there's nothing wrong with that. the viewing public wants light, fun, easy-going films, and films with simple concepts do not necessarily mean they are mediocre. most filipino films are good films whether light or serious. i wonder why some think otherwise just because a film's subject matter is more serious than some.
I watch indie movies pero sa dvds lng. Sa totoo lng i want to be entertained like ung babae sa septic tank. And it's not my fault that i want to use my hard earned money para manood ng gusto ko. Stop judging, stop being preachy, and stop acting all high and mighty and deep just because you prefer to watch a serious movie compared to light, fun , romantic comedy, which makes me happy. If watching this movie will make you happy, then go watch.
Ah, kaya pala kunwari nakikipag-away si Andi sa Twitter. Gumigimik para may pumansin sa movie nila. Dapat umapela na Lang siya tulad ni Direk, mas gusto ng masa ang diretchong salita kaysa sa mga gimmick.
Sorry to say pero hindi lahat madadala ng best actress award even if it's from Cannes. May mga tao talaga na mas feel ang low quality or should I say cheap movies for different reasons.
Wstched the film...superb..two thumbs up para kay jaclyn, Julio and to all the cast even dun sa bombay na nagpapautang..galing!! Jackyn deserves the Cannes..congatulations..nakakalungkot lng dahil mas pinapanood ng tao ang basura movies.
If I were there talagang panonoorin ko yan. Pero the truth is some movie goers do not like to see the painful truth and reality of the common tao's daily life and sufferings. Mas gusto nila yung sandaling makalimutan nila ang hirap ng buhay.
12:56 Sadly i am one of those you speak of. My life is already riddled with problems so when I have time and money to watch movies i pick that will uplift my spirit and mood.
I think people would had been more supportive if diva Andi didn't put off a lot of moviegoers with her mad rantings on social media. She did brag that she doesnt make movies for the money. Now people are calling her bluff and actually shying away from the film hahaha.
Maka-trashy ka naman, anong tawag mo sa mga sumikat na chick flicks especially nicholas sparks movies, trash din? E dun mostly inspired mga movies dito satin using popular LTs. Depende sa film yan kahit anong genre makatawag ng basura kala mo kung sino feeling deep and high lol
I was about to watch this kasi nga lang sa isang araw once lang ishoshow tpos medyo hassle so wag na lang. I think dapat ipalabas sa mga university to para mas inform yung mga tao sa mga ganyang films
Kasi naman laging OA pagkaka.depict ni Brillantes atsaka hinuhuli at tsinutsugi na subject nya bakit panonoorin movie na yan. Wala ng makitang maganda yan sa Pinas laging worst ang pagkaka.depict sa mga obra nya..atleast bongga ang award nyo Direk
Kadalasan sa mga Pinoy kasi mabababaw, gusto nila puro loveteam kumbaga fairytale, ayaw nila ng kunektado sa reality like Ma Rosa. Nakakahiya tapos proud pa silang ayaw nila sa gantong klaseng movie e mas super may sense to kesa sa ibang pelikulang pilipino.
Sadly the Philippines Is a hard country to live in and a majority of our moviegoers - from all social classes - Choose to not have to see this reality in movies when it is already all around them. They want to go into a movie theater to escape. Calling them B**o because of this choice isn't fair. It's like getting mad at someone because they like the color red vs blue.
It doesn't matter if it won in Cannes. It also doesn't mean ppl are stupid for wanting to watch movies that are corny, shallow or the typical love team. Ppl want to be amused and get away from the usual day to day hardship. There's so much crap going on there in Pinas that they don't want to waste their hard earned money to watch something so similar to their reality. They want an escape and those other shallower movies bring that to them. You can't blame ppl for wanting to watch something that would make them laugh or kilig. Even the indies here in the US don't make as much as the blockbuster movies. It's all about a person's preference. The director's appeal will fall into deaf ears.
this is so true. i used to enjoy movies na action, horror and heavy drama but now I'm having a hard time convincing myself to watch them na. It suddenly changed after I had quarter life crisis and experienced anxiety for a few months. Parang grabe ako mag absorb ng emotions sa pinapanood ko after that. Kaya sa mga kilig2x muna ako ngayon.
The story revolves on poverty eh bakit panonoorin pa eh alam na natin yan, napapanood ng libre sa tv news and even if you are living under a rock, why will you waste your money watching a depressing film, lahat ng shows mmk, tawag ng tanghalan, soco, lahat lahat ---- isa lang ang take home message --- we are poor
