Waris Jari Hantu (Ghost Finger Heir :)

What I loved most: The soundtrack

What I really hated: The guardian tiger - could be better using advance CG

Based on local folkfore of "Rimau Datuk" (a guardian spirit in the form of tiger), the film is about Tok Wan Rimau who is looking for a female heir to be the next custodian of the tiger spirit. Tok Wan would like her granddaughter Tina to be the next heir of the tiger spirit though her family wasn't agree with this. Tina, meanwhile is madly in love with her cousin Ari eventhough he is an effiminate sissy guy. Ari then moved to Singapore and returned back as Arina after a sex change operation. Though devastated, Tina finaly accepted the facts that the man that she loves is now a woman. Arina, on the other hand, is willing to replace Tina as the female heir for Tok Wan's tiger spirit. Despite the "jari hantu" (literally ghost finger) title, this is not a horror movie. The jari hantu here is in reference to the middle finger as what it is called in Malay. This mystical film is more about unconditional loves and family values - something that make you ponder how far you will go to sacrifice for someone that you love? The theme songs and soundtrack of this movie are also memorable, really capture the mood.

What I loved most: The plot

What I really hated: Nothing

I really love the plot. The "unconditional love" portrayed in this movie is different and captured beautifully. The actors and actresses are excellent in playing their parts. The director is a genius in playing with human's emotions... I haven't cried this much since Kabhie Kushie Kabhie Gham. :P It's an excellent movie. If you're expecting a ghost story, you'd be disappointed... BUT... if you want a story that is out of the ordinary, you won't regret watching this movie.
