Talking About Deathly Hallows

"It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well."

--Albus Dumbledore




Alam ko, hindi ko kayang palampasin ang pelikulang ito. Kahit pa nga ba nahati sa dalawang part ang installment ng Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. i know they are going to make up for the unforgivable boredom brought by the previous movie Half Blood Prince.

Madilim pa nung bumangon ako kanina. I can't believe luluwas ako alone to Manila just to watch a movie. How pathetic! And yet I still did. Kahit na wala talag akong makakasama to watch it. Kung magaaya ako ng taga Laguna baka mag libre pa ako para sa meal at sa transpo. Kung ang mga taga Manila naman baka busy sila. Pero aaminin ko ilang beses kong pinagmunimunihan kung ite-text ko ba si JS or si Dimitri or sino man sa classmates ko nung college and OJT barkadas para naman may makasama. Anyway, it is not about my trip. I am top write about how the movie made a little history today. Sa kalalagay lang niyang status sa facebook, Sir John August Pamintuan described Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in the following words and I quote;

I watched Harry potter tonight and found it awfully boring. It had none of the magical kids' stuff that enthralled us before; just drama, drama, drama... for a moment I thought Potter was trying hard to be a vampire, and the director David Yates was trying to shoot Twilight

Sure ako na hindi niya nagustuhan pero ako naman nilagay kong post ay [and I quote again];

Two thumbs up for The Deathly Hallows! The plot is amazing, cinematography spectacular and Emma Watson is damn immaculately stunning...

How was that? Bakit ko nga ba nagustuhan ang movie. Siyempre una sa lahat, kung hindi ko sasabihing gusto ko eh di parang sinayang ko ang pamasahe at mall tour ko alone. Second, mas gusto ko naman talaga si Emma Watson kay Kristen Stewart when it comes to acting portrayal. Third, the movie as much as it could remained faithful to the book.

I even tried surfing the net if there are anybody out there who have the same emancipation as I had. To my surprise meron naman.the Menneapolis Movie Reviews Examiner posted a review about Harry Potter and there I quote;

With superb acting and a strong plot, the movie only pumped the break in a few spots. A scene in which a cartoon portrayed the story of the Deathly Hallows and the directing in a few action sequences wasn’t quite as sharp. Not to say the directing was bad because it was good, it just needed to be tightened up in a few scenes. The other obvious downfall is that the movie is only half of the story and keeps us all wanting more, bothered by not being able to finish in one sitting.

Hindi ko pa nakakausap ang ibang kaibigan patungkol sa movie but I am sure many are dismayed sa ilang part. Hindi naman din ako kasi masyadong technical. Basta ang hanap ko is kung mai-enjoy ko ang movie sa kinauupuan ko o hindi like, wala bang mga interuptions, hindi ba ako gininaw, or maayos ba ang Acoustics ng sinehan. Yun lang naman ang after ako pero sa kabuuan medyo nadala ako ng drama. I am not saying na hindi na ako makahintay until the next screening ng second part sa July 2011, sinasabi ko lang na enjoy talaga panuorin sa big screen ang Harry Potter. If I watched it on TV-DVD, siguro madami ako comment and that is very critical of me.

Paguwi ko sa bahay, finale airing na ng Illumina, a local TV show of the same graphics. My gosh! Why is there so much sorcery in the world? Hindi ba nila alam na bawal yun?
