Through heartbreaks and hardships- there is still self worth

By: Rhea Pascua

Ulan by Direk Irene Villamor is already showing on cinemas, starring Nadine Lustre and Carlo Aquino, and I must say that I made the right decision of watching it  This movie proved how the Filipino movies have evolved through generations. I ,myself, is not a fan of such movies for I think that it will be somehow boring in most parts. But I was wrong. A lot of assumptions were made, not just by me, but of most people even before the movie aired on screen.

Nadine Lustre has shown her great side in acting. Not just a beaut, but a really wonderful actress, not most of us didn’t expect. The final results of Cinematography, the acting of all the actors and actresses, Symbolism and Visuals were all made to perfection to come up with the over all great scoring for the movie. 

A movie which has been in process for 10 years has finally came to reality. Direk Irene Villamor must be pleasured and grateful to have such wonderful movie. Her chosen leading and supporting characters did not fail her. Ulan, is not our usual Pinoy love story. It is about self love, on how one must give importance to herself and understand all her worth despite all of the heartbreaks and hardships. I can say that is such a poetic movie. Each of the characters really has significant roles to give specific messages that will really struck to the audiences. 

Carlo Aquino and Nadine Lustre’s chemistry on screen is really something superb. Who would have thought that such individuals will make such a very good tandem. This movie is a must watch for everyone who have suffered because of love.
