"With Mukhsin, I try to examine one common and uncomfortable human experience - what happens when your very best friend, someone with whom you've been learning to do cool best-friend things like climbing trees, flying kites, riding bicycles, and even getting into fights with other kids, starts to develop romantic notions about you," Yasmin explained on her blog.

There is one particular scene in the poignant coming-of-age drama, in which Orked runs after Mukhsin after reading a note scribbled by the boy on a kite (Yasmin had refused to disclose its contents, saying that she told Mohd Syafie to express his whole feelings to Aryana through writing). What did it say?

"Oh, that's a secret..." she said with a smile.

The Orked in Mukhsin is the younger Orked we see in Sepet. The younger Jason from Sepet is also in Mukhsin.

jason is malay ???
huhuhu havnt watch yet..

No, Jason is not a Malay, but he is a Muslim since he's married to Orked in Gubra. If u want to know, go watch the movie

Rabun + Sepet + Gubra + Mukhsin = Mukhsin

i hope this movie is just good clean fun to watch. yasmin ahmad seems to rely on controversial matters too much. plus, sepet was good, but it was so overrated. haven't watched gubra yet, but i hope mukhsin is a lot better.

We SHOULD watch this in the cinema - at the very least - to support our local movie makers like Yasmin.

I intend to buy the DVD when its released (IF its released).

No, Jason is not a Malay, but he is a Muslim since he's married to Orked in Gubra. If u want to know, go watch the movie

Rabun + Sepet + Gubra + Mukhsin = Mukhsin

next 3 months or less it will be shown on astro.. just like Cicakman.. coming soon on astro..

huh? when did orked marry jason? he's dead!

she married another guy (played by adlin aman ramli) in gubra.

It'll definitely be played during the primetime on Hari Raya, just like Sepet and Gubra before it.

Oh man, you should've stayed for Gubra till after the credits finished rolling. The most beautiful scene in Gubra, the reason why Ng Choo Seong's name is on the poster. The cinema staff should tell the audience lah...sad. Pay attention to their fingers if u were to watch it again.� Jason really did died if u look at the timeline of all 4 movies. Yes, not 3 movies, but 4 movies about the Orked family.

I stayed till the credits finish rolling for Mukhsin as well. But no extra, FYI.

what u mean by "The most beautiful scene in Gubra, the reason why Ng Choo Seong's name is on the poster "

is it explicit one ?

hopefully this movie will not create controversy like gubra.

'Mukhsin' bukan budaya Melayu Islam

PENAYANGAN filem keluaran terbaru Yasmin Ahmad iaitu 'Mukhsin' baru-baru ini memaparkan kehidupan masyarakat kampung terutama Melayu Islam wajar dikaji semula kerana ia tidak membawakan ciri-ciri kehidupan sebenar masyarakat Melayu Islam di Malaysia, terutama masyarakat kampung.

Tindakan ibu bapa di dalam cerita berkenaan yang membenarkan anak gadis mereka keluar bersama-sama seorang budak lelaki dalam keadaan berdua-duaan menimbulkan persepsi dan kesan kepada ibu bapa dan golongan remaja khususnya.

Di dalam filem berkenaan, budak perempuan yang berusia 10 tahun dan budak lelaki berumur 12 tahun di mana kedua-duanya menghampiri waktu akli baligh boleh menjuruskan kepada masalah lebih besar iaitu masalah sosial.

Cerita itu juga memaparkan kisah percintaan pada usia remaja. Keadaan ini menyebabkan golongan remaja khususnya kanak-kanak merasakan percintaan pada usia muda ini dibolehkan. Ia sama sekali tidak selari dengan pendidikan akhlak masyarakat Timur. Islam turut menyebut di mana usia seawal satu hingga 12 tahun adalah usia untuk ibu bapa mendidik anak dengan akhlak terpuji bukan dengan membenarkan mereka bergaul bebas antara lelaki dan perempuan berdua-duaan dalam keadaan sunyi dan terpencil.

Saban hari kita mendengar berita masalah sosial seperti seks luar nikah, pembuangan bayi dan sebagainya. Dalam kenyataan Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, pada 9 Mac lalu mengenai kepentingan golongan lelaki harus dihukum sama dalam isu pembuangan bayi, beliau mengatakan 'kita amat menyokong saranan Ketua Polis Negara yang mahu undang-undang dikaji semula untuk memastikan golongan lelaki yang terbabit dalam kes itu turut dipenjara'.

Ini jelas membuktikan masalah sosial seperti buang bayi semakin meningkat di negara ini dan golongan terbabit adalah remaja.

Adakah filem ini menggambarkan ciri dan budaya sebenar masyarakat Timur? Wajarkah kita mengikut gaya hidup kebanyakan masyarakat Barat yang membenarkan anak mereka bergaul bebas lelaki dan perempuan?

Justeru, Persatuan Kebangsaan Pelajar Islam Malaysia (PKPIM) terpanggil untuk menyuarakan pandangan disebabkan masalah sosial kini semakin kritikal dan mencadangkan supaya penayangan filem 'Mukhsin' dikaji semula.

KHAIRUL ANUAR MUSA,
Persatuan Kebangsaan Pelajar Islam Malaysia.

cow man... you're making me confused! 4 movies? rabun's about orked's family meh?

sorry to rain on ur parade brother, that's orked's fantasy. the same with jason's voice at the end of sepet.

Too late 

hello. i want to know. is it possible to change your furniture every six months? this is cool idea.

i want to know what did EXACTLY the girl at the snooker centre whispered to mukhsin's brother. i find it quite offensive.

Too late 

Too much unneccesary scenes and most of the scene no dialogue involved

"Mukhsin" is the final part of the director's trilogy about Orked and her family. I am so taken by "Mukhsin" that I'm going to hunt down the two previous movies.
