Intro shows the surroundings, cars, transportation

Sudden loss of music when the mute/deaf guys rides the bus

Introduces the concept, mixed of thoughts – can be confusing at first because of the change

But why does the mute does not also speak his thoughts

Even flashbacks and memories are also presented, also ideas

Some scenes though lack of dialogue, idk if sinadya or cause of bad editing

Does the girl know the mute already? It was not explained

Quite distracting on mixed thoughts

Shows different thoughts or current situations of different passengers

Sudden introduction of music on some parts, - dramatic parts

Symbolism of butterfly – that a woman cried – with creepy song (ahhhh male voice)

Without much actions, viewers rely on thoughts and facial reactions

Random shift of real conversations to thoughts again

Cute when mute guy gave the girl his number, why a sudden change of mind?

Action scenes are limited, such as coco martin punching the gay

Mute guy was left behind, buti bumalik sila, bait naman ni coco, buti alam nya na naiwan

Confusing dialouges from the tv movie and thoughts of the passengers and actual conversations

No explanation when some passengers arrive such as the mabahong guy and and jaquelou

Lillian is vain, interested in the conductor. Unknowingly knows conductor calls everyone ms. Beautiful

Paisa isang pag lakas or emphasize of voices/thoughts

Sometimes thoughts and memories are really random

We really don’t know what everyone thinks, Mercedes thinks that maybe passengers in the seat don’t
have problems
Some thoughts are very naarative or descriptive to try to give picture of the scene only through
words/hearing , or even imagination dialouges , viewer has to makes sense or imagine it on their own

Provides songs in parts with deep thoughts/problems/sad memories

Realistic presentation of different languages

Delivery of thoughts is very realistic / natural, - even when they texting

Different walks of living

How did she knows that the other passenger is going to oman as a lady driver

Envious of other people’s accomplisments, even have regrets

Her husbands seems like a nice man, even though she has regrets she stays

Its funny how we change our minds

Why focus or give time on a specific scene for a specific passenger if they leave the bus?

Smart guy, thinking of anagram – kaso assuming si jaquelou

May gumagamot ba ng son? Na word from “I love you, son”


We all have our own destinations

Haaaaaa song is getting irritating, wala na bai bang lyrics?

Mute guy lesson: We have an innate need to conncet with our real family

Coco-martin: taking care of his mother, finding a new beginning

Jaquelou: looks rich, recollects her love affair, we know from Lillian thoughts that she is probably
cheating

Ano meron dun sa routine inspection?

Lillian: Is trying to find love, actually kind, also religious, quite a romantic

Random play of kahit isang saglit, love melody of Lillian and the conductor(I thought at first)

They actually sing in their thoughts

Even shows the guitar in the guitar only part of the song

Perfect moment for conductor and Lillian when he got hurt – landi moment nila dumamoves si ate and
si si koya – that was also quite random for the current mood

Does the throwing of the ball a premonition that the accident will happen?

Nothing usually interesting happens on a bus ride, you only have your thoughts to entertain you apart
from the tv or observing other passengers or the window view.

A moment of decision for coco if wants to gio back to his mom, aww he came back

Alex – is contemplating his decision in going with the marketing scheme

berate him.
- He got carried away by his thoughts and even stand and showed the knife
How did the old man know alex name?

Old man: Dead son, dead wife (emma) – quite a nice man

Sometimes we think that we know where we are going, but sometimes the journey just stops, just like
life.

Its good that the “Where are you going beautiful?” is stated in the end

But what does “My life is not alone means?”

The film starts by presenting the setting of the story.

The different take of the story tends to be boring at first. I find it hard to follow the story of each
character with only random thoughts being presented. But as the story progress and as I familiarize on
the concept I learn to carefully follow each character’s story, with each facing different circumstances,
problems and backstories.
