Indie film (Independent Film) caters local and International
Cinema. Filipinos also showcase their talents not only in the Philippines but
also in the whole world of cinematography.
This kind of film explicit reality in our society. When I was in 4th year college I
was hooked in this kind of film because its tackles social taboos, politics,
teenage sex, morality, religion, gay, prostitutes, social norms and poverty.
One of the indie film that I really love is entitled “ LAPIT
NA ME, LIGO NA U” it was first published from a book same title as to Indi
film. This book was written by Eros Atalia.
I remember the day that I read this book in National Bookstore Gateway
cubao, it is sealed with a plastic cover but I slit it and open the plastic
cover and silently reading the book at the book shelve. I was standing the
around 5th lines of surrounded bookshelves around every corner of
the store. Honestly, I don’t have the
money to buy the book so the next day I remember the page where I stopped then
its time continue in reading this book. Until I came to the final pages that
break my heart. There’s no closure. Unfortunately,
the chapter 2 of the book was not there, maybe there’s no stock available, or
maybe the clerk noticed me that I’m reading it secretly so they hide on the
other shelves or floor.
Same with film it captures every idea or theme that the book
wanted to imply. Love, sex, family, perks, friendship, religion and beliefs.
This film is like a FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS Filipino version, but I might say
that this film give its own direction. It incarcerates the idea of love with no
label and closure. That love among teenagers has no label at all. The love
doesn’t need tag to say that you’re belonging to each other. Physical union and
oneness of body is great without asking a question how great it is. Lastly, I
hope the second book would also narrated into motion picture/ Indi film.
