Writing about “Write About Love,” a movie

Engrossed watching how a novice female writer under the guidance of a senior male writer rewrite a movie script about love. Film "Write About Love" stars Miles Ocampo and Rocco Nacino with Yeng Constantino and Joem Basco.
How the story unfolds with the unending revisions and edits most especially on the choice of ending is engaging but not annoying to someone who also writes.
Story is made clearer to movie viewer when what was conceptually shared by the writer is staged in an imagery scene by another pair of characters juxtaposing concept with reality.
The final output is crafted only when the female and the male writer resolve the personal issues they separately face surfacing as they work on the tedious and tiresome sometimes amusing collaboration.
Happy or sad ending? Love or relationship story? Is the best one what we were made to believe and not the traditional and the work around route?
I like the writers’ openness to each other. It is the crucial step to resolution and discovery. Travel, nature, conversation, family, forgiveness and love whatever your definition of it expedite our journey to an ending.
