Authorship - U Wei Haji Shaari (Kaki Bakar & Jogho)



Synopsis.
Kaki bakar talks about the tale of the Father a Javanese who teaches his son of being loyal. He was an arsonist because of the disgust he felt towards the society and the ones who betrayed him.

Jogho is a about Mamat as a small time politician in his area Kelantan and he tried to raise a family on his own at southern Thailand. He also good in rearing bulls for bull fights,in one of the bull fights his friend Mat Lazim was killed. Now, he destined to find out and take revenge on what has done.


Authorship on U-Wei Haji Saari.
In both of the films I've seen I realized that U-Wei has emphasized on authentic masculinity and the values of honor and loyalty. In Kaki Bakar, he had shown the relationship between the father and son. By obeying the father's teaching, the son had helped the father in being an arsonist of burning down who had betrayed his trust. On the other hand, in Jogho. He had shown Mamat in hunting of the man who killed his friend, Mat Lazim.

Basically, in the set of the films are always talking about immigrants who stayed in our country Malaysia but not to forget their roots from they came from. Like in Kaki Bakar, the father often stressed towards how a Javanese's qualities he should have and how to be a man in steel. In Jogho, he portrayed the character Mamat in a very confident man. Explaining the authentic masculinity of a man and how to be a honorable man in life.
