A night of being a fan again…
It was December 4, 2007. A very exciting day for me to meet friends, old and new. Batanes is a movie that stars Iza Calzado and Ken Chu of the phenomenal F4 that rocked my world four years ago. Since I can call myself a certified F4 fanatic that was always present in every f4 concert that landed in my country I know I will like this. This movie is such a delight since a F4 member stars in it.
Since it was a movie premiere it will be indeed be a night of fans. With the addition of the presence of the Taiwanese superstar who cares watching this movie with screaming girls. Ken Chu graced the theater with a few words from him we couldn't stop screaming since he was so gorgeous even with sunglasses on. I think he really wears his sunglasses at night. He left and went to the other theater where his co-stars await him for the movie premiere.
Before reading the next paragraph...please view this full movie trailer.
(Kim and Feliss..it has english subs on it.)
The movie started with Iza the female lead of the movie Pam is talking on her cell phone. Problem with her work and all, but I felt it was kind a off for me on how the cell phone snatching was being shown in the movie. I guess foreign viewers will freak out watching that scene. Pam rushed through the snatcher and bumps into Rico played by a new comer Joen Bascon who I swear looks like Piolo Pascual and Yul Servo combined. Pam then pushed the idea that Rico was with the snatcher. When she was about to call for security Rico had an attack and it turns out he has epilepsy. When Pam couldn't find anything to help the guy for first aid she decided to put her palms and got bitten.
Just like how Pam narrated the movie that bite was not the last. She went to Batanes Island and got a proposal. Married Rico and then a tragedy came she lost Rico.
When he went out fishing and fell down the sea and had a sudden epileptic attack. No body was retrieved and Pam was still in denial. Days came and now Rico was believed to be dead, Pam decided to go back to Manila but something was holding her back, her love for Rico.
A year passed and Pam got adjusted with the life in the Island. Electrical power cuts at twelve midnight. A simple life in the island is her life now. But she can't seem to get over with her lost. She prepares meals for two, pretends she brings food for her husband and all. These scenes were really heartbreaking and I want to get over with those scenes already. I think her pain was already been well justified so I thought get over with the next scene!
Now the much awaited first scene from the Taiwanese superstar Ken Chu. Pam went to a certain island and with the strong winds and rains, she discovered a human body right in the shore of that island. She tried warming up the body with some cloths. Creepy thing since it was raining so hard and when Pam fell asleep and then Ken was standing near her staring. When she woke up she was terrified. I think because she was with a stranger in an island alone. But for me because of how Ken look...I will be terrified horror movie style.
They weren't getting along so well. She tried feeding him but he refused but of course he will be a little annoyed since he wanted to kill himself and here's someone who saved him. After a few persuasions finally Pam gets this Chinese speaking guy to eat.
After the storm, Pam went back to their place with a stranger with him. He was brought to the health center. Pam's in-laws were upset with the stranger but still Pam told them what if Rico was in the same situation and nobody was willing to help him. The stranger was treated though an issue arises. Is he an illegal fisherman? Things like that.
Pam was determined to take care of take care with this guy. When a middle aged woman was trying to feed Ken he was a little hesitant since he just woke up. Pam asked the lady to stand up and took over. Ken's smile was so intoxicating. He had this smile so bright and warm. He was really handsome! Tension was gone and they understood each other through sign language. And we now discovered Ken's character name is Kao.
Pam was still mending her broken heart and Kao helped her through now the love story began. With what the ending was… try watching the movie it will be worth your money if you're a F4 fan if not, the breath taking views of the island is still worth it.
Some technical things with movie, I think the directors should have taken some good angles. There are some times that the actor in the movie appears to be headless because of the camera angles. The Pam back shots when she was apparently looking far away were not appealing since I always see Iza's butt sticking out. I know she has a good body but I feel distracted with her ass which I can say is cute but I can't sometimes feel the pain cause I was distracted. No offense meant she has great ass! And the scene when Pam was waiting for Kao to be rescued by her in-laws during a date by the sea, I can't stop laughing when I saw Ken by the shore calling Pam. He was like a mermaid! And I can't stop laughing with that scene.
Rating the movie as 5 stars as the highest 5 because Ken was in it! but in general i'll give it a 3!

Hi charity! I'm incarnadine/Malou of CPH :D
I know this is not in any way related to Batanes or to Ken... but I just wanna say that I'm a HUGE fan of Park Choong Jae too, lol ^_^ I swear. I'm so thrilled to find someone I actually know who's gaga over him as well.
