The movie was nice, It's a movie I'll remember, It's an experience i won't forget.
It's the first time i get to watch a cinemalaya movie and I'm happy with my choice. Indie film i think aren't actually that popular
here in the Philippines unlike when its in an international scene. "Ligo nau, Lapit na me" is quite sexy for me,but it actually came from a book with the same name.
It's a novel by Mr. Eros Atalia, I actually like him as an author, even though i didn't actually read his books, it always caught my attention,
like "peksman" and "Ligo na u, Lapit na me". The Director Mr.Erick C. Salud i believe was the perfect choice because the film turn out
to be really good, and the scriptwriter was just lovely the script was so good, it's catchy and humourous, the actors was so good,
i believe they play the story right, and they were so nice, when i met them last night.
I watched the movie with my friend Trish, when we were buying the tickets earlier that day, i was kind of late on our schedule which was 1 pm, i arrived at 2.15pm-ish, and there were only 2 tickets left and I'm still the 3rd person in line and i was so nervous that i won't be able to get the ticket, but Thank God, i got the ticket and i was so happy(overjoyed!), we planed to go there as early as 8pm even though the starts at 9pm, when i arrived there my friend wasn't there yet, so, i wait for her i got to see the museum, where every movie has it's own shrine, after that i go up the big staircase and saw that there was a very long line, i just got inline even though i don't know whats the line for, when i realize that i was piratically lining for no apparent reason, i asked the person behind me what was the line for then she answered it was for the movie, i was just thankful and i just line because i saw the line behind and it was pretty long. after a couple of minutes my friend arrived, of course i told her that she was late, but it's okay. we got inside the theater, and wait for the screening, so many stars/artist came to watch and support the movie and the director, my friend and i were saying that "We just came to see stars/artist" even though we didn't anticipate to see any, we found it rather funny and we were actually happy, we saw so many Kapuso, Kapatid and Kapamilya stars but all in all i think was most happy when i saw Mr. Pen Medina, and i even got a picture with him, i just idolize him so much. before the movie there was speech from the producer, the director and some good words from the "Literary Treasure of the Philippine" (i actually for got his name, sorry.) then the movie starts.
After the movie, the theater was sounding with applause's for the author, director, staff and the artist who were part of the movie we only have good praises for them. after the movie my friend and i got to do what we called "artista sightseeing" and even got some pictures with them, like i said before i got my picture taken with Mr. Pen Medina, the director, author and the two stars of the film they were so nice, and i even got the chance to congratulate them. My friend and i got our groove on and took pictures everywhere, the poster, the staircase, the wall and the museum, all in all it was a fun night and an experience i wouldn't want to forget. (i think ill do this every Cinemalaya, ill support them)
The movie deserve a 4 1/2 star, for it was real and timely, modern and classic at the same time. (but, what do i know?)
