-Corazon, ang unang aswang-

I just watched this movie. It's a breath of fresh air for the Filipino movie. The video quality, set up, storyline and characters are quite amazing. It has no trying hard special effects whatsoever. The movie was all about the story which I am looking for. 

A lovestory not a horror movie. Though it was really scary for me, I find it more of a lovestory wrapped in a scary tale. Where can I find my very own Daniel? (derek's role) His love for Corazon was eternal... But I do believe it existed to many Filipinos before. it's a part of our culture to be faithful to our better half, through thick and thin..and so it goes. Compliments to Erich Gonzales (Corazon) for a well played act! She's evolved this time, not the usual sweet innocent Erich. Corazon and Daniel, were they really the origin of the aswang? No one knows, but the movie sure did left me lingering on the thought that because of their love, they might have turned into cannibals then handed it down to their heirs, Corazon surely had given birth to new babies which she hadn't eaten anymore. Or had they gathered up other individual to live with them in cannibalism? adopted a child perhaps? 

Where else can you find a husband who will stand by you whatever happens, choose you instead of friends, keep you even if you can't give him a child and kiss you despite your disposition as a monster/dirt/smell/ugliness? A husband as handsome as Derek himself, as strong and responsible as him? The typical Filipino man, tanned from the kiss of the sun (all in a days work), well built from all the load he's carried, strong willed and loving. These were the qualities of our elders.. my lolo was like Daniel. stood by my stubborn lola. (smiles) Although my lola haven't lost her mind.. she was a typical Filipina too. Stubborn and emotionally attached to her children.

Let me also cite Corazon's most striking realization. "Forgive me, as I wanted to give you everything, I lost everything I have. (patawarin moko, sakagustuhan kong ibigay sayo ang lahat, nawala ang lahat ng meron ako.)- you see, I can really relate with these. Sometimes, we love too much, we Filipinas are desperate lovers. we love too much, we hurt too much. That was that.
