he is making a hasty generalization because he's having an artist block. Its like a writer's block or a mental block. Yung hindi ka na makagawa ng bago sa iyong craft. Well, that is not the problem of Philippine Cinema, maybe it is Matti's own problem.
panong bitter?He is an expert on his field and I can just imagine his frustration.. Ako mga im just a regular person and the local movies just upset me everytime.. Rated A daw .But after watching ,I can tell its just a poor copy cat of a foreign movie, kung di naman rehashed version lang ng ibang local blockbusters. Sayang creative juices ng mga direktor tulad nya because very few patronize original and novel films.
634 ako nman I will never ever watched movies na sobrang hype. Maski pa anong gype ng mga fantards. Kasi usually pinoy film very predictable na yan Lol, I'd rather watch netflix.
Tinamad ako basahin hindi dahil mahaba, kundi dahil lagi namang ganyan si Matti. Bitter pag may ibang namamayagpag na pelikula other than his. Hindi lang talaga ganon ka enticing mga pelikula nya
6:34 he is not an expert in this field.Wala nga siyang international citations like Brillante Mendoza or Segion Reyna.So hindi siya expert,he is still mediocre.
4:52 you need accolades and citations if your claim to fame is you are the Showbiz authority or you are an expert in Philippine cinema.Otherwise,who will respect you?
Hollywood guilty din dyan. Sa Vampire Diaries nga ang daming loop holes para mabuhay ang main characters. Pati sa the walking dead yun kay Glenn na nagtago sa ilalalim ng basura.
Add mo pa ang Game of Thrones Seasons 7-8 na hay naku, nawala ang sense except sa admirable VFX, production team etc. Storylines that gone awry ang peg.
Also, true naman sabi ni Erik Matti. The Pinoy film industry got stuck with the usual rom-com, repeated genres of the moment.
Instead of breaking new grounds with new, fresh and unique materials, doon na lang all the time sa cookie-cutter formulaic type.
Omg, super wrong kayung dalawa. You know nothing. These shows are fantasy shows. They are not based on reality. They have zombies, dragons, sorcerers or witches, a character that can change faces or come back to life numerous times, etc. They are like Lord of the Rings, beautifully made and well acted, unlike pinas films. Gets ninyo.
maybe because before coming up with a Hollywood movie they put in a lot of research before the project.Hindi tulad dito na pito pito, fantasy nga pero in 1 month tapos na. Yung Hollywood may mga pelikulang 2 years in the making kaya maganda.
7:01. Ke fantasy man yan may magical laws pa rin na sinusunod yan na nabanggit o nangyari sa mga previous episodes. Tapos mababali yung law na yun para mabuhay ang bida..
Expect him to make a critical opinion sa KaF Ball just like last year. Kala niya laki ng budget ala Hollywood for his high and unrealistic expectations and standards.
Getz ko Direk! Pero ayaw na nga po ng mga tao manood ng pinoy movies. Hindi dahil sa quality but so many factors. Economic, weather, Netflix, Hbo tv shows & movies etc... So, try na lang mag produce ng new genre and new story. Kumbaga, parang Lotto na lang. Kung magustuhan ng tao eh di Jackpot!
Tama sya... dapat may mabago... sa totoo lang napaka low quality ng mga series at movie ng pinoy... sana mabago ang kalakaran... like sa series o teleserye sana nakalatag na agad ang storyline tapos ipapalabas lang pag halfway done na ang shootings at tapings at editing para plantsado... sa ngayon kasi ang kapakaran taping ngayon edit ngayon palabas mamayang gabi... tsaka dapat 1 season lang muna per series tapos pag pumatok tsaka i renew pero tapusin muna season 1 tapos isaayos muna story para sa season2 wag yung agad agad ipapasok ang season 2 na magiging paikot ikot na ang story... sana talaga mabago ang sistema!
Totoo yan baks. Yung movies at teleserye natin pwedeng panoorin while nagluluto o naglalaba ka. Paramg distraction nalang sa ginagawa mo dahil boring o alam mo na ang mangyayari. Pati mga artista jusko ang akting. 😂
Totoo. Sa umpisa lang maganda, mga two weeks. Kasi yun lang ata yung natapos na nila ng matagal with editing and all. Tapos after that, papanget na ng papanget.
If only the film industry will consistently make quality movies instead of having the typical slapstick formula. the mmff is such a joke seeing most of the entries with vic, vice and perhaps another installment of the really tired shake rattle and roll. quality must trump commercial viability so pinoy audience will be conditioned that what they will watch is worth every dime. yes people want to be entertained but enterianment must be achieved by appealing to a variety of emotions AND intellect. bobo ba ang pinoy audience? we need to up the ante bec this is how the industry will overcome its current challenges.
quality flicks shouldnt be made just for festival. make it a regular commodity. reintroduce the industry as medium for the arts and not for easy money scheme with cheap stories banking on popular actors.
2:32 korek tama naman na pag ibahin ang mga awards kung para sa indie films or para sa mga hit at main stream films.Kasi hindi na mauuto ang mga audience ngayon.They know the difference.
pinoy audience are not bobo! ginawa na nga ung mmff na puro quality films kaso ayaw talaga panoodin ng paying public eh. they are not bobo, they know which movie will give their money's worth. wag na ipilit yang mga quality movie kuno kasi hindi ako magalsaya ng pera para dyan. sa free tv lang yan or cable channel pinapanood not on cinema. kklk!
Noong unang panahon,nanood ang mga matatanda ng Boudaville,Sarsuella na live.Nauso ang mga grand production,parte ito ng kultura ng Pilipino.Now,we can't say that our ancestors are stupid,for watching these shows for entertainment post war era.Nageevolve ang cinema pati gusto ng mga tao.Respetuhin natin ito.
Ayan na naman sya. Pero nung may nagbigay ng ibang klaseng movie tinawag nya na thesis-level. Never din sya nagmention na mag pinanood sya ng local movie. Puro hollywood or ibternational films lang pinapanood nyan.
May movie ka ba na ipapalabas direk? Pumuputak ka lang pag may movoe ka e.
Mag retire na dapat yan.Palagi na lang nagrereklamo pero pelikula nya kasi yung flop na tipong nanghohingi ng justice dahil first day last day sa sinehan.Hindi nya mapipilit ang mga tao na panoorin yung kanya.
Exactly. Agree with all of you. Though its true na madaming hindi ok na movies dito, hindi din naman magaganda yung kanya. He's one to talk pero he can't even make his movie interesting
Hollywood for the win lmao! You can always just make films for the pa-woke and pa-cool lol. Ang problema kasi sa mga filmmakers na to sobrang entitled. Feeling high and mighty na above everyone else. Why don’t you hush up and let your great work speak for you? And then maybe the world will shift. Maybe the audience will slowly be captivated again by something different. Hindi yung whine ng whine for the sake of whining.
Agree 1258. Kasi sabi nga kahit anong hype na quality movie yan or critically acclaimed pa yan, kapag ayaw ng masa ayaw talaga. Gumawa lang sila ng gusto nila and then malay mo, magustuhan ng tao. Hindi yung ang daming kuda sa socmed.
True,pansin ko lang ,reklamador tang si direk lagi niyang pinupush mga pelikula niyang hindi kumikita at mukhang inggit na inggit sa mga pelikulang box office
Kahit naman dito sa amin sa North America. Hindi na rin nanonood masyado ng movies ang mga tao. Kasi lahat accessible na sa internet. Ang pinapanood na lang ng mga tao yung mga much anticipated movie like Marvel, Disney, DC etc... pero mga 1-2 weeks lang yan. And then ang mga tao sa Illegal download sa internet na manonood. Sa Pinas ganon din. Infact di na nga alam ng mga big producers kung anong formula ang gagawin para lumabas & gumastos ang movie goers.
Marvel, DC at Disney 1-2 weeks? movie theaters are still crowded after a month kaya we usually wait kung hindi namin gusto makipagsabayan sa pila or go to drive in.
Direk gawa lang kayo ng gawa ng quality movies. Walang pumipigil sa inio. Just dont expect na kikita yan that much. At hindi mo pwedeng iimpose sa mga moviegoers na panoorin ang movie mo kung ayaw nila. Gone are the days na pinipilahan ang quality movies. Millenial na ngayon. Ang gusto ng tao matawa at kiligin hindi mastress at malungkot. Kaya wag masyado magparinig. Sobrang bitter mo. Kabuseeettt
Wrong ka. Pinas movies are mostly pabebe, pakilig, love-love nonsense. And they rehash it over and aver again just to make money. The same noisy, cheap, baduy, shallow nonsense.
tama hahaha... bakit mo pipilitin na manood ng sine mo ang tao eh hindi naman free entrance. kklk! hirap kumita ng pera tapos manonood ka lang ng movie dahil quality kahit hindi ka magenjoy?
Un/Fortunately, buying public ang staple viewers ng kapamilya and star cinema rules. Kahit viva nalagpasan na nila sa box office. Whether the movies are of good quality or not, the truth is they are patronized by the masses...
