Ang Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa

The brochure above contains the schedules of the showing films in the 7th year of Cinemalaya in the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) and Greenbelt 3.

               "Ang Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa" shows a deep meaning in the art of dancing. This was directed by Alvin Yapan, starring Paulo Avelino as Marlon, Rocco Nacino as Dennis, and Ms. Jean Garcia as Karen. I was encouraged by the trailer itself to watch the film.

                 As I have understood the film title, it seems to have a wide interpretation deep within its elements. Marlon doesn't have enough skills in dancing but then, he asked Dennis to teach him how to dance gracefully in order to impress his literature professor in Far Eastern University (FEU), Karen. The two college students, Marlon and Dennis, connected the relationship between dancing and literature. It came up for the two to be closer friends when at first, Dennis tried to hide his secret feelings towards Marlon while Marlon continued to pursue his so-called-love for Karen. Although Karen tries to avoid Marlon's love, she keeps her two students at peace because of the misunderstanding the two have encountered. 

        Remembering the line...

                     "Nakakain ka na ba ng kaimito?"           

makes me laugh over and over again. Basically, if you will identify its meaning literally, it's just like asking someone if he or she ever tried to eat a star apple. Marlon identified it differently because of the thick layers that is unseen behind the real meaning of literature. The 'literature' the main characters know doesn't only apply in their knowledge but also, in their dance interpretations. Marlon from being not-that-good in dancing, unleashed the meaning behind literature and applied in his way of dancing, made him a good dancer.

We've taken some photos from CCP after watching the film. ;)

I dragged my bestie since high school to join me in watching the film that Sunday. She attended her NSTP class before going there. Hihi. :>

Unfortunately, I didn't know that Allyanna also watched the film on the same schedule as ours. We saw each other after in the shuttle vehicle after the movie was shown. Built acquiantance, we ate in KFC for merienda before going home.
