About a few weeks ago Ms Eliz let us watch a
movie entitled “Sana Dati”. I believe it is a treat for us because we won in
the Cheers and Chants completion (just kidding). Miss said that the “Sana Dati”
is the last part of the Camera trilogy by Jerold Tarog. At first I was shocked
because I’ve known Mr. Tarog for his indie and some horror films, not in love
stories.
Sana
Dati is film released last 2013 and one of the entries for the Cinemalaya 2013.
It won the best film and some other awards. The movie is about a woman who is
about to get married, but on her weeding day someone arrived and turned her day
a lot different, because he reminded her of the man she once loved . Lovi Poe
portrayed the character of Andrea Gonzaga the woman who is about to get married,
Paulo Avelino and Benjamin Alves as brothers Dennis and Andrew Cesario (Andrew
being the guy who Andrea first loved) lastly TJ Trinidad as the soon to be
groom named Robert Naval.
I think Mr. Tarog is so brilliant by ending
his Trilogy with a love story because you can easily capture the hearts of the
Filipinos through this kind of movie. Well he is not just brilliant for that
decision but rather the way he tells the story. The movie is so full of
flashbacks and with each of those being showed you can clearly understand what
had really happened.
There are parts of the movie which I really like,
those includes the scene in which one of the brothers is reciting the poem of
Julio Medem. It is so good in the ears and you can feel the romance in the air
(so corny). I also loved the scene in the rooftop wherein Andrea and Dennis
chitchat about some things about their life. The funny part in that is when
Dennis tells the story about his brother and how pinched the butt of their
physics teacher. I remember my classmates shouting the words breezy, hokage, and ninja move. There
is also a scene in the movie the gives us the rush, it is when Robert starts to
look for Andrea (well I haven’t told you that Andrea almost runaway from her
wedding because she wasn’t there even when the program is starting in any
minute), Andrea is with Dennis in the rooftop and imagine the chaos when Robert
meet Dennis in the rooftop together with his bride in his own wedding day. We
were so nervous in that part and everyone just want to cover their faces
because they were not prepared for the next scene. Luckily the two wasn’t able
to meet and the wedding proceeds.
The film may have not ended the way I wanted
but I am so satisfied by the experience that Mr. Tarog gave me. For those guys
out there who haven’t watched the movie I am strongly recommending this to you,
not seeing this movie is like missing a part of your life.
Before I end this blog I just want to thank Ms
Eliz for letting us watch this movie and also for the snacks. I know Miss that
you will be reading this post and as a request can you let us watch the second
part of trilogy. I have read a review about it and I think I am going to like
it also.

TumugonBurahinI like the way on how you presented this blog but I think there are few flaws that needs immediate action so that your blog will be pretty good and amazing. :)
