Movie With The Stars
January 29th 2008 -
Three (3) weekends ago, I was invited to watch Jarum Halus with the New Community members along with Kenny Sia and Christien New himself. It was a pretty late minute thing and Christien actually told me about it the date before and I had to make the toughest decision and decided to skip work to join them for movie.
I’m not a critic whatsoever but here is my honest point of view on Jarum Halus…
Jarum Halus is a local production and I must say that they have done a good job in terms of story board and dialogs. The cinematography was good; it did not look amateur work.Throughout the whole movie, I was really frustrated that why couldn’t Daniel (Christien New) and Mona (Juliana Ibrahim) discuss about the problem they had instead they had to live in a lie which it didn’t even exist.
Overall, I must say it was pretty good coming from a local production. Good job, Mark! I managed to meet Mark in person after the movie. He’s very young and talented. Not forgetting, Razif Hashim acting was excellent! He really makes you want to kill him at the end of the movie. Haha… Razif was at YOUTH’08 event and I got to meet him in person. Very awesome guy.

Celine,
Thks for posting Jarum Halus. Fyi, the movie is based on Othello, Shakespeare….. meaning…..the basic part of the story line must be sustain according to how Shakespeare did it. So if u don’t understand why this and that, perhaps some day in heaven you can go ask Shakespeare himself hahahha.

Christien,
Thanks for commenting. Well, I guess I should read Shakespeare’s Othello to understand the the movie better. Haha… But then again, it’s just a movie. The story got to be a little more dramatic else it wouldn’t be as exciting.
PS: Don’t take it too personally. Your acting is really good too, especially the crying scene.
You should teach me how to cry like that.
