The Pianist - Beauty Survives
*comment tagged from the movie *
It has been said that music has the charms to tame the savage beast.
This proved true for Wladyslaw Szilman, holocaust survivor, and Polish-jewish pianist.
Seperated from his family, forced to play for the very ones responsible for toppling his world
*Music was his passion. Survival was his masterpiece.*

Metro Manila Film Festival: The Glory Philippine Cinema
Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) has been a staple event for Filipinos every Christmas season. Families and friends gather together in cinemas to watch films as their kind of bonding and celebration. They share laughter and tears whenever they are inside cinemas, because the cinema experience is a collective experience that everyone enjoys, especially if it is being done during holidays with your loved ones. With the comeback of the popularity of MMFF in this post pandemic era, does it equate with the improving quality films of Philippine cinema?

This was so good. I’ve never watched this movie, it’s always been on the list maybe it’s time to mark it off and finally watch it.
