Bwakaw

Bwakaw embarks upon the life’s journey of Mang Rene, a cranky old homosexual man. I’ve seen other gay movies but this is so far the most natural, every-day-scene, or could-be-my-neighbor kind of setting. The dialogues and the delivery of lines are so natural that it didn’t feel scripted at all. But of course! This was a powerhouse cast! Led by none other than one of the greatest actors that has ever graced the Philippine Cinema – Mr. Eddie Garcia himself! Add to that another classical icon in the industry – Ms. Armida Siguion-Reyna. Now, who could possibly top these two actors who are, to quote a line from the movie, “mas matanda pa sa Philippine Constitution” (older than the Philippine Constitution)??? And I mean that in the most positive way, that their length and quality of service to the Philippine movie industry is already immeasurable. Kaya marapat lang na tayo ay magbigay-pugay (It is only right for us to give honor). Other good actors who graced this film are: Gardo Versoza, Soxie Topacio, Alan Paule, Luz Valdez, Rez Cortez, Beverly Salviejo, Jonathan Neri, May-I Fabros, Soliman Cruz, Roni Bertubin, and Joey Paras. I will not detail who played who, so as not to pre-empt other would-be watchers of this movie. Go figure that out yourself! ;) Or just go to their Facebook Fanpage. Actually, I’m just too lazy to write it down because it would just be a waste of time and space when you can find it in their Fanpage already. Am I right?
