Four Sisters and A Wedding: Not Just Comedy

Four Sisters and A Wedding was unexpected. Although I was told beforehand that the movie was “dramedy” (mix of drama and comedy), I thought it would portray the family on a light note, cracking jokes and witty comments in every scene, like with any Filipino feature film. Boy, was I partially wrong.

I said “partially” because the witticisms are still intact but the story about the family dynamics and the relationship among siblings brought the heart-warming, tear-jerking and effective drama into the screens; it drove me, and the rest of the cinema audience for that matter, into tears. As I am writing, my eyes still burn from crying for half of the movie.

So what’s with the drama, really?

Imagine Dragons's Radioactive

Not just Radioactive, but the rest of the songs in the Night Visions album. I have enjoyed, and am still enjoying, Imagine Dragons's music for three weeks now.

Among the songs, though, Radioactive struck me the most. Probably because of my bias towards the chemistry-related title (chemistry major here!). But I think it was Dan Reynolds's breathing in the first part of the song that hooked me to Radioactive. It was so intense. I felt the exhaustion and exasperation. I may not be experiencing stress right now will make me exhale so bad like Dan Reynolds, but it will come. After all, school just started.

The music video is a different story. Here's one more reason to love Imagine Dragons.
