movie review: Aku masih dara.

hello fellow readers, I am back this time with a movie review based on my personal judgement.

Indeed, this movie surprised me again when a non-muslim has successfully produced a religious movie that is well written, versed and researched. I do wonder sometimes why the muslim film producer could never come up with a good storyline such as those religous movie produced by David Teo? Let's not criticise the other film producers for the time being shall we?

David Teo has once again successfully touched the heart of the viewers through the production of "aku Masih dara" film. Once again without fail, his film has played around with the viewer's emotions. The script was beautifully constructed especially for the cast of "Firdaus" and the character was also portrayed wonderfully.

Aku masih Dara is a portrayal of the modern malay-muslim society. There are several parts of the script and scenes that intrigued me such as:
1- Hani to Alisha: " these days people use the headscarves to cover their love bites"

2- the scenario where losing a virginity is no longer a matter of shame.

3- the scene when a cousin who is pious, is willing to sacrifice his life to be the "scape goat" a.k.a pak sanggup just to save his cousin in the name of religion. I mean, how many would want to do such thing and carry the burden?

well, it's a matter of my own point of view where i find this movie an interesting and must watch film for this December. If you loved "syurga Cinta" then i think you will love this one too.

Now the downside of this film is the overuse of Farid Kamil. I understood that he is among one of the in demand actor for this year, but seriously his face is too saturated in the film world. His character is Cliche to most of the films that he acted in, hence I believe that the character "zachery" in this film should be hold by other actor who has never portrayed himself as a Bastard. Then that would make things more interesting to watch.

the portrayal of hani's parent in this movie is too weak. The mother lacked in facial expression and her intonations are all wrong. I am also disappointed with Rahim jailani..he is a good actor but he killed himself in this movie. Even though he has like 4-6 scenes in this film, but at least he could've made it more believable. it was very disappointing coming from an experienced actor.

all and all, I recommend everyone to watch this as and try to "selami" the values they are trying to spread through this movie.
