WILD AND FREE

Wild And Free starts out as a regular banal local romantic movie, and then it gets progressively worse as it introduces its conflicts. Turns out the girl used to date the guy’s older half brother, who happens to be dead. This makes him insane. He hallucinates bizarre scenarios where his dead brother and his girlfriend are cheating on him. But because none of the threats are real, and the guy is ultimately forgiven for his completely unfounded jealousy, the film comes off as a defense of the fragile male ego. This culminates in a completely unforgivable act that is of course glossed over in the final stretch. And I want to stress ‘unforgivable.’ The film goes to a disgusting extreme.

FAVORITE LINE: “Kapag ba nag reminisce ang dalawang mag-ex, gusto pa rin nila ang isa’t-isa?”

— Ellie

STARRING: Derrick Monasterio and Sanya Lopez

DIRECTED BY: Connie S.A. Macatuno

GENRE: Drama

May pamahiin ang mga Pilipino tungkol sa pagtuturo. Hindi ko na maalala kung bakit ko parating kinakagat ang dulo ng daliri ko na ginamit sa pagtuturo ngunit alam kong nagsimula akong gawin ito noong musmos pa lamang ako.

Habang isinusulat ko ‘to ay itinanong ko sa nanay ko kung bakit nga ba bawal magturo. Sumagot ang ate ko na nakikinig sa aming usapan at sinabing “baka manuno” raw. Sabi naman ng nanay ko na dahil baka raw sundan ako ng aswang.

Kayo ba, alam ninyo kung ano raw ang dahilan kung bakit hindi dapat nagtuturo-turo lalo na sa mga lugar na parang papunta sa kawalan?
