The Storyteller is gone


Yasmin Ahmad. Sape tak kenal dgn dia? She is one of the best director in Malaysia. All of her masterpiece is valuable and unique. Sepet, Gubra, Rabun, semua pernah menang international awards. Aku pon suke jugak karya Yasmin especially Sepet. Petronas commercial yang idea dia pon aku suke. Everytime dah nak Hari Raya or Hari Merdeka mmg aku slalu tunggu2 iklan Petronas hasil kerja Yasmin. I like Tan Hong Ming commercial the most! But now she is gone and left us wanting for more. People are gonna miss all her unique creative idea.

Compared to other film director, Yasmin is unique. Hasil karya dia pon very unique and lain dari yang lain. Trademark dia ni satu je. Menyatukan all different races in Malaysia which is good. Dalam filem2 dia ni, ada je semua kaum like Malay, Chinese and Indian. For example in Sepet, Orked a malay girl fall in love with a chinese guy. Dalam cerite Tale n Time pon Yasmin x fokus pada kaum melayu cuz involved sekali family India. Iklan2 Petronas pon Yasmin mengetengahkan semua kaum equally. Sapa lagi film director yang buat mcm tu? She used to said that everyone deserve to be treated equally. This is the medium how to teach people. She believed that media is a medium to teach people how to be man again.

Filem2 dia penuh dengan message and moral values and also cultures. Filem dia simple je and truly shows the reality of Malaysia. Pelakon2 yang dia pilih pon muka2 biase. Setengah director filem tu nak muka pan asian je cuz nak drama laku. Buat ape kan? When i watched Yasmin's films and ads, aku bole tau yang ini karya orang melayu and orang Malaysia.Cause most of filem melayu sekarang dah kurang menggambarkan realiti Malaysia atau realiti melayu.

Aku mmg x minat filem2 Razak Mohaideen. For me, his film is nothing and i think dia buat filem is just for the money. Not because of his passion and just see the result. Filem dia penuh dgn pelakon yang langsung dont know how to act but they are choosen because they are famous. For example filem2 dia penuh dgn bintang2 Akademi Fantasia yang x reti berlakon. I've seen a few of his film and i have no idea what was he thinking. Banyak lagi pelakon yang bagus but why nak kutip Akademi Fantasia plak? because he want his film to be box office and he couldnt care less about the quality of the film.

Banyak pengiat seni yang mengkritik hasil kerja Yasmin yang kononnye terlalu open about bende2 yang sensitif. Bile aku fikir balik ade la a few things yang for me agak open. Tapi kalau sampai nak haramkan filem dia tu aku rase dah melebih la. Until now i havent watch filem Muallaf and i heard that it is good. Its a big lost to the industry. What happen next bile one of the best director is gone? She is the storyteller. She is truly something. The truth is im gonna miss her brilliant work. For those who want to involve in the industry, Yasmin is the best role model. In fact i also looked up to her. Gone too soon.
