One of the few

By Philip Peckson
Philippine Daily Inquirer

Last updated 23:16:00 09/04/2009

A LITTLE more than a year ago, I handled Alexis a draft of a film review I had written. I did so with pride for in this review I had powerfully exposed, I thought, the film?s many failures. He liked some parts, recommended changes to several, but asked me this question: ?Isn?t it much harder to write about what you love than what you hate?? And then I stood like a man whose vanity has been called and worsens his shame because he envies the sincerity of another. Most critics love to criticize and a few criticize because they love something else. Alexis, you were one of the few.
