    Hi, my naem is Ling. I donno how to say how greatful me is.... I mean,
    I can’t express how grateful I am to be in this short! ♡ The entire (very young yet dedicated) JinnyboyTV production team was so fun and comfortable to work with, not forgetting my multitalented co-actor Nick Davis. And Awwhh, it’s so heartwarming reading all the comments - Thank you! Thank you! (though I’m only a small part of this ‘masterpiece’ some of you called it)
    Share us more of your thoughts so we could do better (if there’s a next project together) *wink*

    Saw this about 2 yrs. ago, and was excited, how it's made, dealing with this sensitive topic. My mom died nearly two months ago, what gives this an additional meaning for me (and thought): Never let to much time fly, bc. one day, it might.... ok, u got it!

    this hits me really hard as a nomad workers, sometimes it looks impossible to go home and meet your family because you are trying so hard on life and you forgot that something important is missing, it was “TIME” use it wisely, don’t you ever forgot to comeback home and spend times with your precious parents

    THANKS TO THE WHOLE PRODUCTION. This is a perfect short film for young people. I asked my students to relate this to their lesson in Philosophy, how Aristotle's seen the "Reality" using senses. Our sense perception is enough to bring back memories and waking up our minds and hearts.

    A really beautiful film. From each gorgeous cinematic shot to how the actors really brought out the emotions. I love how subtly the theme was being built with a very simplistic kind of mystery wrapped up in the foreboding. The video recording of the teacher at the end really brought together the touching story. Makes me want to be there and enjoy the places Ling is showing around.

    This film got me choked up bad, but in a truly moving sensation. I feel this is a particularly common tragedy for most of us asians, although im sure anyone else who had their families immigrate into a different country can relate. I finally got to visit my home country and met my Mother’s family for the first time, and although we never got to go to her hometown I could sense this sensation being portrayed in the film. It’s sad knowing how far they’ve managed to push, and in our own rightful struggles to fight for our own spot, we often forget to appreciate them too especially when they were doing the same thing all while raising me and my siblings from 2 separate countries until we all finally settled in the USA. I was the first born in the US and I feel such a strong disconnect with my family, but this film connects with me in a way of my journey trying to navigate my way. Not necessarily back to the Philippines, but to appreciate the family I have rather than ignoring them simply because there’s another opportunity to be somewhere else. To become my own while trying to love my family is a conflict. In short, i highly admire this short film and the actors & actresses in it. I read the signs so early on, and it just hit me even harder when it finally dropped. Absolutely phenomenal ✨
    (Edit) rewatching it, the tragedy of his Mother trying to teach her son the lesson of appreciating the world him to the point of waiting beyond death, hits twice as hard. When you notice how Alan’s attitude is towards his Mother and at how he doesn’t try to even call her back. How he impatiently interacts with a local for slippers (idk the currency but he seems to not care about the change) and only shows interest when she shows to be useful to him in giving directions. He doesn’t attempt to speak or learn a bit of the language, or even interact with the culture and the people he’s effectively coming home to for his Mother’s resting place. His character development is truly caught when Ling gives Alan his Mother’s quote about not blindly chasing point to point. It’s sad how if he just happened to not meet Ling, he may have not truly learned to appreciate his Mother, her homeland, or the world as a whole and might have just flown back to KL grieving and incomplete & his mother may have been waiting beyond the grave for who knows how much longer for her son to “come home”. I’m TOTALLY not obsessed with this film…

If we consider life only as a way from one point to another, there wouldn't be those beautiful moments when we are relaxed and just spending time together. Our children are growing up so fast, our parents won't be with us someday.

      yeah. That's easy for you to say retrospectively. He came for a specific purpose and was pressed for time. She offered to take him to the place, but brought them on a wild goose chase, without telling him why she did that. Anyone in those circumstances would be pissed.

    • @limchyn8904
      @limchyn8904 5 років тому +2

      I’m kind of agreed with the logic of some scenes and storyline are a bit off compared in reality. Yet if the female lead is not that enthu, no way this short film was able to be produced. And it’s quite uncommon for the character being able to comprehend what the banana telling her in whole lots of conversations, yet it’s a fake story, so I assume she’s very talented in English language, somewhat gifted😂😂Same applied to the fake banana

      - She's so enthusiastic because she already knows him from the mother. She is eager to bring him to all the places the mother wanted him to see.
      - There are many Malaysians who understand a certain language but can't speak it well. If you notice their conversations, they don't fully understand the whole thing of what the other person says but tend to pick up key words which they understand.
