Movie- 歲月 The Days
Nope this is not the Movie poster, this guy is the Executive Producer for the Movie-The Days 歲月, Mr Jason Poh. Thanks to this dude, I got invited to the Gala Premiere of 歲月 The Days. I saw many friends at the Gala Premiere and I really enjoyed the show. Thank you Jason!!
I feel like BLAST-from the PAST when I watched the movie because the timeline is based at my teenage years, yeah, the 90s youngsters in the "Tea-Dance-Parties" where you pay 10 bucks for a glass of Cola & dance to Euro Techno in the afternoon!! People who goes to "Tea-Dance-Parties" are either gangsters OR gangsters wannabe, yeah I was under the "Wannabes" category. I actually got goose bumps of embarassment as some scenes brought me back to my teenage days when everything I thought was so damn cool is what I feel its "Or Biang" now, like the hairstyle, the dance pattern, the branded stuff, the language used the 'one-to-one' stare fights, etc etc....OMG! They even got some really "Lau Lan" face guys to act, I see already feel like slapping them as much as the story-line does.. hahaha.. Memories manz..
歲月 is very tastefully done although it is a violent movie, the gory scenes would be replaced with a drawing scenic before you see the blood shed, I think that's kinda cool. 歲月 is based on real experiences of the people who are involved in the movie and inspired into a story/script. The music in 歲月 is good, of which 2 of the songs is composed by Jim Lim, 林倛玉 namely 分叉路 (Crossroads) & 懂 (Knowing) which is no doubt good, coz Jim is a Music Guru in my point of view, the song 分叉路 is sang by the Main actor of 歲月, Justin Chan or "Tai Zi" in the movie. Check the song out at the below link...
I can relate to the movie because, Jason Poh is the Executive Producer for 歲月 & a friend of mine, and also, I can see Mr Brandon Khoo & Bernard Ang who are also my friends, acting in some scenes. And of coz I can relate to Jim Lim's music as well coz I worked with him before. The 歲月 cast tattoos are done by peepz I know too, Jap Loh & June!
This film is supported by ITE (the school where the bengs are) in Aid of The Yellow Ribbon Project & ISCOS (counselling group). For those who wanna know how the 90s Ah Bengs & Lians are like or for those who are around my age and wanna experience a BLAST-from the Past, Please watch 歲月 The Days and support LOCAL productions & Yellow Ribbon!!
Kudos to 歲月! SWEE EHH!!
