Movie Review: Kita Kita
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kita Kita. (I see you)
First off i want to congratulate the cast and crew of this film. GOOD JOB!
This review will be short like me and Empoy. I will try not to spoil a thing so don't worry!
One, the story. It is a predictable type of love story (for me ok?) I kind of predicted the end but I did not expect the feels. Like seriously I was like 'oh f*** no sh**'. Having a story like this in the Philippine cinema is like gambling a lot. People are not used in this kind of story in my opinion, but I love how the story went.
Two, the sequence. 2 things came into my mind, 1st, the feeling for me was like watching Christopher Nolan's film where in the movie, the past, the present and the future simultaneously meet. I like how they presented it, it was not boring, it did not made me yawn and I have to hold my bladder to not miss any scenes! 2nd it was unique. Im tired of how movies were presented today in the Philippine Cinema.
Three, the characters. Tonyo and Lea were the most notable characters for me in there. I asked myself what if Piolo Pascual or John Lloyd Cruz portrayed Tonyo? There will be "kilig" feels but it will not be so much "kilig" on how Empoy portrayed Tonyo. The way Empoy presented it was so natural, he was quick witted, funny and amazing. Alesandra who portrayed Lea was also awesome, I do have a crush on Alessandra since High School! Seeing her in the movie got me excited. Her portrayal in the movie was believable. I remembered Charlie Coxx from the Netflix Daredevil right away. I won't explain any further to not spoil anything.
Four, the music. It was chill type, especially when the Two Less Lonely People in The World plays with KZ Tandingan's cold voice queues. God, it was perfect, the score and everything. Where is the OST ? Hit me up in the comment section please?
Five, the cinematography. The long shots, the camera panning, the bokeh-ish shots, uggghhh it was amazing. It was comforting and it was done professionally and by that it resulted on serving the story well. Notable scene for me there is the house of Lea and Tonyo. It both showed how the world is to Lea, showed the world how the world is to Tonyo and showed the world how the world is with both Lea and Tonyo.
Six, the setting. You can really tell if a movie was made here in the Philippines or if it is outside our country. Well this one it was made in Japan. All throughout it was shot in Japan. It was a brave attempt for the filmmakers to spend money on a film that is kind of experimental. Also my dream place is Japan!
Seven, the Feels. It was striking, it was funny, it was heart breaking, it was exciting, it was thrilling, it has everything that I could ask for in a love story movie. One notable feel for me in this film was it was funny. The way Lea laughed so natural when Tonyo is cracking some jokes. It was natural.
Eight, the effect. You know how a movie is successful when it is still the talk of the town. The effect of that film still bugs me. It also changed how the people viewed Empoy. Like how the society today has been searching for the boy next door who is cute or handsome, but in reality it is the nice, romantic and funny guy that we need.
Nine, the message. The message of the film to the people was simple but yet they presented it uniquely. The message was just "You did not notice me when you were able to see me, but when you were not able to see, you actually saw who I really am." Love is blind, it doesn't matter if you are short, skinny, ugly, beautiful, sexy, and fat. What matters most is the person inside. Looks fade, but who we are inside will remain no matter what. This film will teach you how to love and how to love again.
Ten, the chemistry. I don't know about you but I saw a great chemistry between Alex and Empoy. It was amazing. It was like they defeated KathNiel, LizQuen and many more. AlemPoy is the new loveyeam of 2017 #AlemPoy. I will never see another movie again of Alex without Empoy as her leading man. Who would've thought that Captain Blu will be a leading man today named Tonyo.
So I gave this film a 5 out of 5, it deserve that score! A romantic comedy that didn't go mainstream for actors and actresses and a story that isn't the usual, predictable yet didn't leave us hanging, it was satisfyingly heart achingly good.
