Innovation, catchy punch and youthful flair define the movies of Olivia Lamasan. This time around, the blockbuster filmmaker takes us on a sojourn to the heart and soul of Italy in MILAN.
Lamasan, one of Star Cinema's most respected directors, is a master when it comes to fleshing out stories that reflect the varied emotions of the human soul. Maalaala Mo Kaya the Movie (1995) shows how the past can connect with the present. Madrasta (1996) shows the complexities of being a stepmother; Minsan, Minahal Kita (2000) contends that true love can come at the most unlikely moment; Got 2 Believe (2002) tells how love can bridge all personal differences. And now, Milan tells the story of love lost and found in a foreign land.
Milan was conceived two years ago when Star Cinema managing director Malou N. Santos brought up the prospect to Lamasan: that of shooting a movie in Milan, Italy, with Piolo Pascual and Claudine Barretto as leads. "Naisip namin love story. But I wanted more than a love story because I wanted to put more depth. So basically Milan is a love story, but one where a man simultaneously searches for himself, because it becomes an anchor for him, to be able to love honestly."
One of Milan's differences from Lamasan's past movies is that she gave much more freedom for her main actors to know their roles. "Iniba ko ang attack dito. Usually I sit down with my actors to discuss their roles, discuss the story and tell them how they want to do for audiences to know the characters' personalities. Sa Milan, the actors themselves defined, gave the backgrounds and identified even the conflicts of their characters. They told me how they wanted their characters treated. All that worked well in the process because the actors came to own their character."

Heh Jen - I said almost the same thing over at the BC site about the awards. Claudine's success I'm sure is being envied by most & those award giving bodies play favorites. Always have & always will.

Now I get it. Kaya pala hindi man lang nominated c Dine sa isang award winning body. Kailan kaya maalis sa ibang Pinoy ang inggit sa katawan imbes na magtulungan para umasenso naghahatakan pababa. So if that's the case, malabo ngang magka award c Dine na nanggaling sa kanila. Kung sa Kailangan Kita na movie nila ni Aga nominated cya sa lahat ng award giving bodies pero di man lang cya nanalo ngayon pa kaya. Buti na lang isinama pa rin cya sa nominations lists. Anyway, as much as I want Dine to bring home an award I would rather not na lang kc di naman pala credible ang mga award giving bodies na yan. As long as she makes good movies & she continues to conquer the box office arena that's truly an award na

p.s. claudine won as best host in star awards for tv and some people criticized it. some felt zsa zsa padilla who won the following year was more deserving. it is widely known that star awards (for tv and for movies) is heavily backed by cristy fermin's tuesday club so i won't be surprised if claudine wins. for me, every award-giving body has the right to recognize anybody they want to. it is just up to the viewers of the awards' night or readers of the results whether they feel the person or persons who won are deserving.

Just came from PEX and it's confrimed na Milan won the Best Picture award. Meron ngang kumontra pero inamin din na tlg deserving ng Milan kc nagandahan din cya sa movie. Kung ganyan ba ng ganyan eh di may harmony Sabi rin doon di lang daw best picture ang nakuha ng Milan marami pa daw. I know di nanalo c Dine kc c Ate Vi nya ang nanalo even c Piolo di rin daw although he was there. I wonder if he accepted the award? I'm also anxious to know kung nanalo c direk Olive "Inang" Lamasan kc aside from Dine & Piolo's great performance, cya tlg ang kailangan saluduhan (sp.) . Basta congrats ulit sa lahat ng cast & crew. You all deserve an award

milan is deserving to win the best picture award. even lamasan and other awardees. among the best actress contenders, for me its a fight between vilma and claude. not the favorite kris aquino. kris acting in her film is nothing compared to claudine. her acting is not worth citing for a best actress award. PMPC hello? wala syang ginawa dun kundi ang tumili at mamulagat ang mata at mag emote na parang natatae o natatakot ba yun. isa lang kasi ang acting nya. even sa hiram she acts like nasa fung shui pa sya buti na lang andun c heart and anne. laging naka mulagat ang mata nya parang natatakot o natatae. hay mag host na lang sya. saludo pa ko sa kanya. award giving bodies of philippine cinema, be credible naman. please.

Thanks innocence & welcome na rin Di lang tayo ang nagsasabi na magaling tlg c Dine sa Milan. Lahat ng nakapanood nito hanga kay Dine at kay Piolo sa galing ng kanilang pagganap. Natural na natural kaya very realistic ang dating sa viewers. Don't worry kahit naman di mabigyan ng awards c Dine mas pinipilahan at memorable naman ang mga films niya Congrats ulit sa MIlan, Best Picture of the Year!

Yeeey, at least nakakuha ng Best Picture award & direk Olive too.....congrats to all. It's just kinda funny. In Hollywood usually if the director & the movie wins the actors win too. I guess that's Pinoy showbiz for you.
