Letter 015 : Give Up Tomorrow vs Jacqueline Comes Home

Thursday, July 19, 2018



So last night, after watching the usual national radio episode, Idol commented about this documentary/investigative journalism. Lately it has been roaming, reposted over my social feed so additionally I finally took the courage to watch the film. I am not the kind of person who peck at insignificant trends unless it really peaked my interest.

The Paco documentary was too grim and too horrid for a morally upright viewers IMO. It was evidently the evil side of our kinship. We sway too much. To be the star of our own hero stories. The people, the media, the system, the meek, and the oppressed. 

Give Up Tomorrow.

I hope to say more, I want to say more.
But I really feel sad because we stills nature.
Why it has to be them. Why. does. it. happen?

I wanna see how Paco saw these. How he sees the world.
I wanna ask.

**

Then there's VIVA ENT to produce and sell the movie Jacqueline Comes Home. I came to question, for what purpose? Since the issue resurfaced twenty years after, it happened in 1997 I was born 1995!! What significance does this film wanted to say? For what purpose.

The upcoming movie (title) sounds full of sarcasm. Pre-judgements, Does this film wanted to portray how the Chiong parents struggled under the incident? Was it for sympathy? fame, riding afloat? Was it for money? 

Those lives involved went to an inhumane circus. does this film wanted to voice them?

You know there are things I really would like to hear from them. In certainty that the two daughters did disappear, a lot of lives were ruined, exposed.. people lost their definitions.

It's like people appreciates the pen than the poem.
Like the words than the letters.

**

I would like to boycott the movie (for now). It appears like a dirty scheming and making use of journalism to create a fake drama. People should asked for the truth not the excuses.

Im really glad I watched the documentary, Paco's (give up tomorrow) touched a piece of me.

#FinishedWatching : Fullmetal Alchemist Live Action

a bit messy, i think the actor/actresses were perfect for the characters. Winry's actress was too blinding, she's damn beautiful. Sometimes the potrayal of a scene is exaggerated. I dont think the thought of the original is well delivered though the iconic scenes included in this movie shown how the staff recognized the fanbased existing on the franchise.

Overall the movie adaptation is lacking in content but the actors/actresses are on point.
Some things are exceptionally good while there's a lingering sense of guilt.
Half good, half bad.

A shame but an accomplishment and could be improved.
Wished they just stick with the material.






#FinishedWatching : Nanimono (Somebody)

The storms of life is easier than of your home. You wont be shooting karma blindlessly. No one will care, but enough to carry your feet paving the way to contentment.

I am a fan of Takeru Sato and Suda Masaki, so when I heard they are doing movies together I was quite hyped and immediately expecting big coming from them. While familiar faces were also added to the team of protagonists such as, Fumi Nikaidô as Rika and Masaki Okada as Takayoshi.
The story clicks about people under common goal (to get hired by a company). The stigma of the movie exists in present time, specially to the first millenials. Each characters represent phantoms and commonalty. It has a strong script including its metaphor,simile and irony. I found myself very familiar with everything about the movie.
I chose to change my priorities under reality-demanding circumstances, I lived two-face, I freely chose to be go-lucky, and even too controlling about my philosophies. Everyone of the characters have a part of me and the feeling aftermath was scary and eye-opening.
I think that the minimal issue about this film is invisibility. Portraying the unportrayable.
( Takuto's cause which was the issue about his theatre-friend ) The movie is the exact opposite of "The Kirishima Thing" which the issue lies "when Kirishima left". That something have happened, but we cant show you since this isnt the main focus.
I cannot find the exact words to explain this further.
The execution is sewn beautifully. The reveal is its climax and its ending. Marking its identity. Its poetic by being straightforward with the answers. It is something I would rewatch to get new perspective and opinions about life.  Truly impressive.
We are proud of our own assets but life before you has been sober at reality failures. You were caught by the tide.

[ Day 00 ] May events to Timeline

Saturday, June 10, 2017


The rainy season is here.
I haven't been entering any posts the past weeks even though there are things to write , I decided not to. Back to the weather, I have never hated how cold it is during the night since I was demanding it to change ever since May came. The hot concretes of road and pavements now receive the labour to cool down as noon arises.

I started watching another Korean Drama called Shopaholic King Louis , yesterday while the weeks before that was constantly checking the schedules of Pirates of the Caribbean : Salazar's Revenge on SM Cinema website. I've already taken her approval to watch but I remembered I have to prioritize the wedding of my childhood friend.


The wedding was made simple, few and selected guests arrive. The mood of the party was reflected within the both parties. I might sound mean but it is true. If ever I change my mind and commit myself to marry someone. I'll make sure, I have the necessities with me. I am prepared with that opportunity.

I hope to see my father cry in disbelief , that her loving daughter will live happily to someone who treasures her as much as my parents did. So far , I didn't like this idea, I rather see myself saving money for their hospital fees. Haha.

Speaking of June,
      I also attended a Tokyo Ghoul Promotional Event last June 2 using Youtube. Ishida's message was savage and I ended up happy and devastated at the same time. The event was translated to english by a professional, he did quite have a fighting moment which he managed to overcome. The event felt successful, and pleased with the announcement made during that time. I wished for more events like this for the foreign.

