[pelikulangbabae]

“Lorna”

Released in 2014. Directed by Sigrid Andrea Bernardo.

“Sakit sa puso ‘pag lalaki.”

Despite conventional norms and embracing dating’s potential, 60-year-old Lorna sets out on a quest for love and companionship. After feeling empty and alone in her life, Lorna bravely makes the decision to return to the dating scene. Lorna’s character represents the universal desire for connection and fulfillment, regardless of age. Despite being in the later stage of her life, she refuses to settle for a mundane existence and actively seeks love and happiness. This showcases her resilience, determination, and zest for life. Lorna’s odyssey serves as an instructive illustration of the intersectionality between vulnerability, self-exploration, and the intrinsic significance of establishing individual boundaries.

Kita Kita (2017)

Understandably, this film mildly polarized its viewers, with most of #woke audiences choosing to fixate on the second act of the film, where Empoy is revealed to be a stalker hell-bent on getting Alessandra to like him, even going so far as taking advantage of her blindness to win her affection. I fall on the other side of that spectrum, though -- I thought Kita Kita was lovely and sweet, that it made use of good scenery and even better music, that it was funny and a little bit kilig, and that it did well in making us feel for a leading man that isn’t conventionally physically attractive. That’s how I saw it, and how I choose to see it. Mostly my preference has to do with choosing to see the best parts of Act 1, and conveniently ignoring the less savory segments of Act 2 (I think the movie could’ve been so much stronger if they chose to do away with that “reveal”). It sought to be a message, about the universality of emotion and how the people that we care about aren’t determined by how they look but by how they treat us, and how we end up feeling for them as a result of this treatment. It just wanted to go against the idea that happy endings, that beautiful girls, are only for hunks with chiseled jaws (Xian Lim, Piolo Pascual, et. al) or unbearably charming smiles (John Lloyd Cruz, JM de Guzman). Empoy doesn’t fit any of that, but we see their relationship blossom into something that can only be described as genuine (goes beyond physical traits), and I feel that message would’ve been less diluted if they didn’t try to squeeze in that entire flashback sequence, and that sense of ‘inevitability’ or ‘destiny’ that a lot of films fall victim to. I forgive them that -- I walked out of the cinema feeling buoyed and good about the world, and in the end that’s all we really ask of movies.

Kita Kita (a.k.a. I See You) [My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars]

A blind woman falls in love with a man who uses kindness and humor to make a connection with her.

Kita Kita (2017; Sigrid Andrea Bernardo)

Kita Kita's story is simple yet genuine. Having an unconventional leading man and an odd-looking pair adds to its charm. Alessandra did not disappoint and Empoy is surprisingly good-- but his humor is hit or miss.

The script is a bit suspect and some parts were a bit of a reach and didn't feel sincere. The story suffered late when it went from cute to borderline creepy. There’s a thin line between genuinely wanting someone to be happy and manipulating someone’s feelings-- more so on a handicapped person.

I personally loved the ending with Alessandra though and I felt it was the best part of the film. Empoy's ending could've been delivered in some other way. I'm not really sure if it's socially acceptable but It just didn't hit the spot.

Kita kita is one of the best shot local film I've seen in a while. The cinematography is excellent and the Japanese setting felt like a homage to asian dramas. Despite of the weak second half there is enough in the film that still makes it watchable. Ashiyu~
