I have, for the longest time, been clueless about Filipino scriptwriters and their trade because I ceased to monitor who did what for lack of motivation. I also noticed how conceptualized the scoring is in Here Comes The Bride, particularly the effort to score Angelica Panganiban's character so that viewers can connect with it when soul-swap happens.Graphic Designerhttp://acepcionkarl.weebly.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31058461.post-58612665856337949792010-05-20T21:03:37.893+08:002010-05-20T21:03:37.893+08:00Thank you, Gershom.Thank you, Gershom.Oggs Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03041599863258946384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31058461.post-46882114212973860882010-05-20T13:43:04.475+08:002010-05-20T13:43:04.475+08:00Bravo!

Your analysis of the film as an intelligent wish-fulfillment/desire-frustration tango is spot on! :)Gershom Chuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09746952464138127621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31058461.post-22107369097695617862010-05-19T15:12:16.831+08:002010-05-19T15:12:16.831+08:00Hi Pat,

After all, our culture seems to welcome homosexuality as long as it is entertaining or funny; thus, Dolphy's several gay alteregos, Roderick Paulate, etc. are persisting icons in pop culture. However, to express not only gayness but the angst and struggle surrounding it, in a comedy is a different matter altogether. Here Comes the Bride does not only have entertaining gay characters, its entertaining gay characters are accurate in their needs, weaknesses and desires.Oggs Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03041599863258946384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31058461.post-89957737100448824682010-05-19T11:06:36.146+08:002010-05-19T11:06:36.146+08:00But isn't it easier to be gutsy about expressi...But isn't it easier to be gutsy about expressing gayness when you’re a comedy than if you're a star cinema drama? And although this one's from star cinema too, it had co-producers which probably gave it more creative freedom. Anyway, I think this movie's perfect. :)pathttp://holdencaulfieldisms.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
