I just finished watching the above-entitled movie. top-billed by Albert Martinez, Eric Quizon, and Lorna Tolentino. In so many ways, this movie opened my eyes and my young, curious, inquisitive and closeted mind to the world I was treading at the time. The plot centers around Ron and Nick, a gay couple, and Annie whom Ron got pregnant after a one-night stand encounter. Annie then proceeds to "terrorize" the couple's once quiet life by inserting herself not just in the relationship, but in their lives. The trio eventually develop love for each other, but not without the proverbial struggles. There are several lovely, somber moments as their affection builds and it just goes to show that love knows no gender.
The movie was released on April 5, 1998. Yes, 1998! Back then, I was still in the journey of getting to know myself as a teenager slowly transitioning to adulthood. I was 16, fresh out of high school and (probably) awaiting my PUP entrance exam results when I watched this movie by my lonesome. I passed the PG-13 screening because, well, I was already past that age, though I was still surprised by some of the gestures like Albert kissing Eric and their intimate scene.
Back then and even now, having watched the movie, it still has the same feel-good effect because everything ended well for the three main characters. Too bad I cannot download it because the YouTube link is not recognized by the tool that I am using. Nevertheless, I am glad to have had the chance to watch this movie then and re-watch it now.
Truly, everybody is FREE TO LOVE. ๐
