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*
I thought you were very natural and played the role of Ling beautifully. I'm sure you are getting lots of rave reviews. Hope to see more of your wonderful acting.
I am leaving a comment here so that each time anyone likes my comment I get notified about this great masterpiece and can rewatch it. Such a great short film. Hats off to all who worked behind this👏👏👏👏👏
It is weird that we all have different languages and culture but real emotions are same. Its a masterpiece. Loads of love from India...Loved it! Stay real guys, it's precious.
@@kateli1880 😂 highly likely...the moment I realise she's not taking me where we're supposed to be going, I'd probably have gotten hella suspicious and gotten away somehow
At 16:00 when mama says : ''Alan I really hope you can come visit me''. This scene really bring tears. Dear all, do spend time with your parents and give respect to them that they deserve . You cannot find anyone who will love you unconditionally as your parents do.
My brother passed away and I decided to come back to my hometown to take care of my parents. Here I found my match and feel so peaceful to live closer to my family. Please don't forget your parents when they're old.
"Your mother once told me: 'Life is more than just getting one point to another. Sometimes if we stop and do nothing you'll learn to enjoy the view.'" I really love this whole story. A real good teacher itself. ❤❤❤
I'm an indian, this short movie is an extreme level of acting of both the main characters. I enjoyed and the last 5 min i couldn't say how that make me cry heart touching. ❤
Dear, and all love from me, a normal Vietnamese person watching the film. My eyes are shedding tears. My mind totally dives into the film. I miss my parents in my lovely hometown. I've been living far from them in another beach city. Always miss family and all beloved ones... My great gratitude to my family, all dear ones and me! Thank you!
Wow what a story line, that crazy young women who played Ling was a breath of fresh air , beautifully acted and to complement it Alan. Thank you and well done.
Life is not all about going from point A to point B. Sometimes, we need to stand still and admire the view. This is the sad truth of life, we live as if all our love ones are immortal. We treasure them when they becomes our memory.
I'm watching it again after a year and it still feels so beautiful. Feels like I somewhere got connected with this video and rewatching it is bringing me closer to my past self who was struggling too but never lost hope.
This is the only short film with the greatest plot twist that I've watch. It left a BIG IMPACT to the viewers, especially for MOTHER'S DAY. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS FILM
This one broke me to the core. I love it. Maybe its because I'm watching it while I'm taking my examination far from home. And its been a long time since I last went home due to transportation issues. What a beautiful piece! Cheers to the team for such a curation!
:) let's just say i cried when the last thing she wanted to do before she died was just to spend some time with her son... man, he's lucky to have a mom who truly loves him and appreciates the smallest things in this world.
Came back here again after months when i first saw the short film when it was released. Trust me its probably one of the best ever short storyline i have ever seen. You should probably make a sequel if you can. We’ll 100% love it and support you guys. The story feels so real I can’t even express how good it is💜
Being chinese or of chinese root and not being able to speak or read or write is nothing to be proud of. I can relate to the situation which is since 2019 i have been self educating myself in 汉子. This short movie is very entertaining to me. Thank you
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
Oh I suddenly found this short film, RUclips recommended it to me. At first time I saw, I was attracted by the thumbnail and the name, so I clicked to watch it and now I have felt in love with the story and the message inside it ❤ It made me cry a lot. Btw, love the picturesque landscape. Thank you for this meaningful film❤
i really enjoyed this short film! i lost my mother young and the love expressed from the mother actress was breathtaking. the portrayal of alan and the ling was something unmatched. i think i will have to watch this 10 more times :)
Very great and touching story. It's a lesson for everyone, that we shouldn't wait for another day and say "Next time" if we can do it right away or right now. Good job for the casts and Director
Undoubtedly one of the best films (both full length and short films) that I have watched. Just superb. Great story. And great acting. I loved all the actors. Each and every of them. And I am in tears. It was so touching.
Lekx Bro Dude seriously do you even have a heart ? Everyone cries, and its not even funny to comment below "PUSSY " This all are JinnyBoy TV FAM hard work.🙏🏻🙏🏻So appreciate it while you can :)
wow! what a poignant and heart warming film. The part when Alan's mom asked "when are you coming back ?" brought a tear to my eyes .... good actors too
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.
