As I was browsing through the fs bulletin this morning, I almost choked over my coffee upon reading an announcement about the PH version of twilight-TAKIPSILIM. I was so outraged upon knowing this because the people behind this lunatic idea have made the Filipino image as a great laughing stock again. They  have proven to the world again how good Filipinos are at plagiarism making us “all” look cheap and trying hard copycats even though some of us aren’t. I mean why couldn’t they just make another fresh concept for a good movie? Why still imitate the idea of another when it had already been seen by the people? So they think it would boom- for me of course, it wouldn’t. Why would people want to see what had been seen? The people behind this moronic whimsy are not only embasrrasing the FILIPINO race by their cheesy and trying hard re-makes but are also disgracing the high norms of a quality movie. This TAKIPSILIM movie is indeed the newest in the line of Philippine re-makes that had proven to be unsuccessful, nonsensical and hilarious to the eyes of men.  Can’t they see the point that there are just factors in foreign films that just don’t suit our culture and beliefs that if immitated would sound cheesy and TH-copied obviously resulting to another catastrophe?

 I believe we Filipinos are talented and creative in our own ways but by imitating the Twilight film- I just don’t see the true Filipino talent. Somewhere somehow, I know that there still a lot of brilliant juans left undiscovered that if given the chance to shine would surely make a great difference not just in the movie industry but in general- meaning all fields will be covered. It’s just so disheartening to hear that we Filipinos are known globally not because of our rich values but because of our being great imitators of a myriad of things that proved us to be low quality, inefficient, and incompetent. Plagiarism definitely makes us least than who we really are that is why there is a need for it to be stopped-as soon as possible.
