Caerberu

My family and I had fun watching Best Friends Forever today, and here are my thoughts on the movie. While it had some scenes I found corny and exaggerated, like a-little-bit-disturbing-scenes where some of the characters would go cross-eyed in an attempt to look funny, I found it quite interesting and artful in the way it mixed serious drama and comedy. The issues presented in the movie are very real and have deep implications–some of the scenes are actually touching and tear-jerking. But the director was able to artfully inject comedy even amidst those scenes.

This made me recall some of the Filipino movies that I’ve watched in the past years, some of the really good ones. I’ve noticed that Filipino movies are going to the next level and are getting more interesting as the years pass. Some of the movies I particularly enjoyed are Mano Po, Tanging Ina, and even some romantic-and-funny movies. Another area to take notice of would be the Filipino versions of Korean or Japanese shows.
