Anwar: The Untold Story

Anwar: The Untold Story" is a film that truly stands out. After watching this movie, I felt it breathed life into the human side of Anwar Ibrahim's journey, defying the claims of being mere propaganda. Based on the Royal Commission of Inquiry's findings, the film presents a heartfelt portrayal that humanizes Anwar and his experiences.

What makes this film remarkable is its balanced approach. It delves into the complexities of Anwar's life and the challenges he faced, showcasing his charisma and determination, while also addressing the controversies surrounding his trial and subsequent events. This nuanced perspective adds depth and relatability to the narrative.

The film's attention to detail and commitment to accurately representing historical events deserve applause. It recreates the atmosphere of that time, allowing viewers to emotionally connect with the struggles and triumphs of Anwar and those around him.

"Anwar: The Untold Story" invites viewers to reflect on the personal toll that political turmoil can take on individuals and their families. It humanizes Anwar by highlighting his vulnerabilities and the impact of these events on his loved ones. This approach makes the film more accessible, engaging, and relatable to a wider audience.

It looks like a fictional story about Anwar Ibrahim and director not being fair to show historical value at that the time. More consultantion required by conducting more interviews with ex politicians and people. I feel it doesnt fair to rate this movie 7/10 because i value the facts and truth, and im not fan boy to Anwar Ibrahim. I just an observant to historical value at that time. I feel, this movie is not good enough maybe someone must rewrite again and remake this film. Sorry guys, i rather telling the truth then try to be 100% fan boy to Anwar Ibrahim. Please don't bash me for giving lower rating.

While the movie is not good enough for any international film competition, the actings are okay and the script is good since it's based on true events. It's the most special movie made because Anwar is the present prime minister of Malaysia and it tells the story of why Anwar was jailed for going against prime minister Mahathir while he was the deputy prime minister. This movie was completed before Anwar won in the last election and become the prime minister. It leaves me thinking, why is Mahathir totally silent over the movie? Why didn't Mahathir take legal action against the producer and director? Isn't this the best proof that what's told in the movie must be true?

I think Anwar: The Untold Story will be on the top 10 list of the worst Malaysian movies in 2023. I think the Indonesian producers and directors did not do their research very deeply about this political story. It looks Very weak in the script, storyline, and plot.

This movie has become even worse because the majority of the actors are Indonesian and only few are malaysian actor. After the first ten minutes, I couldn't stop laughing. All of them, from the minister to the police to Anwar's family's and supporters, are try hard to speak Bahasa Melayu, but the slang sounds Jawa. This is really hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣

This movie is not worthy of showing in cinemas; probably they should post it on TV or YouTube.

For me Anwar: The Untold Story , rating 1.5 out of 5. 👎👎👎

This movie is about a politician trying to fight corruptions which already becoming so worst in the gov. Admin. System. He did what he could as Deputy Prime Minister. He rejected money & land offered to him and his father. He reminded his family members not to take any government contracts. He also tried to amend anti-corruption act.

Back in the year 1990s , there was not much information we could get on what happened to anwar and family after he was caught and put into lockup. I guess that was the Untold part that this movie tried to convey.

I was told the original movie was supposed to be 180 minutes but shorten to 100minutes. Probably that's why the scenes transitions are not good at some parts. But as a whole, i think it is still a good movie with a good message and worth to be watched.
