Unhappy For You

Watched the movie yesterday and here are my thoughts:

The movie and the storyline in general are 7/10. Nothing new and a typical love/heart break story. BUT JoshLia serves. Acting and visuals wise, they are giving. Did they make me cry? Of course! Ako pa ba? Baka iyakin lang talaga ako pero I felt the story. I don’t have the same experience because I know for myself that I cannot be casual with my ex. It is just JoshLia showcases “that” chemistry. They make you feel the love that they share and the pain that they suffered on that relationship. Sabi nga ng Tita ko, Juancho and Zy’s story tells what really happened to Joshua and Julia. I do not want to give spoilers but if I am a JoshLia fan, I would agree. It is like they are narrating what between them.

There is a bit of comedy also. Julia and Joshua is effortlessly funny and such a joy to watch.

People get tired. People have limits. People only have so much to offer and so much to give. There are also people who are really madly and crazily in love to the point that their way of thinking and decisions do not make sense and are just pure stupid.

And it is also true that sometimes, the best and most logical choice is to let go, even if you do not want to, even if never wanted to. Letting go doesn’t mean love vanished or given up. Sometimes, you just know that better is coming when you decide to go out of that situation or relationship.

Unhappy For You also tells us that there is always two sides of the story. One’s perspective is different than the other. There should not be a good guy bad guy in the relationship because both parties are mutually happy during the relationship and also mutually suffering during or after the relationship.

Communication, growth, support, and dreams should always be present and should always be mutually understood and committed. One cannot function alone to carry the relationship. It always takes two to tango.

For the technicalities, Star Cinema always produces beautifully shot scenes and angles. I guess Moira’s Paubaya is really JoshLia’s breakup theme song since it was released. The scoring made me cry. The writing is good also —- the movie is romantic but has comedy on the side.

Everyone can enjoy the movie and the chemistry of JoshLia. Tho I would say that this movie is best suited for couples who are young in love and just starting life together. They will learn a lot from this movie.

You need to wake up and get up. You'll have to figure things out yourself, you can't keep abandoning yourself and chase a person. You can't help someone while ruining yourself. Someone needs to end it, you need to end it. But never forget to communicate with the person before you do.

6 Things I realized after watching Paubaya M/V by Moira Dela Torre

______________________________________________

OO.1 | Hindi nakakatuwang mag-biro ang tadhana. Masakit. Nakakapanlumo. Malungkot.

Masakit dahil kahit anong gawin mong iyak, mahirap kalabanin ang tadhana, hindi mo siya kayang salungatin. Nakakapanlumo dahil alam mong wala kang magagawa, hindi mo, o niya kasalanan na naubos na ang pag-ibig. Wala kang pwedeng sisihin na natapos na ang lahat. Nakakalungkot na wala kang pamimilian kundi pagtanggap o pagkamuhi, at madalas pareho lang sila ng binibigay na sakit.

OO.2 | Madalas taksil ang mga pangako, madali nila tayong madaya. Nakakagago. Nakakadismaya.

Mas magaling kasi mangako ang mga taong nagmamahal, at mas mabilis mapaniwala ang mga taong masaya na nakakatanggap ng pagmamahal. Totoong mass mabilis tayong ma-uto, at minsan pumapayag tayong magpa-uto. Hindi natin ito kasalanan. Dalawa lang madalas ang hantungan ng mga pangako: ang mapanindigan ang mga ito o ang mabitawan kasabay ng taong ginawan mo ng pangako. Kayang kaya tayong dalhin ng mga salita sa panandaliang pakiramdam ng saya, pero taksil ito dahil kaya rin tayo nitong wasakin kung gugustuhin niya.

OO.3 | Totoo ang pagmamahal na marunong magpatawad. Kuntento. Magaan. Masaya.

