Philippine Culture and La Visa LocaIf you're interested in Philippine culture, watch the movie "La Visa Loca" The movie talks about the life of driver Jess Huson (Robin Padilla) who's struggling to get a U.S. visa, so that he can fly to the US, work as a nurse aide, and be with his girlfriend Annette. The story reveals various aspects about Philippine culture: Holy Week, spiritists, how Pinoys look at tourists, crime and punishment, families broken and mended, AM radio, food, and choices. If you listen carefully, you'll catch quite a number of jokes. Try not to laugh too loudly. :-) They have a flash-heavy web site at www.LaVisaLoca.com (link via Jon Limjap) If you groan "Oh no, not another Robin Padilla film!" then you're in for a surprise. You won't see the usual swaggering macho action star persona. You won't hear the usual slurred, string-your-words-together Padilla. You'll find an intelligent, relaxed, perfectly-cast Robin Padilla. His performance is "the best in the world!" UPDATES: Check out Victor's (Bikoy.net) entry about La Visa Loca and the pasyon chorus. Ergoe on La Visa Loca: "Two words, tsong: Watch it!"
