listen. I LIKE jericho rosales, ok? I grew up watching that man, I know how good he can be.

but you cannot tell me that tj trinidad wasn't already perfect as manuel l. quezon like????? look at this?????

I bet you anybody who doesn't know who MLQ is would say these two are the exact same man.

This?

Not so much.

even if jericho were to prove me wrong, I'd still let out a little wistful sigh in the back of my mind over what could have been :((((

Dude was basically born to play the role like...

But I understand he has prior commitments, especially since he's the vice president of his company.

Regardless, I have faith in Echo and Jerrold. I just hope marami parin yung manood sa third installment kagaya ng Luna at Goyo

Norte, hangganan ng kasaysayan [Norte, the End of History] (Lav Diaz - 2013)

[vampiresister]

Ang himala sa pelikula ni Bernal ay hindi ang "himala" na kinikilala ng Simbahan matapos nitong suriin ang mga pangyayari, at ang bisa ng pagsuspinde sa mga batas ng kalikasan ay opisyal na tanggapin ng mga may-kapangyarihan. Ang sinasagasa ni Bernal dito ay ang kombensiyonal na paniniwala ng mga deboto sa mga iniaaral ng Simbahan. "Walang himala, ang himala ay nasa puso ng tao, tayo ang gumagawa ng himala!" Sa kapanahunan ng diktadurang Marcos, may politikal na implikasyon ang mga salita ng dalagang sa simula'y nagsabing pinagpakitaan siya ng Birhen. Tulad ng ginawa niya sa Manila by Night, ipinakita niya sa Himala ang kabilang mukha ng realidad na hangad ipatanggap ng mga naghahari sa lipunan. Ang mga tao ang gumuguhit ng kanilang tadhana, hindi ang isang taong umaangkin sa kapangyarihang babago sa lipunan. Ang putok na pumugto sa buhay ng babaeng natutong magsabi ng "totoo" ay simbolikong pagpapasabog sa realidad na gustong ipatanggap ng Bagong Lipunan sa mga mamamayang Pilipino.

Kakabakaba Ka Ba? (1980)

direksyon: Mike De Leon

[cartasymemorias]

I shall talk to you through trees, through the arms of dancers, through sweet words uttered by many lovers.

The arms of dancers round you shall be my arms.

The eyes of men admiring you shall be my eyes.

I have many arms, many eyes.

It is that, loving you, I have become many lovers
