The movie is beautiful. It redefined the word "bestfriend". If I have known that bestfriend has this new definition, I could have saved myself a lot of not-so-good feeling last time.
Seriously now, I think I have to see the movie again because my first showing was dominated by one windang after the other. But a few impressions did stuck in my mind.
John Lloyd Cruz is an awfully good actor. He doesn't have to say anything. His eyes are doing all the talking. So good!
Beautiful Bea. I suppose Direk Cathy didn't get that wish na minsan naman magpapangit si Bea. Just so beautiful in every shot. So beautiful and yet so real.
When they're onscreen together, I feel like they're my next door neighbors and one of them is telling me how their relationship is going. I don't feel like watching a movie. I feel as if I'm eavesdropping on a conversation. So natural. I guess it is a credit to the director and the screenwriter that they were able to achieve this kind of feel in the movie. John Lloyd and Bea looks as if they have been doing this for millions of years.
Watching the movie is like reading one of Jane's offcam kwento. Totoong-totoo. It's not easy achieving this feat. They don't look like they're acting. They just are. Having said that, the movie only needed one kiss and I'm glad that Direk Cathy didn't give in to the temptation of giving the audience more than what is needed. (Oh, but that was a very loaded kiss...sweet, funny, cute, affectionate, loving, passionate, deliberate. How could Lloydy and Bea make that one kiss all these is a mystery. But, it's there for us to savor. Yes, Icy, it was yummy.)
They are bestfriends and bestfriends do not kiss on the lips, or hug more than needed or kiss on the temple or declare love on national television...but I'm getting my definition from an old dictionary. Bestfriend na kung bestfriend. Whatever, Bea, whatever.
They are so good. They are so good together.
I llllllllllllllooooooooooooooooovvvvvvvvve it!
And, why is this ring everywhere even if she's Marian? Does she even take it off? Just curious.
