better late than never.

Last week i got to watch Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, the sixth installment movie of the Harry Potter series adopted from the novel written by JK Rowling. who is by the way my favorite fantasy author. ok, so is this some kind of a review or something? i dunno. maybe. since i don't really know how to make one. and not fond of making such. i just like to really comment on something that i like and enjoy. does that qualify?Lol.

Anyways, it was my second time to watch in Trinoma. I was goddam excited to watch it. because aside from the fact that I've long waited for this to really come out, I'd get to see my freakin' high school classmates as well. so it's like a reunion thingy. and it was just awesome. so there, i bought a gargantuan popcorn and enormous drink. the movie started at 11:30pm and ended at around 2:30 am. and i walked out the theater with so much disappointment in my heart. I was so brokenhearted.

ok, here's the thing. i know that we don't expect the director to include all the smallest details from the book. perhaps we might be forgetting what adopted means. but duuh? fool David Yates ruled out so much important details. im talking about highly relevant facts man. this movie was supposed to help people understand the connection between Harry and Voldemort. and it didn't. the horcrux was the whole idea of HBP but was completely left out. crucial memories in the pensive were excluded.

and crap! where were Tom's parents? Dumbledore's funeral? the new minister of magic? and the more-than-life battle between the dumbledore's army and death eaters! oh gosh. reminiscing that night when i watched the movie just makes me even harder to move on. this movie was almost 3hrs of crap. it was so damn boring. I expected so much from it. and i got almost nothing. i mean hella nothing.

Buti nalang hindi ko pa nabasa ang book... Kasi nagustuhan ko naman ang movie. Pero darating ako diyan, nasa Chamber of Secrets palang ako. Hahah! Mabagal akong magbasa.

Pero sa tingin ko ng sayang nga 'yong mga scenes 'yon, Jesz.

Jezsie:

Nas'an ba iyang Trinoma? Sa PATAY TITI (PASAY CITY)?

Sesiya na, tagal ko nang hindi umuuwi diyan sa RP. Maliligaw na siguro ako.

That's the problem with movies adapted from best sellers. The material is already pre-sold, and therefore, when the film comes out and it did not follw the whole storyline, moviegoers are disappointed. However, we must try to understand the filmmakers. Sometimes (not all the time), they are compelled to do things by, say, the producers or the executives of the studio producing the movie.

In order for you not be disappointed when you watch the final Harry Potter film, go to the theater without even thinking about the book. Treat it as a new experience, and hope that the film will take you to terra incognita and live that world for at least 3 hours.

Relax, and enjoy. Man, you're young and the whole world is right in front of you, waiting for you to conquer it.

Just remember what Robert Herrick once said:

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying.."
