Last March 15, 2018, we watched an indie film entitled “Across the Cresent
Moon”.Before the film viewing,having heard of the title,I thought it was going to be a
fictional subject matter.I admit that at the first few minutes of the movie,I got quite bored
since I wasn’t into action movies,but when the rising action occurred,I was all eyes on the
film and I ended up mesmerized than ever.
The concept of the movie was about interfaith relationship,family and love.The story
began when Emma,who is in a relationship with a muslim guy named Abbas,was
abandoned by her mother because her mother doesn’t like her to get marries to a
muslim.Emma tried to convince her mother but it was really difficult to do so.Despite the
hatred that she’s been feeling,she still married Abbas and stay at her parents-in-law’s home
where she found unconditional love.Emma’s sister went to a trip in Palawan with a group
of friends where unfortunately,they got kidnapped by terrorists and they were bound to
Malaysia to be sold.That was the time when Emma’s parents met Abbas since Abbas was
the agent appointed by the chief to be in charge with the said incident.Little did Abbas
know that his rival was his brother.His brother was killed by his co – agent and it was
apparent that he was hurt.Abbas was able to save the victims of human trafficking and
everything fell into place after all the killings.Emma was accepted by her family again.
The subject matter of the movie was really creative because it’s an action movie
with a mix of emotional investment.It taught me that our family,no matter what
happens,will always be our home and true love has no barriers.