Sa dami kasi ng problem ng pinoy, ayaw na nilang manood ng problema din or yung may mga social relevance. They just want to entertain, yung feel good movies, yung nakaka-relate sila, gusto nilang tumawa & kiligin . And that’s Pinoy! Yung talaga sila. But try din nilang gumawa ng Iba or something different, baka sakaling magustuhan nila but no guarantee na magiging blockbuster.
Kung gusto ni Direk ng variety aside from the usual pabebe or slapstick comedy,mag produce sila ng pang mga brusko or maton.Asan ang mga action movies?
Kayo may kasalanan n’yan kase masyado kayong pa-deep kaya gumagawa kayo mismo ng sarili n’yong multo. No one needs a completely groundbreaking never been done story. People want what they want. That’s it. It’s not rocket science. You’re overthinking kaya hindi kayo makagawa ng maayos na produkto. You want it all. Critical acclaim and commercial box office? That’s rare. No one can have it all, Sir. In any industry, there are genres that cater to the mass market and those that are niche. That’s why in music, you have pop. In movies, you have mainstream commercial movies. The intellectuals kuno sneer at these genres like they’re more superior than the rest who enjoys these. Truth is, each genre has its own redeeming qualities and they all exist so that everyone can have a fill of what they want according to their tastes so it’s useless to question this much. Stop overthinking. Stop complaining. If you want profit, give the public what they want. If you want to go outside the box, risk losing the money. It’s one or the other. But never dictate to the public what they should and they shouldn’t want to see. That’s just condescending, snobbish, rude and ignorant. Respect everyone’s choices.
siguro naisip ni Matti sa tagal na niya sa industriya wala pa siyang napapatunayan. Gusto niyang maging batikan like Brillante Mendoza sa Cannes but he never had the chance kaya palaging parang may pinaglalaban.
Brillante Mendoza and his work looked timeless and has that international appeal after his Cannes success. Not only that but Brillante was lowkey and he let his projects speak.
I agree with this, of course arthouse films will never match yung hatak ng mainstream movies. Ever. Even sa hollywood films dumb movies like the fast and furious franchise eh pinipilahan time and time again...parang enteng kabisote lang or shake rattle and roll. Sa sobrang tagal ng dalawang movies na yan sa takilya sobrang lalim na ng connection niyan sa pinoy pop culture. Yung mga audience who grew up watching those movies will most likely take their children to watch the same movies as well. That's just how people are. Hindi yung mga movies na yun ang problema...i feel like it's the fact na wala kang means na i-market or ipromote ang movie mo sa pinas unless you are part of the two networks...or you suck at promoting like matti na lalong nagalienate ng viewers with his rants. Wala kang chance ng TV guesting, etc. unless artista ka sa major networks, and even sa ganung cases kung ang movie ay hindi produced by star cinema or viva eh hindi ka masyado makakapag promote, just a brief mention sa news and thats it. I dunno if it's a matter of taste, people just don't know about what a movie can offer cause walang platform (apart from the internet) kung saan pwedeng mapagusapan ang movie, maexpose yung cast, etc. Dahil din dun kaya tye audience tend to end up making assumptions about the movie (bakit di sikat ang cast, mukhang mabigat ang plot, etc.). Pero pag nabigyan ng hype, posible naman na pilahan din ang "ibang" movie. Who would think na may manunuod kela empoy, john arcilla, etc. as lead until nagkaroon sila ng buzz sa social media?
Correct! There were movies out there exploring different genres, it's just hindi talaga tinatangkilik ng masa. Sa dami ng mga film festivals natin ngayon showcasing different types of genre, madaming pagpipilian ang Pinoy masses and yet ayaw nila. So wag sisihin kung mas kumikita pa rin ang mainstream films.
Maski sino naman matinong director, ma disappoint kung ang mga blockbuster na movies sa Pinas, ay yung mga fan based lang ang dating ng stories. In this digital world, naging mababaw na din ang utak ng mga tao.
ang mga pelikula ay may kanya kanyang target audience. Ngayon kung masyadong deep at hindi na maarok ng nasa middle class ang pelikula mo, time to rethink your formula.
Even if the premise may sound cliche, there is beauty in a story done really well as to make the cliche 'fresh' again. I think your cynicism and self importance has missed that mr matti.
Sorry to break it to you, Sir but what’s quality for you may be trash for another person. Kaya ho tayo may kanya kanyang genre na tinatangkilik kase iba iba ng taste ang bawat isa. Hindi ko alam saan n’yo nakuha ‘yung thinking na kayo ang may karapatan mag dikta kung ano ang quality at hindi at kung ano ang dapat panoorin ng mga tao. You have no right to impose what the audience should like and you have no right to discredit movies or projects that earned because the audience liked them better than what you considered quality. So entitled.
Sa movies na lang nga kasiyahan ng iba papakelaman mo pa. Ano gusto mo direk, yung mga lav diaz-paul soriano films na aabutin ng siyam siyam sa sinehan? Masabi lang na deep ang viewers at intelehente? La ka pake kahit babalu or dolphy movie pa panuodin namin. Thats our money. U dont tell us what should we watch!!!
The movie industry isn’t dead. It’s just the audience will always prefer lt pabebe movies. Proof is the fact the only 2 box office movies this year so far were headlined by lts or had the same star cinema love story formula.
And? So what if gusto ng tao ang love story? Titanic was a love story. My goodness even Avatar had a love story. But did anyone call these movies pabebe? No. Because they were from Hollywood? Ganun ba ‘yun?
The 2 box office movies that you've mentioned were not pabebe movies. Yan ang hirap masydo nyo ine-equate na basta loveteam ang bida automatically pabebe na. Have you read the reviews of those movies especially the latter one?
I just watched sa Netflix "Ang babaeng allergic sa wifi". Am sure it did not make a killing in the box office. Hindi kasi mag LT ang mga artista. I was pleasantly surprised na maganda siya. Feel good love story. Hindi siya pakilig lang and may depth pa. This is the type of love story which is worth watching...
8:18 both those movies were pabebe, nothing that hasn’t already been done before. Recycled love story plots with recycled drama plots. Actors are well known pabebe actors esp the latter.
Ang babaeng Allergic sa wifi is a better movie than yon pabebeng movie. Tamang tama yon execution, walang unnecessary scenes or characters na hindi naman na kailangan pa sa movie. Pinagisipan din yon musical score. Spot on yon mga narrative ng characters. Walang heavy scenes or iyakan pero ramdam mo. Overall magaling na filmmaker si jun lana. Hindi nga lang sikat yon mga artista kaya hindi sinuportahan ng masa.
I’m sick of the pa-woke, pa-intellectual types who just loves to discredit and invalidate the successes of other people. Hindi patay ang industry. People will watch your projects if they enjoy it. Stop being so haughty, try to be authentic to yourself and maybe it will shine through your body of work and gain the public’s support.
True. To be honest parang nabubuhay pa nga ngayon ang movies. May lumalabas na magaganda at worth watching. That doesn't include your movies Matti, sorry to say.
Ito ang problema ng mga iba sa atin. Reklamador, they have their own rants specific about their own experiences but they project it on others. Problema na ni Matti yan if thats how he view things or the small success of Philippine Cinema.
This director thought he's better than everyone. Buy bust, Aswang Chronicles, Scorpio Nights 2 are some of his movies... Are all those films revolutionary in Philippine cinema? Definitely NOT! His movies are as lame as his frustrations.
Correct. He lacks creativity and needs to work on his execution. Akala nya kasi sobrang galing nya at viewers ang problema. Sorry direk, but your movies suck.
You weren't even able to inject change into the retelling of the most classic pinoy superhero tale so why expect it of others? Hindi nga naka lipad si darna nung ikaw ang direktor o.
Babayad ka ng 220 sa pelikula. Bibili ka pa pagkain. Pabebe lang naman mapapanood mo. Na napamahal lang ang production kasi ginawa sa ibang bansa. Mag netflix nalang ako. 500 wan to sawa. Walang pang ADVERSTISEMENT NG MGA INEENDORSE NG MGA ARTISTA. Nag bayad ka... tapos me endorsement? Bastusan? Low budget na nga me endorsement pa.

paulit ulit ka?!? sa netflix ka manood. Wag mo pakialaman yung mga iba kung ano ang gagawin nila sa pera nila at anong pelikula ang pag aaksayahan ng panahon.
nagkakaganyan na naman yan kasi tumabo sa takilya yung pinalabas na pelikula nun higanteng network. nainggit na naman. feeling kasi ng Matti na yan na dapat mas panoorin pelikula niya dahil high quality kaysa sa ibang pelikula na iniisip niya na basura. eh pareho pareho lang naman silang walang ma-idish na bago. Akala mo kung sinong magaling.
Sana kasi madami pang out of the box movies na produce now...like yung lesbian films, coming out, prostitution.... Kasi yun naman yung reality eh... I hope producers and writers would take risks
Most indies movies are tackling those. Ang problema hindi sya tinatangkilik ng masa. Hindi nyo talaga mapipilit ang masa kung ano ang dapat panoorin nila.
may tipo ng audience na gusto nila yan, meron din naman na gusto yung comedy, love story , pambata at mga pang maton. So kanya kanyang gusto yan. Magkakaalaman na lang kung kikita ba ang pelikula.
baks gusto ng masa laging relatable, jusme di tayo makakagawa ng ala star wars na movie kasi 1. walang budget and 2. hindi relatable, wala tayong mga jedis or superheroes with super sexy body lol.
