Same Situation, Different Reaction

Actors who have lasted for several years in the industry all have one thing in common, that is, they have survived all the curses, praises, anger, joy, and other emotions directed at them by their respective directors. Only those who have strong hearts have managed to stay long enough. Those who are onion-skinned surely would have opted for other careers.

When Skilled Actress (SA) was signed up for a project, much was expected from her, her co-stars, and the production. Judging on the publicity materials, the producers did not scrimp on the budget for their project. Hence, with such support from investors, the least the director could do is to bring out the best from all the stars. Here lies the problem. Although SA has worked with the best directors in her career, she seemed to be groping during the initial filming of the project.

In most of her scenes, SA had to act with a New Talent (NT), who started in the business only recently. NT, however, has been noticed for her acting skills and pleasant looks, which are reasons why she has various projects. Given that SA and NT have just recently become acquainted, they still could not achieve a certain chemistry required by the scenes. The instructions were clear, but the two could not get their act together. Predictably, the two got a mouthful from the head and were told to shape up.

SA and NT were subjected to the same words and actions, their reactions were opposite. SA allegedly threatened to back out, but NT took the sermon as a challenge to improve her craft. The reaction of SA did not surprise the people who heard it, as SA has a record of being difficult in some of her projects. Thus, the long break did not really change SA apparently.

As SA mulled the idea of backing out, someone whispered to her that in case she proceeds with her plans, she would be charged with the cost of the scenes she had done as well as the possibility of a breach of contract suit. Thus, her attitude would result in dire consequences that would harm her pocket and her reputation. If SA had quit, the possibility of getting a project given the tough competition nowadays would make it hard for her to get a new one. Any producer would opt for a talent who is younger, more talented, and more pleasant to work with compared with SA.

When SA learned that the possible charge was roughly a six-figure amount, she suddenly had a change of heart and just decided to take everything in stride. Besides, this project is meant for her and thus, she should be patient and give her best. Often, SA still thinks she still has the same influence eons ago when she was on top of her game.

Movie Review: Love is Blind

Image courtesy of www.cinemabravo.com

Main Cast: Derek Ramsay, Solenn Heussaff, Kiray Celis and Kean Cipriano
Director: Jason Laxamana
MTRCB Rating: G

The movie centers its story on the beauty-challenged Fe/Felicity ( Kiray ), an NBZB or ‘no boyfriend since birth' girl.

Fe's predicament is not her choice, obviously, for she wants to love and be loved in return - desperately.

Then she meets Wade (Derek), and Fe's life is never the same again. She wants Wade so bad and will do everything to have him. Yari (Kian), Fe’s colleague who interestingly is into love potion business comes to the rescue. Together, the two become partners in crime, concocting all sorts of potions with one goal in mind – to get Wade for Fe, at all costs!

Meanwhile, Wade has personal issues of his own, too. A beauty and glamor- obssesse career guy, he is dissatisfied with his girlfriend Maggie (Solenn), who, although pretty, is too plain for his taste. She would not be a hot, trophy girlfriend he wants her to be. Add to that is Wade's father’s insistence that he takes up the cudgels and look after their farming and agriculture business, something that classy Wade detests so much.

Meanwhile, Yari’s love potions which Fe paid a fortune for start to take effect on Wade as he sees her very pretty and looking like the love of his life. Fe or Felicity as Wade loves to call her, naturally grabs the sudden manna from heaven. She not only wants to have Wade come into her life and reciprocate her feelings, but more! Did she succeed?

Well, the movie succeeds in its goal to elicit laughter, for indeed, the viewers are treated to a gamut of funny human emotion, to a kind of comedy that doesn't make fun of LGBT’s this time… at least that is refreshing.

The young director Jason Laxamana also succeeds in bringing out the best in Kiray’s generally OA brand of comedy, for she did deliver, to be fair. Ditto with ex-couple Derek and Solenn who apart from being 'delicious' to watch, are a natural, with hardly any awkwardness in their intimate scenes together. Now, that is a treat.

But the twists in the story will also make you think on how a supposedly middle-aged guy like Wade can be so unbelievably shallow in his choices and decisions in life, much like a confused fresh college graduate yet to prove his worth. Oh well…

In the end, how the protagonists will deal with their issues and the truth in between will take both predictable and surprising turns.

As a whole, with all the stress gripping us everyday, Love Is Blind is still well worth your time and popcorn.
