The Elephant and the Sea trailer 《大象与海》预告片

The first official trailer of Woo Ming Jin's awards-winning Malaysian indie film, THE ELEPHANT AND THE SEA.

Produced by Greenlight Pictures
Written and directed by Woo Ming Jin
Music by Edmund Yeo

Synopsis:
The inhabitants of a Malaysian coastal fishing village struggle in a hostile environment. Has there been a disaster? A deadly epidemic? What happened to the elephant? Was there an elephant? An intriguing tragiccomedy about the isolation of the human condition.

This critically-acclaimed film had won the BEST DIRECTOR and CRITICS Awards at last year's Cine Digital Seoul Film Festival. It also won a SPECIAL JURY AWARD at the Torino Film Festival, and another BEST DIRECTOR Award at the recently concluded DIBA Digital Barcelona Film Festival in Spain.

剧情：
《大象与海》大胆地以大象和海洋为意象，以充满地区色彩和诗意的语言探索了马来西亚在经济巨变中的的社会百态。片中生涩的小镇少年，在底层生活中绽放青春的少女以及孤独沉­默的壮年男子，被编织到带有淡淡哀愁和惆怅的现实气息之中，凝结成大时代来临之前波澜不惊的寂静。

二十年前是台湾，今日是马来西亚，亚洲电影新潮下一站及可能重回到乡村路上打拼，然而时移世易，编导胡明进不用乡土文学撑场，大胆单刀直入以大象为心像，以大海为意志浴场­，作诗性超现实的现代探索。他与《太阳雨》的何宇恒等人的出现，令人开始憧憬马来西亚初生的华语电影。

People shouldn't bitch when their asses are handed to them on a silver platter & I don't agree with the 'we have more awards than you do so we're laughing at you!' excuse many amateur filmmakers in Malaysia use. I'm sure Jerry Bruckheimer is thinking 'James Lee has more awards than I do?! Fuck that hurts!'