Direk Erik, improve on your craft naman kasi. Wala akong nagustuhan sa mga movies mo kahit ano pa genre. Kung gusto nyo po magbago tungo sa kaunlaran ang Philippine movies eh simulan nyo po sa sarili nyo. May mga asian directors na po na nakapenetrate sa Hollywood. James Wan director of Fast and Furious and Aquaman, and now Chloe Zhao director or Eternals. Mag level up po tayo sa skills as writer director.
Depende rin kasi sa ekonomiya at takbo ng estado ng buhay ng nakararami yung mga kumikitang pelikula lately. Bakit puro “mababaw”? Kasi ang daming Pinoy na gusto lang makalimot sandali sa nangyayari sa paligid o personal na buhay niya. Sa US, uso superhero movies, kasi kung titignan mo parang it’s wishful thinking na may ganun sila in real life dahil sa samu’t-saring violent acts na nagaganap dun. Nireremake o nirereboot yung mga popular pambata movies at shows kasi it reminds people of their happier childhoods nung wala pa silang iniintindi na adulting problems. Maraming bansa ang ganyan. That doesn’t mean wala ng quality movies na lumalabas. Kahit satin meron pa, you just have to look beyond the mainstream naman.
Also, Erik Matti should stop being condescending to people who watch these movies. Di nya pera yan, hindi nya alam pinagdadaanan at rason ng mga tao na yan. That’s not the way you convince people to listen to you, kasehodang may punto rin naman mga sinasabi niya.
Buy Bust is a disappointment. Maganda ang cinematography pero ang plot was exhausting and walang selling point. It would have been better kung meron man lang twist o kaya deeper plot pero waley. Acting ni Anne was mediocre. Ano pinagsasabi nito ni Matti ?
3 days script-writing?! No wonder basura talaga Filipino movies. Suicide Squad had its script written in 6 weeks but it was still deemed mediocre. Yung Mr Sunshine na kdrama, years pinag-isipan yung storyline kaya naman ang ganda ng result, tight yung story. Meanwhile sa Probinsyano, paulit-ulit nalang dialogue kasi ang dami-dami na nilang characters who do nothing but grimace when the camera is focused on them. Usually in one episode, they say one line and that's it! Puro nalang filler dialogue. Michael de Mesa is probably rolling his eyes at the inane lines he had to say.
So true. I just watch Tarintino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. It’s a comedy-drama but it’s beautifully made. The comedy is so natural, nothing is forced and the 60s look and set are so meticulously presented. They even transformed the Hollywood strip as it was in the 60s and it looks so authentic. And of course they have first rate actors giving the story and the script life.
Tama naman talaga si direk.movies should be a medium for education and culture. example talaga ang magic temple, na hakot awards noon sa mmff at box office hit din. Legit entertaining, pampamilya at may matututunan. Sana ganun pa rin ang mmff ngayon.
Glad to see the pista ng pelikulang Pilipino is somewhat like that. Sana PPP na lang sa Pasko at ibasura na ang mmff.
Wala na kasi magagaling writers at directors. Di gaya nung 70-80's. Tsaka those times were golden times Ng Filipino komiks pagalingan mga writers sa mga novels nila, dami pede panggalingan materials for movies. Parang sa OPM din, 70-80's din damibg magagaling lyricists at composers, na ang puro music ngayonnirerevive na lang
Actually depende din talaga sa artistang bibida kung gusto sila panoorin ng tao. Hello, yung isang LT hindi din naman kumikita ang pelikula. At yung buy bust ni Matti kumita din naman dahil si Anne ang bida.
Direk switch ka na sa LT na pakilig love stories. Huwag mo ng gamitan ng utak pag gawa ng script. Sayang lang, lagyan mo lang ng konting tweak and spend a lot on marketing hype para pati taga bundok, mapanood yung masa movie mo. For sure, maging blockbuster ito maski mababaw lang siya...
Hay rant all you want. At the end of the day, it is still the people’s money. They can spend it as to where they want it. Ang basura sa iyo, pwedeng may pakinabang sa iba. Don’t belittle any film dahil feeling mo artsy fartsy ka. Tsura nito.
Direk, mag invest ka sa magaling na marketing strategy para sa mga movies mo, tulad nung isang network. Purgahin mo ng previews ng movie mo before showing para maski taga bundok panoorin nila ito.
He has a point. I don't think it's negative at all. The problem is the audience is the boss and filiponos like cliches - love teams, kilig, sampalan, api-apihan, you name it. Producers do not care about the quality. They care about their return of investment.
Middle class pinoys ang main audience ng mga pelikulang pinoy. Sila rin yung captured market ng abscbn/star cinema. Kaya sensibilities nila ang hinahabol ng mga movie concepts ngayon.
Ayaw ng middle class sa mga pelikulang puro kahirapan at social injustices ang pinapakita. Di sila nakakarelate. Bakit? Kasi nagbabago na rin ang pilipinas. Ilang taon na rin tayong more than 5% ang gdp growth rate taon-taon. Bukod sa di masulosyunang traffic eh umuunlad ang pilipinas sa ibang aspeto. Tumataas ang purchasing power ng mga tao, nagkakatrabaho, nakakapagtravel, nakakakain sa mga restaurants, nakakabili ng condo sa high rise buildings, nakakapagdrive ng sariling kotse o nakka-afford mag-grab. Yung mga blighted areas nagigentrify na ng paunti-unti. Ano bang gustong ipakita ni erik matti, yung pelikula nyang nagbabarilan sa walang katapusang slum area, na mistulang zombie ang mga tao. Walang lugar sa pilipinas na ganon kadesperado. Yung miďdle class na bibili ng tiket sa sine hindi na makakarelate sa kanya. Gusto nila ng pelikulang tungkol sa middle class concerns nila.
At sa totoo lang hindi rin naman ganon kataas ang quality ng mga indie films na artsy fartsy ngayon. Nakakasawa na yung poverty porn. Nagpakita lang ng slum area, akala mo intelektwal na. 80's pa yang mga ideyang yan, at wala rin naman napuntahan. Nabubuhay na lang sa utak ng mga makakaliwang college students na wala rin namang alam. Kung sila ang masusunod at tatangkilikin yang art nila, magagaya lang tayo sa venezuela na ngayon ay nagugutom.
Samantala patuloy ang pag-unlad ng pilipinas. From low to upper middle income economy. Kelangan makisabay ang pelikulang pilipino sa zeitgeist ng panahon
if you are the audience, you went to the movie house to escape reality. You want to relax and enjoy your time. You don't want to see poverty,prostitution,the slums, etc etc. and leave the cinema with a heavy heart. You want to be entertained. This Matti should consider that. He is not the authority of Philippine movies. Che!
bakit direk nanalo kana ba ng Oscar award para makapag rant ng ganyan?? sa pagkakaintindi ko mga gawa molang ang maganda pero hindi tinatangkilik ng mga manonood, pero ano ba ang gawa mo ang pwede mong maipagmalaki sa buong mundo??? wala diba??? so ano ang saysay ng reklamo mo?? bakit hindi mo patunayan muna sa sarili mo yung mga hinaing mo para naman maniwala ang mga manonood sa kakayahan mo.
I've admired the works of Lars Von Trier, Quentine Tarantino, and Park Chan-wook. And I tell you, their films are not for the faint-hearted or the easily offended. It caters only to a few groups of people but they are respected in their genre. Although not all people support their films and are not considered box-office material, I just don't hear any news of them ranting on social media how most people don't support their works. They just continue to make more films whether you watch it or not.
correct. Concentrate lang sila sa art nila, pero itong si Matti, panay kuda sa socmed pero hindi siya ang basehan or sinasabing eksperto when it comes to Philippine movies. So bakit parang siya ang tigapagsalita ng Movie Industry. Sino ba siya?
5:33 Magagaling na filmmakers, pero never sila ma appreciate mg masang pinoy, kasi lahat ng movies nila hindi "relatable". Kung yan mga choices mo na directors, it just shows na marunong kang kumilatis ng film kung baga ibang level ang IQ mo at weirdness which is a good thing.
Be thankful na may pabebe and slapstick comedy dahil nagbibigay ng maraming trabaho sa mga tiga movie industry.Sila ang pampabawi sa mga lugi ng artsy fartsy films.
anu bang movie nitong si direk na critically acclaimed? kala mo napakagaling eh ni hindi nga kalevel sula chito roño at segion-reyna di ba? matti was known not for quality films but for bomba films.
Walang ginawa kundi magreklamo.Parang sinasabi ni direk na bakit ang tao nanood noon ng sarswela o palabas ni Dolphy? Dahil parte ito ng kultura.Nalilibang ang mga Pilipino.Hindi mo pwedeng maliitin o insultuhin ang gustong panoorin ng tao sa mga panahong iyon.
