It is a movie that pays tribute to the unknown heroes, with their untold stories without our awareness. The storyline goes around the untold difficult moments that frontliners were facing during the Covid 19 pandemic. Their challenges, stress, sacrifices and moments of despair are all shown to let you feel them.
The pace is great! There is a good mix of the scenes from the 5 different frontliners to keep the momentum going! Each brings a new challenge in his/her duty!
Of all, I love the Indian lady - Santhia - the best! I felt her very much! I am NOT surprised that we did have many 'Santhiasss' in real life, who faced marital, family, financial issues during that difficult moment, yet she shall stay strong to live on!
I was in tears in many parts of the movie! The human and emotional value touches all hearts! You will see that all Malaysians, regardless of race, are helping each other during this difficult time!
Some of the incidents in the movie are real, e.g. The traffic incident that sacrificed a life of a police officer during a roadblock; and the serious accident that involved many cars (even during MCO). In the movie, again, you feel the extra burdens from the frontliners (especially medical staff) due to our ignorant behaviors!
The few pitfalls that I picked up are: Firstly, perhaps the young Chinese actor is rather inexperienced in acting, he did not carry his role well. Secondly, as there are too many sub-stories of the frontliners in the movie, it lacks the depth that could have left a more meaningful impact on the audiences, although overall it's good enough!
It's definitely a movie that all Malaysians shall watch to appreciate what the frontliners have done for us, during that difficult moment. From the movie, you will understand that "staying at home" is the BEST help to all frontliners, yet many of us were still running around for the sake of boredom or fun! Good respect and salute to all frontliners! Thank you, frontliners! Thank you, Malaysia!
Buy your ticket on this Malaysia Day (916), and be proud of all Malaysians for walking through the difficult times over the last 2 years!
