Movie celebrates 38th anniversary with ABS-CBN airing of restored classic
Thirty eight years before “Halik,” stories of complicated love affairs delivered in sassy and memorable lines have already been featured in popular culture, such as in the movie “Karma.”
Helmed by Danny Zialcita, the film, starring Vilma Santos and Ronaldo Valdez as illicit lovers whose souls always find a way to be together, tackles these same complex themes, which lead to a deadly conflict.
Known for his movies’ campy and snappy dialogue, which can be called ‘hugot’ in our time, Zialcita didn’t fail to include his signature in “Karma.” So here are six unforgettable lines from the movie, which can be seen this Sunday (February 3) on ABS-CBN’s “Sunday’s Best.”
- Enrico, played by a young Dante Rivero, utters these words as the husband of his lover comes to their love nest to end their lives.
- The reincarnated Enrico, Eric, now played by Ronaldo Valdez, tries to woo the reincarnation of his gypsy lover Guada, now Sara and played by the Star for all Seasons, Vilma Santos.
- Sara wasn’t able to fend off destiny for too long and fell in love with Eric. However, being a married woman, she was followed with feelings of guilt.
- But Eric is prepared with wise words to comfort his lover.
- The two then profess their undying—literally, since they just keep getting reincarnated—love for each other.
- Eric seals the deal by uttering a promise of fidelity and commitment to his soulmate.