Hay naku anon 9:23, maski nung umuwi si jaclyn after her win at cannes, wala man lang salubong victory party/presscon na ginawa ang gma. Yun nga lang simpleng salo salo for her win ay nag tulungan ang team at ibang kasamahan niya sa cast ng show niya sa gma. nakakadisappoint talaga ang gma. I watch shows from all the networks depende kung alin at ano ang magandang palabas nila pero nakadisappoint talaga ang gma sa ginawa nila. Palpak na nga sila sa pag build up, system & manner of support, at marketing ng talents nila, pati eto ay palpak nanaman sila eh this win is a first for phil cinema. They could have used this win to their advantage even pero palpak talaga sila. Wala man lang ka strate strategy! Sana magbago na ang gma!
Maski na di gma film yung nanalo, puwede namang ipakita ng gma ang support at pagiging proud nila na nasa kanila si jaclyn. Mahina talaga kamo ang gma sa pr at marketing.Haist!
I don't like to watch movies like that. It's enough that i'm aware of the pressing issues our country has. I read news pero to watch pa, it's too much for me. Madali ako ma-depress. My objective in watching movies is to unwind and relax.
lagyan nio kasi ng commercial value yang mga films nio para panoorin! sa mahal ng sine ngaun sinung parlolista ang magsasayang ng pera para manood nyan?
It all boils down to entertainment, ang tema ng movie ay d na iba sa atin, kumbaga alam na natin ang timpla so bat pa natin titikman. Gamay na natin ang issue ng pelikula so bat ka pa manonood.
Hanap moy pampalipas sa kahirapan ng buhay so tama lang na tangkilikin ang pelikulang magaan at nakakapawala ng stress, kahit panandalian lang
We need not to high and mighty, and degrade the other moviegoing public when they don't watch films like this. Not all moviegoers are in it for the social relevance of what they watch. Most watch movies to entertain themselves, to unwind, and appreciate the visuals and production values of the films. Just respect each other's choices.
Pasensya napo direk hindi ko type ang mga pelikula mo kahit sabihin pa na quality films yan o nanalong best actress ang bida abg gusto ko lang yung maentertaine ako sana po yung gusto ng mga tao ang gagawin nyong pelikula hindi yung gusto mo lang kami kasi gagastos
I wonder why nagiging issue na ngayon ang preference ng tao pagdating sa movie going. Sa pagkakaalala ko nung unang dumating ang pelikula dito sa Pilipinas, it was launched for entertainment. Nasa history pa nga ng pelikula na nagadjust yung mga producers to give the audience something they would want to watch, something they can relate to and something that the producers would profit from. Ang pelikula ay busines, and pelikula ay nilikha para sa entertainment. Kung gusto mong mangarap at gumawa ng pelikulang maganda at may depth na kikita ng bongga eh hindi masamang mangarap pero wag mo isiksik sa ibang tao yung kagustuhan mo. Lahat ay free will. Wag ka magpakaintelektwal na wala sa lugar kasi nakakaasar at lalo ka lang hindi paniniwalaan sa pinaglalaban mo.
-Para sa mga ang daming pinaglalaban dito sa thread na to.
Mataga ma issue yan. Problema di talaga pinapansin ang mga taong nag kukwestyon kasi nga obsessed masyado ang iba Na manatili ang status quo. Walang pagbabago at walang progress. Same old same old formula. Mas madali kasi .
Dapat lahat ng tao may boses. Dapat lahat ng tao may isip na nagtatanong. Kasi hindi ikakaganda sa lipunan natin na ang mga tao ay utak sheep. Sunod sunoran.. Pasalamat tayo sa mga taong may utak na nagtatanong sa mga gawi ng ating lipunan. Kasi kung wala sila. Walang pagbabago. Ang simula ng pagbabago ay ang pagtatanong at pagpuna sa mga hindi magandang kagawi-an nating mga pilipino. At isa si pinaka hindi maganda ay ang obsession sa loeteam loveteam at hindi pagsuporta sa mga magaling na artists at movie gaya ng ma rosa.
Please be willing to get out of your cinematic comfort zones once in awhile. You really shouldn't have to be on top of Maslow's hierarchy of needs to do that!
If we dont support films like ma rosa, how do we encourage people like direk to continue? Producers want money. So they fund what people want. meanwhile people are fed with the same dish . So this vicious cycle wont end until a group of people will work hard to try to point out what's wrong. Sadly, these people are not heard. Believe me, a lot of people are complaining but of course, you are not going to hear about it in the media because it is not for the interest of the pockets of some People. So, what we see out there is a skewed representation of the true sentiments of the viewing public.
Oh well, sad reality, the masses are still into loveteam romcoms and cliché-ridden comedies... #SadTruth 😔
ReplyDeletethere's nothing wrong with that. the viewing public wants light, fun, easy-going films, and films with simple concepts do not necessarily mean they are mediocre. most filipino films are good films whether light or serious. i wonder why some think otherwise just because a film's subject matter is more serious than some.
Delete1:45 sa wakas eto ang gusto kong makita. totoo naman, hindi porke at mabigat ang istorya ng pelikula eh mas higit sa iba, dahil hindi naman talaga.
Deleteano ang sad about that truth 12:22?
Deletewrong timing kasi dapat after sueldo o sa 15th nag open kayo.
DeleteI watch indie movies pero sa dvds lng. Sa totoo lng i want to be entertained like ung babae sa septic tank.

