Northern Lights: A Journey to Love

The movie would have been much better if not for the sound editing which was so poorly done. Most of the dialogue were obviously recorded in studio without any ambient sounds of the location included. So, the dialogues sounded so disconnected from each scene. It's so obviously dubbed over that it sounded flat and without any realistic feel. Movies should be done in such a way that one gets to feel that they are actually there. Scenes with foreigners sounded so dubbed by local voice talents trying to sound foreign. It sounded trying hard at times. The second issue with sound was the soundtrack. It was too loud that it was not adding to the moment, instead it was drowning each moment. It did not help also that a lot of the soundtrack was synthesized. They probably didn't allocate a budget to use real instruments. The synthesized music, especially when it came to the strings came across flat and cheap. Synthesized music lacks any emotional depth. So, you have substandard soundtrack production, then played too loudly, it was like an assault to the ears. Could I say more about the movie, nah, too distracted by the audio. Could have been better.

In this age where most "love" can be found infront of a digital gizmo, Northern Lights: A Journey to Love swerves a bit with a different glow.

Filipino families are well known for their bond and strong family ties. The story presents the struggles of children from a broken home.

Charlie Jr., prepared a lot of questions for a father he is meeting for the first time in 9 years where his father, Charlie Sr., was uncomfortable to comment. Another Filipino value interjected was the mindset that children will never understand, or too early for them to understand.

Angel on the other hand, was too convinced that it was not her mother's fault that they ended up without a mom. His father also never mentioned it to them so as not to disparage their mom. Truth can be terminal.

Forgiveness. A lesson that is too difficult devour but simplifies life.
