Selamat Hari Raya!

I’m not bothering with a randomly generated graphic or a stock photo or whatever. This year’s Ramadan, is actually quite a wild ride.

Internationally, the world is… Well, you can read the news. Or maybe in the future you can’t if the internet is down. No worries, I usually have a hard copy journal too.

Have you watched Scarlet (animated by Studio Chizu)?

I have a bias with pink haired characters, having natural pink hair myself.

It’s a message of hope in these trying times. It says it’s inspired by Hamlet but… It looks like it was inspired by something much more.

I mean, why can’t you choose to be kind to others? Why do you have to be a douche or think only about yourself? Or even worse, step down on others to be on top?

It’s such a specific message of hope.

The animated movie is kind of fitting for hari raya having premiered in selected cinemas in Singapore on 12 March. I saw the trailer and just went off when I could to watch it and went “Oh.”

The imagery and the music.

It’s not as literal as you see, you need to understand it as a whole and our current climate and also think. What is possible?

If you did watch it, tell me what you thought of it.
