Banal Movie Preview - Metro Manila Film Festival 2007 entry

[alexonline09]

it really shows the other side of being a SWAT POLICE. I just have watched it last weekend. i didn't know it was a true story... very nice film.

[hersmart]

The film is well done. There's no dull moment. Two thumbs up!

[jennilynaviso]

galing nman..

[cesarapolinario]

after winning the starawards for movies as best actor, paolo contis again won for banal the luna (film academy of the philippines) best actor 2008, congrats!!!

[punknpale]

Wala namang pulis na mukhang ganyan dito pilipinas...

[angdalubhasa2]

napanood ko ang movie sa DVD- maganda!  Iba ang dating!

[leenard2103]

ambot nd p

[monmilo]

gALING NG MOVIE

[teruya2000]

maganda..pwede

[xXhrdcrmetalXx]

Hindi naman kaylangan ng special fx tulad ng CG para maka gawa ng magandang pelikula, kahit low budget makagawa ka parin ng Intelectual movie....Yung story at script ang pina ka importante, When it come to this kind of movies it must be in touch with reality....

[succubus101]

i agree..

[gesileheart]

galing naman wow

[succubus101]

@jayvalo18..make your own movie!!

[jayvalo18]

btw, not that i'm bragging i did make one for my thesis already. and once i make one for a feature film, bet you wont see it because it wont be commercialized and will only be screened to appropriate venues and to people who are not intellectually challenged.

end of conversation. full stop.

[succubus101]

i bet it wont be commercialized because there'll be no appropriate venues who'll want to screen it and because the intellectual people will abhor it...enough bragging, post your movie on youtube. then we can be the judge. or maybe you're just afraid that it'll get a lot of sleazy comments like the one you posted...

[blackassasin09]

ganda galing ni cesar,thumbs up!goodluck more project to come.kapuso ako

[jah022288]

jayvalo18 Pilipino ka ba? ask ko lang dahil dapat maging proud ka na ist directorial job ito ni Mr Cesar Apolinario GMA A 1 reporter at BEST DIRECTOR AGAD at take note METRO MANILA FILM FESTIVAL ITO AT SOBRANG MAGAGALING ANG COMMITEE MEMBER NITO kaya huwag mo naman apihin si Direk Cesar Apolinario MAY NAKITA ANG COMMITEE NG MMFF KAYA siya ang napililing Best Director.. Wag ka naman mamintas be proud to be a pilipino..

[jayvalo18]

100 percent Proud Filipino po! I did not mean n mamintas, it wasn't my intention, ive been honest and subjective with my observations. I love Filipino films, not that im bragging but but I've practically seen every single Filipino film from the classics to the alternative/indie films. And for that I must say that I'm a true lover and BELIEVER of the Industry. I know po what I'm saying so please don't judge me. Hindi po NAGHANAP NG KAMALIAN OR IKAPIPINTAS.

[jayvalo18]

it deserves it's best story though(seriously)... meaning the script was not outstanding, not well thought of, with many inconsistencies and if you'll b logical with its twists, you'l probably get what i mean.

Lastly, who was that nun?her acting is outstanding!outstandingly horrible!hahaha

[TwinSkies]

The story could use some tweaks, but yeah, it certainly surprised me with the twist.

The dialogue was a mixed bag - it pretty much depended on the actor/actress. Tough tamales of the one saying their lines was some wannabe drama queen.

As for the special effects...Meh. The low budget shows itself here.

[jayvalo18]

...such flaws which gave me very negative impressions. the film was not taken seriously during editing or during it's shooting.  and winning best director?!how i wish they just gave it to manny pacquio whoever his director in his film was, if you know what i mean...CESAR DOES IT BETTER IN DOCUS or must i say he needs more training if he intends to make another feature film.

PLS I KNOW UR A GOOD JOURNALIST, U BETTER MAKE

A DOCU FILM NEXT TIME INSTEAD.

[jayvalo18]

...the kid on the tree during the training sequence???was that part of it or there's no other takes from that scene?

and the guys from training when they ran with their towels,u can see that they're wearing cycling shorts underneath!!!very realistic!lol

[jayvalo18]

ive seen the film and it's full of technical quibbles...why put a computer generated helicopter in the scene?!hello!the characters' hair or clothes did not even move one bit from the supposed air from the heli(they cud have used a blower).  The car explosion!?what the hell was that?!!! The forest gump sequence of the picture!?omg!!!

to be continued...

[keanupedz]

congrats kay cesar apolinario galing mo talaga! idol kita!

[revue08]

Bagamat sablay ang visual effects dahil sa liit ng budget, ito pa rin ang d best sa lahat ng entry ng MMFF. Effective na thriller at malaman ang storya.

[julieken66]

clap!clap!clap! kuha mo pati emotions ha! yan ang advantage ng journalist kapag naging direktor, lahat ng damdamin kapa... mabuhay ka cesar...

[cuteexxx12]

congrats for winning the best director cesar.

[jah022288]

kakaibang pelikula!

napakainteresting parang pang international movie! for sure a lot of people would relate on it!! Great!

[rosstejero]

Si Paolo ba bida rito? Naks, nagbinida na rin sya, noon eh patawa lang sya sa oki doki doc!

[direken]

let's support MMFF 2007.. :D

[juancarlosojano]

The explosion is obviously fake but I don't consider it a big mistake mainly because this is an indipendent film. Nevertheless, the story is interesting and the torture scenes were stunning.

[flipzi]

The computer grafix manipulation for the car was not done right. This is what made the explosion a bit unsatisfactory. It made the fake explosion so obvious. If they can do some fixes on the grafix manipulation then it will surely improve the quality. Nonetheless, im gonna watch this one. I wanna know the story. I miss movies like this.

[rapjhazz]

explosion is obviously computerized

[Colencence]

ang panget nung explosion... ndi ba talaga kayang gumawa ng mapormang pag sabog???

[cesarapolinario]

rated high B by the cinema evaluation board

january 1 na po ang showing ng banal..pls pls watch, isang makabuluhang pelikula mula sa comguild film productions.

[racerec19]

best picture of all time, bumalik na ang de kalidad na pelikula at pwedeng ipagmalaki ng sino man pilipino, BANAL para po sa ating lahat ... pelikulang titingalain at pupurihin ng sino mang nagmamahal sa mundo ng pelikulang pilipino...
