kenapa sweet dream? bahagian 2

so lets get started!

the white hat thinking. meaning the positive thought or opinion over one issue.

1. the restriction of kinship between man and woman
I like the function of 'halal bag', the fact that mira filzah herself said ben amir and sean lee at most time respect her by not having skinship nor touch her. Which i believe can be seen by all audience. As i mention in my Instagram post, i don't like how many dramas actually normalized the kinship between man and woman just because they are 'married' in that drama.

2. the drama is soo beautiful
even if you are a hater, you can't deny that the drama looks very beautiful. from the promotion or trailer video and photo, the usual KL popular spots until the style of the character, all of them are beautiful. so credit to the visual editor ,photographer and cameraman.

3. the interesting script and catchphrase
To be honest, i am hooked to this drama because of cempaka's catchphrase "Baguslah, kita dapat seorang bisu seorang buta. Haa tepukkk".
Talking about the script, i like how they show the family bond and love not in a typical way. I mean other drama would show a 'happy family' type as a kind soft heart parent who never get angry and always positive, and children that so obedient and never misbehaved.
but in reality, every family have a flaw. and the kind of family that we see as broken family sometimes have their own version of happiness. lola is a tough mother who always shouts at her children, belittle them but at most time she is the most protective mother i ever seen on television.

4. Sweet dreams is like an experimental religion genre drama from michael ang. I like how he throw the current issue of being a muslim not necessary being a malay, can a non muslim go to visit muslim cemmentary, the power of doa and such from the character of uncle wong. From character of tuan fadil, i am really affected by his advise to putri that whatever situation or decision she make, she must respect her mother and not neglecting her.

5. And of course the ending. For the first ending, it is more realistic and therefore it make me depress. Yes, mira filzah has a point that she said putri should be dead a long time ago, so that ending would prove that no human can defeat Allah swt fate. It is sad but realistic ending. And make me realise no use to dating before marriage if you dont want to be depress like all audience. Pftt.
And michael ang also said that if one is given an ill-fated, he or she mostly would think more about his or her life in a wise way. Admit it how many would be grateful with Allah's gift and how many would turn  onto Him when facing obstacle or sad situation. 

6. The ost is the best thing that happen in this drama. All of them is the best.

I raise my case. Lets have the black hat thinking

1. Still, i am quit unsatisfied with the ikhtilat between putri and qash. Yes,they not having skinship but zina can happen as easy as look into the eye, whispering to each other ear, showing a cute and manja face. Some scene i found quite distracting as if i am ben amir, i would fall in love easily with mira filzah for her cuteness. Being cute is not a crime but dont overdo it. You never know how a man thought when you acting cute like that. To be safe, just dont act cute in front of ajnabi,save if after marriage.

2. I read one of the comment on youtube,saying that he worried that the entertainment people would use religion figure like pu azman to make illegal things legal. You know what i mean. For example, the fact that tuan fadil character that turn head over heels with lola, seem not suitable for a person that we know must take care of his ikhtilat.maybe one would say "there, pu azman is doing dating scene. So it means dating is halal". I am afraid that some of his action might mislead viewer who have little knowledge about islam.

3. Putri hijab style, and her outfit seem cute but to be honest, it is not syariah compliance. Often, the outfit seem to show her body shape and the hijab itself cannot cover the 'important part' to be covered. Well, to all BBNU, that kind of hijab style is not new. Back in 2005,2006 Bienda had that style. And during that time, i remember how my ustazah said that the style is not syariah compliance because you are treating the hijab like hair. The hijab suppose to cover the hair and some part of body, not giving a view about how a woman hair look like. You can google hijab style that prohibited by islam.

5. Maybe this is only me but...ben amir..can you stop being shirtless? I really have problem seing his nightmare scene because of that.

6.second ending is more to fairytale ending. Happily ever after. But as the viewer had seen the sad ending first, we already feels depressed. So yes, i dont dont the second ending as it give me much pressure than the first one. Seriously if you want to counter back the pressure from the first ending, please wrap it properly. I dont know, showing they are having a wedding with a horse maybe.
Last,for god sake, if the second happy ending means you have to repeat 55 minutes scene again (from the first ending), it is really cruel. Yes, i am not saying it is wrong,but it do make me angry. Grr

Heyyyy i did write full in english. Although i did write malay word like manja because i forget the word in english.

And whoever did accuse me for being a maniac or fanatic, well do write a post like this to prove that. Watching drama especially malay drama does not mean you are less cool or you are wasting your time. For everything you do, you believe, you must analyse and not just jump to conclusion.

