Hi, fellow Pinoy. Sad to say, I sort of well, don't. Depends on which movies we're talking. Brocka, Bernal, Abaya and the 50s, 60s and 70s were fine. There are some golden nuggets lately but in general, still immature. I hang out in the football forum by the way. If you're into football (soccer).

majority of filipino movies have the same plotlines. i rarely see a movie that sticks out. lately, i've seen some good ones though... "tanging ina," "jologs," "the debut," american adobo."
and the old movies are great, just as rohan524 said. yung iba kasi pare-pareho na lang. may isang mahirap, iibig sa mayaman, ayaw ng magulang, kikidnapin si mayaman tapos ililigtas ni mahirap, kaya kahit ayaw man ng magulang, gusto n rin kay mahirap.
it's so generic.

Actually, that's what I wonder about. Parang ambagal nagmama-ture Filipino film making style natin. Hinahatawan na tayo ng mga kapitbahay natin --- Vietnam (Scent of Green Papaya ata - naka Oscar nominatin), Hongkong action flicks, Thailand (check out cinemanila lastyear, yung about the Thai kickboxer docu-drama). After Oro, Plata, Mata at Orapronobis parang wala nang critically acclaimed AND iconic na films from us. Or baka kasi clouded na judgment natin kaya kahit may maganda works (ok raw yung 10-hour docu ni Lav Diaz, Munting Tinig, Magnifico) eh di natin pinapatronize.

the thing is marami sa mga movie goers natin are simple minded. gusto lang nila yung matawa ng konti, maiyak ng konti, kiligin ng konti. so even if the movie has no real context, mabenta pa rin. the revolution of our movies is really slow. imposible naman na maubusan ng ideas ang mga pinoy. and we really need to start casting yung mga talented na ctors natin, not the snot nosed new comers that we see sa mga commercials.
the writing and directing too is an issue. napaka-generic ng mga movie plots natin. we need to start thinking outside of the box.

You know what I hate about the more modern Filipino movies? That the picture on some movies look so outdated. I'd like every movie and even the shows to have good picture like Gagamboy. For example after seeing the amazing picture of Gagamboy I thought every movie would have great picture now. Then I saw Fantastic Man and I was like WTF?! Seeing a couple modern movies and shows with bad picture just pisses me off.

mahal naman kasi kapag top of the line cgi ang ginagamit for the movies. the budget does allow top notch special fx. if you compare the fx of filipino movies to any other, the graphics are bad talaga. like the flying scenes from any superhero movies... so cheesy. but if you look at superman the movie, which was made in the 70's, mas maganda pa rin yung fx kaysa sa mga pinoy movies ngayon. we need to exploit the magic of wire fu more and invest for quality cgi effects. kung puro impose lang sa moving screen, tae talaga ang kalalabasan.

I agree with that. I think the problem here is the filipino producer too. They worry on spending too much, that they think, bka di mabawi. It's like dont want to take the risk! Or, really just not enough budget??
the only movies worth watching anymore are the dramas and romanctic comedies. every once in a while there will be a movie that really moves me. pero kung sa action and horror and fantasy, di bale na lang.

i'm one of the most patriotic pinoys you can find on God's green earth. kaya lang yung ibang mga movies, unbearable talaga. i enjoy watching pinoy movies, just not the sh!tty ones.

Film should be about the art and and the story. You just don't watch it just because it was made by one of your own. There are many Pinoy films acclaimed internationally by credible critic groups but sadly don't make it in the tills cos they are "profound" or "depressing" films. It's the immaturity of the Pinoy audience and producers that's preventing us from really making quality movies. Fair to say though that local television is doing relatively better.

my sentiments exactly. marami din namang pinoi movies that get international attention. i think that the industry is being held back by producers wanting to make a quick buck. plus the simplicity of the audiences also holds back the quality. simple things for simple minds. kung ano lang yung kayang intindihiin, yun ang pinapanood kaya yun din ang kadalasang pino-produce.

Sensya I sort of feel strongly about this topic kasi frustrated film major ako eh hehehe...Sabi lang ng nanay ko, anong gagawin mo pag pinag-aral kita ng Film? Haller... Sadly, the last Pinoy movie I saw in the theater was Rizal from years back.
