Ah Boys To Men

Singapore director Jack Neo’s latest offering “Ah Boys to Men” traces the journey of spoilt teenager Ken Chow (Joshua Tan) as he goes through his Basic Military Training (BMT) in the army, and forms deep bonds with his colourful fellow recruits along the way.

The coming-of-age film will bring back a lot of memories for the generations of Singaporean men who have completed their National Service.

It covers many of the most memorable aspects of BMT like the loud, abusive instructors who scream expletives at the recruits, the key training activities like the long route marches and the dreaded “Stand By Bed” inspection where every inch of a recruit’s bunk is scrutinised by the instructors for cleanliness, with pushups and tongue-lashings the punishment for those who fail it.

However, what sets “Ah Boys to Men” apart from similarly-themed films is Neo’s exploration of the many perennial issues recruits and their loved ones face while in BMT, through the exploits of the film’s characters.

When Chow gets an injury over the course of his training, Neo not only considers Chow’s thoughts on the matter, but also puts a spotlight on his parents and what goes through their mind, when training accidents happen.

Through Chow’s break up with his girlfriend, Neo also looks at the fallout that follows when recruits lose their girlfriends because they can longer spend much time with them.

To his credit, Neo manages to keep the mood relatively light throughout “Ah Boys to Men” with generous doses of humour, even though it contains some thought-provoking themes, and wraps everything up into an enjoyable package which resonates with viewers of both genders.

Still, “Ah Boys to Men” is not without its flaws. Sell, sell sell

While it showcases Neo’s knack for building a rapport with his audience, “Ah Boys to Men” also shows Neo’s awkward handling of product placement.

Yes, the ubiquitous product placements are back!

From barbequed pork to auditing services, Neo’s new film plugs them all.

One particularly jarring sequence springs to mind.

Chow is standing on a bridge in the rain after his girlfriend breaks up with him and rides off in another man’s car.

Suddenly, three cyclists in raincoats emblazoned with the name of one of the film’s sponsors come along, tell him not to be too upset, and give him an identical raincoat.

The rather strange scene ends with Chow wearing the raincoat and leaving the bridge.

The good news is, unlike his previous film “We Not Naughty”, Neo appears to have put a lot more effort into making them a part of the film’s storyline, though there are still quite a few product placement sequences that simply look out of place.

The characters in “Ah Boys to Men” are also a little under-developed.

While the cast of young actors turn in a good performance, their characters are simply not fleshed out well enough, with some of them stuck as two-dimensional, walking stereotypes throughout the film.

Perhaps the film’s second part, which will hit cinemas during the Lunar New Year period next year, will serve to shed light on their motivations and make them more nuanced characters.“Ah Boys to Men” is now showing.

Synopsis: In commemoration of Singapore’s 45^th year of National Service, renowned homegrown director Jack Neo returns with a S$3million production – Ah Boys To Men. The movie stars local veteran actor Richard Low, well-known actress/comedienne Irene Ang, celebrated musician Roy Li and actors Wang Lei and Jacky. On top of these familiar faces, Jack Neo also introduces fresh faces to the cast lineup, including famous bloggers Mr Brown, Qiu QIu and Tosh. In conjunction with the NS45 campaign “From Fathers To Sons”, the movie shares how youngsters now step out of their comfort zone and learn the importance of protecting their country. Ah Boys To Men is sure to bring back memories for Singaporean men who have previously served National Service and at the same time, interest young boys who have yet to join the army.

Movie Review:

Love it or hate it – National Service (NS) is an indelible part of the Singapore identity, and what better way on this forty-fifth anniversary of NS to celebrate the special place that it has in every Singaporean than to make a movie about it. So Jack Neo has done just that, embarking on his most ambitious (and certainly his most expensive) film ever that attempts to tell an NS story able to resonate with both the younger and the older generation who have been through that life-changing experience.

‘Ah Boys to Men’ is the name of Neo’s film, split into two parts after the filmmaker realised that he just had too much material to fit into one single movie. In this first-parter, Neo largely focuses on overcoming the psychological barrier that accompanies every new recruit’s entry into Basic Military Training (BMT), the barrier of fear, trepidation, reluctance and just general resistance to the sacrifice of freedom and two years of one’s prime teenage years.

The protagonist here is Ken Chow (Joshua Tan), a headstrong and impulsive rich kid who is forced to put his plans to study abroad on hold due to NS commitments. As such, he starts off hating even the thought of NS, and while his father (Liu Qianyi) tries to convince him to think positively about it, his mother (Irene Ang) busies herself trying to find ways for her son to skip NS – even going to the extent of approaching their Member of Parliament (MP).

To complicate matters further, his plans to go overseas included his girlfriend, who would also be heading overseas for academic reasons. Yet as the Government would have it, his application for deferment is denied, leaving him Tekong-bound in body but certainly not in spirit. Ditto for his fellow enlistees ‘Lobang’ (Wang Weiliang) and ‘I P Man’ (Noah Yap), the former a particularly resourceful and enterprising buddy who sells charged spare handphone batteries to his section mates.

