God is Fair - Eric Khoo. Discuss

[Joseph12]

So God is still fair
Uncle Eric is so rich
Richer than many much more famous directors I'm sure - NOT the top tier like Spielberg, Nolan etc

But TBF the quality of his work ISN'T good
He can hire top cinematographers or DP but he either didn't or refused to

OK
Putting the technical quality of his films aside , he can basically hire good script writers . Again he didn't or refused to
Some of their scripts, may seem simple but its very very deep.
Eric's stuff isn't

If you are talking about famous Art house directors whether Asian or Europeans , for the former , Uncle Eric loses out to them for sure

And those Film Festival circuits like Cannes love films that basically show the gritty side of society even if its fake but he couldn't or don't know or don't want to do for Singapore

No doubt his product is polished compared to others from Singapore but its still lacking

And I guess he mentors the Boo guy but the Boo guy's 2 films isn't that good too


And to add insult to injury, he's not Singapore's greatest director. That's Jack Neo.
Thats like Aubameyang not being Gabon's greatest footballer but that accolade is given to a Liverpool footballer. So insulting

So God is fair

Who is Eric Khoo?

 

[Joseph12]

Who is Eric Khoo?

Really....

 

[JohannSu1864]

Really....

I only know Adam Khoo. I got a few of his books at home.

 

[Joseph12]

I only know Adam Khoo. I got a few of his books at home.

Uncle Eric was Singapore's most famous director or biggest hope until Jack Neo pipped him to the accolade


Even the Ilo Ilo guy isn't good but the guy is like some Polytechnic graduate and I guess he hustles to find money to make his films
Saw all 3 of his films too. Mmm. Not good

Stop being a joke. Anyone who claim Jack Neo is a better director than Eric Khoo doesn't know movies. Even Mark Lee is much better than Jack Neo.

Sorry. Pardon my ignorance.

 

[Joseph12]

So what is god fair about?

He is so so filthy rich but if you talk about even the few Asian art directors living who are acclaimed , the Koreans are there but he's nowhere in the conversation

With his wealth and brains , he could blow a lot of money to do a few films to basically cement his legacy . Even if its "steroided" & doesn't reflect his real abilities. But he won't or can't

It's like Abramovich
He wanted to buy United or Madrid etc
They said no
So basically he made his own super team
Its temporary but at least its his baby

 

[coldish]

God is fair
PAP is not
Hence PAP is the true god

Wrong

Jack Neo have 2 Cultural Medallions
Thats Cultural Medallions not Chocolate Medallions

Pretty sure Uncle Eric got zero

 

[TheITGuy]

Gu tian le is it

Ya

So him being a director, is it aim.to be just so so or really top tier

 

[106gunner]

Who is Eric Khoo?

Khoo Teck Puat son, brother of Mavis Khoo who is married to Oei family

Both Khoo & Oei family is wealthy and well connected

 

[106gunner]

Ya

So him being a director, is it aim.to be just so so or really top tier

I think he work for passion & past time

He doesn’t even need the money, unlike Jack Neo & other movie directors
