"The Animals"
(Gino M.Santos)
Review: The film is showing the sad reality of life. Happiness can turn to be a Disaster when you mismanage everything. It shows the down side of young teenagers this generation that abuses the liberty and freedom of their own. Party,Lies,Sex,Drugs, Alcohol, Fraternity, Betrayal and Pride are main streams of the events. Teenagers tends to lose control in the influence of the modern society . The Director Mr. Gino Santos give the unseen reality of teenage life that most of the parents do not expect from their children. The Animals is not only for teenagers but most are for the Parents that is not aware of the culture that their beloved children is experiencing.
Jake(Albie Casino) plays the role of happy go lucky guy and romantically attached with her girlfriend Tina (Dawn Balagot), but in the end because of the temptation and out of control Jake cheated with his girlfriend. There are also things that a person cannot control like of Trina (Dawn Balagot) is experiencing in this movie , she is a kleptomaniac. It is not that she intends to steal things but it is in her psychological problem. Lastly Alex(Patrick Sugui) the angsty brother of Trina that is force to join a Fraternity for his security. Lies are common for teenagers that tends to break the law of the adults.
All in all the movie is making everyone see the untold story of reality. I believe some of the parents is shocked after watching this film seeing the consequences that their children might encounter if they let their children “control” over them. The movie is daring that you can see betrayal of trusted person. The Film is an open ending I wish I will know the reactions towards what happened to Trina specially if everything turns that way. It will be better if the Director shows more at the end, like Trina’s family, Jakes, Trina’s friends reaction. Because It was actually Jakes fault why she commuted. Trina’s girl friends that was not able to answer her call when she needed help. You will never know when is your time, so better think twice, you will never know what might happen next.
Reaction:
I actually enjoy the movie. To be honest the movie is really REAL. I can even relate to the movie because I know everything in that movie is true. Everything in that movie is possible. Most of those scenes is already experienced by me. I witnessed most of it. Specially in an open party wherein I used to go is really similar. But then there are some things that I never expected that can happen. Like in the scene wherein the guy friend of Jake tries to put some drugs in Trina’s drink and took advantage of her. I was terrified in the reality that, yes, I might experienced those and it is not impossible these days. Commuting home at night, which yes I do as well is very dangerous I realize that you will never know if you are going to be a victim. But that movie really scares me. I even thought of what can I do if I was in Trina’s feet? I could not answer. It changed her life. And the life of the others as well specially with Jake, because he was the reason why she commuted that was supposedly it is Jake who is going to drop her off. I actually wanted to comment to the guys like Jake , why does guys cannot get contented with one girl, already caught on the act but still tries to deny it and even dare to say I’M SORRY or LET ME EXPLAIN if you just got busted. I realize a lot of things, you will never know when are you going to be dead, what people wants to do to you, and what people dared to do towards you. So be wise with your decision and take care every single time.
