Kita Kita (2017)
Romance, Comedy, Drama
Filipino, English, Japanese
Movie Rating: 4/5 stars
This movie is not your typical Filipino rom-com (trust me, I have seen a lot).
Isa. The movie title is not a song title nor a trendy phrase. Less cheesy.
Dalawa. The leads are not your typical loveteam pair. The male lead is known for his career as a comedian and Kita Kita is his first antagonist role. The female lead on the other hand is an underrated actress starring in numerous Indie films. A very unlikely match.
Tatlo. This movie lacks the official meet-cute of the leads. A meet-cute is considered as the foundation of a rom-com movie in which the male and female lead have a cute and romantic encounter that may eventually lead to their romance.
Apat. The movie is Indie-style meaning, less production and more arte. Kita Kita's plot is simple and funny with a tinge of pain (hahaha).
Lima. You can pick up a thing or two in the movie (educational). Who knows that you can go buta (blind) if you are into so much stress. Plus, you get to see Sapporo in Japan.
Anim. There are only three 6 characters with one without an appearance (Lea's sister) unlike the usual Filipino movies with a complete extended family, friends, kapitbahays, and basically the whole barangay or barrio.
Pito. Two Less Lonely People In The World is the perfect OST for a movie of two magkababayans in foreign place away.
Quotes:
"Ako lang. Ako lang ang pusong may saging."
"Noong nakakakita ka, 'di mo ko nakita. Nang mabulag ka, doon mo lang ako nakita."
"Isa. Isang beses lang ako nagmahal. Masama ba magmahal ng isa lang?"
Comments:
If you're into Beauty and Beast, then this movie is for you. The romance in Kita Kita is like Belle going blind with Prince Adam as an unattractive person. With the moral, it's not what's on the outside but what's on the inside that counts.
