Nangis, Senjata Wanita

Wangi Jadi Saksi. my very first theatre that i watched at esplanade. fuyooh. the ambience was almost real. i could smell the kemenyan, the sounds of the jungle. fuuuh power.

but the problem is, the malay language they used are very oldskool. i had to read the subtitles a few times. its not that they use bombastic words, but the phrases are very different. i've read the book "Sejarah Melayu" before. and the malay language almost like that and its quite difficult to understand. i'll give an example of what i meant by 'the phrases are very different'. its like watching Gema Puisi Artistik like that lah.

"aku nak pergi toilet." easy to understand right? lets try this.
"ke kamar mandi ingin ku pergi." how? weird? well the theatre is more than that.

the story is about the behind story of why Tuah kill Jebat. and Dang Wangi, the wife of Jebat witnessed it. its because one of the minister wants power, others had to sacrifice. the best part was, Tuah didn't kill Jebat... oh yeah....

i only remember this line. dunno why to me it sounds good. the minister confronts Dang Wangi, whose now a widow, he wanna hit on her and so he says, "kau bagai sekuntum bunga. kalau tidak dipetik, lama2 akan layu, akan jatuh ke bumi dimakan tanah."

oh there's also one part when Dang Wangi cried, the minister said to her that a malay lady's last resort, using a weakness as strength, that is, crying. and of course the minister didn't like it, he even forces her to stop or else he will kill her.
