After its original release 14 years ago, and its re-release 4 years ago i got to see the movie Clerks--finally. I have heard a lot of good things about the movie, and because i didn't have any means of watching the movie back then the urge to see Clerks nags me for so long. I wasn't surprised when the scenes unfolded before me, I had some kind of idea how the movie would go, because of the things I heard about it. What amazed me is that director/writer/genius Kevin Smith was six years younger the present day me when he made this movie. But blame it on the demographics, geography, and state of being; I would have never thought of doing something Smith did when I was 24.
I have always been amazed by movies that are simple yet striking, (simple pero rock 'ika nga). Truly adversity displays genius. The good thing about the movie is that it didn't bank on effects because of budget constraints or on a very complex, pa-profound, existenialist storyline na sakit ng indie industry ng Pilipinas. The story is so simple, dalawang Clerks, dot-dot-dot... Umandar yung istorya sa mga komplikasyon ng dalawang bida, ng mga pangyayari na sanhi ng kagaguhan nila, o ng mga di maiiwasang pangyayari. The movie doesn't pretend to be something else other than what it is, walang icing, purong cake lang.
Clerks revived the independent filmmaking industry in the US, lahat na nagsisunuran, so breakthrough talaga. The print was in black and white because it's much cheaper, but it gave the movie a whole new refreshing feel about it. Basta, mahirap ipaliwanag pero napakagaling talaga ng pagkakagawa ng pelikulang ito, walang eche-bureche, basta ginawa lang nila ang gusto nilang gawin at wala silang pakialam kung magiging isang haligi ng industriya ng pelikula ang ginawa nila.