I'm in an emotional wreck right now. Being far away from home makes it so much harder to actually be able to see my parents. This short is literally my worst fears manifested.
Omg i didn’t expect the ending until I saw the cremation pot. What a heart touching story it makes me cry 😭 Always love your family especially your mother ❤️
This is one of the Best short movies I ever watched! Thank you so much! I'm grateful to everybody who worked on it. Our time is greatest gift we could give to other people. 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.
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 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…
Nowadays tears is so hard. After got maturity, we can't normally got into it. But the emotion in this Drama make me cry. I lost my mom in 2015. This drama give me the vibe again how beautiful the mother love could be. Thanks for give me tears in my eyes. Thanks whole team. We have different language, different culture, different region but same emotions. Keep up the good work. 🇧🇩
I finally found time to complete watching this. Thanks, it is meaningful to me. Born in Singapore but from a Malaysian mother, I have visited her hometown and been to where she lived and grew up. At least I have no regrets... But it is serves as a good reminder to me and those of us whose mothers are not born in the same place as us.
I don't know seeing this after a year still brings back that peaceful vibe the serenity most of us don't realize that this types of videos inspires us to be more out of our life Jinnyboy deserve more people but at the same time people are attracted to materialistic things that they forget that this type of video exist....
Lovely film. Made me cry. My mom’s love is one of the few things I could count on. Glad we had many good times together. Now I sometimes pine for my son as she pined for me. Glad we can tell each other we love each other.
ykw i watched this like 3 years ago and i still revisit this channel from time to time and watch these shortfilms again and again .These are actually so good . simple stories with a lot of emotions
Every short film he makes is a master piece and his short films like this one always have me in tears in a good way. I'd love to see what he would do with a full film.
This hits me for home. I left Malaysia 18 years ago when I was 12 years old for America and haven't been home since. Haven't seen my family since. Definitely miss it. Unique short story, definitely love it!
I'm sorry, you'll probaly never read this. Thank you. For personal reasons, this really had a huge impact. All your films, they came from somewhere I never thought existed anymore. Thank you. Maybe I'll give things a chance. Thank you
this is why i disliked the video and the female character seems a little slutty or gentle way - throwing over herself too much which in real life don’t really happen all the time, unless drunk in a night club?
Jacky Phantom its the character’s personality , i didnt mention anything about the slang or accent. anyways its just my 2cents abt this short film and storyboard.
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.
This is so so heartwarming. It just makes me believe that no matter how busy we are we must spend little moments of joy with our parents. We do get very little time in our lives to spend with them. Keep making more beautiful short films. Great one !!🥺🩵🩵
A heart felt movie. Beautiful story of a mother longing for the presence of her son to be with her for just a moment, while she still exist. Do not let the time past by without nourishing the time that our love once still alive. We lived in this world temporarily, we must have this wonderful memories with our family.
I am having a very bad time with my mother recently. And RUclips came up with this. Watching with tears I'm feeling I have to say 'Sorry' before its too late.
There are two shorts I like the most of all the JinnyboyTV productions: Love at First Swipe and this one -- Homebound. As someone who has travelled through parts of Malaysia, I am ashamed to say i have never been on Cameron Highlands, only whizzed past it on my long trip from Kota Bharu to KUL in a self-driven hired car. The next time I am in Malaysia, I will definitely visit the Highlands, and only because this short made it look so alluring. As for the film itself, and the storyline, what made it for me most of all are the characters of Ling, played so incredibly well by Joey Leong, and the character who played the mother of Alan. The thrust of the film isn't necessarily "homebound", which I think misplaced the underpinning message of the film, but "the patience of an enduring memory of place, time and birth." We live in a hopelessly manic and selfish rat race and as a result we have forgotten ourselves and those we love or have loved. The film was haunting in this respect, and brought home a few key personal messages for me. Well done, JinnyboyTV production team, to the writer, to the actors, and to the spatiality of time and place. Lest we forget ourselves.
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.
