“Kita Kita”
Movie Review
Introduction

In the land of the rising sun, Kita Kita movie was shooted. Starring Empoy Marquez as “Tonyo” and Alessandra De Rossi as “Lea”.Kita Kita has been lauded as a surprise box office hit, it has the heartwarming premise of a not conventionally attractive man teaching a blind, embittered, beautiful woman to embrace life again. Both Alessandra de Rossi and Empoy Marquez are absolutely charming in their roles as Lea and Tonyo. The tone of the entire film is hopeful and light, injected with a good dose of Pinoy humor.
I really wanted to like this film and in some ways, I did. I laughed out loud and I found the scenes of Lea and Tonyo dancing in different locations irresistibly cute.Lea is a lady in Japan (SAPPRO) …show more content…

It presents Tonyo’s actions as sweet rather than scary, and ends with him getting the girl. It employs the trope of a nice guy pining after a girl who’s dating a jerk,and seems to say that while you’re putting up with the wrong guy, Mr.Right could be hidden in plain sight. The story appeals to its audiences because here, the underdog is rewarded for his persistence.The appeal should make us pause: Why do we encourage persistence?Why isn 't it enough when a woman says “no” the first time? and no, it 's no different whether the guy in question is handsome or not. If Tonyo had really just happened to live across the street, approached Lea with no ulterior motives, and fallen in love with her. Tonyo said that “It is wrong? To love for once?” .
Conclusion
After all, the title Kita Kita, or “I see you,” is meant to be touching. It’s probably meant to symbolize how Tonyo sees through Alessandra’s guardedness, and how Alessandra, because of her blindness, is able to love Tonyo for who he is, even if he’s not conventionally good-looking. After all, isn 't that all anyone wants to be seen and loved? but because Tonyo started out as a stalker,the words “Kita kita” take on a more sinister tone, then it could have made for a beautiful

    To begin, the author uses characterization in her short story in order to show just how difficult it can be to start a meaningful relationship when both partners are still quite unfamiliar with one and other. Firstly, when Robert and Margot were about to engage in coitus, Robert says; “I always wanted to fuck a girl with nice tits”. The fact that the author chooses to use the words “nice tits” shows that the only thing that interests Robert in this relationship would be Margot’s body. It reveals just how meaningless the relationship between these two, which can almost be called strangers, truly was. We could make the statement that for Robert at least, this relationship is solely about pleasure.
