A timeless classic written foru decades ago turned into a motion picture. Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok Ko tells the life, the struggles and success, and the music of Reynaldo Valera Guardiano, more popularly known as Rey Valera.
We know Rey Valera as the composer of several hit love songs specially during the 80's, we've seen him regularly on TV as a judge for several singing contest, but this time we are getting a closer and deeper view of what and who Rey Valera is before the limelight and beyond his music.
We've seen International biopics, featuring several music legends such as Queen, Elvis, and Whitney Houston, that are commonly got a fast paced and straight to the point story telling of particular life events of the artist that made them the icons of today, but in the case of Kahit Maputi na ang Buhok Ko it was different.
Although yes, the music of Rey Valera did catch my attention in the movie, still it was a hard sell for me to be a biopic, although there's a narration and an actual interview of how one song was written, what inspired him to write about it, there were lots of unnecessary scenes in the movie that made it look like a compiled Music Video or that video we see in a videoke machine that was turned into a movie.
Yes, it made me sing along to the classic and most iconic songs of Rey Valera in the movie, but to go through each one it felt like the movie was just extending the run time. However, on a lighter note, that boresome execution made me appreciate Rey Valera’s songwriting skills for I was amazed to know almost all songs he wrote despite the huge generation gap.
Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok Ko can honestly fit into a single Maalala Mo Kaya episode. Not to discount Rey Valera’s life experiences, but his entire story to fame was not presented well enough in the movie to be as interesting as it should've been On the other hand, I would still like to acknowledge each person that made this movie possible as it is rare for local celebrities to get their life stories on the big screen,.
