Catching up on movies I missed
January 13th, 2008 by kwentongbayan
I went DVD shopping just before Christmas and finally got hold of two movies that I have missed, that everybody is raving about. Devil Wears Prada and Stardust. Kerek. I’m such a looossuurrh. Kaya nakakamiss ang maging isang estudyante. Dati rati’y nakaisked na ang Wednesday para sa sine.
So ayun nga, eh di in-on ko na yung TV pati yung DVD player. Eh di nag-on na nga…toooot…
Devil Wears Prada. Sobrang taas lang siguro ng expectations ko. When it was shown i thought it was that sort of teeny bopper. Probably because may hangover pa ako ng Princess Diaries. At naamaze talaga ako na it merited a nomination for Emily Blunt, and nothing less than an Oscar for Meryl Streep.
But I was quite disappointed with the ending. I think I still wish some cheesy moments, perhaps Miranda confessing to have started as some struggling newbie like Andrea. But the film was just cold and blunt. The Devil simply is a devil. But it’s good. I liked it still.
Stardust. I used to be a big fan of Claire Danes. Sa kabila ng kanyang panlilibak sa Pilipinas eh pinanood ko pa din ang Brokedown Palace. At slightly pinagtatanggol ko pa sya. Haha. kaya sobrang nakakatuwa ang kanyang comeback playing major roles in notable movies. And yeah, I still am a fan. But not as big as before. Haha.
Sobra akong natuwa sa Stardust. Simple lang ang mga twist pero nakakaaliw. It’s not trying to be complicated just for the sake of being complicated. May fairy tale feel pa sya para sa akin, in a more sophisticated level. Neil Gaiman pa ito (na hindi ko pa nabasa ever because Ive always had the impression na he’s a complicated reading). Which tells me I should start reading him. At sobra lang talagang nakakamesmerize si Claire Danes. Sa kabila ng hindi maikukubling katandaan. Hay.
At nakakaaliw ang baklang Robert De Niro. Kahit na isang malaking playtime ang kanyang whoopsie act. Ang nakakairita, ay ang mga multong commentators. Isa pa syang malaking playtime din para sa akin.
Weird lang talaga ang poster ng Stardust.
Bakit nasa poster yung lightning trader na asawa nung witch? Waddahell? At wala si Charlie Cox sa billing. Banking on the big names lang talaga.
Saka syempre, it all boils down to love. May magandang quotable quote lang akong hindi makalimutan:
(Yvaine talking to Tristan who was turned into a mouse by the witch mistess of his mother)
What I’m trying to say Tristan, is, I think I love you. My heart, it feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it doesn’t belong to me anymore, it belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I’d wish for nothing in exchange. No gifts. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just you heart, in exchange of mine.
Yaaay! Sana pwedeng maging daga ang ibang tao. Yun na.
