The Evolution of Philippine Entertainment Begins: 2014

The primary concept of the Philippine television has long been unmovable. For a long time, media and entertainment revolved around the traditional Philippine stories; these stories having the same characteristics. Namely, rich versus the poor, love between master and maid, orphans, and many others which you can find under your grandma's bed. However, after watching this 'certain' movie, I began to have hope for the Filipino's fictitious state of mind. Because of this movie, I said to myself "The wait is over. The Filipino's creative mind has set out again.".

For the title of this movie, well, the title says it all. However, the title talks about the story in a less spoiling way. It talks about the story with professionalism unlike amateur titles which can readily make you conclude the story. This movie that I'm talking about, this movie that could probably make a big-screen history in 2014, this movie which was written by Carmi Raymundo, and was brought to life by Olivia M. Lamasan, this movie is none other than "Starting Over Again" which brought together some of the most talented actors and actresses of our time, Iza Calzado, Piolo Pascual, and Toni Gonzaga. These three were able to portray such amazing characters that would surely leave a trace in your minds. Together with their co-actors and actresses, Joross Gamboa, Bryan Santos, Beauty Gonzales, Cai Cortez, and Edgar Allan Guzman, the movie became a huge success.

At the first part of the story, you won't easily realize the main conflict that's about to befall the main characters. Unlike the typical love story, this isn't about a third party, or distance. Heck, this movie isn't merely about acceptance. This movie is about something that affects us as a whole. This movie is about something that we cannot change or stop, that all we can do is follow so that we'll never be left behind. The conflict in this story is not just meant for the story. But the conflict is simply, "time". Isn't it surprising how something so simple can affect us so easily? How can we let something that affects us go to waste? Why do we take time for granted? These are just some of the questions that you can answer once you 'read' the movie. Did I type it correctly? Read the movie? Yes. That is what we should do. I have learned this from one of my best professors. I will not mention his name, because I think he would prefer that the 'noise' comes looking for him. Instead if I just blow a horn for him. Going back, the movie is a huge success. You haven't lived until you have seen and understand this movie.
