| Harimau Malaya |
Marianne
is an ambitious reporter counting down her days to leave for England until she
is assigned to do a story on the glory days of Malaysian football team. She
travels to Sabah to locate on the football great to re-live those moments. The
squad was at first struggling to play as a team with the individuals involved
faced with their own personal problems. They loose match after match and are
de-moralised until newly appointed English coach decides to turn the table around
and change the line-up. Tempers flare at first but soon the multi-raced side start
to click together and face the biggest match of their life. Will they be able
to come up on tops?

The
Director, Chui took a big risk with The Journey few years back and was awarded handsomely
for showing how Malaysians lived together in harmony. He once again spurs the sense
of togetherness by offering us this sporting story. His tale hits a familiar
feeling that Malaysians hold closely to our heart, supporting our team in time
of need. The brilliant plot coupled with excellent acting by mostly new comers
along with marvellous cinematography to capture our nation’s natural beauty
will jerk at least a few tears from movie goers. Watching and hearing the crowd
in Stadium Merdeka rooting for the team gave me goosebumps as if I was seated
at the venue. Such is the superb work by those involved in making this film.

With
the current slump of our National football team in the international arena,
this film is a timely release to remind Malaysians of the fighting spirit of
the players showed during the most difficult times of their life. Hopefully it
will serve as an encouragement for the present players to achieve what others
thought was impossible task. Ola Bola scores big time in my books. Majulah
sukan untuk Negara!
