That Thing Called Tadhana Movie Download Kickass
Sheron Norsworthy
there are movies that move you to tears and some to laughter. this one makes you scream and curse and rage and hyperventilate over the awesomenessofitall. it drives you mad. to the max. now i understand.
another thing i love about it was the practical effects the director took lengths to do. it harks back to the days when cg was so low tech and most people do live effects and puppets and all to create a tangible, physical world to shoot in. i dont know if they shot in film as well (too tamad to research) but the look was just gorgeous and the effect visceral that if it were not for the 3D glasses i had on, i swear i was back in the old decripit theater downtown in my province in the 80s gawking at the fast paced road rage going onscreen.
i cried again watching this movie for the 2nd time. this clearly is not only an homage to the best magazine in the world, not just to film photography, but to the very core moments of life where you need to stop and take it all in, those moments and experiences that are just needed to be lived, an adventure by itself. i just had to watch this again, this time in 1080p. the cinematography is gorgeous and every thing building up to that end sequence just tugs at my heartstrings so hard id break. easily one of the best movies. EVER.
worked on the DOH ad about prenatal checkups for moms in their 1st trimester pregnancies. sent this out to my setman carrying minor technical instructions. ive tried google sketchup years ago but it was only last year that i relied on it to furnish my construction crew with clearer plans instead of my normal hand drawn sketches.
here are some photos of church convents in europe in the late 1800s. as a general rule, anything that is 1898 or earlier is acceptable but i tried to find photos taken in 1898 to catch details that were different from anything earlier of the period.
archive photos of government meetings we looked at included these ones here (sorry, i may not be able to provide complete credits and links from where i originally sourced these on the web; credits would go to their respective owners).
this photo below from the philippine american war website shows gen. gregorio del pilar seated third from left. this was the 2nd Filipino Peace Commission that happened May 19-20 1899 with del pilar as head.
notes on my sketch and assignments on who is in charge of procuring them props or if they were set builds. we were only shooting in this location for 1 day and it was also our very first day of shoot, scheduled on march 27, 2014. everybody was excited and anxious.
in the meantime, the director, jerrold tarog, and cinematographer, pong ignacio, just finished shotlisting the whole film on the day before we started shooting. i held office at the artikulo uno warehouse and was occasionally called over for clarifications or revisions on layout and setup in relation to their camera angles and framing.
the last two weeks have been overwhelming really. from the premiere of HENERAL LUNA to the jitters prior to opening day and now we are on the 2nd week of HENERAL LUNA. we opened with 95 theaters, whittled down to 45 for the second week only to pickup and reach 70 by friday today. we only wanted to do a good movie and the phenomenon that this film has become is crazy. we can only be grateful and humbled by it. as our producer, ed rocha, explained on cnn, this movie has become bigger than ourselves. a lot of people have taken ownership of it and generally, we couldnt ask for more.
So, as we say thank you once again, please keep the fires burning, please keep the spirit alive. If the film is no longer in your city, go directly to your local cinemas and ask the manager to bring it back or bring it to your movie house for the first time. Be the hero for your school, for your barangay, for your friends and family by being the one who called them or texted them and let it be known to them that this movie must play in your cinema because there are plenty of people who want to see it and must see it.
yesterday i had to go out and buy a newspaper, something i havent done in years! and it struck me that the same thing is happening to people with Heneral Luna, saying they havent been to the theater in years yet here they are. the Lord be praised!
thank you chef claude for the wonderful article. the HENERAL LUNA FB PAGE posted a photo of the newspaper in print yesterday. click on the photo for the full article online. a full description of the food we featured in film is in the article ;-)
been trying to write this particular article for weeks now. started this when HENERAL LUNA was still on its 3rd week and now, the film is enjoying its 5th week in the theaters (and almost on its 6th! fingers crossed). still overwhelming, really.
BIG STARS. we dont have big stars in HENERAL LUNA, only big actors. industry practices believe the big stars draw in the audience. but our no-big-star film just made a killing at the box office. of course, a lot of factors play into that BUT, we just made it there by the strength of the material, the performances, and by the buying power of the audiences. thank you, Lord!
RAVE REVIEWS. ive been so used to mixed reviews on movies ive worked on all my life. chos. there hasnt been a filipino movie that practically would rank 90% freshness on rottentomatoes.com, had it been rated. i can understand schools encouraging their students to watch the movie. however, it is a different kind of success when you hear companies, like this pharmaceutical company, sending out an email to all employees nationwide to watch HENERAL LUNA paid for by the company? when was the last time normal folk clamored for cinemas to keep screening a movie so they can get more people to watch it? we never aimed for this and yet the film continues to elicit raw, untapped emotions from people haha lahat na ng tao nagmumura!
PINOYS BACK IN THE SINEHAN! a lot of the posted reviews online also say things like, i havent been to theaters in a really long time BUT, or i would not normally watch pinoy movies especially in the cinemas BUT. they found a movie they all loved and they watched it in the sinehan that charges a leg. and they watched with family in tow. we have lost our Sinehan Culture and it shows with the few that do, opening of phones and texting while a movie is on, talking and putting your feet up. the couch culture prevailed, unfortunately. but going back to heneral luna, now all these people are finding time and getting babysitters so they could just go and watch in the sinehan. like wow.
ENTRY TO THE OSCARS. we had a weak start when we opened in theaters sept 9. we made it through the weekend and reviews from people who watched it were positive and encouraging. ticket sales generally picked up on the 6th and 7th day so we slid nicely into a 2nd week screening schedule and sales went higher as payday hit. sometime after that, the film academy of the philippines suddenly announced HENERAL LUNA was representing the country as entry to the foreign language category at the oscars. naturally, more people now got interested and more news shows were talking about HENERAL LUNA. and then we made it to a long weekend break! the sales just kept going up that we warranted another week in the theaters.
i eventually reworked my sets into google sketchup nearing the construction phase. while the sets were all of the same dimensions, the sketchup output also served as a guide for my set decorator once we got to dressing up the rooms in the studio. btw, it was our first time shooting at the shooting gallery and wow, awesome studio.