1. Ano po ba ang klase ng pelikula na gusto nyo mapanood? 2. Ano ba ang hinahanap ng pinoy audience sa isang pelikula para lumabas kayo ng bahay, bumili ng tiket at panoorin ito?
Minsan kasi ang pinoy audience bibigyan ng matinong pelikula pero hindi papanoorin, pero bigyan mo ng adobo araw araw so to speak, hindi magsasawa, gaya ng romcom kahit paulit ulit na story yun pa rin ang gusto.
Baks, nakakaumay din ang adobo araw araw. Kung madiskarte kang tao, pwde mo gawin yon adobo mo filling sa siopao or tacos, or gawin sandwich. Dapat ganon ang filmmakers dapat marunong sila maginnovate. Ang problema dito yon masa na gusto lang lagi ng plain adobo, may mga filmmakers/producers na gusto safe ang lutong adobo nila, yon alam nila kakainin ng masa. Nagutom tuloy ako, buti naghumba kami lol.
oh anu pinaglalaban mo? wala namang himuhingi ng matinong pelikula. kaya nga nagrereklamo si direk kasi wala syang demand sa buying pinoy. may pa tanong tanong ka pa eh ikaw na din sumagot sa tanong mo.
That's why I don't watch Filipino movies...super predictable, common, cliche ng mga plots. Family issues, mahirap pumunta ng ibang bansa, mayamang guy and mahirap na girl, third party etc. etc. Paulit ulit..paikot ikot..not worth my money. Please respect. This is my opinion. Wala man lang nakakagawa ng tipong THREE IDIOTS na story or Fabricated City.
Because pinoy movies are but a reflection of your Pinoy culture. Make a different plot, the Pinoys wont be able to relate to. Kaya kumikita ang blockbuster pinoy movies kasa relatable sya sa masa nanonood ng movie pampalipas oras or pamparelax lang. you cant deny Pinoys are innately mababaw ang kasiyahan.
he should retire. Ngitngit siya sa mga box office success ng mga pelikula. Dati kesyo palubog na daw ang Movie Industry pero nasupalpal kasi may mga biglang box office na pelikula. Inggit na inggit ito.
In showbiz,you are only as good as your last project.OJT was years ago.Has been na,after nun wala ng pelikula na tumatak si Matti.He was not able to reinvent himself.Napag iwanan na.
Agree that even our art-houses are becoming stale. Sad. Understandable pa ang deterioration ng mainstream films eh. Now even the supposed artful and quality ones have gone basic. Take away the sex, poverty porn, and LGBTQ facets, wala naman talaga laman ang films. So tired.
Bago sana kumuda kuda si direk,gumawa muna siya ng mga pelikulang malaki ang naiambag sa lipunan.Yung nakakabuhay sa Philippine cinema,nakapagpapasigla ng movie industry hindi yung mga pelikulang NAKAKAPAGLUGI ng Philippine cinema.
hmmmm.bitter ka lng po direk kc box office hits yang mga sinasabi mong cliche, rehash etc
ReplyDeleteTHE nega direk Matti. 🙄
DeleteAy naku matti yung advocacy mo tinamad akong basahin. Ganun na ang manonood ngayon short attention span na. Ok. Next movie.
DeleteYan pala si Erik Matti. Hawig ko pala siya.
Deletehe is making a hasty generalization because he's having an artist block. Its like a writer's block or a mental block. Yung hindi ka na makagawa ng bago sa iyong craft. Well, that is not the problem of Philippine Cinema, maybe it is Matti's own problem.
Deletepanong bitter?He is an expert on his field and I can just imagine his frustration.. Ako mga im just a regular person and the local movies just upset me everytime.. Rated A daw .But after watching ,I can tell its just a poor copy cat of a foreign movie, kung di naman rehashed version lang ng ibang local blockbusters. Sayang creative juices ng mga direktor tulad nya because very few patronize original and novel films.
DeleteTruth hurts. He tells the truth.
Delete634 ako nman I will never ever watched movies na sobrang hype. Maski pa anong gype ng mga fantards. Kasi usually pinoy film very predictable na yan
DeleteLol, I'd rather watch netflix.
npag iiwanan ang fil cinema, kse kulang sa creativity and originality. stuck n lng tayo sa kabitan
DeleteTinamad ako basahin hindi dahil mahaba, kundi dahil lagi namang ganyan si Matti. Bitter pag may ibang namamayagpag na pelikula other than his. Hindi lang talaga ganon ka enticing mga pelikula nya
Delete6:34 he is not an expert in this field.Wala nga siyang international citations like Brillante Mendoza or Segion Reyna.So hindi siya expert,he is still mediocre.
Delete634 expect, but can't make good movies?
DeleteExpert*
DeleteTama ka dyan at semplang sa takilya ang huling horror movie na si sharon pa ang bida
Delete10:40, you don’t need some citations to see how awful and horrible pinas movies are. Lol.
Delete@139, ang malas mo naman
Delete4:52 you need accolades and citations if your claim to fame is you are the Showbiz authority or you are an expert in Philippine cinema.Otherwise,who will respect you?
DeleteEh sir. Wala nga ako maalala sa ginawa nyu po? Puro grace molina lang usually ang tumatatak. At wen de ramas.
ReplyDeleteYou mean, Cathy Molina?
DeleteSino si Grace Molina baks?
DeleteSi Tonet Jadaone at 1:25
Delete1:25 kapatid yan ni Cathy Garcia- Molina 🤣
Deletemga bomba films ang movie nia baks. like ekis at scorpio nights hahaha high quality di ba?
DeleteNatawa ako mga baks!! Baka Gracia-Molina kaya Grace 😂
DeleteHollywood guilty din dyan. Sa Vampire Diaries nga ang daming loop holes para mabuhay ang main characters. Pati sa the walking dead yun kay Glenn na nagtago sa ilalalim ng basura.
ReplyDeleteAdd mo pa ang Game of Thrones Seasons 7-8 na hay naku, nawala ang sense except sa admirable VFX, production team etc. Storylines that gone awry ang peg.
DeleteAlso, true naman sabi ni Erik Matti. The Pinoy film industry got stuck with the usual rom-com, repeated genres of the moment.
Instead of breaking new grounds with new, fresh and unique materials, doon na lang all the time sa cookie-cutter formulaic type.
Omg, super wrong kayung dalawa. You know nothing. These shows are fantasy shows. They are not based on reality. They have zombies, dragons, sorcerers or witches, a character that can change faces or come back to life numerous times, etc. They are like Lord of the Rings, beautifully made and well acted, unlike pinas films. Gets ninyo.
Deletemaybe because before coming up with a Hollywood movie they put in a lot of research before the project.Hindi tulad dito na pito pito, fantasy nga pero in 1 month tapos na. Yung Hollywood may mga pelikulang 2 years in the making kaya maganda.
Delete7:01. Ke fantasy man yan may magical laws pa rin na sinusunod yan na nabanggit o nangyari sa mga previous episodes. Tapos mababali yung law na yun para mabuhay ang bida..
DeleteUhm...vampire diaries...icocompare sa lord of the rings, na apart from being a widely popular movie eh literary classic din ang source material?
Delete7:01, Tama ka. They are confused yata.
Delete6:06, 1:05, you make no sense.
DeleteExpect him to make a critical opinion sa KaF Ball just like last year. Kala niya laki ng budget ala Hollywood for his high and unrealistic expectations and standards.
ReplyDeleteAnd he's not that good to be honest. If he is di sana laging box office ang movies.
DeleteClicked on the link with trepidation na baka pa-intelektwal rant lang but totoo mga sinabi niya. And he was honwst enough to admit he had a part
ReplyDeleteGetz ko Direk! Pero ayaw na nga po ng mga tao manood ng pinoy movies. Hindi dahil sa quality but so many factors. Economic, weather, Netflix, Hbo tv shows & movies etc... So, try na lang mag produce ng new genre and new story. Kumbaga, parang Lotto na lang. Kung magustuhan ng tao eh di Jackpot!
ReplyDeleteWrong, the quality is so horrible and the genre are all the same (the same love this, love that nonsense).
Delete7:16 then again ,if its not your taste,don't watch.Simple.
DeleteTama sya... dapat may mabago... sa totoo lang napaka low quality ng mga series at movie ng pinoy... sana mabago ang kalakaran... like sa series o teleserye sana nakalatag na agad ang storyline tapos ipapalabas lang pag halfway done na ang shootings at tapings at editing para plantsado... sa ngayon kasi ang kapakaran taping ngayon edit ngayon palabas mamayang gabi... tsaka dapat 1 season lang muna per series tapos pag pumatok tsaka i renew pero tapusin muna season 1 tapos isaayos muna story para sa season2 wag yung agad agad ipapasok ang season 2 na magiging paikot ikot na ang story... sana talaga mabago ang sistema!
ReplyDeleteTotoo yan baks. Yung movies at teleserye natin pwedeng panoorin while nagluluto o naglalaba ka. Paramg distraction nalang sa ginagawa mo dahil boring o alam mo na ang mangyayari. Pati mga artista jusko ang akting. 😂
DeleteAhmm 229, iyun naman talaga ang pinagmulan ng term na soap opera aka teleserye.
