He plays the erhu & resents Hafiz. Kahoe was a top scorer in class till Hafiz comes into the picture. It all started after Mahesh, amongst the students assigned to get the finalist to school for practice & Melur was assigned to him.
Watch the movie!!!!!!! No more spoilers...hehehehe!!!
P.S. Sorry for any grammar mistakes!!
