Puteri Gunung Ledang





Puteri Gunung Ledang is a legendary Malayia local movie in 2004 based on the Legend of Puteri Gunung Ledang, a Malay legend about a Princess who lived on top of Gunung Ledang and a Malaccan Sultan's effort to court her.

The storyline is unexpected. At the begnning od the movie, there's some controversy shows between loyalty and sacrifice. The Tuah-Jebat conflict captures the tension between loyalty to the state(authority) and loyalty to friendship. Hang tuah has to follow the instructions that giving by Sultan even though he is not willing to do so. It relates to the tension of loyalty in real Malaysian history. In history, Malaysian has to follow and show loyalty to British government before Malaysia independent.( The time during British was authoring Malaysia.)

This movie is too long for me. An the middle of the movie is boring and I almost out of focus for a few times. However, at the end it's quite sad and romantic for me. 

In a nutshell, I like PGL and it is a good and worth to watch movie although it's a bit lengthy and draggy. To be honest, I don't like any Malay movie before PGL. So I would recommend this movie to my friends and family.
