RM.

No silly, not Ringgit Malaysia, but Redza Minhat.

Heard about him?

He was the one who acted as Faqir or Fakir or Fakhir (however it was spelt, as if the spelling matters) in our local movie "Pisau Cukur" directed and produced by Lina Tan which was released on 5th November last year. Guess what, I just saw it. Lembab? Sangat lembab!

Truthfully speaking, I am not much of a Malay movie fan except for the ones produced by Afdlin Shauki, the late Yasmin Ahmad and the ones that has Lisa in it. Yes, Lisa Surihani. Only theirs.

Okay tipu. Masa kecik dulu tengok je semua Sembilu movies, Maria & Mariana, Tragedi Oktober, Cinta Kolestrol (ni kat cinema okay haha) Kuliah Cinta dan sebagainya. But after awhile I realized that these movies macam tak ke mana, like they're all stereotyped and very predictable so I stopped. The last one I watched was probably I'm Not Single. See, sebab nak support my dearest Lisa. And she was cute wasn't she? Especially the ngigau sniffing part. Taahaa.

Until November, Pisau Cukur was released. Everyone I know that went to watch, came back and started updating their status on Fb with "Oh my Dior, Louis Vuitton, Prada and Jimmy Choo"s and commenting on how awesome the production of the movie was and of course, how cute RM is. Not 'was'.

Hello Hermes, of course curious like hell. Tak puas hati tak "join the club". Haha.

You see, where I work demands full swing work force especially at the closing of the year. As my Boss said, "You guys multi - multi - multi task..." Precisely correct. In due (diligence kot?) of working, Pisau Cukur became an opportunity cost. After awhile, I completely forgot about it.

Then just recently my stepsister in law was joking about it and lent the dvd to Mom. Mom watched it, didn't quite fancy them (perhaps because she couldn't take the gedikness) and passed it to me - asking me to watch because she knows I won't like it judging the fact that I will pass negative comments after watching every Malay movie that I saw.

But guess what? You're wrong this time Mom. I loved the movie and was infatuated with RM's character. Tell me any girl who doesn't? :))) Apparently he's new in this industry but an experienced actor in theatres. He acted as Faqir who according to Pisau Cukur's Official website,

"Faqir merupakan salah seorang penumpang kapal percutian yang dinaiki oleh Intan dan Bella. Dengan tidak disangka-sangka, dia terserempak dengan Bella yang telah diminatinya sejak menonton "Siapa Nak Kahwin Jutawan?". Walaupun Bella langsung tidak berminat dengannya, Faqir cuba sedaya-upaya untuk mendekati Bella dan akhirnya mereka menjadi kawan.Faqir adalah seseorang yang amat berterus-terang, tidak takut untuk meluahkan fikirannya. Sebab itulah, walaupun rasa tertarik dia tetap tidak dapat mengelak dari bergaduh dengan Bella. Faqir langsung tidak bersetuju dengan pendirian Bella tentang cinta dan wang, namun mula mengambil berat tentang Bella. Dapatkah dia mengetepikan perasaannya dan membantu Bella mencapai hasrat untuk bersama Datuk Hisham?.."

I assure you that you'll fall for this guy (the character if not, character and person) at that instant, because I did (especially of his character in the movie) until now. Nak get over tapi tak boleh lagi. How? Haha. And so I googled him and somehow or rather "stumbled" upon his personal blog and started reading from one post to another. Dude, he's something something. Not only that he's talented in the scenes, but he's also one gifted writer, though some of his writings can be quite complex, verbal and mind riddling but still decipherable. And I like the fact that he speaks up his mind regardless of the consequences that might follow suit. Even if it was some ugly dude writing like this, I'd still be enthralled by it (the writings). I note the significance that he's not just an actor with face (yang amat comel) and talent, but also great brain, no... great mind. Kalau ada brains tapi tak tau guna mind pun tak ke mana right?

On the whole, I enjoyed the movie a hundred percent! Kalau boleh nak bagi 110%. It was a fantastic movie. Wait no, it was an implausible movie! I think Lina Tan has taken the movie to a higher level and proved to the minority minds (like me) that Malay movies are worth watching and has a vast amount, if not, great substance. Even my sister who hates the hell out of Malay movies agree with me on this.

I think Maya Karin and Fazura (particularly F) acted effortlessly. Not that I'm saying that they're gedik which I'm sure the former especially isn't, but they pulled through the character so well that you didn't feel that as if they were acting. Simple English, bukan? Aaron Aziz tak yah citer la. Hot NM. Go figure.

They say seeing is believing, believing is seeing. Why don't you see it for yourselves and believe whatever I say here? Daa :)
