Just watched this movie on Thursday night with my Mommy, Grandma, cousins (Chei and Chin) and my brother.
The message of this movie, from my interpretation, is the value of family. The ultimate message: No matter how hectic or successful your life is, it should not stop you from caring and keep in touch with your family members.
Since last year's "Tiger Woohoo", I'm really impressed with local production. Despite the cast being radio announcers, news anchors and singing talents (whom only selected few had at least some talent in acting), the movie came out perfect, with the distinctive Malaysian flavor.
The same could be said about "Great Day". Though the plot seems a bit rushed in the middle (the part about the grandfather and granddaughter bonding), it tells of story that can be relate to by every Malaysian: the maid spending more time with the kids instead of the parents, marriage problem, taking care of ill parents, etc.
I personally relate to the experience of the man called "kong hu cha" and his "son". When the man said, "My father is already dead" - and from that point of the movie, we assumed that he was saying that because he hated his father's way of living and would not want to have anything to do with his old man.
I reflected on that. Am I behaving in the same way as the man? Well, maybe not to the same extreme, but... I just couldn't help but keeping a grudge against him for his mistakes. Is it wrong?
Anyway, "Great Day" is a movie that will touch your heart with its witty jokes/remarks, amusing casts (some with great potential) and touching storyline.
Be sure to watch it if you haven't. You will not regret it.
