Always Be My Maybe Film Trailer Review
What can be said about the Always Be Maybe (2016) uncensored official movie trailer? Well it generally sums up what will everyone see in the entirety of the film which is an unconventional take on most modern relationships with a pinch of sexiness twinkle over its witty script. It is somewhat interesting to see that slow change is coming in mainstream media in interpreting relationship in films; to mix it up a bit. I am not saying it is revolutionary but this has its charms, although they are dredging through dangerous waters that is also prevalent in the Philippine conservative society. Everyone has an idea of how relationships should "be", but what is odd is that Philippine society listens and even considers most of this. What I am referring to opinion from a part of society consisting of mostly old men who have dedicated to a life of celibacy.
It is worth noting that this is an uncensored trailer which means that it is too "risky" or "sexy" for Philippine television as it only show barely clothed protagonists. It is not like it is a redband trailer to an R-rated movie so what was the intention here? To make cash in on its adult theme to get the usual conservative society riled up to talk about it? Bad publicity is still publicity right? I am not complaining here, just curious. Always Be My Maybe plays around with how some relationships are nowadays; that amidst how society romanticize relationships, there will always be failed relationships leaving some people broken and mostly afraid of committing into a new one. Throw in a romcom script approved by a film production company that specializes making blockbuster romcoms and you a film that makes a "taboo" subject (to most people living in a conservative dreamland) be relevant and 'worth' talking about. Character dialogue (script) looks fun and having two attractive celebrities help, so why not check it out?