Never miss the chance to say I love you never miss the chance to say goodbye, cherish those moments you have with your loved ones before it to late.❤️ I laughed I cried, it moved me
This is so good it made me really cry, it made me realize that I was just like him so busy at work and find it a hard time to have time with my mom who is getting older. Life is so hard but it's more painful that the job I have that gives my family a comfortable life is an exchange for a little time I can spend with them. I wanna be with my mom so bad and sleep together with her but my work is taking all my time. I really am bawling my heart out here. This is a good film. Thank you.
I'm so glad I came across this beautiful short film though a year later! The story was so wonderfully woven with the scenic beauty of the place and the actors were just amazing! Loved the film😇
Just found this and I can't even understand why is there so much unlikes. Well, I guess People IS really hard to understand. This shortfilm is under appreciated. Keep up the good work. Ling is absolutely bubbly.
This is the reason we should enjoy every moment of our life. The line in which ling is saying that life is not only moving from one point to another it is also sometime staying and enjoying wherever you are.

Did anyone notice, Ling took him every where his mother wanted him to go......
yeah! His mother really hope his son will love those beautiful scenery, that's why Ling took him everywhere.
Damnn that hit me hard 😭😭😭😭
Thats the main point
Yes from the moment she saw him she took him by her side so she could do what his mother couldn't do any more so sad.😥😥
Who wouldn't notice that
It's hit me hard, my mom always ask me, "bila nak bailk?" "bila boleh balik?" "cuti bila? balik tak?".
It's sad but, I'll be there for you mom.

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…
Nowadays tears is so hard. After got maturity, we can't normally got into it. But the emotion in this Drama make me cry. I lost my mom in 2015. This drama give me the vibe again how beautiful the mother love could be. Thanks for give me tears in my eyes. Thanks whole team. We have different language, different culture, different region but same emotions. Keep up the good work. 🇧🇩
Touching film! amazing job guys!
I am human

I finally found time to complete watching this. Thanks, it is meaningful to me. Born in Singapore but from a Malaysian mother, I have visited her hometown and been to where she lived and grew up. At least I have no regrets... But it is serves as a good reminder to me and those of us whose mothers are not born in the same place as us.
Powerful short film, proud to be Maia, diversity of our Malaysian culture, taste & elegance, bravo!
As mothers day is aproaching and am here watching this master piece. God bless all mothers in the globe 🥰🥰
I don't know seeing this after a year still brings back that peaceful vibe the serenity most of us don't realize that this types of videos inspires us to be more out of our life Jinnyboy deserve more people but at the same time people are attracted to materialistic things that they forget that this type of video exist....
That last transition got me bursting into tears, very compelling moment!!
Anyone notice that she took him to all the places his mom wanted to take him...this film is so sad but so heartwarming 😭🤚🤚
It's been awhile since I've bawled my eyes out watching a short film! AND it's a Malaysian production filmed in Malaysia!
Lovely film. Made me cry. My mom’s love is one of the few things I could count on. Glad we had many good times together. Now I sometimes pine for my son as she pined for me. Glad we can tell each other we love each other.
ykw i watched this like 3 years ago and i still revisit this channel from time to time and watch these shortfilms again and again .These are actually so good . simple stories with a lot of emotions
Every short film he makes is a master piece and his short films like this one always have me in tears in a good way. I'd love to see what he would do with a full film.
Got me eyes watering all day. Thank you for reminding me on how much I miss and love my father ❤️
This hits me for home. I left Malaysia 18 years ago when I was 12 years old for America and haven't been home since. Haven't seen my family since. Definitely miss it. Unique short story, definitely love it!
Not at all where I was expecting that to go. Beautiful. This hardened soul actually shed a small tear. That was absolutely perfect.
This channel has some of the finest short films I've ever seen
I'm sorry, you'll probaly never read this. Thank you. For personal reasons, this really had a huge impact. All your films, they came from somewhere I never thought existed anymore. Thank you. Maybe I'll give things a chance. Thank you
Him: *doesn't understand Mandarin*
Her: can you speak a little bit of mandarin?
