Revolutionary Road


If being crazy means living life as if it matters, then I don't mind being completely insane.- April Wheeler

This a story of two people (husband and wife) trying to make their lives better. this includes living their so-called suburban lifestyle and dream big in Paris. This film tackles giving up a dream, maturity, decisions and starting all over again.

Surely Kate Winslet and Leo's acting supremacy made this film better. (matured couple which is way too different from their Titanic days)They both give an stunning performance and portraing the "real" image of the real marriages and relationships. This is a must see film for those who thrive for an emotional involvement because it not only will open up their eyes, but will make them think twice. Its a great film. The Academy will see all these and realize that there is no other way to put it or perform the reality of marriages and what we all call: "love". This is why there would never be a sequel to "pretty woman", because after that, it would all go down hill from there and there is not such thing as: "Happily Ever After" thing.

Love in Time of Cholera

 
a book of Gabriel García Márquez
A love story of an unrequited love of Florentino Ariza to Fermina Daza.

In the late 1800s, in a Caribbean port city, a young telegraph operator named Florentino Ariza falls deliriously in love with Fermina Daza, a beautiful student. She is so sheltered that they carry on their romance secretly, through letters and telegrams. When Fermina Daza's father finds out about her suitor, he sends her on a trip intended to make her forget the affair. Lorenza Daza has much higher ambitions for his daughter than the humble Florentino. Her grief at being torn away from her lover is profound, but when she returns she breaks off the relationship, calling everything that has happened between them an illusion.

Instead, she marries the elegant, cultured, and successful Dr. Juvenal Urbino. As his wife, she will think of herself as "the happiest woman in the world." Though devastated by her rejection, Florentino Ariza is not one to be deterred. He has declared his eternal love for Fermina, and determines to gain the fame and fortune he needs to win her back. When Fermina's husband at last dies, 51 years, 9 months, and 4 days later, Florentino Ariza approaches Fermina again at her husband's funeral. There have been hundreds of other affairs, but none of these women have captured his heart as Fermina did. "He is ugly and sad," says one of his lovers, "but he is all love."

In this magnificent story of a romance, Garcia Marquez beautifully and unflinchingly explores the nature of love in all its guises, small and large, passionate and serene. Love can emerge like a disease in these characters, but it can also outlast bleak decades of war and cholera, and the effects of time itself.

Love in the time of Cholera. Love is like a disease that plagues the body....

I can relate so much with Florentino Ariza. (Please see my previous post... the black book...:D). Her devotion to Fermina is the worst. He even prays on top of the lighthouse verynight hoping she'll be back soon. He waited and waited even though it took him 53 freaking years. and in the midst of waiting, he had some quite few endeavors 622 women to be exact before he won her back. Her friend even said that he was successful with women, he explained no, these women only sees him as a safe person, which i feel i had been all this time. hehe.( i forgot this is review is not about me)

In this movie, Love was compared to a disease. A disease that can only be cured the by love itself.

20 Signs that you are Watching a Pinoy Movie



1.  Sasayaw ang loveteam sa likod ng puno ng buko kapag nasa beach ang eksena. Alternate na lalabas ang ulo nila from behind the puno.


2. Ang kontrabidang babae yayakap sa bidang lalaki, sabay taas ng kilay at ngingisi.

3. Ang pansit, nagdadala ng malas. Uuwi ang bida na may dalang pansit para sa kanyang nanay na si Anita Linda. Tatawagin ng bida ang mga bata para kumain at kukumustahin niya ang pag-aaral ng mga bata habang kumakain sila. Biglang may titigil na sasakyan sa harap ng bahay at pauulanan ng bala ang pamilya. Mamamatay si Anita Linda at sisigaw ang bida ng “Inaaayyyy!!!” at mangangakong ipaghihigante ito. Moral of the eksena: Ang pansit ay nakakamatay.


4. Kapag may magkaribal na babae, ‘yung mabait derecho ang buhok at may bangs. ‘Yung salbahe, laging kulot.

5. Sa Pinoy action movies, ang bida hindi nauubusan ng bala.


6. Sa Pinoy action movies, kapag tumakbo ang bida, sa lupa lahat ang tama ng bala ng kalaban.


7. Kapag may mob na pupunta sa bahay kubo ng manananggal, si Vangie Labalan ang laging lider.


8. Alam mong moment of truth na kapag sinabi ng bida ang title ng pelikula (sample: Isang Bala Ka Lang or Kapag Puno na Ang Salop).


9. Ang tawag ng kontrabida sa kanyang mga goons, “Mga bata.”


10. ‘Yung nakababatang kapatid ng bida habang naglalaro, mabibitiwan ang bola at mapupunta sa gitna ng kalsada. Pagkatapos, may darating na sasakyan at itutulak ng bida ang bata at ‘yung bida ang papagitna ng kalsada. Naka-cross ang arms ng bida who is covering his face. Sisigaw ang bata ng, “Kuyaaa!” Next scene: Nasa ospital sila. Simula na ng drama.

11. Kapag bakbakan, hindi nasasaktan ang bida pero umaaray siya kapag ginagamot na siya ng leading lady. Next scene: Nagla-love-making na sila.


12. Kapag sinabi ng kontrabida sa bida ang masama niyang plano , sasabibin ng bida, “Hayop ka!”

13. Ang bidang babae, kapag katulong ang role siguradong iri-reveal ng amo na anak siya nito.


14. Ang nanay ng mayaman ay laging may pamaypay na pang-mayaman at ang nanay ng mahirap ay laging naka-duster.

15. Ang hideout ng kontrabida ay parating mansyon na may chicks na naka-hilira sa paligid ng pool.


16. Ang mga bida sa drama, kapag nakatanggap ng masamang balita laging may pinto sa likod nila para puede sila sumandal habang nag-i-slide dahan-dahan pababa, todo iyak at kung minsan with matching uhog.


17. Kapag hindi nahuli ng mga goons ang bida, sasabihin ng boss sa kanila, “Mga inutil!”


18. Laging nakakapulot ng baril na may bala ang bida kapag kinakailangan niya.

19. Laging mas maganda ang yaya ng bida kaysa sa kontrabidang anak ng amo niya.



20. Kapag ang ending ng movie ay song-and-dance number sa beach o sa resort, ang huling frame shows the cast na tumatalon, sabay freeze.
