Dear Readers,
So
movie review. URGH. I’m just so ready to be done with this term. I am super
ready for vacation. Let us just do this.
So
the title is Sana Dati. A Filipino romantic movie (double sigh). I can do this.
I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.
Sana
Dati (English: If Only) is a 2013 Filipino romantic drama film written and
directed by Jerrold Tarog. The film is about a woman who stalls her big wedding
when a guy with a camera shows up and reminds her of a love she once had. It is
the final installment to Tarog's Camera trilogy that includes Confessional
(2007) and The Blood Trail (2009). The film competed under the Directors
Showcase sidebar of Cinemalaya 2013. The film won Best Film and other technical
awards at the festival's awards night. The film is a love story about a woman
named Andrea (Lovi Poe) whose wedding is thrown into disarray when a mysterious
guy, Dennis (Paulo Avelino) arrives and reminds her of the man she really loves.

This is so typical of a Filipino film. Sure
it is beautifully directed and has an awesome plot and story line but c’mon
man. I want more. I don’t want the BS stuff. I want something real and
concrete. I know it is a bit vague but I don’t know how else I’m going to say
it so yeah. I want movies that talks about everyday problems or a movie that
looks so simplistic but with further inspection is like an iceberg. I want
inspirational shit like the movie “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” or a gritty
movie like “The Shawshank Redemption”, those, my friends, are movies that I
would watch a million of times.
