The Cinemalaya, the event which promotes independent film, has started last Friday. It has eleven entries, nine full length independent films and two short stories. I missed the opening yesterday, it totally slipped from my mind -- maybe because I was too excited to see my guy that time, which turned into another disappointment.
So far, I only seen one film, the Donor, and i have 10 more to go before it ends next week.
Medyo hindi ko feel yung movie, dahil una, yung title na donor hindi nirepresent yung movie as a whole, the movie is not about donating or whatever, although nag-donate siya ng kidney, pero hindi umiikot yung story sa pag-dodonate. something like that.
Okay yung mga artista, may mga scene na nakakatawa, may script na funny, at may dull moments din - pero pamatay ang ending. doon bumawi ang direktor. nakakapang-hina ng laman.
The way i see it, parang yung story is like a struggle ng bawat mahihirap sa Pilipinas na tipong sumusugal ka to the point na pumapasok ka sa mga illegal na bagay maka survive lang. The typical set-up na, babae - nagsisipag magtrabaho bilang pirated DVD vendors, may ka-leave-in na walang trabaho, ginagamit ang pera ng babae para sa pang-inom, malibog, tamad, sunog-baga, walang pangarap kung hindi tumunganga. Then nagka-struggle - na-raid yung store, then nag balak mag abroad, malaki placement fee, kaya nag donate ng kidney.. mga ganon lang.. linear yung story line, kaya medyo petiks.
Oh well, excited na ako bukas, to watch other films, since ayaw ni boyfriend ng mga indie-films (hay) i'm gonna watch it with my friends.
Feeling ko din, parang indie-film ang buhay ko -- kakaiba, nakakaloka, minsan masaya minsan malabo, minsan single, minsan double, minsan iiyak tapos naman tatawa. ewan ko, i feel confuse over something lately, but i don't want to dwell on it and make some fuss about it, chaka pagod na din ako magisip, hinahayaan ko na lang yung panahon sumagot para sa akin. Go with the flow na lang at mag enjoy. GAAAAA.
