Thinking of how you've totally change in a single mistake is
not your fault. Thinking of how you wanted to go but can't, is really not a
choice. And here, finally you did come but the damage had been done and returning
when you are in pain is a hard challenge for you to be perfectly normal again.
You can't just sleep and in one single night, when you wake up you've change.
What happen to Lyda and Miggy in the past is a different
story in It Takes a Man and a Woman. This is reality, "Rainbows will never
form without a little rain." Same things went to test Lyda and Miggy's fate, temptations happened to Lyda in You've
Change My Life when the character of Rayver Cruz appear as Macoy, Lyda’s high
school best friend and now someone who is having a one-sided love for her, it didn't surpass Lyda and Miggy. Then,
Miggy's temptation is in this movie, where Isabelle Daza as Belle, Miggy's
ex-girlfriend came and went back with him.
Last April. 31, 2013, 2nd day of It Takes a Man and a Woman
directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina and
distributed by Star Cinema and Viva Films, starring John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah
Geronimo, I and my family watch it on free-seating. We are having a hard time
finding a seat for 6 and then we were given seat at the upper last left row. My
father is a fan of Lloydie and Sarah, well it is a rare occasion that even in
his 54 he still gets the teenage dream whenever he watch them together, we've followed
them since A Very Special Love, You've Change My Life until It Takes a Man and
a Woman. And every film is a different story. You really can't expect what is
going to happen next unless you watch it from the beginning to end.
It's a movie of reality, everything happens in the real
world. You love and fall, then happy moments, then complications and eventually
fall-out then break-ups, of course heartaches but soon you recover and decided
to continue living for your family. But our world is not that big, after all it
is round and there are always possibilities that halfway between you and your
mending heart here he comes again and all that barriers you put up will fall
and you will realize it wasn't enough. You tell yourself to move-on but you
haven't really accepted the fact that it is not as simple as you say it. Those
that happen in the past should stay in the past, of course not, because pause
is the beginning of the future without it the future is a mess.
I would like to emphasize the virtue that I've learned on
this film; Acceptance, to Forgive, and Give a Chance. Acceptance, what Lyda's
mother did to her father, she said that she realized that even if he did
something she still love him. Second, to Forgive is something that should be
done after you accept the fact that there are no perfect relationships in this
world, we all fall and learn then love again then tripped, it's a cycle of
love, of life. I also like to quote Lyda's mother, it is the best, I think,
line of the film when Lyda ask her on how to forgive: "Handa ka na ba?
Kase desisyon yan." (Are you willing? Because it is a decision.) Last,
Give a Chance, give him/her the benefit of the doubt. You shouldn't judge. What
you should do first is to listen, listen to an explanation, demand for it, and
if you are not satisfied that is the time you ask for time to think about it.
Also the story is not just about moving on, about making
others suffer or having many antagonists, the story is not all of those. The
story is about knowing what is really important, what we should chose when we
are in a midst of confusion, is it the dream we had to achieve or chose between
it and someone we love. The options are between your family and the one you
love, a real life story when your family needed you and at the same time your
love one is asking for you to be with them. I think this movie is a
masterpiece. The 3 films are a masterpiece.
And an A plus factor here other that the story of Lyda and
Miggy is the role of Joross Gamboa, Matet de Leon and Gio Alvarez,
they lighten up the mode of the denial ex couple. Joross, as John Rae really is a effective comedian, whenever
he do his puch lines evryone in the cinema laughs and they are like 3 little pigs,
with Zoila(Matet) and Vincent(Gio), they always lightens every drama in the
story.
So if you haven't watched it yet, you have the idea of
laughing at the same time crying. And that time I am amazed by the long lines
of people outside the cinema doors, good thing we've done watching it.
P.S. Finish it until the end, you might miss it, if you
leave early :)