DeleteOmg, so true. I cringe every time I see pinas tv shows and movies. They are so badly made.
DeleteTotoo. Sa umpisa lang maganda, mga two weeks. Kasi yun lang ata yung natapos na nila ng matagal with editing and all. Tapos after that, papanget na ng papanget.
DeleteIf only the film industry will consistently make quality movies instead of having the typical slapstick formula. the mmff is such a joke seeing most of the entries with vic, vice and perhaps another installment of the really tired shake rattle and roll. quality must trump commercial viability so pinoy audience will be conditioned that what they will watch is worth every dime. yes people want to be entertained but enterianment must be achieved by appealing to a variety of emotions AND intellect. bobo ba ang pinoy audience? we need to up the ante bec this is how the industry will overcome its current challenges.
ReplyDeletethis is the reason why we have Cinemalaya to showcase the artsy fartsy movies.
Deletequality flicks shouldnt be made just for festival. make it a regular commodity. reintroduce the industry as medium for the arts and not for easy money scheme with cheap stories banking on popular actors.
DeleteSo true. Our movies are so embarrassing.
Delete2:32 korek tama naman na pag ibahin ang mga awards kung para sa indie films or para sa mga hit at main stream films.Kasi hindi na mauuto ang mga audience ngayon.They know the difference.
Deletepinoy audience are not bobo! ginawa na nga ung mmff na puro quality films kaso ayaw talaga panoodin ng paying public eh. they are not bobo, they know which movie will give their money's worth. wag na ipilit yang mga quality movie kuno kasi hindi ako magalsaya ng pera para dyan. sa free tv lang yan or cable channel pinapanood not on cinema. kklk!
DeleteHindi niyo haeak ang osipan ng Pilipino kung anong pelikula ang pagaaksayahan ng pera at panahon.
DeleteI honestly liked Heneral Luna. Parang ibang level pinoy film yun.
DeleteNoong unang panahon,nanood ang mga matatanda ng Boudaville,Sarsuella na live.Nauso ang mga grand production,parte ito ng kultura ng Pilipino.Now,we can't say that our ancestors are stupid,for watching these shows for entertainment post war era.Nageevolve ang cinema pati gusto ng mga tao.Respetuhin natin ito.
DeleteAyan na naman sya. Pero nung may nagbigay ng ibang klaseng movie tinawag nya na thesis-level. Never din sya nagmention na mag pinanood sya ng local movie. Puro hollywood or ibternational films lang pinapanood nyan.
ReplyDeleteMay movie ka ba na ipapalabas direk? Pumuputak ka lang pag may movoe ka e.
Walang mas magaling kungdi siya.
Deletefeeling Hollywood director yang si Matti eh basura din naman yung ginawa niyang mga pelikula
DeleteMag retire na dapat yan.Palagi na lang nagrereklamo pero pelikula nya kasi yung flop na tipong nanghohingi ng justice dahil first day last day sa sinehan.Hindi nya mapipilit ang mga tao na panoorin yung kanya.
DeleteWalang international awards si Matti to become an authority in the film industry.
DeleteExactly. Agree with all of you. Though its true na madaming hindi ok na movies dito, hindi din naman magaganda yung kanya. He's one to talk pero he can't even make his movie interesting
DeleteHindi naman first day laat day ang kwaresma 8:59 am ah... un lang flop pa ring matatawag kahit si sharon pa ang bida
DeleteE kung mangibang bansa na lang si Matti at doon mag direktor.Kasi baka naman hindi siya nababagay sa panlasa ng mga Pilipino.
Delete937 the problem is, he's not that good.
DeleteHollywood for the win lmao! You can always just make films for the pa-woke and pa-cool lol. Ang problema kasi sa mga filmmakers na to sobrang entitled. Feeling high and mighty na above everyone else. Why don’t you hush up and let your great work speak for you? And then maybe the world will shift. Maybe the audience will slowly be captivated again by something different. Hindi yung whine ng whine for the sake of whining.
ReplyDeleteAgree 1258. Kasi sabi nga kahit anong hype na quality movie yan or critically acclaimed pa yan, kapag ayaw ng masa ayaw talaga. Gumawa lang sila ng gusto nila and then malay mo, magustuhan ng tao. Hindi yung ang daming kuda sa socmed.
DeleteTrue,pansin ko lang ,reklamador tang si direk lagi niyang pinupush mga pelikula niyang hindi kumikita at mukhang inggit na inggit sa mga pelikulang box office
Deletetama! ayaw magadjust tapos gusto kumita ang movie nia hahaha... kklk!
DeleteMay pa suggest suggest pa siya sa mga iconic roles.Buti nga hindi pinakinggan ng management.
DeleteKahit naman dito sa amin sa North America. Hindi na rin nanonood masyado ng movies ang mga tao. Kasi lahat accessible na sa internet. Ang pinapanood na lang ng mga tao yung mga much anticipated movie like Marvel, Disney, DC etc... pero mga 1-2 weeks lang yan. And then ang mga tao sa Illegal download sa internet na manonood. Sa Pinas ganon din. Infact di na nga alam ng mga big producers kung anong formula ang gagawin para lumabas & gumastos ang movie goers.
ReplyDeleteMarvel, DC at Disney 1-2 weeks? movie theaters are still crowded after a month kaya we usually wait kung hindi namin gusto makipagsabayan sa pila or go to drive in.
DeleteMagkano ba ang budget ng Disney at Marvel movies. Kaya ba iyan ng Pilipinas.
DeleteWrong. Hollywood movies are still very profitable, making money in the tens of billions worldwide.
Deletedito sa amin sa saudi ganyan na ganyan din. marvel, disney at dc lang pinipilahan.
DeleteDirek gawa lang kayo ng gawa ng quality movies. Walang pumipigil sa inio. Just dont expect na kikita yan that much. At hindi mo pwedeng iimpose sa mga moviegoers na panoorin ang movie mo kung ayaw nila. Gone are the days na pinipilahan ang quality movies. Millenial na ngayon. Ang gusto ng tao matawa at kiligin hindi mastress at malungkot. Kaya wag masyado magparinig. Sobrang bitter mo. Kabuseeettt
ReplyDeleteYung mga pinoy lang mostly gusto kababawan movies tatawa, kikiligin, mai-inlove, kabitan movies
DeleteWrong ka. Pinas movies are mostly pabebe, pakilig, love-love nonsense. And they rehash it over and aver again just to make money. The same noisy, cheap, baduy, shallow nonsense.
Deletetama hahaha... bakit mo pipilitin na manood ng sine mo ang tao eh hindi naman free entrance. kklk! hirap kumita ng pera tapos manonood ka lang ng movie dahil quality kahit hindi ka magenjoy?
DeleteAnd besides hindi naman quality ung kanya (Matti). E di dun ka na sa magenjoy ka 😂
DeleteUn/Fortunately, buying public ang staple viewers ng kapamilya and star cinema rules. Kahit viva nalagpasan na nila sa box office. Whether the movies are of good quality or not, the truth is they are patronized by the masses...
ReplyDeletePinapatamaan niya sarili niya.
ReplyDeleteAng mahal ng sine-sine ngaun...times are changing. And marami na means para makapanood ng movie ndi lang sa cinehan.
ReplyDeleteWala magagawa. Malakas promotions ng star cinema dahil may sarili silang station and dala cla ng masang pilipino
Sa dami kasi ng problem ng pinoy, ayaw na nilang manood ng problema din or yung may mga social relevance. They just want to entertain, yung feel good movies, yung nakaka-relate sila, gusto nilang tumawa & kiligin . And that’s Pinoy! Yung talaga sila. But try din nilang gumawa ng Iba or something different, baka sakaling magustuhan nila but no guarantee na magiging blockbuster.
ReplyDeleteThis! Totoo esp yung mga kababayan nating mahihirap pag nag sine, syempre manonood na para maging masaya ❤
DeleteKung gusto ni Direk ng variety aside from the usual pabebe or slapstick comedy,mag produce sila ng pang mga brusko or maton.Asan ang mga action movies?
DeleteBuy bust and Maria lang yon alam kong nagtrend. Pero every night naman may probinsyano, yon nga lang umay action lagi hehehe.
DeleteKayo may kasalanan n’yan kase masyado kayong pa-deep kaya gumagawa kayo mismo ng sarili n’yong multo. No one needs a completely groundbreaking never been done story. People want what they want. That’s it. It’s not rocket science. You’re overthinking kaya hindi kayo makagawa ng maayos na produkto. You want it all. Critical acclaim and commercial box office? That’s rare. No one can have it all, Sir. In any industry, there are genres that cater to the mass market and those that are niche. That’s why in music, you have pop. In movies, you have mainstream commercial movies. The intellectuals kuno sneer at these genres like they’re more superior than the rest who enjoys these. Truth is, each genre has its own redeeming qualities and they all exist so that everyone can have a fill of what they want according to their tastes so it’s useless to question this much. Stop overthinking. Stop complaining. If you want profit, give the public what they want. If you want to go outside the box, risk losing the money. It’s one or the other. But never dictate to the public what they should and they shouldn’t want to see. That’s just condescending, snobbish, rude and ignorant. Respect everyone’s choices.
