not bad for a Malaysian movie

firstly, if by watching this movie you expect to see a lot on the japanese occupation, i'd advise you against it. However, if you're keen to know whether or not the Malaysian Film industry has progressed, then by all means, take a seat. the movie revolves wholly on the title character, Embun, who lives with her brother, a malay activist, and her parents. Umie Aida carries the role with perfection, albeit the occasional flaws in her Utara accent. her brother, Bayu, played by Hani Mohsin, goes boldly against the Japanese, demanding the malay rights and broken promises once used by the Japanese when the Brits were still around.However, Bayu gets caught, thus the story begins, of Embun trying to save Bayu from captivity, fighting for her nation on the way. Heart-wrenching is the death of Embun's father, played by Rahim Razali, who is killed by the Japs on his way to plead for Bayu's life. Khatijah Tan also plays an excellent mother to the two, make-up and all really convincing.

a bit on the comedic sight was Izi Yahya as Akichi, the bad jap.his antics could make you roar with laughter yet feel like murdering him at the same time, especially the facial expressions. Akasha's role as Koichi was rather illogical, though. a Japanese speaking perfect Indonesian? and at that time of the year too?

overall the movie was very entertaining, mostly thanks to the credible cast. a big clap on the back for Erma Fatima, who never fails to go one step further with each movie she makes!
