It was violent…
It was intense…
It was a scene no reporters or photographers were allowed…
It was the rape scene from ‘小娘惹The Little Nyonya’ where emotions ran high… Joanne Peh was raped brutally by actor Zzen while her sister (played by Eelyn Kok) who saw it did nothing to save her from his savage attack…
Yet, I saw it ‘LIVE’ on my television set which beamed the scene straight from the studio where it was shot…
Pew…it really wasn’t an easy scene for Joanne Peh. She had to do it for a few takes and tears were already flowing down naturally. It wasn’t one of those ‘touch and go’ scenes but real intensive rape sequence… She was quite professional about the whole sequence, following the director’s instruction and repeating the brutal sequence for different angles… In my little office room, I could already feel her fear, anger and helplessness in the close up shots of her pair of eyes staring straight at me…(a scene worthy of a Star Award nomination for Joanne).
Likewise for Zzen, it wasn’t easy acting as the rapist. As an actor, he had to emote the savage lust yet professionally he was also in a shoot sequence where any actress could blame him for taking advantage.
So, when you see this scene in November when the drama debuts, you are watching two very fine artistes in their dedication to the work of art….