ReplyDeletesiguro naisip ni Matti sa tagal na niya sa industriya wala pa siyang napapatunayan. Gusto niyang maging batikan like Brillante Mendoza sa Cannes but he never had the chance kaya palaging parang may pinaglalaban.
DeleteBrillante Mendoza and his work looked timeless and has that international appeal after his Cannes success. Not only that but Brillante was lowkey and he let his projects speak.
DeleteI agree with this, of course arthouse films will never match yung hatak ng mainstream movies. Ever. Even sa hollywood films dumb movies like the fast and furious franchise eh pinipilahan time and time again...parang enteng kabisote lang or shake rattle and roll. Sa sobrang tagal ng dalawang movies na yan sa takilya sobrang lalim na ng connection niyan sa pinoy pop culture. Yung mga audience who grew up watching those movies will most likely take their children to watch the same movies as well. That's just how people are. Hindi yung mga movies na yun ang problema...i feel like it's the fact na wala kang means na i-market or ipromote ang movie mo sa pinas unless you are part of the two networks...or you suck at promoting like matti na lalong nagalienate ng viewers with his rants. Wala kang chance ng TV guesting, etc. unless artista ka sa major networks, and even sa ganung cases kung ang movie ay hindi produced by star cinema or viva eh hindi ka masyado makakapag promote, just a brief mention sa news and thats it. I dunno if it's a matter of taste, people just don't know about what a movie can offer cause walang platform (apart from the internet) kung saan pwedeng mapagusapan ang movie, maexpose yung cast, etc. Dahil din dun kaya tye audience tend to end up making assumptions about the movie (bakit di sikat ang cast, mukhang mabigat ang plot, etc.). Pero pag nabigyan ng hype, posible naman na pilahan din ang "ibang" movie. Who would think na may manunuod kela empoy, john arcilla, etc. as lead until nagkaroon sila ng buzz sa social media?
DeleteCorrect! There were movies out there exploring different genres, it's just hindi talaga tinatangkilik ng masa. Sa dami ng mga film festivals natin ngayon showcasing different types of genre, madaming pagpipilian ang Pinoy masses and yet ayaw nila. So wag sisihin kung mas kumikita pa rin ang mainstream films.
DeleteMahaba comment mo pero may sense. Eto best comment para sakin...
DeleteMaski sino naman matinong director, ma disappoint kung ang mga blockbuster na movies sa Pinas, ay yung mga fan based lang ang dating ng stories. In this digital world, naging mababaw na din ang utak ng mga tao.
Deleteang mga pelikula ay may kanya kanyang target audience. Ngayon kung masyadong deep at hindi na maarok ng nasa middle class ang pelikula mo, time to rethink your formula.
DeleteEven if the premise may sound cliche, there is beauty in a story done really well as to make the cliche 'fresh' again. I think your cynicism and self importance has missed that mr matti.
ReplyDeleteExactly. Si Matti ang may problema dito. His creativity is lacking kaya yung movies nya hindi pumapatok. Don't blame it on the viewers.
DeleteWhile you can change the Philippine cinema style, you cannot change the innate Pinoy culture for kababawan sa sinehan. #realtalk
ReplyDeletePinas is hopeless, ika nga.
DeleteThe walking dead lang ang masa, parang zombie na sunudsunuran pagnakaamoy ng meat or flesh, kahit na bad meat pa masarap na sa kanila.
DeleteSorry to break it to you, Sir but what’s quality for you may be trash for another person. Kaya ho tayo may kanya kanyang genre na tinatangkilik kase iba iba ng taste ang bawat isa. Hindi ko alam saan n’yo nakuha ‘yung thinking na kayo ang may karapatan mag dikta kung ano ang quality at hindi at kung ano ang dapat panoorin ng mga tao. You have no right to impose what the audience should like and you have no right to discredit movies or projects that earned because the audience liked them better than what you considered quality. So entitled.
ReplyDeleteSa movies na lang nga kasiyahan ng iba papakelaman mo pa. Ano gusto mo direk, yung mga lav diaz-paul soriano films na aabutin ng siyam siyam sa sinehan? Masabi lang na deep ang viewers at intelehente? La ka pake kahit babalu or dolphy movie pa panuodin namin. Thats our money. U dont tell us what should we watch!!!
ReplyDeleteTruth!!
Deleteayun na nga, kasi hindi niya nakukuha ang pulso ng audience. Kahit anong ganda niyan kung ayaw ng tao pag aksayahan ng panahon at pera, sorry na lang.
DeleteDirek gets kita pero di ko rin naman bet mga palabas mo. Siguro nagustuhan ko lang un tiktik un kay lovi poe. Pero un buy bust omg.
ReplyDeleteHahaha. Ako OTJ lang. The rest meh. Padeep.
DeletePero may point naman si direk matti ng slight sa rant niya.
The movie industry isn’t dead. It’s just the audience will always prefer lt pabebe movies. Proof is the fact the only 2 box office movies this year so far were headlined by lts or had the same star cinema love story formula.
ReplyDeleteYep! And if they want a more “artsy/indie” movie, most of the time it’s still a love story ala kita kita, or meet me in st gallen.
DeleteAnd? So what if gusto ng tao ang love story? Titanic was a love story. My goodness even Avatar had a love story. But did anyone call these movies pabebe? No. Because they were from Hollywood? Ganun ba ‘yun?
DeleteThe 2 box office movies that you've mentioned were not pabebe movies. Yan ang hirap masydo nyo ine-equate na basta loveteam ang bida automatically pabebe na. Have you read the reviews of those movies especially the latter one?
DeleteNoon kasi may mga gumagawa pa ng action movies etc.I wonder bakit wala na ngayon?
DeleteI just watched sa Netflix "Ang babaeng allergic sa wifi". Am sure it did not make a killing in the box office. Hindi kasi mag LT ang mga artista. I was pleasantly surprised na maganda siya. Feel good love story. Hindi siya pakilig lang and may depth pa. This is the type of love story which is worth watching...
DeleteKasi lahat ng action stars nilagay ng mga tao sa gobyerno ngayon. Masyado yata naniwala sa mga imahe nila noon susko.
Delete8:18 both those movies were pabebe, nothing that hasn’t already been done before. Recycled love story plots with recycled drama plots. Actors are well known pabebe actors esp the latter.
DeleteAng babaeng Allergic sa wifi is a better movie than yon pabebeng movie. Tamang tama yon execution, walang unnecessary scenes or characters na hindi naman na kailangan pa sa movie. Pinagisipan din yon musical score. Spot on yon mga narrative ng characters. Walang heavy scenes or iyakan pero ramdam mo. Overall magaling na filmmaker si jun lana. Hindi nga lang sikat yon mga artista kaya hindi sinuportahan ng masa.
DeleteI’m sick of the pa-woke, pa-intellectual types who just loves to discredit and invalidate the successes of other people. Hindi patay ang industry. People will watch your projects if they enjoy it. Stop being so haughty, try to be authentic to yourself and maybe it will shine through your body of work and gain the public’s support.
ReplyDeleteYeah those pa woke, smart shaming type of people were part of the the main reason why most Filipinos prefer to watch carefree movies.
DeleteTrue. To be honest parang nabubuhay pa nga ngayon ang movies. May lumalabas na magaganda at worth watching. That doesn't include your movies Matti, sorry to say.
DeleteIto ang problema ng mga iba sa atin. Reklamador, they have their own rants specific about their own experiences but they project it on others. Problema na ni Matti yan if thats how he view things or the small success of Philippine Cinema.
ReplyDeleteThis director thought he's better than everyone. Buy bust, Aswang Chronicles, Scorpio Nights 2 are some of his movies... Are all those films revolutionary in Philippine cinema? Definitely NOT! His movies are as lame as his frustrations.
ReplyDeleteCorrect. He lacks creativity and needs to work on his execution. Akala nya kasi sobrang galing nya at viewers ang problema. Sorry direk, but your movies suck.
DeleteMaganda naman OTJ niya... yun lang :)
DeleteYou weren't even able to inject change into the retelling of the most classic pinoy superhero tale so why expect it of others? Hindi nga naka lipad si darna nung ikaw ang direktor o.
ReplyDeleteDirek, kugn hindi na po kayo masaya sa inyong sining bakit hindi pa po kayo magretire at magpahinga na muna.
ReplyDelete2:30 This. Nursing is open. Change careers lol
DeleteBabayad ka ng 220 sa pelikula. Bibili ka pa pagkain. Pabebe lang naman mapapanood mo. Na napamahal lang ang production kasi ginawa sa ibang bansa. Mag netflix nalang ako. 500 wan to sawa. Walang pang ADVERSTISEMENT NG MGA INEENDORSE NG MGA ARTISTA. Nag bayad ka... tapos me endorsement? Bastusan? Low budget na nga me endorsement pa.