Isang beses tinanong ko ang sarili ko kung bakit kahit alam kong mapapagaan ng pagpapatawad ang pakiramdam ko, hirap pa rin akong gawin. Ang sagot lang na nakuha ko ay dahil siguro, sadyang hindi ito madaling ibigay. Minsan, kailangan natin ng panahon para magdesisyon at madalas kailangan natin ng mahabang oras para maging handa. Pero naisip kong ang totoong nagmamahal, bago pa man siya gawan ng kasalanan ng taong mahal niya, may parte sa puso niya na nagpatawad na agad. Natatagalan lang dahil ang nangangailangan na lang ng panahon ay ikaw, at kung handa ka na bang sabihing pinapatawad mo siya.

OO.4 | Hindi kailanman naging madali ang magpaubaya ng isang bagay na minsan nang naging sa'yo. Hindi rin madali maging matapang.

Kung nagawa mo nang magpaubaya, napaka tapang mo; at isa ka sa mga taong kinatatakutan ko. Hindi ibig-sabihin nito na ikaw ang sumuko, na ikaw ang naunang maubusan ng pag-ibig, o ikaw ang mas duwag dahil hindi mo piniling ipaglaban ang alam mong sa'yo. Nagpaubaya ka dahil tanggap mong hindi siya sa'yo magiging masaya, na hindi ka isang bagay na ginagamit lang na dahilan para sumaya. Dahil alam mong hindi ka nagkulang, binigay at kaya mo pang ibigay ang lahat. Dahil alam mong 'yon ang tamang gawin, at mas alam mong hindi ka nabubuhay nang mayroong kahati. Kung kaya mong gawin ito, alam mong nararapat sa'yo ang mundo ngunit hindi ito nararapat sa iyo.

OO.5 | Nauubos ang nagmamahal, pero hindi nauubos ang pagmamahal. Marami ka pang kaya ibigay.

May mga taong nauubos, pero walang taong nauubusan ng pag-ibig. Nauubos ang taong nagmamahal dahil iniisip niyang natatapos ito sa kung hanggang saan lang ang kaya niyang ibigay. Love's ability goes beyond that. Ang totoong nagmamahal ay natuto munang magmahal ng sarili. At kung totoong minamahal mo ang sarili mo, hinding hindi ka mauubusan ng pag-ibig.

OO.6 | Makakabangon ka ulit. Walang duda.

Hindi natatapos ang lahat sa natapos na pag-ibig. Kahit gaano pa kabigat, kahit gaano ka pa patayin ng sakit, makakabangon at makakabangon ka ulit. Sa paraang alam mo na dahil sinanay ka na ng panahon, sa pinili mong paraan ng pagkalimot, o sa kung paano mo man pinilit gamutin ang lungkot.

I love Julia and Josh’s chemistry. It’s wonderful. They truly value and care for each other without any of the background baggage and it’s honestly so fucking refreshing. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I LOVE YOU HATER is like a burst of sunshine on a gloomy day, and a rain shower that cleanses the heart which allows for clarity. it is a story about truth - an individual’s sense of truth, relationship to the truth, how this truth is shaped, and how this truth is upheld or manipulated, according to one’s needs. this is also the journey to love, through one’s journey to authenticity. this is one of those movies that, if I missed, I didn’t think would matter. I am glad I gave it a chance and it would be a shame if this wouldn’t be given a chance.

to understand the genius of this movie is to have an idea of the audience reaction inside the cinema: people were laughing out loud line after line, the audience of mostly seniors were surprisingly kilig when they were supposed to be, and the crying, the sniffling, the heaving were all preciously audible. this, to me is the funniest romcom when it was a romcom, and one of the most deeply touching family dramas, when it became such, that I have seen yet.

joshua garcia pretending to be beki is enough of a comic selling point for me. frankly him in anything is enough for me, but the subtlety with which he played his straight man pretending to be gay, the guilt and everything that comes with it, is still surprising. I understand why he said this was the hardest character for him to play, the nuances are no joke, but he still played it so effortlessly.

this is julia barretto her most liberated. ever since she began I have been waiting for something from her, I couldn’t quite figure out what it is. this is it. she was fearless and vulnerable, and brave. and my heart was filled with joy for her.

