The movie that I watched was entitled “Sonata”
which means a music or a sound, the story was about a women who has full of
grief and longings for love, she was also a retired opera famous singer her shine
fades and her voice changes as time passes, an artist who loved to sing
different or translated lyrical song. Sonata is also about a unique friendship between a boy
named Jon Jon and retired opera singer named Regina Cadena (Cherrie Gil). Regina Cadena was became alone she owned a farm where the mother of the boy used to
work on, Regina was not untammable in fact, she’s weird she always drunk and doesn't want to socialize with others, but that was
changed when he met the little boy. At
first it was not easy for the little boy because he think that Regina was
crazy, but as time passes he learned to talk and wanted to get attention of Regina he also make much effort to know Regina much better. Which really changed Regina's life, he give’s meaning to the meaningless life of this women. They became
friends in spite of their age and time. Regina realized everything, she started
to find herself again. But one day there’s a tragic that
was happened, a very dramatic part of the story a little boy died because of an
accident, the boy was drowned and unfortunately he was not saved by his friends
In my own observation, this movie started a little boring when it comes in sequence of shots, it was played slowly in motion,
that made you to say what does the story
really mean, I think it cost an hour before I really get the essence and the
point of the story, I also thought it’s just going to be not much interested
since I didn’t try to watch its trailer, but as the movie getting in a half mid
the story became fast where the most interested and arousing scene begins to identify and shown.
And that’s the time I realized that the story itself was really great. The
shots the views and the language (bisaya) that was used. The views are refreshing
in the eye that also gives attention to the place as province and most of all
the traditional doings in the province was featured, that gives you an idea
what kind of place is a province like, very authenticated
But 2 things that really caught to my attention was
the sequence of the story, for me the director should much focus featuring a
lot where in the essence and point of the story was shown, there a lots of time
that was “wasted” wherein he focused more of the time showing views and random
stories that was not really gives emphasis to the point of the story.
Second was It was fell short most probably where in
the best scene was shown, the allotted time that was given to each scene was
very short, there’s not much suspense, the scenes lay down very easily, fast and
spontaneously that doesn't give much focused to the meaning of the story,
though you can understand it, but it was not satisfying. the details were not
used to featured completely, and it quickly jump into another scene, even in the most dramatic part
where in it supposed to be dramatic, you cannot really feel the impact and
the emotions because it featured in a very short time without complete details of the scene
but I really love the concept of the story the characters made their role very well, and of course the music that was used was really
amazing, smooth, elegant and hearty music even though I cannot understand it,
and I don’t know what’s the meaning of the song, but still you will feel that your emotions where really plays on it.
