Last Night | A Ghostly Love Story

Poster taken from Star Cinema Website

Hey guys, I have to apologize if I have not been blogging for a long time. I had a lot of good things going on lately that takes my time off writing for you guys. Anyway, I had the chance to watch "Last Night" with my friends at SM Clark last Saturday (September 30, 2017). This stars Piolo Pascual and Toni Gonzaga and was written by actress Bela Padilla and directed by Bb. Joyce Bernal. The movie starts of with Piolo standing on the ledge of the Jones Bridge with the attempt to jump off and probably end his life but he saw Toni asking for help which foiled his plans.

They would later on plan on continuing their attempt at ending their life because of their own reasons. They brainstorm about dramatic ways to die and they agreed of doing this together. Piolo then develop a feeling with Toni's character that holds him back from the plan they originally concocted. Only for Piolo's character to find out that he has been seeing the ghost of Toni's character. 

It's a quirky take on a heavy topic of suicide which makes it more comical than serious. It was an "OK" film, it is more of a weird ghostly love story. I think Hannah Baker would not record a side of a tape regarding this movie but it kindly reminds me, a little because of the ghost thing, with Reese Witherspoon's "Just Like Heaven". Bela's attempt on the story is not bad at all but I just hoped she had made it a little more darker and heavier especially when the topic is deciding to live or surrendering to the harshness of the realities of life. There were still feels on the movie, but the feels were not that hard.
