Sue Ramirez stars in the new movie ‘Flower Girl’
Actress Sue Ramirez revealed why she easily yes to the movie project Flower Girl when it was pitched to her.
Sue continues to do various acting projects. She started her career at a young age. Her first TV project was a supporting role in the 2011 drama Mula Sa Puso, featuring JM de Guzman, Lauren Young, and Enrique Gil.
Over the years, she has done a lot of acting projects on TV and in movies. She is currently promoting her new movie Flower Girl under The IdeaFirst Company.
In a recent interview, based on the article in ABS-CBN Entertainment, Sue Ramirez admitted that it did not take long for her to accept this project when it was offered to her. “It was a quick yes,” Sue said.
The actress shared she has not read the script yet but she did not hesitate to accept it. “When they pitched it to me, I loved it agad-agad, the idea of it. Oo nga, what if nga a woman loses her womanhood? Who is she now? What am I now?” she said.
In this movie, Sue plays the character of Ena who loses her womanhood, after she insulted a transwoman, played by Jervi Li Wrightson, popularly known as KaladKaren. Ena is cursed while having her intimate moment with Martin del Rosario’s character.
After that, Ena is given a magic flower and if she finds someone who truly loves her, everything will be back to normal, before all the petals fall off.
With just this concept, Sue Ramirez immediately said yes to the project. Playing Ena in the movie, the actress had to do a lot of crazy things. “I had to pull up my skirt so many time. So makikita niyo po ‘yun sa pelikulang ito, para i-check kung nadoon na ba si koochie, pero wala,” Sue enthused.
The actress said that this movie is not just about women empowerment but also for men, and everyone who is part of the society. “Hindi natin pwede i-deny that we exist, all around us,” Sue said, adding that beyond the call for understanding, the movie is also a call for respect, sensitivity, and inclusivity.
