While I am watching the film you will feel the strong points of the movie. The emotion, it gets in to you. Mapapaisip ka sa movie. Theres a thirst of thinking what will happen next. The director was successful in providing a mix of comedy drama and reality in this movie. Personally I am a critic others call us the intellectuals. And yes this is a movoe that I will watch over and over again.

I thought I was ready for certain things in art, but I still felt uncomfortable because of its unfamiliarity to me personally. That is why I stated it honestly so readers know where my review was coming from. But yes, I need to broaden my world view in order to write reviews more objectively.Fred Saidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04151953569361308999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607216452500010621.post-51738177073611544962014-08-11T01:03:32.870+08:002014-08-11T01:03:32.870+08:00Personally, I don't think you're being obj...Personally, I don't think you're being objective towards this film. By saying you were apprehensive about watching this film, and you were "uncomfortable" during the intimate scene? Let me ask you- if it were a sex scene between a straight couple, would you still have complained? No. Even friends whom I've thought were open-minded had expressed discomfort, compared to other films where the sex scenes were much more lewd and seemingly unconnected. <br />Also, many films have a lot of subtle cues and hints that would take viewers many times to see in order to notice, much less understand and connect with the story. Your view on the wonderful cinematography of this film is sub-par at best. Did you even notice the irony between the plot and the shots taken? Your closed-mindedness affects your review negatively, thus I suggest you work on broadening your horizons.<br />Sincerely, Kat.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650425618479280833noreply@blogger.com
