Just Follow Law - 我在政府部门工作的日子

Another movie by Jack Neo (after I not stupid 2).

This one makes fun with the government policy, mainly for people following the rules without flexibility. Jokes like order/request needed to be 'black and white' (email), either follow or not follow the rules will be punished (the Indian guard) are making laugh with the audience as they face similar situations/cultures as working/dealing in/with a big company.

Many golden verses were heard from the movie which I hardly jogged down. Sometimes I found the movie was full of subtitles and these little hints which might distract the audience view on the screen...

The trick of exchanging body was not new, it was there for turning the movie into more dramatic and comical, and surely unreal so that the movie could continue in breaking the rules. Without this dramatic element, the story could still continue in another realistic way I supposed...?!

Relationship, at work, friends and family all need to be maintained in a proper manner. These are the touching points of the movie that the director would like to high-light.

Acting as an opposite sex, for sure is always a challenge to the actors. These are beautifully dealed with by the main leading actors: Fann Wong and Gurmit Singh.

"Breaking rules is needed situationally." The culture, rules and things will still be there with meaning behind for sure. Continue self-analysis and individual thinking is needed for this challenging era. Where else the poor story of the Indian guard will continue again and again....

Do the right things at the right time, we called this wisdom.
