When This Is All Over (Cinemalaya 2023) Directed by: Kevin Mayuga
How does the rich react to the pandemic?
This movie offers the good kind of shit and they’re not afraid to show it.
It’s an escape from this cruel world. And we can’t complain because we badly need it. Through this film, we can pretend that we don’t give a shit. Still, the more that we don’t care, the more that we become self-aware.
The cinematography gives off a vibe that’s hip and cool. The shots are artistic, representing the main character’s state of mind. The insensitivity of the lines are indirectly saying that the joke’s on us. The ensemble feels like a one big family who really needs to party.
Matatawa ka sa mga kawalang-hiyaan. Ginhawa ang pakiramdam kahit kunwa-kunwarian lamang. Masayang makipaglokohan kasama ang pelikulang ito.
Masyadong tumagal ang kasiyahan. Hindi na nagkaroon ng panahon upang unawain ang katotohanan. Hindi nailarawan nang maayos ang kahirapan.
Dahil tumakas sila sa realidad, nagpatong-patong na ang mga tunay na problema. Hindi nila alam kung ano ang uunahing lutasin. Andaming paksang naipakita at hindi nila ito napagsama-sama nang maayos. Pakiramdam mo’y lutang pa rin sa huli.
The movie keeps on getting us high, failing to bring back its feet on the ground. Sensibilities wandered off, feeling numb to the world’s painful situation. Perhaps, it’s the kind of drug that we need.
Do we still want this pandemic to be over when we can just pretend it doesn’t matter…
WHEN THIS IS ALL OVER
