| description | Spanning across a duration of 25 years, the Golden Age of Singaporean films saw the production of hundreds of Malay films, of which many of them are still known and loved today. P.Ramlee soon became Shaw Studio’s golden boy, winning numerous prestigious awards and ultimately making himself a household name. Various scholars have also debated on the degree of realism used in his films of which he frequently uses to comment and critique society and the social norms of the Malay community. With the increased movement of women into urbanised areas, women started organising themselves into women’s organisations to safeguard their interests and their welfare. Thus, this thesis aims to analyse the possibility of which that the female characters in his work has been inspired by the rising women’s movement in Singapore in the 1940s to the 1960s, especially in Bujang Lapok (1957), Seniman Bujang Lapok (1961), and Madu Tiga (1964). |
