A message I hope that resonates with everyone who sees the film is that whether you are a member of the LGBTQIA+ community or otherwise, remember that we are all part of the fight. Grinning and bearing the lashing words of the ignorant can only get us so far we don’t deserve to hide who we are and who we love. We as LGBTQIA+ stand on the shoulders of those who came before us. We have to be careful with what we say, even to children. I hope this message resonates with every person who sees the film. Words can leave scars, and children do remember. Words or comments that seem to be so light to you can have a tremendous and lasting effect on others. Careful the things you do, children will see and learn."įact of the matter is that children listen and remember the words that you may have thought wouldn’t leave a scar. The character and her part in the story reminded me of a quote from Into the Woods: “Careful the things you say, children will listen. It’s such a curious reality in our world. They seem so ready to give their unsolicited and baseless opinions as if the LGBTQIA+ are a commodity or an object they can just play with and never take seriously. The character is clearly a commentary on how Catholics seem so ready to involve themselves with the affairs of the LGBTQIA+. It’s quite a toxic character, and a reality a lot of people in the community from predominantly Roman Catholic countries like the Philippines have to face so often. I genuinely wanted to throw her off a cliff, and that’s a complete complement in this regard. I mean, she was clutching a Santo Niño at the start like it was a purse! She is the epitome of what we of the LGBTQIA+ abhor and fight against. Heteronormative tropes say what? We don’t know her.Īnother highlight is the tita Susan character which was so on the nose on the cliché über religious Boomer. That, among other parts, of course, was straight up proper queer representation. They had such great potential from the original series, and I loved that they were given a chance to elaborate on their somehow complicated relationship.
Highlights include the character developments of Terrence, Wesley, and Achilles. Makes-you-want-to-punch-someone-on-the-face level of drama, but best you check that out on your own. And of course, along the way, there has to be some drama. We see Cairo and Gavreel, along with Pearl and a few not so surprising characters, go through the brief time the main couple is allowed before Cairo leaves for Bukidnon. The story is a direct sequel to the events of the original series. Its production is the opposite of disingenuous to its fans, and we loved to see it.
#Love live the movie trailer series
The obvious juxtaposition of the movie from the original series is just amazing to see, while the cinematography and the obvious regard of color theory was just exquisite. The film is a fabulous mix of the camera style we got to love from the original series, while also expanding upon it with scenes where our beloved characters are seen actually together in person. Being born from the initial outbreak and lockdown in the Philippines, Gameboys is an inspiring piece of work that reminds us that even through great adversity, love and family are still the most powerful things we have. Mahal kita (I love you) This film is indeed a long time coming.