Him: maybe
*20mins of them conversing between mandarin and English
Daniel Chandy also him working in Singapore without speaking mandarin? A little suss
this is why i disliked the video and the female
character seems a little slutty or gentle way - throwing over herself too much which in real life don’t really happen all the time, unless drunk in a night club?
Jacky Phantom its the character’s personality , i didnt mention anything about the slang or accent. anyways its just my 2cents abt this short film and storyboard.
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.
I'm not crying, I'm just sweating from my eyeballs
This is so so heartwarming. It just makes me believe that no matter how busy we are we must spend little moments of joy with our parents. We do get very little time in our lives to spend with them. Keep making more beautiful short films. Great one !!🥺🩵🩵
A heart felt movie. Beautiful story of a mother longing for the presence of her son to be with her for just a moment, while she still exist. Do not let the time past by without nourishing the time that our love once still alive. We lived in this world temporarily, we must have this wonderful memories with our family.
What a master piece. Malaysia representative! 🇲🇾
This is amazing I’ve never seen a video that’s under 20 minutes with so much emotions in it

Whenever i see Korean shortfilms i got addicted and no come back !
Very beautiful, emotional and wonderfully presented Film !!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am having a very bad time with my mother recently. And RUclips came up with this. Watching with tears I'm feeling I have to say 'Sorry' before its too late.
You did it! It reminds me of my grandma and my father. Thank you for made a beautiful, touching short-film..
jinnyboy short film just can’t go wrong. Quality on point 💯
Am I too late here? YT Recommend it to me 1 year after. And who's chopping onions here? damn!
Watching this again for the 3rd time. How can this not be an award winning short film. It's so touching and memorable!
There are two shorts I like the most of all the JinnyboyTV productions: Love at First Swipe and this one -- Homebound. As someone who has travelled through parts of Malaysia, I am ashamed to say i have never been on Cameron Highlands, only whizzed past it on my long trip from Kota Bharu to KUL in a self-driven hired car. The next time I am in Malaysia, I will definitely visit the Highlands, and only because this short made it look so alluring. As for the film itself, and the storyline, what made it for me most of all are the characters of Ling, played so incredibly well by Joey Leong, and the character who played the mother of Alan. The thrust of the film isn't necessarily "homebound", which I think misplaced the underpinning message of the film, but "the patience of an enduring memory of place, time and birth." We live in a hopelessly manic and selfish rat race and as a result we have forgotten ourselves and those we love or have loved. The film was haunting in this respect, and brought home a few key personal messages for me. Well done, JinnyboyTV production team, to the writer, to the actors, and to the spatiality of time and place. Lest we forget ourselves.
He should have some patience, you know enjoying the moment. He's so annoying. The girl is so sweet. Story is amazing ❤️
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.
Any Indian is there....🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Yes I m from Mumbai
🙋
Yes
@@monty_monty great some one from india likes my movie taste
Yes
Never miss the chance to say I love you never miss the chance to say goodbye, cherish those moments you have with your loved ones before it to late.❤️
I laughed I cried, it moved me
This short film is so well shot. So many instances where I thought to myself, "wow this looks like Hollywood level production value'
This is so good it made me really cry, it made me realize that I was just like him so busy at work and find it a hard time to have time with my mom who is getting older. Life is so hard but it's more painful that the job I have that gives my family a comfortable life is an exchange for a little time I can spend with them. I wanna be with my mom so bad and sleep together with her but my work is taking all my time. I really am bawling my heart out here. This is a good film. Thank you.
I'm so glad I came across this beautiful short film though a year later! The story was so wonderfully woven with the scenic beauty of the place and the actors were just amazing! Loved the film😇
Everything is beautiful in this film....story,acting, emotion.....👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻bravo for the writer .... well done 👍
I'm in love with the song....so calming, soothing, pure,shrine,melodious ❤
Just found this and I can't even understand why is there so much unlikes. Well, I guess People IS really hard to understand. This shortfilm is under appreciated. Keep up the good work. Ling is absolutely bubbly.
This is the reason we should enjoy every moment of our life. The line in which ling is saying that life is not only moving from one point to another it is also sometime staying and enjoying wherever you are.
