Bali Hai (2025)

an odd tourism ad (watch suggestions)

Overall: I would say this was a tourism ad with a paper thin BL plot but I'm not sure 4 people stalking 2 other people is appealing for people thinking of visiting a location...About 40 minutes long, aired on WeTV https://wetv.vip/en/play/ccbor389y01264p-Bali%20Hai/g4100oasloe-EP01%3A%20Bali%20Hai

Content Warnings: stalking, vomiting

Watch Suggestions (takes out the stalking and focuses on the leads)
- watch 5:40-6:35, 12:05-17:15, 22:10-25:25, 27:30-33:50, 37:50-end

What I Liked
- the ocean/beach vistas
- gave some things to do for visitors to the area
- the imagined scenarios

Room For Improvement
- the caricature characters and their stalking
- normally I would praise representation; however, a character being mute felt like a gimmick, we didn't learn anything about him other than he couldn't speak
- did not feel chemistry with the leads
- open ending (if this turns out to be a series, then I'll update this review/rating)

What did i watch?

This was a very weird short film. The best thing about this film was the music, it was really beautiful.
The story was weird, 5 novelists staking 2 men in a very weird way. And trying to push the story and men into a relationship.
It was also weird that you don't find out anything about te man who can't speak. He writes things down, but what is written down is not shown, so you don't have any idea wat he is saying...

The acting of the leads was ok, the acting of the 5 novelists was very bad!
There was no chemistry between the leads.

I don't recommend watching, it's a waste of your time.
