My Deal on "Real Steel"

Nota Bene: I think I got 2.50 in my Film Appreciation class in my uni days, and back in highschool, I was the only one who didn’t get the moral of the film “Robinhood” which is “the end does not justify the means” – I was in a Catholic School, hence stealing is frowned upon even in movies.  So, di ako nagmamarunong o nagmamaganda sa aking opinion or critique of the movie “Real Steel”

I really haven’t paid much attention sa promotion ng movie, I didn’t even what it was about.  I’ve just seen one of my friend fret about how good the movie was in one of his FB updates.  So without much prodding, sumama ako when I got a movie invite from my officemate.

Plot Palasak

Yan ang text ko kay myloves when he told me na maganda ata un movie coz pasumandaling pinagpalit ng isa nyang girl-friend and boyfie nito to see the movie.  “pinoy na pinoy ang plot, alam ko na ang ending, mare-realise nya na mahal nya un bata at di pala nya kayang ipamigay after ng kanilang bonding ek ek” yan naman ang statement ko kay officemate sa eksenang nakikipag-deal ang Hugh Jackman sa aampon sa kanyang anak, who he never knew naman talaga in the first place.

Oh and I’m not saying that we pinoy make lousy scriptwriter or that our script is not worthy of Hollywood.  Actually, two foreign movies na ang pinanood ko na di ako natutuwa as opposed to when I saw Remington and Septic Tank.  I’m just saying it’s so pinoy coz the plot is common in pinoy movie and telenovela scripts.

Out of Context

“ano bang halikan yan, out of context”  ang isa pa sa binitawan kong statement nun maghalikan si Hugh at ang kanyang leading lady – who in all honesty eh wala silang chemistry.  Inubos ata ni Hugh Jackman ang budget kaya aun puro mga unknown artists ang kasama nya.  Un mga kissing scenes nila mukha kelangan lang gawin dahil un na ang pinakabayad sa artistang babae hahaha parang out of the blue un mga halikan, ni wala akong makitang motivation para mag-kiss sila hahaha

At isa pa un. Ewan kung ako lang ba ay bato or what, pero wala akong makitang motivation why they do what they do.  Or di lang maganda ang pagkakabuild-up sa bawat characters.

Although nung laban na ni Atom kay Zeus, andun ang excitement. Nandung kulang na lang tumayo kami ng officemate ko sa mga upuan naming at talagang napapa-cheer pa kami.  It actually reminds me of Pacquiao’s fight.  And guess what, it was actually reminiscin of his fight where he lost because of the judges’ decision.

And hello, Atom, the boxing robot, was called “the people’s champ”

So abangan natin ang next instalment ng movie, kung san si Atom ay tatakbo as a congressman sa US sa kabila ng kanyang mga kakulangan hahaha

  1. Gusto ko sana syang panoorin pero wala me allowance haha! pero ayus talaga yung animation ano? sana ganyan na ganyan rin yung animation natin, pero kung over-all mas maganda yung movie kung magbibigay siya ng moral lesson or deep message para sa mga viewers.
