So before the director said his final good bye to us, his audience, he told us to blog about Ploning so that more people can find out about it. I wonder if he knew that a huge bunch of us were watching Ploning that time…
Jeric, Tita Noemi, Bong and I were there early on. We were one of the first people to grab our seats (up front and center). Then, other friends joined in, as well as Lauren, who was watching with Tita Noemi.
The movie was nice. I would understand why it didn’t sell much. I mean, who would want to watch something that’s in some unknown dialect. But it’s nice — that’s all I have to say, lol. Let me gather my thoughts first, will ya?
Funny questions, those audience had! Someone asked how the P20M budget was spent, another one asked how he got Juday to be his lead actress — those kinds of things. Apparently, they were neighbors, blahdiblah xD
Isn’t Juday the co-producer of this movie? If so, then getting her to play the lead shouldn’t be a big mystery. lol.
Baka sa kanya lang napunta ung 20M? lol just kidding
Parang gusto ko rin to mapanood ah.
Chicky: The movie’s about… Juday. And this island. And life in the island. And this little boy. Why are you asking me essay type questions!
Joni: I’m not so sure if she’s the co-producer. The film’s supposed to be a gift to her from the director (who’s her bestfriend, apparently) Napunta yung 20M sa 2 months nila dun sa place. Ayaw nila lumipat ng lugar. Gusto kasi ng director na dun lang sa Cuyo (I got the name of the place right, right? xD) magshoot. It’s not a bad movie XD It’s just not strikingly wow!

Posted by Luty at November 30, 2008, 8:14 amThey used Cuyonon (I think) — a dialect here in the Philippines!
What’s the movie about? How is it different from all the other formulaic local movies?
