Memories lead to regrets in ‘Alone/Together’
People do not always make the right decisions in their lives, and often this leads to life’s “what ifs.”
In one of Eric Jackson’s articles published in Forbes online, he has written about “The 25 Biggest Regrets in Life. What are Yours?” and fifth on his list is “breaking up with my true love/ getting dumped by them.” Jackson said that “romance is a big area of regret for most of us. It is tough to simply be happy with the love that you’ve found and takes away from the special moments you have today, if you’re constantly thinking back to what you once had.”
This kind of regret is the theme of ABS-CBN Films Black Sheep’s latest movie offering, “Alone/Together,” starring Enrique Gil and Liza Soberano. It is written and directed by Antoinette Jadaone.
“Alone/Together” is the story of college sweethearts Raf and Christine, whose paths will take a different turn that lead them to the biggest regrets in their lives.
Jadaone noted how the two stars’ individual characters tackled the disillusionment that some graduates feel upon facing the real world.
“When you’re in college, you feel na you can change the world. But we find college graduates become disillusioned when they face the real world, so ‘yon ‘yong tackled sa movie – they are in that period in their lives. Ibang-iba ka na no’ng college ka sa ngayon, iba ‘yong taong pinangarap mo maging kaysa sa taong naging ikaw,” Jadaone explained.
