Finally, I got the tickets. The day after I watched Jin Notti. It's rather different when we come with full of hope and high expectation. I used to banned film from certain directors and producers due to its disappointment after finished watching the film.
But this time, I felt so relief as I finished watching this film. It's worth to watch this award-winning film. Papadom bagged 5 awards during Malaysia Film Festival recently including Best Film, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Original Story and Best Music Score (by Pacai).
The story is about a father or papa named Sa'adom who are really busy with his business. He entrepreneurs PAPADOM, some kind of food that we add on Nasi Kandar especially. As time goes by, he always neglected his family; his loyal wife, Mun played by Noorkhiriah and the one and only daughter they have, Miasara, that played by Liyana Jasmay.
But, during Miasara's 10 th birthday, a tragedy happened. Both Mun and Mia involved in accident. Mun was dead. (the question is, we can't see what happened to Mia, so I assumed that Mia was safe). So, Sa'adom became a single parent upbringing Miasara. From a workaholic person who always keep his hands free from Mia, Sa'adom became a serious and too protective father.
All of them acted well in this film as a happy family. And I think that's why Afdlin once again crowned as Best Actors while LJ won Best Actress for the first time. All this while, we always catch LJ as a problematic girls BUT this time we can feel her feeling for being a daughter that has a nosy and so protective father who always accompany her everywhere, here and there that made her really uncomfortable. Her eager to taste the freedom is so realistic.
She has a best friend, Yvonne (played by Chelsia Ng) where she can share her secrets, problems and feelings. Their dreams to further studies outside Penang. And when the dreams come true, she felt in love with a guy then she abandoned her best friend. Why haa? That's always happen to girl??? TEET~
Whilst, Noorkhiriah who played Miasara's mother act successfully besides Que Haidar also played a nurd guy who admired Mia. As we know, Que also another actor who always in BAD and MISCHIEVOUS character. That's why both of them got nomination despite both of them didn't win the awards. Mun's character and feature is quite similar with Cat Farish in Jin Notti. Only Sa'adom could see and interact with her. I also quite impressed with Scha's character. Her grudge, revenge and kept me felt annoying. She is so feasible as Shasha.
There's always something that distracted me along any movies that I watched. For example, in this movie, I am quite distracted with Prof. Balqis, even the character was played by grade A actress, Vanida Imran.
Overall, this is a 'NEW' style film from Afdlin. Why?? Because this time Afdlin worked with new 'faces' like Liyana Jasmay, Que Haidar and Farid Kamil. No more Hans Isaac, Awie, AC, Patrick Teoh and etc. The familiar face that we can trace is just Harun Salim Bachik. Haha.
Along this film that took duration about 1 hour and 55 minutes, I kept questioning myself; Why Papadom beats Talentime to be the Best Film. For me, Talentime's storyline is more interesting. Papadom's is quite cliche about father-daughter problem but the way Afdlin arranged the plot plus with charismatic and well-known actors, that's why this film got an advantage. Furthermore it's so hilarious! I bet you will laugh throughout the movie and at the same time tears will drop unintentionally.
