Yesterday Today Tomorrow Trailer Review
Yesterday Today Tomorrow is the only drama entry in the 2011 Metro Manila Film Festival which could possibly spell two outcome for the film: First is that the film may bag most of awards in the Metro Manila Film Festival Awards night, specifically the best actor, best actress, etc. The second is that there is also a good chance that the film will not do good when in it comes to sales as families will usually prefer a much happier films and there is quite a lot to choose from on the entry. But that does not mean the film will suck as it features Philippine cinema veterans like Maricel Soriano and Gabby Concepcion, not to mention some of the more contemporary actors like Lovi Poe, Dennis Trillo, Paulo Avelino, and Jericho Rosales. But what about the trailer?
There is nothing much to tell about the trailer, that it is much a straightforward drama with all of the complications that you can regularly see in one. A cliche of some sort. The only difference is that the film does not ponder on a single story alone. That is why they made it into a 3-in-1 kind of drama. The film features three complicated stories that may eventually intertwine or interconnect onto one single event (shown in the trailer) which may very well be the climax and turning point of all three stories. For fans of any of the actors involved in Yesterday Today Tomorrow, or drama films in general, there will not be any second thoughts when this film hits the theaters this Christmas. As for regular Filipino movie going audience though, I am really not so sure about it. In a festive season when everyone feels so happy, I do not think that they would first prioritize a drama title over a list of comedy and drama.; not unless they consider such title as a masterfully crafted film.
