GMA News Online reviews IN THE NAME OF LOVE of ABS CBN’s Star Cinema
Here are some of the excepts: (Bakit hindi nila ginagawan ng review ang sarili nilang GMA Films)
1. “Instead In The Name of Love uses flashbacks like crazy, with the camera focusing on an object of the past (the music box, the keychain) which dissolves into a flashback.”
2. “It was too magical realist for comfort, out of place in such a serious narrative, and elicited laughter in the almost filled theater.”
3. “It’s here where the flashbacks became messy.”
4. “Scenes were interspersed with each character’s breakdown monologue, and none of it was needed.:
5. “A good script would’ve sufficed, but here we were forced to look at images: what really happened the last time Emman and Cedes saw each other, Cedes becoming a dancer / a mistress / a prostitute, Cedes dancing for the governor’s family.”
6. “The flashbacks also fail the good acting that’s here. ”
7. “The only thing worse than the device of the flashback is this movie’s script.”
8. “There’s something wrong when a filled theater laughs at Emman saying that he’s too old for this game of unfinished business with Cedes: a laughter that’s really about the narrative not quite dealing with this fact of age. The audience laughed too when Emman auditioned to be Cedes’ dance instructor and did some OA dancing for good measure. They laughed too when with a gunshot wound, Emman speed drove to save Cedes’ life but was able to put on a coat before getting out of the car.”
9. “This movie bit off more than it could chew, happiness and sadness, real love and social realism, the contemporary political landscape, included. “
wow……..galing mo tlga angel………..
Wow, in 2 weeks 89.87 M,,it’s really great!!Congrats in the name of love :)-