With generous support from Mindef, Neo accurately chronicles the baptism of fire of a BMT recruit in Pulau Tekong, especially in acclimatising to regimen and authority. Besides the morning revelry and the stand-by beds, there’s also the physical training in terms of IPPT, Standard Obstacle Course (SOC) and route marches. Rather than build too much plot into these scenes, Neo wisely keeps them simple by allowing his audience to project themselves into the various onscreen characters and relive their own BMT experiences.

Not only that, Neo also allows his audience to identify the various archetypes in NS – the ‘chao keng’ kings (i.e. Ken and Lobang), the over-achiever/ bootlicker (represented here by a certain bespectacled Aloysius Jin played by Maxi Lim) and the stern platoon sergeant (in the form of Second Sergeant Ong played by Tosh Zhang) – as well as the unique NS trademarks of singing, marching and water-parading. Part of the reason why the movie proves surprising entertaining is of course how easily anyone who has been through NS will be able to find something familiar and therefore nostalgic.

As one who has gone through a different generation of NS, Neo also observes with a keen eye the differences between NS in the past and the NS of today. The oft-heard line from those who did their NS in the 1970s is how easy recruits have it nowadays, and to illustrate this point, Neo takes the opportunity at certain points in the movie to flash back to how it would have been in the past – and that shrewd calculation easily ensures that his movie speaks also to the generation of males who have served NS in its early days.

For a good part of the movie, plot essentially takes a backseat while Neo dramatizes BMT then and now, but he gets back to it with a melodramatic twist in the last half hour. Thankfully, it is handled with more deftness than you would expect from a Jack Neo treatment (think ‘Money No Enough 2’), and while teetering on the brink of histrionics, it at least achieves its aim of getting its audience to think about the consequences of taking ‘chao keng’ to dangerous heights.

That’s of course a message that Mindef would gladly endorse, and let us warn you beforehand that there will be propagandistic talk glorifying the importance and significance of NS. Kudos to Neo however for ensuring that this movie doesn’t end up as no more than a Mindef mouthpiece, and for the audacity to include some common tongue-in-cheek jokes about the Service – these are particularly funny in Hokkien, and especially so when delivered by native dialect speakers like Wang Lei.

Lei also appears in the movie as Ken’s uncle, but like the other veteran actors, his role is no more than a supporting one. Instead, attention is placed square and centre on the newbies, whom Neo manages to elicit surprisingly convincing performances. The casting is spot on, with the actors easily inhabiting their roles – and most entertaining is Wang Lei’s getai protégé Wang Weiliang, who plays the loutish Lobang with panache. Importantly, the camaraderie amongst the actors is keenly felt, making it easier to buy into their team spirit in the movie.

You’ve probably noticed at this point that we’ve avoided mention of what was the selling point of this movie – the depiction of our island city at war, with iconic destinations such as the Central Business District (CBD) and Marina Bay hit and our HDB heartlands overrun by terrorists. Certainly, those were the money shots, but the ironic thing is how awkwardly they fit into the rest of the movie – no matter Neo’s purpose of trying to educate his audience of the significance of NS.

Those guessing that the sequences are no more than hypothetical scenarios at this point in time are however correct – and while it isn’t a dream like the much-ballyhooed ‘The Best Bet’, the rationale here for their inclusion isn’t any better. Yet ‘Ah Boys to Men’ doesn’t need Hollywood theatrics to stand out as a funny and entertaining ode to NS; on the contrary, all it needs – and what Neo has managed to do – is to tap into its audience’s own NS experiences and to portray them as accurately as possible. You’d laugh, you’d reminisce and you’d leave with a smile on your face knowing that you have been part of a Uniquely Singapore experience – on that account alone, this is a must-see for anyone who’s given up two years or more of their lives to the defense of this country.

A veteran British secret service agent is no match for a bunch of Singaporean army recruits at the cinemas.
Local director Jack Neo’s army movie Ah Boys To Men has broken local box-office records by earning more than $1.5 million over its opening weekend, in the process beating James Bond movie Skyfall, which was in its second week of release.
The coming-of-age film about youths going through through national service took $1,509,422 from last Thursday (Nov 8) to Sunday (Nov 11), giving it the biggest opening weekend ever for a local movie.
With 37 prints in cinemas, it beat the previous record-holder, the 2008 comedy Ah Long Pte Ltd, also directed by Neo, which had made $1,484,000 with 50 prints in its opening weekend over Chinese New Year.

Body and soul

We are now living because we have body and soul. When we die, our body and soul will slowly separated.

Can soul still carry on the next journey? According to some belief, the soul will go heaven or hell.

According to other belief, the soul will carry on either embodied to be animal, ghost, heavenly beings, hell beings,etc.

Someone believe when we die, we will all disappear forever.

To play safe, better do good things.

