Me, Blue, Jhona, Makriz and Angeli decided to see a movie last friday and since Singapore is lacking quality movies right now, we picked Burlesque. Actually gusto ko talagang makita at suportahan si Ninang Cher! Hi Ninang!
Unang makita ko sa STAGE si NINANG with a performance, talaga namang PLANGAK pa rin sa kagandahan! BIDA!!! Patron ka pa rin ng sangKABAKLAAN at dapat awardan ka for best in makeup dahil nagawa mong magmukhang 30 years old despite na 64 ka na. BONGGA!
On to the movie, what I like about the movie is not the plot, well obviously, but the lessons it tells about STEPPING UP and making it on your own. In the world that I live, stepping up is part of our daily work life.
There are three scene in the movie that I like.
1.) During the audition of Ali(Christina) to be a replacement for a dancer who got pregnant with his boyfriend. Ali is demanding Tess for an answer in which the latter told her that no one can give her the answer, if Ali wants to be a dancer then show everyone that she is a dancer or something to that effect. Just like in our life, kung gusto natin umasenso then pakita natin sa lahat yung gusto natin, stop running around in circles asking everyone for answers dahil kahit sila naghahanap din ng kasagutan.
2.) Tess to Ali "You're not always the New Girl". Tama, laging merong bago at meron darating na mas magaling sa atin. Anu dapat gawin? we must evolve and step to the next level. Hwag kang huminto sa iisang lugar, always seek for improvements para kapag dumating si New Girl or New Guy hindi ka mathethreaten. Tandaan, ang mga bago ang gagawa ng mga dati mong trabaho kaya dapat ikaw hahanap ka naman ng bagong gagawin, magsawa ka naman no.
3. When the curtain is about to fall instead of cowering, Ali used that opportunity to turn the tides on her favor(SING-GALORE!). We must see every good and bad thing as an opportunity and work it in our favor else we will regret to losing that shot and what will be left for us are only "what ifs"
Hindi dahil sa singing and dancing ako nahumaling sa movie na kahit tawa ng tawa yung katabi ko, I mustered my strength to focus on the movie (sayang yung bayad, ang mahal mahal). Kaya ayan ang dahilan kung bakit gusto ko yung burlesque. at wala akong pakealam sa mga reviews na yan dahil mas gusto ko na ako ang magjudge kung maganda o hindi.
Biruin mo may kinapulutan akong aral sa movie na sayawan at kantahan. hahaha
