Puteri Gunung Ledang is a Malay film published in 2004 directed by Saw Teong Hin. This film is about the heartbroken romance between Gusti Putri and Hang Tuah. Gusti Putri is a princess with supernatural ability while Hang Tuah is a warrior.
In my opinion, this film show many values. Firstly, the Hang Tuah is very loyal towards his state and the Sultan. Even though the Sultan order go against his will, he will still do it which makes him a loyal and strong mind character. Besides, there are also shown that the relationship between Hang Tuah and Gusti Puteri. Their love face many challenges and still they do not give up on each other. However, at the end of the film Hang Tuah decide to persue his love and betray Sultan after he heard about the curse.Gusti Puteri character is a very strong and smart women. She stated that she will marry Sultan Mahmud if he is able to fulfill the seven prohibitive conditions. It is actually indirectly rejecting the marriages. She also have super ability which kind of similar to WITCHES magic.
Futhermore, the tension between the political parties are similar to the situation Malaysian are facing.
To be honest it was not my first time watching Malay film but I never like them previously. If we were to watch back previous Malay film I feel that it is lacking in quality wise but the story line are still fine.When we watch films, we tend to compare them with those western films. But this film amaze me with its high quality and outstanding story line. Actor and actress potray their character perfectly especially Gusti Puteri. She reminds me of Greek Mathology Goddess Athena. The setting in film are impressive compare to other local films. This explains why the production cost 16million Ringgit.
