No doubt that In My Life is an excellent movie with a touching screenplay and heart-wrenching twists.
Let me say heart-wrenching again.
The movie is one of the most excellent movies that I have seen but it's also one that I would hesitate to watch again. The first time I watched the movie, it made my heart break that I didn't finish it. For me, it was so sad.
The Star for all Seasons proved that she still has not lost her luster even after spending most of her time working as governor of Batangas. She was such an effective actress. I don't know if anyone noticed but when I watched the movie, I could feel the external effort to be loud and expressive and like many mothers, they have this inner
emotional pains that almost nobody knows. She seems weak but she's trying to be strong and the unfortunate events that fall on her are just sad.If there's anything about this movie, it's the depth. There's depth in the portrayal of roles. There are two layers that could be strongly felt. There's depth in the story, it's almost whole.
One controversy surrounding this movie is the gay kiss that John Lloyd and Luis shared in this movie. I am impressed. The kiss is nowhere malicious - just loving. It wasn't torrid and there's no need for it. The simple kiss coupled with the other emotions of care, love, hope and worry -- it's artistic. It's not a screen kiss made to cause talk for the movie.
Do I praise this movie so much? Maybe because this movie deserves it. All praises for the actors and all the people behind this movie.
What do you think of the movie?