â€žI work in an office and recently there was these incident.
M y boss came to work all pissed and everything, SHE asked me for a document she i gave her the previous day and I told her she hadnt given it back. After searching for it i found it in a file where someone else kept it. She got mad and aske dwho kept it there,i said i wouldnt know.
In a matter of moments she leapt out of her seat and gave me a dirty slap.
My colleagues were all over me trying to hold me so i don’t retaliate. I felt realy bad cause if it came down to a showdown,i’ll beat the hell out of her.
MY most senior colleague called and asked me not to make a formal report to head office that it’ll get her in trouble.
But everytime i remember the slap,i want to cry because,i’m not a defenceless person but now i can’t help it.â€

Now, what would you do in her shoes? hmm..?

This sounds weird, but people used to pay me $5-10 to slap me as hard as they could at parties because I know how to take it without showing any reaction whatsoever…. no flinching, no eye-watering, nothing. I can ignore the pain. I didn’t necessarily like being slapped, but when they were about to do it, I would tell myself that pain is nothing more than just another feeling, just like pleasure. Then after they finished the slap, I would have more $, so it was all good.

AndrewGCarson You may need a step ladder to slap me and if you did it would be a very big mistake. The last person to hit me in the face ended up with a broken orbital bone, it was in a pub when I was eighteen a guy tried to touch up my then girlfriend and when I told him to get lost he punched me in the face but as I had been drinking Whiskey for the last seven hours I didn’t realise he had hit me at first until he tried a second time then I headbutted him in retaliation. I felt it the next day though, big bruise on my chin but I heard from a friend of mine who was working as a porter at the hospital that the guy suffered a fractured orbital bone above his right eye, I felt bad for the guy but my girlfriend said he deserved it.

UncleBeau I’d say, “If you’d like to slap something new, avoid the ham. I already took care of that 15 minutes ago.”

Plus you’d have to yell, “THIS IS GIRLY SPARTA!!! while you do it.

Baghad’s incident

Posted: October 25, 2009 | Author: coolingstar9 | Filed under: Bagdad incident | Leave a comment »

BAGHDAD, Iraq – Two suicide car bombs exploded in downtown Baghdad Sunday, at least 136 people were killed. It shows that the security still need to be enhanced further. It shows that the insurgency’ has the abilities to carry out such a cruel act.

People could see black smoke billowing from the horrible scene, as emergency service vehicles sped to the area. Civilian cars were being mobilized to send the wounded to hospitals.

The walls of the building collapsed and people had to rush out hurriedly. The provincial administration, which was targeted by one of the car bombs. Many innocent victims were pulling out of the rubble, and rushing them to ambulances.”

The car bombs, which targeted the Justice Ministry and the Baghdad provincial administration, come as Iraq is preparing for elections scheduled this January, and many Iraqi officials have warned that violence by insurgents intent destabilizing the country could rise.

There have been no claims of responsibility so far, but massive car bombs have been the hallmark of the Sunni insurgents seeking to overthrow the country’s Shiite-dominated government.

At least 25 staff members of the Baghdad Provincial Council, which runs the city, were killed in the bombing, said council member Mohammed al-Rubaiey.

The area where the blasts occurred is just a few hundred yards from the Green Zone that houses the U.S. Embassy as well as the prime minister’s offices. The street where the blasts occurred had just been reopened to vehicle traffic a few months ago, in what was supposed to be a sign that safety was returning to the once devastated city.

The devastating attacks occurred just hours before Iraq’s top leadership was scheduled to meet with heads of political parties on Sunday and reach a compromise on the disputed election law ahead of a crucial parliamentary vote in January.

The explosive-laden vehicles were sitting in parking garages next to the two government building, police said.

“They are targeting the government and the political process in the country,” Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Mousawi, spokesman for the city’s operations command center, told The Associated Press. He said the blasts were the work of suicide bombers who drove the vehicles into the parking lots, before blowing them up.

The blasts, which surpassed coordinated attacks against two government ministries in August that killed more than 100 people, appeared to be a blow to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki who has staked his reputation and re-election hopes on returning security to the country.

Al-Maliki toured the blast sites later in the day.

Sunday’s explosions also injured nearly 600 people who were taken to six area hospitals. Medical officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media, gave the death toll.

Video images captured on a cell phone showed the second blast going off in a massive ball of flames, followed by a burst of machine gun fire.

“This is a political struggle, the price of which we are paying,” said provincial council member al-Rubaiey. “Every politician is responsible and even the government is responsible, as well as security leaders.”

Three American security contractors, working for the U.S. embassy in Baghdad were injured in the blasts, but no American embassy personnel were killed, said Philip Frayne, an embassy spokesman. Frayne could not immediately provide details about who the contractors were escorting to the site, which company they worked for or, or the nature of their injuries.

The explosions were just a few hundred yards from Iraq’s Foreign Ministry which is still rebuilding after massive bombings there in August. The bombings were a devastating blow for a country that has seen a dramatic drop in violence since the height of the sectarian fighting in 2006 and 2007.
