#TheaterPH - Thoughts on 100 Tula Para Kay Stella (Spoiler Free)
"Nobody's made me feel this way before
You're everything I wanted and more"
Nasabi niya kaya? |
100 Tula Para Kay Stella is one of the 12 movies featured in the Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino and this is the first film I watched. It raised the bar so high I am not even sure how can I interpret/ranked others films that I will be watching.
The story of 100 Tula Para Kay Stella revolves with Stella, played by Bela Padilla, and Fidel, played by JC Santos. It is a bittersweet romance about a shy, unassuming guy’s secret love for one of his classmates who inspires him to write poetry as an outlet for his undeclared feelings. I saw Bela Padilla's acting on her previous movies and no doubt that she's an awesome actress. It is JC Santos' portrayal that made the film heartfelt and will leave you broken, shattered.

I like how the poems where intertwined within the film but Jason Paul Laxamana's story telling made it more relevant and touching. The cinematography and coloring was exceptional. The Juan's revival of Balisong and Janine Tenoso's 241 were so good which added more tone to the film. For sure you'll going to be on LSS for quite some time after watching.

100 Tula Para Kay Stella unearths a feeling of loneliness to the point that Stella turns into something she doesn't even know how to control. It unearths heart's vulnerability to the point that Fidel was ready to be used and abused. The film became a tool to reminisce past experiences, especially mistakes, during the "young love" phase which will let you realize how much you grown as an adult today.

Favorite part of the film was the scene where Fidel broke down in front of Stella asking for validation and confirmation. I am not fan of confrontations even in real life. I will not elaborate on that particular scene since I promised this will be a spoiler free post. Prepare yourself, be strong and hold your piece together. I warned you.
Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino runs from August 16 to 22 in all cinemas nationwide.
