Like many others, I keep away from local films like the plague. Movies like One Leg Kicking, Sharp Pencil, Chicken Rice War and Liang Po Po have left me with a bad taste in my mouth. But alas, along came City Sharks, a movie starring the very surprising (in a good way) Nicholas Lee. Ok, I admit I didn't catch the movie when it played in the cinemas. But I was fortunate enough to catch it some weeks back at Fort Canning where it played to a few thousand people in the park. I heard some grumble 'why are they showing a local film?'. 'Why don't they show Daredevil?' etc. etc. But these were the same people who were, half an hour later, laughing hysterically at the antics on screen. It was funny, didn't try to be arty, and was just 90 minutes of fun, fun, fun! I loved the fact that something new happened every ten minutes in the film. And thanks to Sharks, I have since borrowed more local films on video. Mostly crap, as expected, but a few great ones like 'Eating Air'. Is it a coincidence that 'Air' like 'Sharks' is a road-ie movie? Perhaps more Singaporean filmmakers should make road movies instead of poorly made movies about football, chicken rice, trees, jane's and sam's! Good work to the Singaporean (or was it Malaysian) team for an extremely entertaining movie. And thanks too for restoring my faith in local movies 译文(2): 像许多其他人一样，我像躲避瘟疫一样远离当地电影。像《单腿踢人》、《尖铅笔》、《鸡肉饭大战》和《梁宝宝》这样的电影让我觉得口味不好。可惜的是，《城市鲨鱼》(City Sharks)出现了，这是一部由尼古拉斯?李(Nicholas Lee)主演的非常出人意料的电影。好吧，我承认电影在电影院放映的时候我没有看清楚。但是我很幸运几周前在 Fort Canning 看到了它，在那里公园里几千人观看了它的演出。我听到一些抱怨“为什么他们要放本地电影?”？'.为什么不放夜魔侠呢？等等。但是这些人在半个小时之后，还是对着屏幕上的滑稽动作歇斯底里地大笑。这很有趣，没有试图成为艺术，只是90分钟的乐趣，乐趣，乐趣！我喜欢电影中每十分钟就会发生一些新的事情。多亏了《大鲨鱼》 ，我借到了更多的本地电影录像。不出所料，大部分都是垃圾，但也有一些很棒的，比如“吃空气”。《空气》和《鲨鱼》一样是一部公路电影，这是巧合吗？也许更多的新加坡电影人应该制作公路电影，而不是关于足球、鸡肉饭、树木、简氏和山姆氏的劣质电影！新加坡(或者马来西亚)团队为这部极具娱乐性的电影做了很好的工作。也谢谢你恢复了我对当地电影的信心
