"Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros" is a great movie...

... no, I'm not gay.

I can't really put my finger on the reason why, but it just is.

I don't know with others, but I kinda figured Maxi (Nathan Lopez, who, if I'm not mistaken, also had a role in "Mga Anghel na Walang Langit," that ABS-CBN drama filled with emoting kids) wasn't gay in real life. His acting in the movie was, umm, overacted, something real gays don't do (the way I see it, at least).

Amusing, though, was the obvious increase in the gay population hanging out in Gateway Mall during the Saturday I watched the movie. The cinema was literally filled with "liberated" people, who laughed and cheered Maxi on with his/her dreams, aspirations and his/her crush on Kuya Victor the security guard.

Wonderful people, homosexuals. Their unique views on life and love will almost always make you want to retrospect, plus they're always good people to talk to.

That's the problem with society: oftentimes, it can't keep up with the erratic mindsets of people, and as a result people are ostracized and not listened to.

That's why movies like this are badly needed, to show large groups of people that times are changing and that they have to keep up if they don't want to be left alone with their stereotypes.

Believe me, you'll exit the moviehouse with a better view of gays after watching this little indie masterpiece.

As an afterthought, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was a great disappointment, plus Katie Leung looks like Sarah Geronimo.
