CINE EUROPA
I have attended a forum last Nov. 30, 2006 in our school about the cultural specifities on the films of Europe which launched the CINE EUROPA the following the day at GS Mall Illustre. Cine Europa is an annual event showcasing the different cultures of the countries included in the European Union including Finland, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Czech Rep., etc.. through films.
Aside from socializing with the BIG and BOLD (Ambassadors and Politicians)personalities from different countries during the premiere night, I was able to watched the film ONE WAY TICKET TO MOMBASA, a 2-hr film from Finland showcasing two characters of ironic personalities. I don't wanna give details of what had happened in the whole duration of the film because you might have the chance to see it in the future.
All I can say, the Film ONE WAY TICKET TO MOMBASA, though weak in plot and character development, the film perfected its beauty in giving the audience an alluring effects on its cinematographic design. It's beautiful concept of Momasa justified the dreams of two young men and made it worthy to see.
Cine EUROPA ran 3days on GS Mall theaters with a free admission,that is why we have not wasted our chance to see. We started at 11:00 am and ended 3:00pm
The following are the film we have seen along with my friend and the some remarks:
WHEN THE SEA RISES(Belgium)-1 hour film. Lousy Actors and weak plot. Beautiful musical score.
ZELARY(Czech Rep)-beautiful story, Unrealistic musical effects, excellent cinematography, good set design
SIMON(Netherlands) -the story disappoints me, it does not capture the real sense of Euthanasia and Gayness of a person.
After all, I am still happy to see the different cultures if the world in the glimpse of the films i saw. In Belgium, they have a festivity similar to our Higantes Festival. The Same sex marriage in Netherlands and many more.
