You get a “wow” and amazement as you watch the breath-taking scenes in the movie “Love Me Again (land down under)” starred by the country’s sexiest actress Angel Locsin and hottest actor Piolo Pascual. The story follows the quest for love by Migo (Piolo Pascual) and Arah (Angel Locsin).
After working in Manila, Migo finally found his heart at the pastures and highland of Bukidnon. Aside from reclaiming the family’s ranch in there, which was lost after his father’s death, Migo also plan to win back his first love and sweetheart, Arah, a beautiful and a fearless rodeo queen of Bukidnon.
Migo and Arah were getting fond with each other when Arah’s father got a cardiac illness. During those times, an Australian rancher came to the town and looked for skilled cowboys to work in his ranch in Australia. Coming from a poor family, Arah decided to go for the job and left for Australia even when this also meant leaving Migo behind. The two became even more separated as Migo, saddened by Arah’s departure became engrossed with building up the ranch again which was near to bankruptcy. Working so hard in Australia, the Australian rancher got attracted to Arah and offered her engagement. Now, will the two ever meet again? Will love truly conquer all?
Directed by Rory Quintos, the on-screen chemistry between Angel Locsin and Piolo Pascual was impressive and intense. The film’s actors also did a great job in portraying the lifestyle of a cowboy and the culture of rodeo. The actors captured well how cowboys and cowgirls showcase their skills in cattle tipping and bronco riding. They acted as if they were professionals enough to join the rodeo. It showed a unique romantic side of love.
Just as good as the actors were those working behind the scenes. The cinematography was incredible. The way the green rolling hills of Bukidnon was captured was totally awesome. Anyone who’s watching the movie would feel that he is also on top of the hill. There were also clear shots of the huge and thriving mountains of the settings. It’s like really bringing the mountains right in front of you.
This story is great for anyone who wants a unique love story away from the conventional city life to wildlife. It’s a definitely must see for romantics and nature lovers.wwwww
