TASK 6 | AUTEUR CRITICISM (MAMAT KHALID)


 AUTEUR CRITICISM: MAMAT KHALID


Mamat Khalid – Movies, Bio and Lists on MUBI


According to the auteur criticism, the example of the director’s film that is good to be considered as an auteur is the movies that I have chosen which are Rock Oo! (2013) and Rock Bro! (2016), both films are directed by Mamat Khalid.

Mamat Khalid constantly portrays and directed comedy genre movies such as Rock Oo! and Rock Bro! Like the aforementioned movies, both movies have an interesting mix of genres, comedy, and musical. Everybody knows Mamat Khalid for his comedy genre film and his film attracted many viewers and some of his film got box office records. We also can see that Mamat Khalid likes to make his film in village life-style (Zombie Kampung Pisang) or retro life-style as we can see in Rock Oo! We can see that most of his film using same aesthetics from the plot, scene, sound and music also sound the same. As example, in Rock Oo! and Rock Bro! Mamat Khalid portrays both films in retro life-style or to be more specific, Rock Era. In the entire both movies, the actors have to put on a costume just to make them look as they really live in the Rock and Roll Era just to give the audience the feels of living in the retro life-style. Besides that, the camera effect also played a huge part in the films because Mamat Khalid used blurry and vintage effect for the films to make it more realistic from the rock and roll era. In the movies, we also can hear that Mamat Khalid constantly used old and vintage songs just to give the feelings and nostalgia to the audiences when they heard the vintage songs that have been played in the movies.

The mis-en-scene in Rock Oo! and Rock Bro! is the retro life-style environment including their dialect, costume and props.

However, Attack on Titan (2013) or also known as Shingeki no Kyojin in Japanese was aired on 2013 and up until now. Both have dark humour story telling and not suitable for audience age under 18 without parental guidance. The reason is because both series have included scary death moment such as being eaten by the giants (from Attack on Titan) and many more.