ReplyDeleteProblema na ng tao yun at freedom to choose thetype of movies you want to watch.Yung maganda para sa iyo ay hindi interes ng iba.
DeleteEdi panoorin mo yung gusto mong pa deep movies at wag mo kami pakelaman.
Deleteteh kaya ka nga may Netflix di ba.
DeleteNaku wag mo silang pakialaman, kung yon lang kaya ng brain cells baka mafry kung magoverthink sila.
DeleteGandang ganda ba sya sa Buy Bust, Gagamboy at Scorpio Nights 2?
ReplyDeleteGagamboy is a gem. Pati foreigners natuwa sa movie.
Deletehindi nga kasi kumita kahit basura din nman ang mga movie nia hahaha...
DeleteLangya ka 8:10 hahahaha.
DeletePero to be fair with Matti, maganda OTJ niya... yun lang
Babayad ka ng 220 sa pelikula. Bibili ka pa pagkain. Pabebe lang naman mapapanood mo. Na napamahal lang ang production kasi ginawa sa ibang bansa. Mag netflix nalang ako. 500 wan to sawa. Walang pang ADVERSTISEMENT NG MGA INEENDORSE NG MGA ARTISTA. Nag bayad ka... tapos me endorsement? Bastusan? Low budget na nga me endorsement pa.
ReplyDeletepaulit ulit ka?!? sa netflix ka manood. Wag mo pakialaman yung mga iba kung ano ang gagawin nila sa pera nila at anong pelikula ang pag aaksayahan ng panahon.
Deletenagkakaganyan na naman yan kasi tumabo sa takilya yung pinalabas na pelikula nun higanteng network. nainggit na naman. feeling kasi ng Matti na yan na dapat mas panoorin pelikula niya dahil high quality kaysa sa ibang pelikula na iniisip niya na basura. eh pareho pareho lang naman silang walang ma-idish na bago. Akala mo kung sinong magaling.
ReplyDeleteSana kasi madami pang out of the box movies na produce now...like yung lesbian films, coming out, prostitution.... Kasi yun naman yung reality eh... I hope producers and writers would take risks
ReplyDeleteGay men with steamy scenes and straight forbidden love/cougar stories ang mga trending na movies ngayon.
DeleteMost indies movies are tackling those. Ang problema hindi sya tinatangkilik ng masa. Hindi nyo talaga mapipilit ang masa kung ano ang dapat panoorin nila.
DeleteJusko porket ba nangyayari sa reality kelangan ganun narin lagi palabas? Paano yung mga gustong magescape sa reality through entertainment?
Deletemay tipo ng audience na gusto nila yan, meron din naman na gusto yung comedy, love story , pambata at mga pang maton. So kanya kanyang gusto yan. Magkakaalaman na lang kung kikita ba ang pelikula.
Deletebaks gusto ng masa laging relatable, jusme di tayo makakagawa ng ala star wars na movie kasi 1. walang budget and 2. hindi relatable, wala tayong mga jedis or superheroes with super sexy body lol.
DeleteMay netflix, cinema one, pbo, hbo,etc naman.. nakakaaksaya lang sine tbh
ReplyDeleteTrue, the only salvation from the local awful showbiz products are the foreign streaming services.
Deletequality movies ala Marvel Disney require hundreds of millions of dollars budget. Hindi kaya ng Philippine movie industry iyan.
ReplyDeleteyears po at research ang ginugugol bago makagawa ng mga fantasy movies sa Hollywood tulad ng Star Wars.
DeleteDirek Erik, improve on your craft naman kasi. Wala akong nagustuhan sa mga movies mo kahit ano pa genre. Kung gusto nyo po magbago tungo sa kaunlaran ang Philippine movies eh simulan nyo po sa sarili nyo. May mga asian directors na po na nakapenetrate sa Hollywood. James Wan director of Fast and Furious and Aquaman, and now Chloe Zhao director or Eternals. Mag level up po tayo sa skills as writer director.
ReplyDeleteSame. Dragging mga movies nya
DeleteDepende rin kasi sa ekonomiya at takbo ng estado ng buhay ng nakararami yung mga kumikitang pelikula lately. Bakit puro “mababaw”? Kasi ang daming Pinoy na gusto lang makalimot sandali sa nangyayari sa paligid o personal na buhay niya. Sa US, uso superhero movies, kasi kung titignan mo parang it’s wishful thinking na may ganun sila in real life dahil sa samu’t-saring violent acts na nagaganap dun. Nireremake o nirereboot yung mga popular pambata movies at shows kasi it reminds people of their happier childhoods nung wala pa silang iniintindi na adulting problems. Maraming bansa ang ganyan. That doesn’t mean wala ng quality movies na lumalabas. Kahit satin meron pa, you just have to look beyond the mainstream naman.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Erik Matti should stop being condescending to people who watch these movies. Di nya pera yan, hindi nya alam pinagdadaanan at rason ng mga tao na yan. That’s not the way you convince people to listen to you, kasehodang may punto rin naman mga sinasabi niya.
Hay naku, two words for Philippine movies, horrible and awful. The same goes for the tv shows. Cheap, baduy, shallow nonsense.
ReplyDeleteUy! Wag ka ganyan bes. Mahuhurt mga fan clubs ng loveteams!
DeleteYup, very true. I agree.
DeleteTama siya, kaya nga I never watch local movies or tv anymore. Waste of time and money. They are embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteBuy Bust is a disappointment. Maganda ang cinematography pero ang plot was exhausting and walang selling point. It would have been better kung meron man lang twist o kaya deeper plot pero waley. Acting ni Anne was mediocre. Ano pinagsasabi nito ni Matti ?
ReplyDeleteMatti's movies are always dragging. Nakakainip
Delete3 days script-writing?! No wonder basura talaga Filipino movies. Suicide Squad had its script written in 6 weeks but it was still deemed mediocre. Yung Mr Sunshine na kdrama, years pinag-isipan yung storyline kaya naman ang ganda ng result, tight yung story. Meanwhile sa Probinsyano, paulit-ulit nalang dialogue kasi ang dami-dami na nilang characters who do nothing but grimace when the camera is focused on them. Usually in one episode, they say one line and that's it! Puro nalang filler dialogue. Michael de Mesa is probably rolling his eyes at the inane lines he had to say.
ReplyDeleteSo true. I just watch Tarintino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. It’s a comedy-drama but it’s beautifully made. The comedy is so natural, nothing is forced and the 60s look and set are so meticulously presented. They even transformed the Hollywood strip as it was in the 60s and it looks so authentic. And of course they have first rate actors giving the story and the script life.
DeleteWag niyo ikumpara sa Hollywood ang mga Filipino movies.Maglaiba tayo ng kultura.
DeleteTama naman talaga si direk.movies should be a medium for education and culture. example talaga ang magic temple, na hakot awards noon sa mmff at box office hit din. Legit entertaining, pampamilya at may matututunan. Sana ganun pa rin ang mmff ngayon.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see the pista ng pelikulang Pilipino is somewhat like that. Sana PPP na lang sa Pasko at ibasura na ang mmff.
Wala na kasi magagaling writers at directors. Di gaya nung 70-80's. Tsaka those times were golden times Ng Filipino komiks pagalingan mga writers sa mga novels nila, dami pede panggalingan materials for movies. Parang sa OPM din, 70-80's din damibg magagaling lyricists at composers, na ang puro music ngayonnirerevive na lang
ReplyDeleteang dami nyang kuda eh kasama din sya sa problema. he's not exactly offering new and groundbreaking ideas
ReplyDeletepadeep, pa artist ekek na sia lang ang nakakagets. ke papanget ng gawa mo direk
ReplyDeleteActually depende din talaga sa artistang bibida kung gusto sila panoorin ng tao. Hello, yung isang LT hindi din naman kumikita ang pelikula. At yung buy bust ni Matti kumita din naman dahil si Anne ang bida.
ReplyDeleteDirek switch ka na sa LT na pakilig love stories. Huwag mo ng gamitan ng utak pag gawa ng script. Sayang lang, lagyan mo lang ng konting tweak and spend a lot on marketing hype para pati taga bundok, mapanood yung masa movie mo. For sure, maging blockbuster ito maski mababaw lang siya...
ReplyDeleteHay rant all you want. At the end of the day, it is still the people’s money. They can spend it as to where they want it. Ang basura sa iyo, pwedeng may pakinabang sa iba. Don’t belittle any film dahil feeling mo artsy fartsy ka. Tsura nito.
ReplyDeleteAnd insulting your viewers' intelligence will not get them to watch your movies
DeleteDirek, mag invest ka sa magaling na marketing strategy para sa mga movies mo, tulad nung isang network. Purgahin mo ng previews ng movie mo before showing para maski taga bundok panoorin nila ito.
ReplyDeleteHe has a point. I don't think it's negative at all. The problem is the audience is the boss and filiponos like cliches - love teams, kilig, sampalan, api-apihan, you name it. Producers do not care about the quality. They care about their return of investment.
ReplyDeleteMiddle class pinoys ang main audience ng mga pelikulang pinoy. Sila rin yung captured market ng abscbn/star cinema. Kaya sensibilities nila ang hinahabol ng mga movie concepts ngayon.
