Story a bit dragging, was only engaged in the middle. Too many names made me a bit lost, and made my mind wander onto other, non-movie-related things. Cinematography and color-grading is awesome though, and so is the production design. I want my thesis to be colored like that! Or like Amelie. Hahaha.  <3 Had an I don’t care attitude towards girl in the start because of lack of flashback of girl and boy moments. I wouldn’t want to follow the story if I don’t know their ‘pinagsamahan’ ok. I need to know her motivation; why she loves guy so much. So at first I was frustrated and was mentally screaming at her to give up and move on. HAHA. Younger version of girl and guy and flashbacks are sweet and cute though, which made me root for them.  Nearly cried at the end; fulfilling ending. Sweet and sad and the music is lovely. Damn the war and its absurdity. Oh and why does Audrey tatou always have, um, detective-like roles? Amelie. Da vinci code. And this. But then again, people ARE always searching for some kind of truth. Or trying to hide them.

What I really want to comment on is THE PRODUCTION ITSELF. OMFG actually medyo nanghihinayang/nasasad ako kasi for all that work that was put in at hindi ko naman masyadong naappreciate yung movie itself, HAHA. Pero nung pinanood ko yung behind the scenes omgshet, saludo talaga. All that meticulous planning and execution was amazing. OMG ang yaman yaman nila.  From storyboards to locations to cg enhancements to special effects to extras (200! And more) to the production design..WOW. costumes palang for what, 200 people is so hard in itself. Tapos may made-for-the-movie wigs pa sila and mustaches. Plus yung prosthetics pa.. AMAZING. Tsaka yung coordination nung mga bomba. Use of the camera is love. Crane all the way, k! haha.  Tsaka omg yung market scene at paris scene at lighthouse shet ang hirap magcoordinate ng sandamakmak na mga taong yun a. oh and orchestra things! <3 tsaka would you believe nag tanim pa sila ng field of talahiban-like halaman/flower haha para sa less then 5 second na shot! Plus nagptunaw ng yelo para sa isang summer scene na shinoot nila during winter. Haay basta sobrang POWERFUL ng pagkakagawa nito. Sobrang hindi ko maimagine na ginagawa ng isang Philippine movie  huhu kelan kaya tayo mapupunta sa ganung lebel ano. LEVEL UP LEVEL UP LEVEL UP! Also, gusto ko sa thesis ko me establishing shot ako na gumagamit ng helicopter hahahaha maarte right. magthesis nalang kaya ako na ang title ay a very wrong engagement hahaha.

I definitely have to stop writing like a Bridget Jones merged with a bangag writer-wannabe has-been.
