Notting Hill Versi Melayu

I must have nothing better to do if I blog twice a day. I've just watched the Malay version of Notting Hill. It's titled Earl Grey & Kopi Kampung. I was switching channel all the time actually and wouldn't notice it if not for the translated dialogue...

ANNA: The fame thing isn't really real, you know. Don't forget -- I'm also just a girl. Standing in front of a boy. Asking him to love her. Pause. She kisses him on the cheek.

Deanna Yusof plays Rita the actress, and Eman Manan plays Buang who operates a rest house or some kind of B&B in Baling.

In the Malay version, Rita hugs the hesitant hero after making that speech. My jaw was hanging wide open when I realize this is Notting Hill (Malay version). Wish I had watched it in full than I can make more comments hehehe...
