Rewind

I've never been in movie houses since long time ago, more so for a Filipino movie. There's 3 movies that captures my attention to this year's MMFF namely Firefly, GomBurZa & Rewind. I got some resource to spend on for just 1 movie and so I decided to watch Rewind for a simple reason.. I have a soft spot for works of art relating to the gift of life & family for years now, and Rewind happens to have that based on its synopsis. Thankfully, it didnt disappoint.

This movie is a realization of faith, whether its faith to God and His plans, your loved one, or to your craft.. its a realization for all walks of life. And when it kicks in, it hits to the core.. and there's no holding back those tears.

Hands down to Dingdong, Marian & Pepe for portraying John, Mary & Jess/Lods respectively. The nominations are all well-deserved. And I wont have a single doubt if they actually won acting awards in the future for this. Nakakainis kayo! Halos kasisimula pa lang, parang sinisipon na ako. Buti na lang hindi ako nag-iisa, isang tulo, tingin o hikbi lang, nakakadala na..

Good word of mouth for the film definitely deserves it. It's a Filipino film that made my faith to Philippine drama close to what I hope it to be.

P. S. That subtle "Sa Susunod na Habang Buhay" instrumental bg music is well placed. It didnt felt too repetitive at all.. even though it was the only song I heard of being played all throughout the film. And when the vocals finally volumes up, wow! So satisfying! I liked it before and love it now.

Made me cry. Let's cherish the time we have with our love ones, we never know when, how, and where tayo mawawala. "Rewind" delves into themes of forgiveness, the consequences of one's actions, and the importance of cherishing every moment. It explores the idea that while one might have the power to change the past, the true essence of life lies in accepting and learning from it. The film encourages viewers to reflect on their own lives and relationships, making it a thought-provoking watch. "Rewind" is a beautifully crafted film that showcases the exceptional talents of Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera. With its engaging storyline, powerful performances, and stunning visuals, it is a must-watch for fans of Filipino cinema and romantic dramas. While some plot elements may be predictable, the film's emotional depth and the chemistry between its leads more than make up for it. "Rewind" is a testament to the enduring appeal of love stories and the magic of second chances.

I really watched this movie and it really made me cry. The One and Only Primetime Queen acted very well. It's a shame it was underrated but it was a hit at the box office. I didn't think it would make me cry. It's like you lost your breath when you watched it. It's one of the best movies I've ever seen. The best actor is also their acting. It's really big. Congratulations To Everyone Who Made This Movie, So We Should Appreciate Our Loved Ones Before They Lose Because in The Reality Of Life there's No Rewind, No Second Chance Thank You For Showing Us The Reality, For Showing That Our Life Is Only One We Should Appreciate It Thank You Solid Dongyan.

Nrinig ko kc ung song ng ben&ben.. kya naiiyamot ako at npfeedback dito.. As a viewer, I was eagerly anticipating a fresh and innovative cinematic experience. However, what I encountered was a blatant imitation of "IF ONLY" from its storyline to character development and even specific scenes. It felt like a carbon copy rather than a unique creation. Lalo n sa element o material o props.. simula p lng ung PROMOTION sa trabaho issue, may nbasag, travel at related sa music scenario... juskolord.

The lack of originality not only diminished my enjoyment of the film but also left me questioning the creativity and integrity of the filmmaking process. As an audience member, I value authenticity and creativity, both of which were sorely lacking in this production.

Moving forward, I urge the movie production team to prioritize originality and creative storytelling, rather than resorting to imitation and replication. Viewers deserve fresh and compelling narratives that inspire and engage, not recycled versions of existing works.

The movie's plot is its powerful asset. It teaches you about the most important things in life- love and sacrifice, forgetting oneself for the people you love, making the most of your time, a trusting relationship with God. Perhaps the message has been delivered so direct to the viewer's plate, but the effect is good all in all. The actors did a good job, especially Dingdong. If you want a feel good movie that makes you reflect about your own life at the same time, then Rewind is for you to see (perfect for the MMFF season!). It has a universal appeal even if the culture and values portrayed are strongly Filipino. For Filipinos, it affirms the good feeling of being born into this culture.
