IV. Summary
When the gifted started, it was said that there were two very talented women.
The rich, overweight and nutritious Zoe Tuazon. Zoey Tuazon likes the subject science
as one day she wants to become a Doctor. The poor Aica Tabayoyong, enthusiastic,
nerdy and goofy she likes the math subject because someday she wants to be a
Teacher. Thrown together in a Catholic school to study. They are both abnormally
smart by their well-being and vitality. A few days ago they became strong friends. They
build a passion for gloriously homemade W. Heath Robinson-esque devices that
deliver, too slowly, their vengeance on anyone who crosses them.

Their friendship continues as teenagers, until the honor of being one named
Valedictorian in their last year of high school. For Zoe this is the opportunity to go to his
chosen school, For Aica this is the opportunity to get a scholarship for education that
her parents can not afford. It was then that Zoe made a plan to use the boy Mark to
persuade Aica to make his drop marks, which eventually rips their friendship apart. By
the way Mark is considered a classmate of two women.
Many years later, both have been transformed from the ugly ducklings they once
were, thanks to reconstructive plastic surgery. Zoe is a neuroscientist who has a great
appearance in the model; Aica is a math genius who runs a program for children
sponsored by a shampoo she invites. Both girls graduate with summa cum laude
honors at their university. But as a school reunion plan to bring them back together. By
re-using Zoe to Mark to get his vengeance on Aica, when he began to really fall for him
for the fact that gloves were going out. Zoe plots revenge and shows everybody the
animated video version of Aica soiling herself pants during grade school.
Aica follows Zoe to her house and, as Aica enters, a booby trap almost kills her .
After Zoe’s several attempts of killing Aica backfire, Zoe finally gives up after Aica
almost drowns her. The two make up, but Zoe reveals it was just an act and points a
gun at Aica. Aica runs for her life only to bump into Mark who shields her from the gun
shot, wounding his face. Mark is admitted to the hospital while Aica asks Zoe to
apologize at Restaurant. At first, she shows no remorse, but upon seeing of a picture of
Mark wounded, she realizes her mistake. Aica and Mark get married the day that Zoe
plans to leave the country. She sets a trap in the couple’s hotel room which leads to a
picture of young Zoe and Aica. Zoe has left the couple a letter apologizing for the things
she had done.
V. Conflict
When Aica Tabayoyong immediately falls in love with Mark Ferrer, and Zoe
will proceed with her destructive plan. Zoe meets up with Mark and convinces him to
pretend to fall in love with Aica. In exchange Zoe does his homework and helps him
cheat on quizzes. To get down and distract Aica so she could not get the
valedictorian that Zoe could achieve it.
VI. Point of view
The movie is a wickedly cold-hearted tale of jealousy and revenge.
VII. Theme
The transformation of two girls in a movie to become a beautiful and sexy.
REVIEW
I. ANALYSIS
The Gifted shows how important it is to have a good cast. Its offbeat humor is not
your usual slapstick kind of local comedy. But for this type of dark comedy to really
work, it needs actors who are willing to push the boundaries and can afford to be both
ludicrous and sympathetic.
II. REACTION
The movie is beautiful because of the two girls who have the best talents in the
school and have graduated their course and became a valedictorian at their school. And
their transformation is unique because Zoe and Aica became more beautiful than the
past . The storyline of this movie is really wonderful.
