Last weekend, I caught the last full show of Miss You Like Crazy with a friend (chos). Ever since its opening day, I badly wanted to watch it! My friends saw the premier and after that, all they did was exchange quotable lines from the movie. Hearing those lines made my heart feel like Cathy Garcia-Molina was thinking about me while creating the film, srsly.
The movie was quite unique- it had a slight twist which really isn’t evident in a lot of local films. The 5-year detail made it more interesting, but misleading. At first I thought that the first 2 years shown were already the 4th and 5th year. (I’m assuming that 90% of the madla have seen this movie, and YOU are part of that. If you’re not, e-mail me and I would gladly tell you the story.. WITH FEELINGS! Then you read this entry again.) Snaps to making Bea Alonzo look different in all of those five years that were enumerated in the movie. I found her pretty during the second half. Mashuba, as my mother would say, but stunning.
And now, for the waging-wagi line…
I really can’t say that the screenplay writers of MYLC rightfully deserve a trophy, but they have a fighting chance. In one of the scenes, Bea was pouring her emotional cargo to Papa JL during her surprise birthday party-slash-engagement. With feelings and sawing puso, she said…
“Okay na ako eh. Pinilit kitang kalimutan ng dalawang taon. Tapos ngayon babalik ka kasi libre ka na? Kasi pwede mo na akong mahalin? Eh P*****i*a mo!”
Ang lutong lang, teh. This is what I love about local films. The defining moment of the whole story boils down to one short emotional monologue, quickly followed with a couple of words viable for an MTRCB violation. Very brilliant.
Not bad for the third Papa JL-Bea reel of CG-M, really. I’d give it a “like” if the movie was a Facebook page. Although if I had a control over destiny and I was Papa JL, I’d choose Maricar over Bea. Hey, love isn’t the only reason why a person decides to leave or stay… Right?
