Video clip review - The Funeral


Reflection after watching the video clip.

Why mixed race couple?

Well,mixed race couple is to highlight that not only people of the same race can
turned out to be loving couples. Many couples in this world of different races can be
very loving too. Also,this also represent Singapore, a multi-racial country. Also, by using mixed
race couple in this video clips,it would seem more extraordinary and unique than
any other normal funerals held.

Why she concentrated on the bad traits?

As usual,being a director wants his/her production to be the most outstanding and attractive
among the rest. In many funerals we see,people would usually concentrates on it's good traits.
Nobody would like to mention some bad about the person that have passed away.

In this special clip,this lady in her 40s,focus on her husband's bad characteristic,Snoring really loud when sleeping. To many people,this characteristic might seems to be very annoying and irritating. However,this
characteristics seems so beautiful to her,so special to her. To her,this is an resemblance to show that her husband is still alive.

"In the end,it was this little things that you remember, the little imperfection that make them perfect for you."

Do you think it's effective in this way to promote family values?

Yes,it does! Instead of stating documentaries and giving out brouchers on promoting family
values, this is definitely a more interesting way to present it. This video would actually captures people's attention because of the 2 main reasons. Firstly,the director is using mixed race couple instead of normal malay to malay or chinese-to-chinese couples. Secondly,during the funeral,Mrs Lee only concentrated on her husband's bad traits.

I'm actually touched by how Mrs Lee describe her husband as.
Through this video,I've sensed that love this definitely not restricted by different races.
This video clips also reminds me to start loving and treasuring people around me - without judging them because of their bad habits.
