Hi Natty! How's it going? Are you having fun waiting around with the others? I think people are getting bored. Anyway, I hope you are keeping safe and healthy. It's another routine day for me over here, doing more of the same old same old. I cooked up some lentil fritters and fried curry noodles for lunch. I wanted something really simple for dinner, so I made teriyaki chicken on white rice. How's about a movie? I think I posted this movie before, but you didn't get to watch it. It's on YouTube so it's free to watch, but it has no subtitles. Don't worry, I'll write up a synopsis for you to help make this movie easier for you to digest. It's called "Sumpah Orang Minyak" (Curse of the Oily Man).
Once upon a time in an ancient Malay village at the turn of the 20th century, there was a deformed hunchback named Si Bongkok, the son of a man who allegedly committed crimes towards the village. As such, he is persecuted by the locals but he makes a friend of a sidewalk dress merchant, who discovers that Si Bongkok has a talent for art and fashion design. Si Bongkok makes another friend of a pretty local girl, who saves him from local thugs. He falls in love with her and tries to deliver to her at a party a portrait he made of her, only to be hounded again by the locals. He escapes the village, and eventually finds himself at the mercy of a magical tribe. They shower him with luxury and women (they said they are to help him because God told them to), and the boss told him to choose a spell out of a magic book that would grant him one wish. He chooses to become beautiful and after the wish is granted, he is told never to kill anyone. He then goes to show himself to the girl he loves, then she gets killed by the head of the local thugs, and he then kills the head of the local thugs. The boss of the magic tribe revokes his gift, and Si Bongkok becomes invisible. He flees into the jungle in shame only to be confronted by the devil, who promises Si Bongkok would regain his beauty if he becomes an Oily Man and assaults a certain amount of women. Si Bongkok agrees, goes on his oily rampage and is eventually caught by the boss of the magical tribe, who imprisons him in a glass jar.
