How it feels

A Malaysian film that reimagines Shakespeare's Julius Caesar in a 21st century gangster setting. It follows a mob boss named Caesar who is betrayed and assassinated by his subordinates Brutus and Cassius during a power struggle. The dialogue mixes Malay with Kelantanese dialect.

What happens

《流氓》（馬來語：Gedebe）是拍摄于2003年的一部马来西亚数码电影，由南农执导，祖·胡赛米（Zul Huzaimy Marzuki）、毅真迪（Md Ezendy Aziz）、莫哈默·哈里力（Mohammad Hariry Abdul Jalil）等主演。这部电影的灵感来自南农于2001年在吉隆坡实验剧场所制作的一部舞台剧，以莎士比亚的《凯撒大帝》为参照蓝本，只是把故事的时空搬到了21世纪的马来西亚。电影讲述在一个流氓集团的权力斗争中，掌权人凯撒如何被其部下布鲁图和卡西乌斯合谋暗杀。这部电影不只是用马来语呈现莎翁的故事，而且里头参杂了大量的吉兰丹方言，为本土电影中前所未见。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
