REBYU: THE ANIMALS (GINO SANTOS)

Tweetnopsis:
Dude, anyare? Partey? You think our lives are like so mababaw ha?! No, pare. Think again. We have problems too. #ConyoProblems

Afterthoughts:
Gino Santos' "The Animals" provides an insight into the lives of the young, rich, and wasted. After viewing the film, one should have a deeper understanding of the so-called "conyo kid problem" - that if one takes his time to analyze this new breed of the affluent and strip them off from their comfort zones - cash, privileges, and social status - one can definitely realize that these kids have vulnerabilities and needs similar to our own, that like social animals, they have a desire for fraternity, for acceptance, and a complicated teenage dream.


Favorites:
The final scene reverts back to the title and ends with an aerial view of a lush green canopy followed by a close-up shot of a decaying bird feasted by a troop of ants, the latter being a visual metaphor to the last scene. It ended where I wanted it to end, a fitting finale for these conyo kids with a wild side.