ReplyDeleteAyaw ng middle class sa mga pelikulang puro kahirapan at social injustices ang pinapakita. Di sila nakakarelate. Bakit? Kasi nagbabago na rin ang pilipinas. Ilang taon na rin tayong more than 5% ang gdp growth rate taon-taon. Bukod sa di masulosyunang traffic eh umuunlad ang pilipinas sa ibang aspeto. Tumataas ang purchasing power ng mga tao, nagkakatrabaho, nakakapagtravel, nakakakain sa mga restaurants, nakakabili ng condo sa high rise buildings, nakakapagdrive ng sariling kotse o nakka-afford mag-grab. Yung mga blighted areas nagigentrify na ng paunti-unti. Ano bang gustong ipakita ni erik matti, yung pelikula nyang nagbabarilan sa walang katapusang slum area, na mistulang zombie ang mga tao. Walang lugar sa pilipinas na ganon kadesperado. Yung miďdle class na bibili ng tiket sa sine hindi na makakarelate sa kanya. Gusto nila ng pelikulang tungkol sa middle class concerns nila.
At sa totoo lang hindi rin naman ganon kataas ang quality ng mga indie films na artsy fartsy ngayon. Nakakasawa na yung poverty porn. Nagpakita lang ng slum area, akala mo intelektwal na. 80's pa yang mga ideyang yan, at wala rin naman napuntahan. Nabubuhay na lang sa utak ng mga makakaliwang college students na wala rin namang alam. Kung sila ang masusunod at tatangkilikin yang art nila, magagaya lang tayo sa venezuela na ngayon ay nagugutom.
Samantala patuloy ang pag-unlad ng pilipinas. From low to upper middle income economy. Kelangan makisabay ang pelikulang pilipino sa zeitgeist ng panahon
if you are the audience, you went to the movie house to escape reality. You want to relax and enjoy your time. You don't want to see poverty,prostitution,the slums, etc etc. and leave the cinema with a heavy heart. You want to be entertained. This Matti should consider that. He is not the authority of Philippine movies. Che!
Deletebakit direk nanalo kana ba ng Oscar award para makapag rant ng ganyan?? sa pagkakaintindi ko mga gawa molang ang maganda pero hindi tinatangkilik ng mga manonood, pero ano ba ang gawa mo ang pwede mong maipagmalaki sa buong mundo??? wala diba??? so ano ang saysay ng reklamo mo?? bakit hindi mo patunayan muna sa sarili mo yung mga hinaing mo para naman maniwala ang mga manonood sa kakayahan mo.
ReplyDeleteFeelingero itong si Matti.He is a self proclaimed expert in Philippine cinema
DeleteI've admired the works of Lars Von Trier, Quentine Tarantino, and Park Chan-wook. And I tell you, their films are not for the faint-hearted or the easily offended. It caters only to a few groups of people but they are respected in their genre. Although not all people support their films and are not considered box-office material, I just don't hear any news of them ranting on social media how most people don't support their works. They just continue to make more films whether you watch it or not.
ReplyDeleteTrue!
Deletecorrect. Concentrate lang sila sa art nila, pero itong si Matti, panay kuda sa socmed pero hindi siya ang basehan or sinasabing eksperto when it comes to Philippine movies. So bakit parang siya ang tigapagsalita ng Movie Industry. Sino ba siya?
Delete5:33 Magagaling na filmmakers, pero never sila ma appreciate mg masang pinoy, kasi lahat ng movies nila hindi "relatable".
DeleteKung yan mga choices mo na directors, it just shows na marunong kang kumilatis ng film kung baga ibang level ang IQ mo at weirdness which is a good thing.
Tbh, pabebe na karamihan sa mga artista na ngayon di tulad dati na kalidad ang mga actors and actress nuon. Pabebe actors/actress = Pabebe movies.
ReplyDeleteAt yung pabebe movies rake a billion in gross ticket sales, while yung mga nagpapakartsy ay FLOP! sa takilya
DeleteBe thankful na may pabebe and slapstick comedy dahil nagbibigay ng maraming trabaho sa mga tiga movie industry.Sila ang pampabawi sa mga lugi ng artsy fartsy films.
Deleteanu bang movie nitong si direk na critically acclaimed? kala mo napakagaling eh ni hindi nga kalevel sula chito roño at segion-reyna di ba? matti was known not for quality films but for bomba films.
ReplyDeleteScorpio nights 2 hehe
DeleteTruth! Feeling magaling e.
DeleteWalang ginawa kundi magreklamo.Parang sinasabi ni direk na bakit ang tao nanood noon ng sarswela o palabas ni Dolphy? Dahil parte ito ng kultura.Nalilibang ang mga Pilipino.Hindi mo pwedeng maliitin o insultuhin ang gustong panoorin ng tao sa mga panahong iyon.
DeleteTanong ko lang dito sa mga commenters:
ReplyDelete1. Ano po ba ang klase ng pelikula na gusto nyo mapanood?
2. Ano ba ang hinahanap ng pinoy audience sa isang pelikula para lumabas kayo ng bahay, bumili ng tiket at panoorin ito?
Minsan kasi ang pinoy audience bibigyan ng matinong pelikula pero hindi papanoorin, pero bigyan mo ng adobo araw araw so to speak, hindi magsasawa, gaya ng romcom kahit paulit ulit na story yun pa rin ang gusto.
Baks, nakakaumay din ang adobo araw araw. Kung madiskarte kang tao, pwde mo gawin yon adobo mo filling sa siopao or tacos, or gawin sandwich. Dapat ganon ang filmmakers dapat marunong sila maginnovate. Ang problema dito yon masa na gusto lang lagi ng plain adobo, may mga filmmakers/producers na gusto safe ang lutong adobo nila, yon alam nila kakainin ng masa. Nagutom tuloy ako, buti naghumba kami lol.
Deleteoh anu pinaglalaban mo? wala namang himuhingi ng matinong pelikula. kaya nga nagrereklamo si direk kasi wala syang demand sa buying pinoy. may pa tanong tanong ka pa eh ikaw na din sumagot sa tanong mo.
DeleteVariety of topics baks, not just love this love that nonsense. Quality movie making. Good acting. Competent directing. Good script, etc.
DeleteKahit na mag ngitngit si direk , yun pa rin ang mga panonoorin ng taong bayan.He should accept the fact na yun ang taste ng tao.
DeleteThat's why I don't watch Filipino movies...super predictable, common, cliche ng mga plots. Family issues, mahirap pumunta ng ibang bansa, mayamang guy and mahirap na girl, third party etc. etc. Paulit ulit..paikot ikot..not worth my money. Please respect. This is my opinion. Wala man lang nakakagawa ng tipong THREE IDIOTS na story or Fabricated City.
ReplyDeleteBecause pinoy movies are but a reflection of your Pinoy culture. Make a different plot, the Pinoys wont be able to relate to. Kaya kumikita ang blockbuster pinoy movies kasa relatable sya sa masa nanonood ng movie pampalipas oras or pamparelax lang. you cant deny Pinoys are innately mababaw ang kasiyahan.
DeleteOmg, so true. The same storyline, and bad acting and directing. Basta may foreign location lang at may love team, okay na sa kanila. Kaloka.
Delete5:29 you cant deny the fact na yun pa din ang formula para pumatok sa box office.
DeleteShowbiz is a business venture.Walang producer na gustong malugi.
ReplyDeleteinfer may direk may sense naman nag opinion nya..sana level up na rin kasi ang movies natin halos lahat predictable ang storylines.
ReplyDeleteSiya nga mismo hindi nag level up ang mga gawa.
DeleteItong director basta may successful na local film lage insecure!! Lolss, halata ang mokong lolss
ReplyDeletehe should retire. Ngitngit siya sa mga box office success ng mga pelikula. Dati kesyo palubog na daw ang Movie Industry pero nasupalpal kasi may mga biglang box office na pelikula. Inggit na inggit ito.
DeleteOn The Job is the only film of his that I've seen.
ReplyDeleteYou gotta admit, it is different from the usual fare.
It was also critically acclaimed locally and internationally.
In showbiz,you are only as good as your last project.OJT was years ago.Has been na,after nun wala ng pelikula na tumatak si Matti.He was not able to reinvent himself.Napag iwanan na.
DeleteAgree that even our art-houses are becoming stale. Sad. Understandable pa ang deterioration ng mainstream films eh. Now even the supposed artful and quality ones have gone basic. Take away the sex, poverty porn, and LGBTQ facets, wala naman talaga laman ang films. So tired.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...that’s okay. I don’t bother with pinas movies anyway. It’s hopeless already.
ReplyDeleteOh,why not encourage Matti to Migrate?It should be a retirement option.
DeleteBago sana kumuda kuda si direk,gumawa muna siya ng mga pelikulang malaki ang naiambag sa lipunan.Yung nakakabuhay sa Philippine cinema,nakapagpapasigla ng movie industry hindi yung mga pelikulang NAKAKAPAGLUGI ng Philippine cinema.
