Singapore Dreaming may not be the mythical "definitive Singapore film" (whatever that means), not as easily classifiable as Jack Neo's oeuvre nor as potentially internationally-marketable as some other Singaporean directors' work, but it has a sincerity and familiarity which has been notably missing from recent local offerings.

Its leitmotif is

took the songs, thank you! so fma is considered steampunk? o_o

( the techno remix-y thing! ahahaha *dead*. )

According to a short column by Stephanie Tan in Friday's (or perhape it was Saturday's) Life!section on anti-heroes (Roy Mustang being one), FMA is a "steampunk anime".
*Very* loose use of the term nowadays, it seems >_>

(I know! Almost fell off my chair with glee when the pulsating thump-beats started XD.
I've heard this song before sporadically, but never knew the lyrics -though apparently Hokkien was all I could speak and understand until the age of almost three.)

Have you or are you planning to watch Singapore Dreaming?

-is- fma supposed to take place in some alternate version of earth? >_. ( also, am not sure roy would be the best example of an antihero, but then again i remember little from fma. )

( wow. i am hopeless at dialects, alas, being of the can-understand-cannot-speak type. )

am definitely planning to watch singapore dreaming -- just a matter of when. ^^; on the last day of prelims, perhaps.

FMA is apparently supposed to be set in a mirror of our own world - for instance, Ed passes through the Gate into London (being bombed with zeppelins) and later into Munich (which has rockets). But either way neither Ed's world nor the one which more closely resembles ours is a perfect fit to historical events. Perhaps they could both be alternate timelines.

(the writer's justification was that he has a dark past and is amoral - which again is playing fast and loose with definitions. Steampunk would be a more accurate description of the FMA movie. her other examples were the Count of MC from Gankutsuou, Asakura Hao from Shaman King, and Kougaiji from Saiyuki Reload, but i can't comment since dunno about any of them.)

(i find dialects very useful for work, ordering food and epithets watching local movies and theatre :D)

One of my top 5 movies of 2006 ^_^

Snakes on a Plane is, naturally, on both my top 10 and bottom 10 lists XD