Thats the statistician in me talking

kenapa sweet dreams? bahagian 1

assalamualaikum

akhirnya drama ni dah habis.
dengan pengakhiran cerita yang membuatkan aku kemurungan walaupun selepas diberi pengakhiran bahagia selamanya.

jadi ada pelbagai reaksi yang aku dapat dari orang sekeliling aku tentang drama ni. atau mungkin lebih kepada reaksi aku yang kelihatan separuh mati meminati drama ini.

Ada yang komen "Drama ni tak realistik. Macam mana boleh pakai baju sama setiap hari?".
"Ohh drama si bisu tu. Tak nak tengoklah, tak suka Mira Filzah".
"Haha akhirnya semua tu mimpi kan? Buat penat je kau tengok".

Tarik nafas dan lepaskan perlahan-lahan.
Begini ye rakan-rakanku sekalian.

Aku tak meminati kebanyakan drama Melayu (boleh rujuk tajuk-tajuknya dalam entri aku yang lepas) bukan atas sebab kebencian semata-mata. Oleh sebab aku ni sangat meminati bidang penulisan novel terutamanya, aku lebih fokus pada karakter dan jalan cerita. Sebab bila kita membaca, semuanya bergantung pada imaginasi kita untuk membayangkannya. Aku percaya peminat Acik Lana yang sudah baca novel itu terlebih dahulu pasti tidak dapat membayangkan Ben Amir dan Mira Filzah sewaktu membacanya. Cerita itu sudah kuat dengan plot cerita dan karakter itu sendiri.

Dan apabila ditayangkan di kaca televisyen, ia dipersembahkan melalui skrip dan lakonan pemain watak disamping tuan direktor yang mengawal semua aspek teknikal dan apa-apa sajalah yang berkaitan.

Aku serius jatuh suka dengan skrip yang bersahaja dan penuh bermakna disamping lakonan para pelakon yang tidak kekok. Ya, Mira Filzah tidak sesempurna Siti Elizad, Fauziah Ahmad Daud dan Ben Amir masih tidak mencapai tahap Beto Khusyairi, Bront Palarae, Jalaluddin Hassan. Tapi mereka berjaya mencipta keserasian dengan perbezaan personaliti yang mereka miliki. Dan mereka seperti kata orang putih 'keep it low' apatah lagi dengan Mira Filzah yang menjaga batas dan Ben Amir yang memang pemalu sejak azali. Kekurangan lakonan mereka berjaya ditutup dengan kehadiran watak-watak lain seperti Sean Lje sebagai Karl, Datin Nina sebagai Lola, Yusuf Bahrain sebagai Dr Ammar dan Yuna Rahim sebagai Cempaka.

Bagi aku drama ini cantik dan tak bosan. Dan tahukah anda siapa panel penulis skrip yang terlibat? Salah satu daripada mereka adalah Nadia Khan. Ya, Nadia Khan yang tulis novel Gantung. Maka tak mustahillah skrip cerita ni sangat menarik. Jadi terbuktilah bahawasanya aku sukakan cerita ini kerana cerita ini sendiri. Bukan kerana Nadia Khan yang memang sudah jadi penulis kesukaan aku sejak sekian lama, bukan kerana Mira Filzah yang aku sukakan lakonannya dalam 'Lelaki Kiriman Tuhan' dan bukan kerana Ben Amir.

Maaf Ben, saya cuma suka anda sebagai Qash Adam.
Oh, dan juga sukakan rambut anda.

Apa yang aku nak cakap disini ialah jangan menilai sesuatu hanya dari luaran. Hanya sebab kau tak ikut drama ni yang tiba-tiba menjadi sangat hangat maka kau mahu drama ini gagal dan mengutuknya habis habisan atas sebab yang bodoh.

Aku ada tulis di instagram aku yang aku bukan memuja drama ini. Ia ada banyak kelemahan, sejujurnya. Kalau kau kenal aku, aku tak suka apabila lelaki dan perempuan tidak menjaga batas. Insyaallah aku berusaha untuk menjaga batas pergaulan aku sendiri sebagaimana aku berpegang pada kepercayaan tersebut. Aku boleh juga senaraikan beberapa keburukan dan kekurangan filem ini sebagaimana aku boleh senaraikan kebaikannya.

Itu di entri yang seterusnya. Sebab ia panjang.

Heiiiiiiiiiiiii saya berjaya bercakap Bahasa Melayu di sepanjang entri ini. Vivy Yusof! Saya dah berjaya #cabaranbercakapMelayu. atau dalam kes aku #cabaranmenulisdalambahasaMelayu

*baik sebenarnya aku lupa nama # tu jadi aku letak sajalah ye
