Beautifully enumerated! I actually had s...@ Jason:<br /><br />Beautifully enumerated! I actually had so many other issues about plot holes but I got lazy just writing about it. So... in the spirit of completion, I can add a few more.<br /><br />1. Coco gets thrown to jail for something akin to estafa. Isn't this unbailable? He doesn't have a case merely against the people he owe money to, but the banks as well. Then what happens when he gets off jail? His wrath exponentially increases. Instead of being grateful for getting off jail sodomy, he drives himself to a boulder!<br /><br />2. When he finds Angeline unconscious, he doesn't even exert the effort to check her condition. Guilt? Probably so, but its beyond thoughtlessness to not care at all how your girlfriend is doing. What despicable creature populate our romcoms these days. Mga walang modo. Now who can sympathize with someone as stupid?<br /><br />3. He magically locates Angeline's purse at the bottom of the ocean! Such situation should be like finding needle in a haystack yet he amazingly, magically finds the wallet! Talk about fantasy adventure.<br /><br />4. Who would believe that Angeline could translate any foreign word to English when she can even hardly enunciate simple phrases from the Queen's language? Exposing a "blind performer" to her weaknesses puts emphasis to the filmic insight of this film makers and Quinto's "very smart" handlers. Star Cinema wants to "manufacture" another Sarah Geronimo distinctly forgetting that Geronimo wasn't made overnight. She paid "extra" duties to so many Viva Films in the past before she eventually merited a lead role. Mapakla tuloy!<br /><br />5. Coco Martin's producing duties is more economics than an artistic endeavor (he did the same for "Noy"). He probably thought he could cash in on Quinto's charms - or the lack of it. <br /><br />6. I remember Bea Alonzo's Dianne for Laurice Guillen's "Sa Yo Lamang" because that was a character brimming with hatred for the father who turned his back from his family - only to return years later. Coco's wrath is similar to Bea's, but there's a grave difference between Alonzo's layered performance and Martin's full throttle "labas-litid" anger. You totally understand Bea's, who provides succinct empathy not found in Coco Martin's. Now there's the bid difference between class and otherwise.<br /><br />Thanks for enumerating them, Jason. I should have done that! :)Cathy Penahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208160859321153472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954980542950250593.post-2284992629229162762012-06-13T12:24:38.716+08:002012-06-13T12:24:38.716+08:00this movie gave me a migraine. there are so many l...this movie gave me a migraine. there are so many loopholes and illogical things. some of which (i cant remember all) include:<br /><br />1 - noong babalik na sina Angeline sa Maynila, nagbyahe na daw sila ng maaga kasi maaga daw flight nila. and then, Coco wins them back. Ano yun? nagtapon ng pera sa pambili ng ticket? were they using house money or their personal money? yaman niyo ha!<br /><br />2 - nagwala si coco because he had a talk with his stepdad... he turned the tables, etc. and angeline comes... who annoyingly segues to asking, "ano ba talaga tayo, rex?" di ba makapaghintay ang paglalandi? kita mo ng nag-i-emo yung lalaki about family matters, saka ka sisingit<br /><br />3 - nabulag si coco. tapos nagtago! naghira pa ng "private investigator" ang nanay niya para matunton siya, pero di siya mahanap? isnt it logical to look for all the hospitals near the site of the accident? for a wealthy family, di ba nila kayang manawagan sa mass media?<br /><br />4 - related sa #3, tapos, for someone na "nagtatago," pakalat kalat si Coco sa may Taal? (and he got there alone! kudos, for a blind man to reach that place alone), and then, biglang makikita ni Angeline ng ganun ganun na lang?<br /><br />5 - for someone who uses his eyes since childhood (photography), that's how Coco reacts to blindness? calmness? may parusa sa sarili pang nalalaman? you'd go crazy, man! you've been doing photography all your life and you lose your vision!<br /><br />6 - angeline prefers to first bring coco to some braille school kesa dalhin siya muna sa nanay ni coco! ano yun???<br /><br />PS: I saw Coco Martin's real name (Rodel Nacenciano) in the list of Executive Producers. Really, Coco? This is your idea of a good mainstream film worth investing in? After all your international acclaim, this is the kind of film you would be glad to be exec prod of?<br /><br />-jason laxamanaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954980542950250593.post-34680951680411707722012-06-04T21:53:04.408+08:002012-06-04T21:53:04.408+08:00@ Jelai:
I don't know why it's essential ...@ Jelai:<br /><br />I don't know why it's essential to have these actors speak the Queen's language when they are too ill at ease with it. It only exposes their weakness. It's alright to speak the vernacular because Tagalog is a beautiful language. <br /><br />Imagine Angeline Quinto playing the role of an English translator? It's clearly too much of a stretch for her. In fact, her handlers wouldn't allow reporters and journalists to interview her in English. Toothache daw!

He's just so terrible at speaking the language. Angeline too. Get it?jelaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15236214745092290129noreply@blogger.com
