my own movie review
Let me share with you guys the movies I’ve seen so far this 2006 that i enjoyed.
1. Under the Tuscan Sun- by Diane Lane ( The Unfaithful) I think every woman can relate to her plight in finding genuine happiness, destiny, and searching for true love. A divorced writer that bought a house in Tuscany to live their for good and forget everything about her past and start a brand new life, in a new house, new place and a new found love. There is a woman told a story about the bugs and how she relates it to the idea of "destiny". As a child she always wanted to have bug. But unfortunately she haven’t found anything after all her efforts of finding one. Tired from her endless search she fell asleep on the ground. Surprisingly, when she woke up she found the bugs crawling all over her body. Isn’t it ironic? Even if it doesn’t happen to me. I can still relate to her analogy. Sometimes the more we search for something the more we can’t find it. Agree? A feel good movie. It makes me want to believe in destiny and try not question it.
2. A lot like Love by Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet - A romantic comedy about two strangers that met in a plane only to decide that they are poorly suited to be together. Over the next 7 years,however they are reunited time and time. In the course of fate they found themselves from being acquaintence to close friend to.. lovers?!! Another feel good movie! Depressed? Try watching this..
3. Anak ni Brocka directed by Sigfried Barros-Sanchez- is a Cinema One digital film original that is partly documentary and fiction. But nevertheless a fitting tribute to a great artist that put Philippine cinema on the world map. I was only 9 yrs. old when I vividly remember a flash report from ABSCBN that a famous director died in a car accident. That’s how i remembered the name Lino Brocka. Since then, i became curious to this man. But the moment i laid my eyes to his film Tinimbang ka Ngunit Kulang and Insiang, (now film classics) i became an instant fan of his works. The reason why i stayed watching this film is because I’m curious is that what if Brocka really did have a son. The director presented the story and its premise even before you watch the film. Insightful and hilarious. A movie that is better late made than never .
