Love While You Can (2021)

This mid-length Pinoy-produced film left me with a slightly conflicted impression. The small minus is mainly that I didn't really believe the actors' renunciation, although I have to admit that the former karate player, basketball player, singer and model Migs Villasis looks very pleasant, but it's just my feeling, others they can rate the acting as a ten. But everything else this time was above average and more or less professional when I compare with the Philippine average. The music, processing, photography for the film, which raised more expectations in me than what I got from the actors, but above all the motto that I described in the Tributes to the film is very powerful, important, and that is why the story has such a high rating from me. .. although ... everything is kind of messed up, upside down, and many may find the conclusion strange.


Tento středně dlouhý film z produkce pinoy na mě působil mírně rozporuplným dojmem. To malé mínus je především v tom, že jsem hereckým hvězdám to odříkávání moc neveřil, i když se musím přiznat, že na bývalého karatistu, basketbalistu, zpěváka a modela Migs Villasis-e se dívá moc příjemně, ale je to jen můj pocit, jiní mohou hodnotit herectví třeba i za deset. Vše ostatní ale bylo tentokrát nadprůměrné a víceméně profi, když porovnávám s filipínským průměrem. Hudba, zpracování, fotografie k filmu, které ve mě navodily větší očekávání, než jsem od herců dostal, ale především to motto, které jsem popsal v Pobrodnostech k filmu, je velice mocné, důležité, a proto má příběh ode mě hodnocení tak vysoké ... i když ... všechno je jaksi zamotané, vzhůru nohama a na mnohé může působit závěr divně.

Break Up While You Can

Content Warnings: tragedy

Overall: I absolutely hated the "moral" of the story which is to stay in a non-working relationship and hope that magically one day it gets better (spoiler alert, that very rarely happens in real life)

What I Liked
- I think basically everything was well done like production, acting, etc. I recognized one actor from In Between.

Room For Improvement
- I really disliked the terrible "moral". This couple had a huge deal breaker in their relationship which was shown to be a problem that they both acknowledged. They should have broken up, not spent 5 years being unhappy with the other person. Breaking up isn't necessarily bad, it can be the best thing for one or all people involved...