I was so ready to call this a joshlia movie with Kris as a trigger, granted no one else could play sasha like she does, but there was one moment she owned, and it changed my mind.

kudos also go to markki stroem and mark neumann for the equally subtle portrayals of gay guys in a relationship.

when it was announced that this movie was going to be direk Giselle’s, I did not know what to make of it, only because LIT wasn’t enough for me to recognize her perspective. the magic of this movie is in the details, and the details are what direk giselle is a genius at - the direction (hello, ‘straight guy in the eyes, while being beki everywhere else), the camera angles, the shots, the editing. it’s all so seamless. see this movie has a very simple premise, that could do away with very simple cinematic treatment, but direk giselle respected every moment of the film, that she made an extraordinary experience out of simple moments. 

now, my favorite moments of the movie (this is hard, because every moment is memorable) the airport scene, gosh that hurt, beki josh, julia’s grand entrance, her energy, the manila pictorial, julia and her moment with al tantay (simple, quiet, but got to me badly). paete, takahan, (my laguna roots thank you for that), josh and ronaldo valdez, kris and ronaldo valdez, basically anything ronaldo valdez is in. i lost it. the confrontation between julia’s and josh’s characters - julia shocked me into intimidation. who i saw was an actress i always wanted her to be, an actress i always believed she could be. she wears her legacy well, but dare i say she could grow to be better than that legacy. i am so happy for her in this movie. and joshua, that boy continues to amaze me - from the boy that confused me to the boy i am actually personally proud of. 

the plot works because all the characters are mirrors of, and are necessary for each other. this is generally speaking, but the perfect illustration of this is when joko and zoe met up with john's character: in that silent moment when josh was looking at john while he was speaking, we knew john's character was speaking for josh's character's sentiments, that both characters are on parallel journeys. it's also clear that joko needed zoe to learn the value of the truth, and zoe needed joko to understand the sense of family. and sasha needed  and gave something to the youngsters: she gave zoe her wisdom through experience and she needed joko's connection with his own dad to get through her dad. I can here ms van's voice. in order for the story to be effective, a character must need something that the other character has. not verbatim. as a writer, you usually ask yourself what do your characters need from each other?

a few notes: i’d read a critique on the movie about its plot, being questionable, kulang(?) now, it would have mattered if this was a plot driven movie, but this is a character driven movie. it’s about a set of people who will choose to carry on, despite the incompleteness, the open-endedness of their circumstances. how to say this without spoilers? i wanted zoe to stick it to one character. i selfishly needed that confrontation. this movie, you see is as much about forgiveness, and i personally think forgiveness is impossible without ownership. and to own an experience, a feeling, a history, we must find words for it, and the people who are responsible for that history, or whatever pain they have caused, ought to hear about it. i am not looking for a fight, just a moment to speak, and be heard, but ms van’s post reminded me that the heart of this movie is forgiveness as self liberation, and the ability to love in spite of it all. through this lens that that open ending is perfect. this movie made me so happy, so hopeful, and by hearing certain lines, healed too. at a time when i am constantly wondering where my heart has gone, at a time when i have to hide my heart on purpose, and silence my voice, sometimes, this movie reminded me that i do have both - a heart and a voice. congratulations @v_r_v (this movie has got me wondering, what a joshlia movie penned entirely by you, much like eily was for lizquen, would look like. :) ), the entire team, (i don’t know their ig handles, sorry), and everyone at @starcinema. my heart has nothing but love and gratitude for you and all that you do.❤ @micodelrosario1

PAUBAYA-Music Video

This music video is a heart melting song because of the story behind it. Mararamdaman mo talaga yung sakit kahit na hindi mo siya naranasan. Sobrang effective nung song lalo na nung binigyan na ito ng buhay nina Julia Baretto at Joshua Garcia. You can actually feel the emotion of the two actors here, parang totoo yung iyak at yung pagbitaw ng mga linya kaya ganon nalang nagtrend ang kantang ito. And I also want to give all the credits to the singer Ms. Moira Dela Torre, without her there’s no such a heart melting song that we all hearing right now.

Do people actually think JoshLia was a legit love team?
