Bambaazon: first telemovie in Kadazandusun language to be broadcast on national television

Someone uploaded the whole movie to youtube already, first part:
————————————
As I am writing this, I am watching the movie during lunchtime in the office.
Starring Akademi Fantasia stars Linda Nanuwil (her 2nd movie), Felix Agus and Ebi Kornelis.
It’s not the first Kadazan/Dusun-language (well, about 80% of the script) telemovie in history, but it’s apparently the first ever to be broadcast for the whole nation to see, and the timing is appropriate: on the approach to the climax to the Harvest Festival celebrations.
News of showing of the movie has been making the rounds since last year.
Part of newsreport in the New Sabah Times.
It’s about Ivy (Linda Nanuwil), a university student who wants to escape from poverty (well, who doesn’t?) currently afflicting her family. At the same time, she’s involved in a love triangle with Dol (Ebi Kornelis), a fellow undergraduate and Anggidau (Felix Agus), a man from the same village.
And in case you wondered… Ebi spoke only Malay in the movie :-)
The soundtrack includes the exquisite “Mitongkiad Kito“, and “Upus Tolidang“, tracks off Linda’s self-titled album released August 2008.
Apparently most of the shooting was done at Kg Tombung, Kiulu where the greenery looked so nice it looked like turf grass.
Please support out local moviemakers, purchase the disc.

What did you think of it? The storyline is not bad. I’m particularly impressed with Ebi’s acting as he knows how to work his eye contact, and Linda’s good, too. They need better actors, though. Good try.
Not bad, although honestly I can’t say I’m looking foward to seeing it again. At least one older actor seemed to have problems remembering his lines, and kept saying them r-e-a-l-l-y s-l-o-w-l-y.
To me, the lead actress in “Odoi Odu” bested everybody in “Bambaazon”, including the 3 AF stars.
Dato…so what is the morale of the story in this movie???????????
Truth be told, I missed the ending because it was already well past 2pm and I had to get back to work!!!
