Mat Polish
Come, lets glorify a "warrior" who ran and hide away for years after his failure to attack the British.
His plan was thwarted by the ones who are comfortable with the Brits.
Q - why Mat Polish decide to go against the Brits?
A - "oppression" and unfair "tax" crap imposed.
never mind, forget about the context - lets feed the audience with silat moves, tanjak and keris and what not. Rub their sleepy mind with repetitious dialogues unto their simplistic mindsets and most importantly offer them a space to claim, shout about their sense of belonging.
( Director Syamsul Yusof hopes Mat Kilau will install a can-do spirit among Malays, costing which cost about RM8 million, motivated him to further elevate the Malay "film industry" )
offer the distressed spirits of the B40 an escape.
so after years hiding, using a "nationalistic" alias MAT SIAM, not MAT MALAYA, he appeared again, welcome and celebrated as a rebel.
just like how rich kids educated abroad, took their time off to show their nationalism by demonstrating against the government.
