I so loved this movie and Jessica Alba is so adorable. I watched this to learn more about the Sarawak Tribe because my Maternal Grandfather was born in Malaysia in the late 1890s and I didn't know where but I later found that he was born in Bornio which meant he was from the Dayak Tribe. I created a video of this movie that I love so much. I will try to post it here.

is there a part 4?

[jackyjuingjonathan]

part 4 have been banned by youtube, i have no idea about it. T_T

[amarettaludia]

@jackyjuingjonathan I have part 4 in my video. I'll try to post it here, if not go to my Channel and look under the Uploads and it will be titled as follows: THE SLEEPIN DICTIONARY - unchained melody_Clay Aiken. I also have Part 4 on my harddrive but it's no use trying to U/L it here if UTube won't allow it. It has them mostly in bed making their baby. I have the important part of 4 in my video.

[jackyjuingjonathan]

[mmerzaban]

[juzafrog]

ibans in sarawak now are so different compared to the one in this movie. they should use real iban girls as the main actress.. her iban language is so weird. at least she try anyway.. just for information for the viewers outside of malaysia, the ibans are so advanced now.. we lives in bungalow and went to university..

[fanatical16]

where is part 4?

[MrPsychoTed]

another thing, pandai gik laki urang putih nyak jako iban ari jessica alba! lol

[MrPsychoTed]

I'm Iban, but I cant understand a thing she's saying.... this movie is Ok, but it's a load of crap, an Iban tribe wont give their daughters to 'sleep' with a man ... are you kidding me? where the hell did they get that idea?... well hollywood, whatever makes money, entertainment sake, but I couldnt help but feel insulted!

[imfromtambunan]

@amarettaludia there is no single dayak tribe. there are actually hundreds of different ethnic groups :)

[PieMasterX13]

So much for part 4! PieMasterX13s' mom

[EricDerr1]
