'The Son' by Desmond Ng - English Subtitles - 15Malaysia

[bghon]

hmmm...very intersting. Firstly the boy himself felt the urge to be racist but the dad differs. This kinda of feeling is also widely to be in vice-versa if he is an opposite race. 50 years of Merdeka ..means nothing when Govt. Policies mixed with Politics Elements.

[rexyke]

It's about latent interracial tension. Whether intentional or conditioned from just growing up in Malaysia.

[Iionsz]

what is this movie about?

[sakthis7]

i dun understand this damn vid!

[bo093]

why would he see the fone?

it have the video of the beating.

maybe he did.

[jueijuei]

why dato z is a lawyer, not a politician? and lawyer for..... the C boy or the M boy?

[Propahhh]

lame...

[waiwai0405]

sucks~

[KTJUNK]

Spoiler Alert! Analysis Enclosed!

1. The reporter mentioned the fact that a Malay male was beaten. What kind of person will jump to the conclusion that this is a racially motivated beating? Zaid's press statement highlighted that fact. Anybody missed that?

2. The father and son conversation did not disprove that he was not involved in the beating. The content of the video could in fact shows that he was involved in the beating.

This video shows that Assumptions is only good for Hypothesis.

And you should learn to spell first. Stop being racist. It happens to everyone.

[klanpop]

bangsa and not kaum......AGAIN!

[kagebunshin88]

they speak cantonese in the video in the phone

[krylon2g]

agreed with seaninasia..the synopsis of this film also said that it was a racially motivated assault ..the boy feel the urge to beat the boy with no reason?? wht it could be huh? MALAY BOY la fcker.....damn racist!! he recorded evrything in video with his phone but the police said there is no witness...clearly the gov is trying to proctect the racial conflict from happening..tht what was the gov been doing all the time..if the real story were publish for sure chaos and hatred will rise again..

[gnot0928]

actually what is this all about?

Crime? Suspects? Witnesses?

[palas1250]

The son was involved in beating a boy too.

[seaninasia]

I guess the clip kind of implies the 3 are Chinese cause the son said he wanted to join in without reason. Plus in the end the son decided not to rat out the 3 other guys that's why there's no witnesses.

[snipergirl21]

I think the first two minutes could have been cut off. It's just pure time-wasting. Get straight into the action, then it will leave more impact!

[cwtjones]

what? at the end of the film, the boy also become a suspect?? and police said there is no witness... so the wisel blower also become a suspect. So, the police just close the case with 4 suspect detained and no nwitness. BAGUS!

[DontBsAround]

are you serious than a C can actually hit a M?

i think the other way around would be smth more usual to happen =="

but, if its other way around, i think the video would be in the bin for a long time~~

[protopotato]

this is exactly what the video is NOT about

[thedato]

doesnt matter anyways.. both scenario are still bad and shouldn't be happening..

[snipergirl21]

You know, no one actually said what races the other 3 boys were. We only know one of them, the one that went to the cops, was Chinese. Interesting how people think that it was Chinese boys beating on a Malay boy. I think it's more a case of them bullying this boy, and the only thing that mentions race is the news report. So is it the gove/media that is steering us to racial stereotypes...?

[hudd06]

yeah..agreed.noticed the first part of the news report has no significant relation at all with the following comment..but merely paired together so we'd learn to associate the two and form a behavioral response...this is why i dont watch news..i hate that f**king show

[cbr1786]

ala boringnye...

[FohKang86]

keep up the great work

[ashtonkonon]

Nokia 7610~!

[waiwai0405]

the most important part is the part where Dato Zaid was being interviewed and giving her opinions.

The beginning can consider as rubbish?

[cbr1786]

his, not "her"...lol

[Jessiejc23]

informative.

but i think it's a bit too short lah.

Plus the period Zaid was in the clip was really short.

I would appreciate if the period Zaid be in clip will be much more longer.

Nice anyway^^

hey, im second!

[sam151188]

Ok....oh....oh??? oh....
