Rewind

I've never been in movie houses since long time ago, more so for a Filipino movie. There's 3 movies that captures my attention to this year's MMFF namely Firefly, GomBurZa & Rewind. I got some resource to spend on for just 1 movie and so I decided to watch Rewind for a simple reason.. I have a soft spot for works of art relating to the gift of life & family for years now, and Rewind happens to have that based on its synopsis. Thankfully, it didnt disappoint.

This movie is a realization of faith, whether its faith to God and His plans, your loved one, or to your craft.. its a realization for all walks of life. And when it kicks in, it hits to the core.. and there's no holding back those tears.

Hands down to Dingdong, Marian & Pepe for portraying John, Mary & Jess/Lods respectively. The nominations are all well-deserved. And I wont have a single doubt if they actually won acting awards in the future for this. Nakakainis kayo! Halos kasisimula pa lang, parang sinisipon na ako. Buti na lang hindi ako nag-iisa, isang tulo, tingin o hikbi lang, nakakadala na..

Good word of mouth for the film definitely deserves it. It's a Filipino film that made my faith to Philippine drama close to what I hope it to be.

P. S. That subtle "Sa Susunod na Habang Buhay" instrumental bg music is well placed. It didnt felt too repetitive at all.. even though it was the only song I heard of being played all throughout the film. And when the vocals finally volumes up, wow! So satisfying! I liked it before and love it now.