Deletemas gusto ng mg moviegoers ang light lang kaysa serious kasi mabigat sa dibdib pag labas mo ng sinehan
DeleteAh, kaya pala kunwari nakikipag-away si Andi sa Twitter. Gumigimik para may pumansin sa movie nila. Dapat umapela na Lang siya tulad ni Direk, mas gusto ng masa ang diretchong salita kaysa sa mga gimmick.
Delete10:39 AM i so agree with you. It's my money so I will use it the way i want. I do not want to be depressed more than I already am
Deleteoo nga, stress ka na nga sa life mo,tapos bigat pa ng papanoorin mo.
DeleteSorry to say pero hindi lahat madadala ng best actress award even if it's from Cannes. May mga tao talaga na mas feel ang low quality or should I say cheap movies for different reasons.
ReplyDeleteI THINK IF MOST OF US ARE EDUCATED, MAS MALAKI IYONG CHANCE NA MAGLORIFY IYONG MGA QUALITY FILMS TALAGA.
DeleteGanyan talaga koya hanggang proud to be Pinoy lang tayo sa social media. #fact

ReplyDeleteE yung tinegi ni Mark Anthony Fernandez yung runner niya dahil pasabit na sila?! Highlight ba yun?
DeleteOo
DeleteAppeal pa more. Eh di naman kasi worth my time and money yan. No kilig at dating for me. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteUm, your sarcasm is not doing good to anyone. Try mo sa ibang topic.

DeleteNagappeal si direk kasi halatang flop. Di naman siya magpopost if blockbuster diba?
ReplyDeleteobviously. sinabi na nga diba lack of audience?
Deleteikaw naman lack of comprehension, puro LTs kasi inaatupag
Did you leave your brain somewhere 12:32?
Delete3:48 - OBVI. NASA IMBURNAL DAW.
DeleteNo, thanks. Im saving my money for more hollywood movies nlng
ReplyDeletecrab and colonial mentality alert

ReplyDeletenagawa na yan ni andi sa pag-rant nya sa twitter, kaso opposite ang effect. mas humble, mas positive ang epeckto, kabaligtaran si andi.
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of movie that needs to be watched and supported and not the love team movies which are trashy.
ReplyDeleteEh de suportahan mo, magpa block screening ka.
Deletesus, choice mo yam, kami din may choice.
DeleteMaka-trashy ka naman, anong tawag mo sa mga sumikat na chick flicks especially nicholas sparks movies, trash din? E dun mostly inspired mga movies dito satin using popular LTs. Depende sa film yan kahit anong genre makatawag ng basura kala mo kung sino feeling deep and high lol
DeleteI was about to watch this kasi nga lang sa isang araw once lang ishoshow tpos medyo hassle so wag na lang. I think dapat ipalabas sa mga university to para mas inform yung mga tao sa mga ganyang films
ReplyDeleteTama since some claim that this movie is for awareness then forget about the earnings. Important is you deliver the message. Sa university sia bagay.
DeleteKasi naman laging OA pagkaka.depict ni Brillantes atsaka hinuhuli at tsinutsugi na subject nya bakit panonoorin movie na yan. Wala ng makitang maganda yan sa Pinas laging worst ang pagkaka.depict sa mga obra nya..atleast bongga ang award nyo Direk

ReplyDeleteIkaw na lng manood. Ako kasi mas gusto ko manood ung ma-entertain ako,hindi malungkot.
DeleteKaya wag judgemental te. To each his own.
Agree .
DeleteIf I'm there, I will watch it. This is the kind of film that should be supported. Moreover, it is so timely.
ReplyDeleteNaghihintay pa po ng sweldo. Sana kasi it was shown after the 15th or end of the month.

ReplyDeletesad to say, usually awards ang hinahakot ng mga obra niya, hindi big box-office returns. maliit lang kasi ang audience ng serious films.
