Maid in Malacañang (2022)
History Revised!
This is purely fictional. The Producer is Imee Marcos so expect that the movie will revolve around her. It portrays the lavish lifestyle that the Marcos' had but them being so nationalistic and very concerned with the Filipino people was distorted in the movie. The funny thing is that the Marcos' relied on the gossips of the maids for their decision making. That in itself was already a red flag. The actual footages of the videos from the EDSA Revolution were just spliced to fit in the fictional storyline. The movie would appeal to the blind masses that are loyalists to the Marcos'. The whole events that happened in the palace were romanticized by the director like the Bongbong and Imelda drama in the bed, the father and son talk of Sr and Jr, Marcos and his daughter Irene, the speech of the 3 maids and the households,etc to make the movie palatable. As a fictional movie, it was OK but as representative of history, have more discernment when watching this.
The Entitled (2022)
It's an airplane Crass
A crass girl who came from a poor environment was a lost daughter of a hotel tycoon. She was forced to act and talk like a millionaire's daughter but unfortunately old habits just don't die right away.
It's a good thing I was watching this movie alone. You will just cringe at all the curse and uncouth words coming out of the mouth of Belinda (Alex Gonzaga). This is not something that you would watch with your family. In the whole movie Belinda keeps on touching or scratching her crotch. I guess if that was a portrayal of how uncouth or bastos a person coming from a low life I guess Alex portrayed it well but not for public consumption. Yes, we get it but does it really need to be exaggerated? Even kanto words for masturbating was being repeated over and over again.
The story is predictable, no substance, trying hard to be a rom com but the development of the characters were haphazzard. In the next scene the teenage half sister who hated Belinda to hell suddenly becomes nice to her. Putting in Melay who is supposed to add to the comedy, apparently felt short on her role. Bakya was more like it. Even the father lacked acting skills. He was mono-emotional if there was such a word.
Well this is how Filipino movies stagnate. Same banana. Apparently it has only a relatable crowd to entertain.
