The movie presented nothing very spectacular, except for the fact that it's not your typical love triangle. The movie introduced a four sided love story (baka mauso naman ang love square :p), but the story is quite simple actually, except for the twist on the relationship of the Benefactor and the Lover. I didn't like the ending though. It's very Star Cinema typical - someone dying and quite open-ended.
But what made me cry, and what probably touched lots of people is how we can relate to the characters - their situation, their feelings and emotions, and of course the lines....
"Ang kunwari ba pwedeng magkatotoo?"
"Siguro sa kunwari na lang natin pwede mahalin ang isa't-isa."
"Hindi mo malalamang may kulang hangga't may dumating na magpupuno."
"Ang daming dahilan para hindi kita mahalin, pero may isang dahilan kung bakit hindi ko magawa ‘yun. Mahal kita,yun lang ‘yon."
"Walang babaeng pinangarap maging kabit."
"'Di dahil gusto mo, makukuha mo."
"This is not about what you can or cannot do. It's about what you should do. Kayanin mo."
"I'm working hard not to be a perfect man but a good man like the way my father was."
Those were the lines that hit me the most, but of course there are others that may hit others more such as: "As long as I'm alive, you will never be promoted to wife." More quotes can be found here: http://www.iamthecoffeechic.com/2012/09/the-mistress-movie-quotes.html
