I smell oscars for this movie..

[xxpsychopunkxx]

oscars? LMAO. some people are calling it the worst movie ever shown in cannes. hello, it's for a selected audience.

[tyronerayreyes]

actually, there's a possibility that this movie will get an oscar nomination at least. Esp. in foreign language film or achievement in direction.

Kinatay was tagged as "unwatched" by some critics because of its elements (e.g. violence/explicit scenes) however, oscars' jurors prefer to choose risk-taking kind-of-films like this.

Who knows..every moment is unpredictable.

No "honors" from the phil gov't tulad ng binibigay nila kay pacman? He deserves some, I believe.

COngratulations!

I did saw this movie great film OPM. Unfortunately, most filipinos don't appreciate intellectual films made by our very own. Sanay kasi ang karamihan sa atin ang mga melodramatic at commercial na pelikula...nila ay ay di las ahas.....hihihi!!! Tapos ang palaging sangkap love team,mga magkakapatid na nagaahasan...walang katapusan pag-iibigan....para madagdag pa ang mga lahing pinoy at ma-over populate ang mundo. Kaka-miss tuloy ang mga pelikula ng dekada setenta.

Issay, I concur. It's also great to have the first Filipino win at Cannes as best director beating the likes of Tarantino, Ang Lee, Almodovar, and Von Trier. As far as commercial vs art films, I'm glad there's room for both The domestic market will enjoy Ai-Ai comedies even a film like "Tanging Yaman" which is competent, but it will not travel well abroad. It's also good that the likes of "Maximo Oliveros" and (the divisive) "Serbis" get some attention abroad.

[ISSAY68]

It is a breath of fresh air, to have movies made by directors who can challenge our senses. Hindi naman gaano ka importante kung maipapalabas ito internationally, bonus na nga yun kung tatangkilikin ng mga importanteng tao sa larangan ng film making di ba?

[CardCrusher29]

Issay, good point on the love teams. It just gets old and boring. I remember watching "One More Chance" and thinking the film would be better if it ended with ambiguity regarding the characters played by the love team duo of John LLoyd and Bea. But no, love teams have to end up together in the end!

this movie was GREAT! just watched it a few hours ago. and i did see lots of bad reviews. people walked out apparently when it was shown, but when interviewed he said that he made it so explicit so that we become accomplices to the crime, come on, how can the brutality of the crime be expressed if its not explicit like this? the fact that people walked out to me more of shows that Brilliante presented the movie amazingly. and his is based on a true story, so for us filipinos, it hits a nerve.

Kudos! Daghang salamat! Inspire us Filipinos with your genius!
