FILM REVIEW: REUNION

All of us would like to have a good past memories. As we all know high school life is the crucial part of becoming into grown-ups teenager. Once you enter high school things change, "some of your best friends become bitches. Homework goes in the trash; cell phones are being used in class. Detention becomes suspension, soda becomes beer, and gum becomes pot. Bikes become cars. Lollipops become cigarettes. Lip-gloss becomes makeup. French kisses become sex." High school can become the best or worst years of your life. Of course as we grow older and will be attending homecoming, all of us would want to reminisce good memories. This movie is represented by the main cast namely Enchong Dee as Lloyd, Xian Lim as Joax, Enrique Gil as Boggs and Kean Cipriano as Pat. Together with their leading ladies Jessy Mendiola as Ali, Megan Young as Toyang, Julia Montes as Ligaya, Bangs Garcia as Shirley and Cristine Reyes as Ara. The story goes around with them. Each has its own funny, exciting and challenging love story which is paramount to watch about. This Filipino teen comedy film is directed by Frasco Mortiz and distributed by Star Cinema released last August 2012.

This movie is about four men who are best friends since high school. Enchong Dee as Lloyd is seen to be nerdy and conservative. Xian Lim as Joax is distinguished to be boastful. Enrique Gil as Boggs is known to be womanizer. Then Kean Cipriano as Pat is identified to be a music lover. They have realized that each other has a feeling of not moving on through their ex-girlfriends because of the bad past or memories they did way back in high school. Several years later they wanted to find the true meaning of love and happiness as they decided to meet again for a reunion. They have their own journey to find their true love.

The main theme of the movie deals about life and love. Life is about making mistakes and learning from them, nobody's perfect, we are all different in our own way.

    This film deals with the social problem of racism in America. From the very beginning of the movie scenes depicting the harassment of a rural African American family by a group of so called Christian Ku Klux Klansmen show the horrors of racism. These black people had their home burned down, and their father and provider murdered by these so called “god-fearing” people. This injustice also led to the family being torn apart due to the murder of their financial provider. These scenes exemplify the problem of racism because, even though the head of this black family was blatantly assaulted and murdered, the institutional racism of the society in which that family lived, prevented them from seeing justice. The movie is about how a son of this family grows up and constantly deals with racism through his life until he converts to the Nation of Islam and works hard to better the situation and condition of his people.…

    Usually, movies like this would end like the boy gets the girl. That even the girl did not want a serious relationship or did not believe in love at first, in the end it will all change and they’ll live happily ever after. Instead they showed how people or rather the guy struggle to go through his life after his dream girl dumped him. I think that’s their unique selling point. Showing the realness, the real struggle and the choices we make in life. Either give in with the pain or let go and move on. Which is too embarrassing for anyone to share, but this film will make people realize that they’re not alone and that it is normal.…

    Compared with oriental people’s implicit quest for freedom and truth, people in western countries are more direct which means that they pursue their goals through practice. The book, Into the Wild, tells a story about a guy who had a philosophical journey. The book shows a process of a person’s spiritual growth: from the yearning for the absolute freedom, a kind of irrepressible impulse and force, to the yearning for the happiness. Maybe, at beginning, what Chris McCandless pursuing was the happiness, but he hadn’t realized it yet. But finally, he realized it.…

    There is a profound essence of self sacrifice, beliefs, and symbolic patterns within the plot. As I evaluated the film, I found that it definitely had several moral statements that would “persuade us to apply the principles in our own lives.” (Boggs & Petrie, p 17) I perceived this to be a concept of, stay true to your beliefs, humanity, and moral obligations. I also found the overall film along with the characters to incorporate social problems and the truth of human nature. “Because those characters are representative of humanity in general, they serve as a cinematic vehicle to illustrate some widely or universal acceptable truth about human nature”. (Boggs & Petrie, p…

    After watching the movie Zombieland I noticed that it was a very gory film, but I didn’t find it scary just very disgusting. It was interesting to see that only a hand full of humans survived the violence from the zombies. In the movie Columbus struggled to survive because before the zombies took over he was full of anxiety and was very fearful of being around people. He made a list of things on what to do to survive in the world, but the zombies overrode everything that was on his list. For example the comedy part in the movie had to do with these items that he has listed like, #1 Cardio- he said that if you can’t run then you can’t outrun a bear just your buddy and he said that the fatties were among the first to go because they are easy to catch. A few of the other list was “Beware of the bathroom” and always “Double tap.” That’s more of a comedy part of the movie. Columbus had other things that he had written on his list that made me laugh and that were very comical in the entire movie. The horror part of the movie had to do with the character Tallahassee was the guy that no one wanted to mess with, his job was shooting and killing zombies he had more of the horror parts of this movie and his character clearly enjoyed killing these zombies. But in all of this violence all he really wanted was his twinkles. This film was a lot of fun, but the ending dragged on they could have cut out a few scene.…
