Review:
My take on this movie starts of light & charming. Fidel’s unrequited love for Stella started as their friendship flourishes in college. Fidel has a speech defect he only limits himself to 3 words and for long speeches he has to write it down. His character is being bullied by his peers because he stutters 🙁
He met Stella on Freshies night were Stella heard a singing voice outside the venue , she followed the voice then she spotted Fidel. That’s when his infatuation started with the girl with the black lipstick (Stella)
His teacher encouraged him to submit articles to the Seedling (The school’s official newspaper) since he love writing poems thus he begins to write for the girl with the black lipstick as inspiration. Then his teacher told him to give it to her personally thus till it reached 100 tula (till graduation) – that’s were the story revolved.
JC SANTOS Character Fidel, is someone you’ll love from his genuine sweetness and the total aspect of his character. His character progresses from this kid who was bullied to someone who achieved a lot. He became a hearthrob during his 3rd and 4th year when he moved to another university. His gay room mate discovered his talent in singing (the stuttering stops), thus encouraging hin to join a performing arts guild where he develops self confidence.
I didn’t know he could sing and yeah a friend told me he is a theatre actor – that’s why he is dynamic & versatile. Looking forward to see new projects for JC and you’ll love Fidel’s character in the movie – Most likely.
Bela Padilla – Well Stella, the muse at first she seemed fun to be with but as she flunks schools it seems her priorties weren’t straighten out. She wanted to break in the music scene. Thus being with different guys, she kinda used them. She admitted that in the movie. That’s why she never wanted to take advantage of Fidel, because Fidel would give anything for her. There was a scene were Fidel was offered singing gigs he didn’t cared actually, he planned to act sick and give the gig to Stella instead beacause it was her dream – act of true love! There was a scene Stella was vulnerable he never took advantage of that. That’s when she kinda drifted apart.
All I can say its NOT your typical story (This can happen in real life actually), there were scenes I got teary eyed especially the ENDING – may twist. Worth it ba yung 100 na tula!? Don’t worry they both get their happy endings.
I don’t want to be a spoiler but you better watch it! 100 tula para kay Stella NOW SHOWING!
