Sure, the sounds are a little off and the whole movie is in black and white but behind all those rough edges you would find that it is a devotion to the true malaysian lifestyle. Post war- where malaysians were proud to be malaysians and no community boundaries exist. Ramlee is without doubt the pinnacle that had brought rise to the then budding entertainment industry in malaysia.
a witty sense of humour, sensational voice and the uncanny ability to captivate viewers, ramli puteh (birth name) found his way to the hearts of many people. He, unlike most modern celebrities who had the vulgar to call themselves singers, sang without the help of computer alterations and still managed to produce music that reaches to those who really listened.
i would fondly remember those days when i was young and still lived with my grandmother. Whether she is cleaning the tables or sweeping the porch, she can often be found dancing lightly and singing, humming to the tunes immortalised by the late legend himself.
It is a great loss to the nation that such a talent should return to the divine at a young age of 44. god be with him.
