Hi.
I'm not fond of high school movies or dramas and I can't relate such movies to my current life as I'm no longer a minor who goes to school. But due to the viral of the series, High Council was an exception as I watched the drama and unconsciously liked it. Hence, when Kahar: Kapla High Council was released, I went to watch it at the cinema. Here's my thoughts on this movie;
Summary
High Council was a gang which was a tradition in the school KUDRAT. The movie is based on the life of Kahar, the villain of the drama Project: High Council. It showed how Kahar was once a nice kid and was spoiled to be a brat because of the pressure of bringing his father and brother's legacy which made people didn't even remember to call him by his name. The pressure made the once-a-good kid end up going against his father and brother's will and went array to be the leader of the High Council, the Kapla.
The Plot
I loved the smooth transitions between the current and the past situations of Kahar's life. Even though the flashbacks keep happening in between the plot, they connected so smoothly that I had no trouble understanding the whole story. The movie was very much related to the drama. Hence, it is possible to watch the movie without watching the drama first, but it's better if you watch the drama first.
The Characters
This, I must applaud all the actors involved. They played the characters so well, it looks like they're already veteran actors. I believe the emotions reached the audience the way they intended, especially the bond between the brothers in the first half of the movie and at the end of it. At first, I was skeptical about the two actors, Aedy Asyraf and Amir Ahnaf, playing brothers but they exceeded my expectations.
The Cinematography
I found that I love this kind of colour in a movie. It gave warmth, but dark at the same time which is possible for every kind of scene. I also loved the scenes where the view of certain places took place. It showed beautiful scenery. While the fight scenes were great they didn't make me dizzy like certain fight scenes in movies.
Overall rating: 8/10 ⭐
Have you watched Kahar: Kapla High Council yet?
Till then,
Lya
