Just wow!
"Baldy for the Blind", directed by Drea Castro, captures the essence of human resilience, showcasing how these elder participants, despite their disabilities, relentlessly pursue their dreams with courage. As they navigate through multiple training sessions and hikes, and overcome formidable obstacles, you cannot help but be drawn into their world, empathizing with their journey on a profound level.
One of the film's greatest strengths lies in its ability to evoke a sense of unity and companionship between the individuals in the movie. The bond formed between the blind hikers and their supportive guides is portrayed with genuine warmth, exemplifying the power of solidarity in overcoming these challenges.
This documentary is much more than just a film, but it is also an emotional journey that offers an invaluable perspective on resilience, determination, and the strength that resides within the human spirit. "Baldy for the Blind" is a cinematic gem that is a must-see all over the world.
Tahanan (Home) (2022)
"TAHANAN (Home)": A Heartfelt Exploration of Displacement and Longing
"TAHANAN (Home)" is a powerful and emotionally charged film that explores the themes of displacement, longing for home, and finding one's place in a new culture. The film's main character, Jerome, is a young Filipino man who struggles to adjust to his new life.
The film's director and writers, has done an excellent job of capturing the complexity of Jerome's inner turmoil and struggles. The performances of the lead actors are outstanding, particularly the lead actor who plays Jerome, who delivers a raw and powerful portrayal of a young man who is struggling to find his place in the world.
The film's use of music, particularly the theme song "Sayo Na", is also noteworthy. The song's lyrics, written by KLARRENCE and Kenneth Laurente, perfectly capture the emotions that Jerome is going through and help the audience to connect with the story on a deeper level. The song's theme of love and the fight for it aligns with the main character's journey as he tries to connect with others in his new environment and ultimately make a decision about his future.
Overall, TAHANAN is a powerful and thought-provoking film that will leave a lasting impression on viewers. It is a film that explores the universal theme of displacement, longing for home, and finding one's place in a new culture. It is a film that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt out of place and struggling to find their place in the world. I highly recommend this film and the soundtrack "Sayo Na" to anyone who is looking for a thought-provoking and emotionally charged film experience.