On May 25th, I finished watching Tunnel, the korean drama that explains the possibility why there were two Zodiac Killers in the movie of David Fincher. I was amazed with the story sewn for a small community. It was scary at first, may be because the screen visuals were abit dark and later it was entertaining with the cliffhangs. May 24th was alotted for Before I Fall (Movie) which I think is nothing new for the kind of concept the story was written. The decision the movie ended, however was acceptable and gained my respect. May 20th , Beauty and the Beast, which the details revised is carefully tacked for the old audiences to newly perceive. It was a scary town, Gustav fell and nobody given a fuvk? How insensitive , even for the main characters. Funny~

May 12th , Heart's birthday got me little heartbroken with the fact that my grandma is gone. I wished her a happy birthday. It was fun being with her, sharing meals and the like. It was Mother's Day too. On their way to pick me up, they have to go to Aunt's house for the pocket money. I decided to meet them there, we were blessed to have a new teddy bear. Said it was supposedly to be thrown , but was given to my Aunt instead. I named him Aldini. Heart second the opinion after some bribing I did.

#FINISHEDWATCHING 007 : Resident Evil - The Final Chapter

Sunday, March 26, 2017

 The franchise was unexpectally good, with the backstory opened for the realm. Well, if I were to judge , it was rather a simple story prolonged with same patterns for the movie (which is it was known for). The main protagonist, Alice, have to retrieve a cure for T-virus inside the Umbrella Corps' hideout which is located at Racoon City under time pressure. The source for the news, however was the Red Queen whom she have been hiding and fighting for years. Original source of information was later revealed at the half of the story. Claire, who somewhats resemble a strong aura like Alice but more feminined , was present in the movie and added a sense of familiarity for the long sequeled movie. 

---     The trial by fire before and after reaching the city stills an avant-garde performances and situations. Executing villians in the movie was rather unpleasant, Wesker , for me, acted like a decoration for me. He didnt do anything, except maintained a directive talking until he is dead. Paul Anderson, liven the role as a high-maintained villian, if that was the goal given between the two then I could say the movie with them is effective, and moving. Additional characters for them to die didnt leave much of an impact. The same setting used impact on lesser value, but the one I am able to appreaciate is the hideout for the remaining refugees. The theme envibes the drama for what makes the main character. Overall, with a hope of the movie's ending to be a sad one, I am happy that the staffs concludes it that way, a bid of farewell remains a happy one. Im happy and contented.

#FINISHEDWATCHING 006 : Fantastic Beasts and where to find them.

Sunday, February 26, 2017


Im still lost how or what word best describes the main character. Almost at the tip of my tongue. Great actor btw, I acknowledged him at best on the movie, Jupiter's Ascending.


#FINISHEDWATCHING 005 : Moana

#FinishedWatching : Hacksaw Ridge

---

Title : Hacksaw Ridge (2016)
Genre : Romance, Action, Drama, History
Rate : 6.7/10

--
Hacksaw Ridge protects the value of life and standing of our belief. In certain cases of tough jobs or hurdles we may encounter, the odds played well enough through the protagonist. Some scenes felt it was edited for the drama to take in. While the backstory's motif envelops with the gruesome development of the Battle of Okinawa, the morale begins to boost the audience. The movie settles the passion we always been having, and we've well keeping. Love, and acceptance of indifference.

If I may to comment, One must not skiphow draining the first part can be and not to close your eyes during the battle scenes for it is seemingly to dishonour the lives of those men who fought that day.
--
Hacksaw Ridge is recommendable , more importantly to the people who values patriotism than chauvinism.

#FinishedWatching 002 : W - Inside the Webtoon

Saturday, January 21, 2017

Title : W -Two Worlds (2016)
Genre : Romance, Mystery, Thriller, hint of Comedy&Action
Rate : 6.7/10
 --
 Relatable content for webtoon readers. Earned excitement for the series gradually decreases when the plot introduced an overlapping changes towards one situation. Dream after a dream.

Bit confusing but understandable, if you take the visual hints. Genre and concept wise. The situation handed surpassed a "comic" sense, thus vibe , that it is composed of two different worlds. not of a comic or a toon.

#FINISHEDWATCHING 003 : Mang Kepweng Returns (2017)

Saturday, January 7, 2017

So unexpectedly, my cousin called the home phone and asked me to go on a date with her siblings. It was blackout anyways so I jumped in, parents also encouraged me to go out so I agreed.

We ate at Chowking, ironically big appetite came for the smallest member, Sydney. He loves lauriat from the rice meals, while I ordered the usual. We even bought cinema ticket before that. After lunch, we immediately gone to the mall theatre, and patiently wait for the remaining minutes. I sat beside the young, while his sisters sat on my further right.

#FINISHEDWATCHING : Mang Kepweng Returns (2017)

Title: Mang Kepweng Returns (2017)
Genre: Comedy, Romance, Mystery and Action
Rate : 5.0/10
---
If ever you've been meeting the criteria of a good plotty movie, I suggest you better buckle to entertain yourself. The movie wasnt good enough, more fanservices rounded up than the main story. The other mysteries to be solved by the main character wasnt well sewn. It rather left me an impression, " Ah, this is Chapter 1, and Chapter 2.." so forth , with no conclusion of how it ended up with the rivalry of bad and the goods.
---
The use of the supporting girls crowded unnecessary things. Welp, it falls the same formula with Enteng Kabisote, it's just that this is worst. Genre were well played. Transitions were also good. Main Character played by the actor , Vhong Navarro with his family supporting it, is suited to the circumstances. They can stand alone. The subplot also, which was he has a half brother, creates an acceptable drama. Great villain by the way.

The movie is enjoyable, my cousin Sydney laughs at his best. I was kinda happy for that matter. Other elements mattered as a whole but it wont really uplift that the movie as overall isnt as impressive as you expect. Recommendable to family night movies. Watch out for the booby scences though.
