Very timely and real story. Direction, screenplay, cinematography and ensemble cast are average! Everything in the story are true, I was amazed with the camera movements and how the stunts directed. Roller coaster emotions and you will feel that you are in the scenes while watching this movie. I recommend to everyone to watch this.
Its Brilliant on all counts, the story telling resonates what mainstream media will not report. The Actors are great in their craft, The Director/ Writer was prolific,inspired by real events, seriously, it's worth anyone's salt. It's worth the effort and the money on the viewers side. Brilliant just Brilliant. A problematic film. Director Perry Escano presented to audiences with no easy identifiable central narrative.Different stories interweave at a meandering pace throughout the movie,but none is given more weight than the brutal and violent death of Aquil, followed by the Childhood and education that the child warriors were forced to leave.I have not seen a movie that made me feel a rush of different emotions while watching, It made me shed a tear or two. It's a Must See movie!
One of the worst films I've seen in Cinemalaya. Too bad that I watched the Gala Night. In the middle of the film, me and friends really wanted to leave the theatre but just to give respect to the film maker, we finished the movie.
This film is beautifully made! It was done in good taste and artistic execution by the director. One of the best screenplays I watched and the message is very clear. The ensemble cast are really awesome and portrayed their characters very well. I recommend this film to everyone and your money is worth to watch. I will watch this again and bring my kids, I hope this film will be graded as PG 13. Younger generations should watch this film to learn the importance of education.
The script and direction are not as good but accepted. This made me realize how important education is to every person. I love the actors as well, they are all good in this film. The cinematography was done beautifully in a moderate execution.
