Oo, Ate, Oo, Ate!

Caught an old Tagalog movie of Sharon Cuneta on PBO channel. I think it's entitled, "Nakagapos na Puso". It stars Lorna Tolentino, Edu Manzano, Tonton Gutierrez, and Dawn Zulueta.

I didn't get to see the 60% of the movie. I saw Tonton's character lying down in front of their house and Sharon was trying to find her hubby's medicine. She checked everywhere but still couldn't find it. Why would you keep a very important medicine hidden???

Anyhoo, Tonton's character died eventually. Of course, Sharon broke down in tears. It's one of her specialties. Another one coming up.

In this movie, Eliza (Lorna, the big sister) was the smart and successful one. While her younger sister, Elaine (Sharon), was meek and always under the shadow of her "Ate".

In all of Sharon's movies, especially the old ones, she always has this "moment" where she delivers a very long monologue or a catchy phrase. And in this movie, she let out this memorable dialogue, "inidolo kita, halos ilagay na kita noon sa pedestal... sa isang utos mo lang, natataranta na ko. oo, ate, oo ate, puro na lang ako, oo, ate! daig ko pa ang isang manyikang de susi. pinabayaan kitang diktahan ako dahil akala ko mas marunong ka. akala ko mahal mo ko bilang kapatid. pero iginapos mo na ang paa't kamay ko, pati puso ko, iginapos mo pa rin?" (try to deliver that in one breath and matching tears ;oP)

Actually, Lorna has her own dialogue after this. And it's NOT a short one either. WTF!!!
