Sana Dati



I love reading spoiler reviews. I guess I like the certainty it brings when I start watching the actual movie or tv show. There is certain comfort in knowing what will happen next, and what will happen in the end.

But for the first time, I regret reading a spoiler review. Sana Dati's charm lies in its uncertainty. It set the stage for a suspenseful build up as to what will happen next, and how will the characters decide on their lives. I hated myself for knowing what will the characters choose to do in the end.

It's a romantic movie, not one I'm used to, especially not one from a locally-produced movie. Life and love are both uncertain, but as the movie showed, it goes on. People come and go, but the ones left behind will have to continue, because life goes on.

It's poignant, sweet and heart-wrenching. A tearjerker, yet in all of its trajedies, you find hope. And you hold on to it. "Maraming hindi sigurado sa gabing ito. Pero sigurado akong mahal kita."

Pretty much like life and love, eh?
