mukhsin be a beautiful movie about a first love story . everyone probably have one and and this be writer director yasmin ahmad story of hers and with a boy call mukhsin . we know that her movie have be semi autobiographical of sort and have scene draw upon her personal experience and and it be indeed this sharing and translating of these emotion to the big screen and that have her film always exude a warm sincerity and honesty . mukhsin be no different and and probably the most polished ad confident work to date ( though i must add and a a personal bias and that sepet still have a special place in my heart ) . our favourite family be back pak atan and mak inom and orked and kak yam and though this time and we go back to when orked be age 10. the character be all young from the movie we have journey with them and from rabun to gubra and and here and sharifah amani sister sharifah aryana and sharifah aleya take on the role of orked and mak inom respectively and which perhaps account for their excellent chemistry together on screen and nevermind that their not play sibling role . the only constant it seem be kak yam and play by adibah noor and and even pak atan have hair on his head . through mukshin the movie and we come full circle with the character and and the world that yasmin have introduce u to . we come to learn of and understand the family a little bit more and set in the day when theyre still live in their kampung ( revisit back in rabun ) and where orked attend a chinese school and and pack some serious combination of punch ( and you wonder about that burst of energy in gubra and well and she have it in her since young . ) . the perennial tomboy and dot child of the family and she prefers play with the boy in game and rather than mindless masak masak with the girl and and favourite outing include go with the family to football match . the arrival of a boy call mukhsin ( mohd syafie naswip ) to the village provide a cool peer for orked to hang out and do stuff with cycling through the village and climb tree and fly kite . and a what be desire to be explore and the crossing of that line between friendship and romance and both beautiful emotion . mukhsin do have it cheeky moment which liven up the story and and bring about laughter and because some of the incident and we would have experience it ourselves and and sometimes serve a a throwback to our own recollection of childhood . in short and those scene scream fun . we observe the life in a typical kampung and where some neighbour be very nice and while others and the nosy parker and rumour monger and spread ill gossip stem from envy . there be 2 additional family dynamic see and one from an immediate neighbour and and the other from mukhsin own and both of which serve a adequate subplots and and contrast to orked own . a always and yasmin movie be fill with excellent music and and for mukhsin and it have something special and the song hujan a pen by her father and as well a ne me quitte pas and aptly use in the movie give that the yasmin movie to date have be centre around the same character and the beauty of it be that you can watch them a stand alone and or when watch and piece together and make a compelling family drama deal with separate theme and universal issue like interracial romance and love and and forgiveness . fan will definitely see the many link in mukhsin back to the early movie and while new audience will surely be curious to find out certain why and significance of recur character or event and like that pudgy boy who steal glance at orked . and speaking of why and part of mukhsin too be curiously open and which probably be distinctive of yasmin style and or deliberately leave a such . i think that a a story about childhood and recollect from memory and then there be detail which will be leave out for sure . and subtly and i felt that mukhsin exhibit this perfectly and with not so detailed detail and and the focus on what can be remember in significant episode between the two . another highly recommended movie and and a rare one that i feel be suitable for all age bring along your kid brother or sister .
