Random film at Balboa

So I'm at Balboa park with the Bayan Group. The thing is we had to go see a Filipino related movie, and as you may know from my previous blog I don't know much from the culture, meaning I wasn't excited to go see a movie.

At first I was feeling bored,  and the fact that the ticket cost ten bucks did not make me want to stay at all I was like what the hell this aint even AMC why is it ten bucks. The issue is not me being cheap, but paying for something I don't want to see is what made think to not go at all. I thought the movies were going to be history related or something near to that.

Well, even though I was having doubts of being there, I still went and being honest the film wasn't that bad. The Film is called Give up tomorrow and it's a documentary directed by Michael Collins about a Filipino-Spanish person named Francisco "Paco" Larranaga. Basically the film is about the injustices done to Paco like getting sentence even though it was obvious he was innocent all the evidence was in his favor and what he had to live through, also they talk about what Paco's family had to endure with this injustice and the living conditions of Paco along with what happened to him and the case over the years.

So I think it wasn't a waste of money after all, because I got to watch an interesting case and how it developed during the years.

Some random things to say, be open minded, that way you may end up enjoying an activity that you never gave a chance to because it looked boring or it seem like a drag. We find interesting experiences at the least expected places.

  1. That was kind of my first impression towards the film before it started because I am not a big fan of documentaries especially history relate. But the film just got so intense. I literally was grasping on my seat when the video kept going on and on with the case. So much anger and sadness was push upon me. It was really surreal. At the end I had an amazing time, and it did bring everyone else together.
