Added on June 22, 2008, 5:39 pmstupid PGL? i think that movie is milessss better than your usual malay cinema crap. As for why cant we make something like this? easy.. money. when PGL was giving the national film grant people question why we need to waste 20 million ringit on a MOVIE. simply put malaysian film market cannot pulang modal. the highest grossing film in malaysian history i think is Mrai Mariana by Yusof Haslam or something. Not sure la but didn't even reach 8 million

so how can we producers get the funding for expensive movies with cool CGI effect. its easy to complain kan? easy to say our filmakers takde bakat. but the fact is to make cool efefct n costume like this movie cost big money my friend

by the way.. do watch pensel. cheap movie but damn nice story. i heard its not making money too because of the keagaamaan subtext. a shame really..

this movie is historically incorrect at least by 14 century

16th century is already Islamic era and the dutch already occupied Malacca.

Hinduism already diminished in the MALAY archipelagos

and langkasuka is founded on 2nd century and last till 14th where it become the Javenese kingdom of Srivijaya tributary.

and wearing full plate armor like lineage2 oh come on.

PGL is better.

malaysia has the potential to do something like this but too bad the ROI for m'sia alone can't really cover the costs...unless we can sell it to some bigger market somewhere as box office (first market)...not ancilliary market

in bangkok itself there's like load and load of cinemas...so the thais really can make money from their own films...hence why they're never very stingy in production costs...

btw - watch Sepi...then you guys will see that Msian films arent that bad actually..

I'm going to go see this tomorrow. This movie is more for entertainment not documentary so don't expect any historical accuracy. They only borrowed the actual event and characters from the region then fantasized, exaggerated the everything to make it more fun and interesting to watch.

The Art of dulum actually still practice today by local fishermen, but it is nothing more than the way to listen and locate type fish under the water. The movie exaggerate The Art of dulum that person who practice dulum can communicate with the fish and control the fish, even big fish like whale.

Anyway, I think this movie is going to be really good if you're not too serious about the history.

If Malaysia would make a big production movie like this, I'm sure it would sells in Thailand. Thailand is one of the biggest market for the world film industry. Hong Kong, India, Korea, Hollywood. All movies from these countries are doing very well and make good money in Thailand. Thai people love movies and are not bias racism when it comes to movies. We watch whatever is good. Hey.. I watch everything that looks good to me, except for Indian movies. I got nothing against them but I just can't stand how they sing and dance around the trees all the time. If they would just make normal movie without the singing, I would watch it.

Malaysia when?? very tempting!!! (drooling)

it's kinda to see the thai's doing a film about the history of m'sia first...and seeing actors in traditional malay costume speaking thais and doing it stylishly makes me wanna cry...

i would watch this mainly coz of the curiousity factor...

Finally I got to see it. I have been a big fan of Chinese and Japanese period movies all my life. I love the sight of the ancient village, Sword Fight scenes, Samurai walking around. After more than 30 years the Chinese and Japanese cinema has probably maxed out their potential. I found these period movies very lame boring nothing new. I have lost my interest I started to read and do many research on many Southeast Asian culture and history including Burma, Philippine, Laos, Cambodian Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam. I have become very fascinated with how colorful and much more interesting about varies Southeast Asian culture than the Well Known to the world Chinese and Japanese. I kept wishing that someone would take some of these local legend and put into film with all these beautiful fancy costumes. I was so happy that there were many period film out in Thailand and then raised of Tony Jaa who shown the world how to Muay Thai on film. I couldn't have been happier and I kept wishing that some other countries in Southeast Asian would try to really get into film making and make Southeast Asia another competitive market. I was so happy back in 2004 when Puteri gunung ledang came out. It was a really good try but it was a little let down for me. I guess I was so hyped up about it and really expect extraordinary. Never the less it was descent enough for international market. This was never released in Thailand but I was lucky to have been in Kuala lumpur at that time. I am very fascinated with Malay, Indonesian, Burmese and Filipino Martial Arts. and I really wish to see Malay costume with Keris in good action, and finally this Film Queen of Langkasuka fulfilled my wish and it took the Thai to do it Spectacular. I really hope that we get more of this type of Southeast Asian period type movie. I don't care who make them as long as they're good.

our neighboring county is making such an awesome movie about our history lol. cant wait to watch it !

The Queen Of Langkasuka (2008)




Part 1 - 1

looking forward for this movie. am a big fan of history movie.

i just watched it yesterday. its a cool movie eventhough got mixed up with fantasies and historical inaccuracies. the characters varies and the set up costumes and environment are commendable. Malaysians unable to do films like this because we are too close minded. we are too Malay-centric when talking about our history. just compare with PGL. Through this movie, I can see the Siamese really understand the reality of cultural pluralism in their history.
