Why do Filipino movies suck?

[yiennahs]

---

Talk about beating a dead horse, we all know they suck big time... so what else is new (except Juana Mangga stating the obvious)?

And it was so obvious that Florida.Blanca, the Juana Mangga clone account, had to copy the thought from another person's 3-year-old blog. tsk tsk tsk ... bright jud ni siya dah. Just craving for all the attention.




Yep. Juana will fit right in the mix.

Here's a thought, Juana ... instead of sigeg binayot and criticizing bisan nalang unsa made in the Philippines, why not join the movie industry and show us all how you will 'improve' Filipino movies. Kaya ni nimo? Aw I think kaya kay taas man kaha ka ug 'intellect'?

Maka-criticize man gud ka (although, dili imong original idea, di pa gyud matawag na constructive criticism) mura man gud naa mi feeling na naa jud kay ikabuga na labaw pa kang Lino Brocka or Carlo J. Caparas. So, ipakita ang imong ikabuga.... Duda nako kayo ra man mabuga siguro nimo.

Para lang gyud unta di ma-consider ni na thread as a waste of bandwidth kay duna na man daghan threads all over the internet that agree that movies made here are not so good, why write suggestions in here para ways for the movie industry to improve?

Masalbar pa diay ni na thread.

dili na siya pwede kay gamay raman gud ang mga bright sa movie industry. Dapat siyay tag-iya sa station. Low level ra kaau ang acting para niya. Such a noob idea. Why not apply in her station instead and who knows you might become famous.


since movie here sucks, it's time for a change.
let's phase out everything and build an enormous empire!

OK kaayo na, tokidoki.

Ipadayon ang imong hilig kay nagka-nihit na lang gyud ang mga artists nga wala malimut sa kulturang pinoy. Ang mga nahibilin, i-demotivate man lang sa mga ordinary people nga walay mahimo, sige lang panaway. Unya dili pud makahatag og mga fresh ideas or suggestions ba kaha para ma-improve ang kasamtangang situation sa atong local entertainment industry.

OO lagi bro but I need collaborators. Preferably, either an artist or a good writer to mentor me.

Why Filipino movies suck?

1. Movie making is a business. The profitability of a production will always be considered first by movie producers and movie makers. If the masses won't buy it, it won't be produced.
2. Fantasy is better than reality. An illusion is much more easier to swallow than the bitter reality pill.
3. Filipino producers do not make movies relevant to the condition of the people of our country. Country/community relevant story lines and plots are often shrugged as something not for mainstream viewers as the story line will undeniably be sad and will sometimes veer to grim. This alone can be expounded to ten sub-reasons. Some of it will be jotted down along the list but not all will be listed.
4. The majority of movie goers prefer to watch something that they can understand. I have been to a movie with profound lessons yet there are only few people who caught and appreciated the overall message that the movie is trying to convey.
   
   I do not wish nor want to conclusive say that majority of our so called educated and graduate population are shallow and less knowledgeable but in my 30 years of existence, it is what I am seeing and not much has improved. I am however fortunate that I am in a circle of people where they do grasp and understand the message a book, a movie, an article is conveying.
5. There are a handful of intelligent people in all our circles, unfortunately, I believe they would rather watch foreign (not necessarily English) movies as it presents a much better chance of a better story - something with a good message, or something that is ten folds more entertaining than what our country's mainstream producers produce.

I have a lot more to say but I am tired. I'll see if I can revisit this thread again later and add some more thoughts.

Please do not forget to consider that from a foreigner's perspective, all of these listed here may also be true in their country.

Bitaw, asa naman tong mga R-RATED Filipino movies nga uso kaayo sauna?

Mas maayo paman to kay naay mga sense ang storylines. Nya medyo ma horny pud ta.

wala nai rated R since there is a regulation (or a law) prohibiting its production. Dugay naman bro. Since before 2005 I think.

OK. Hmmm....

How do you intend to do that, if for example, this will be your assignment and you are given enough funds to complete the job?

Show us how. Educate us, Tiger.

try to find an opportunity for growth. There maybe people here who can help you. You can also try to search on different aspiring people just like you. And it's also nice if you start to engage as early as you can. You maybe starting small but who knows, people might be able to discover your talent.

nagpapansin na sad si sand man nako! yup i know nga gwapa ko!

[yanong_banikanhon]

dili! magpasalamat pa ganeh siya kay tungud naku nakit-an niya iyang soulmate!

OT:
Yiennahs, di ba dugay ta ra kang giingnan nga alisdi nang imong resident astrologer kay mora'g dili na accurate ang iyang mga predictions.

Dugay ra man tawon nakong nakit-an akong soulmate, inday. Naa na gani mi mga anak.

Mosamot na gyud akong pagduda nga naa gyud kay gitagong pagbati ni dodong juan (florida) da! Dili baya ka maka-compose og script kun dili ka inspired.

Unya sa tanang mga eksena nga naa si florida, naa pud ka mag-sunod2x ug mangabogado sa iya. Mura ka'g iyang ikog. Basin inlab ka yiennahs ha. Ayaw gyud na'g itago. Pahibal-a ang angay'ng pahibal-on.

On topic:
Unsa man lagi imong ma-suggest TS aron makahimo og mga original movie concept ang mga pinoy? Uyon ba ka nga ang first step is likayan nato ang pagpangopya ug ang pag-angkon sa mga butang nga dili atoa?

[tokidoki]

dugay na ni yiennahs. Since I was in high school. I just left it to keep growing in my head. Eventually nag evolve na siya but I don't want it to be that way forever. Basin pa diay mailogan ko.

Dili lang ni ingon sa panghambog ha but I once had an idea that explored the concepts of artificial intelligence. Before I know it, 3yrs later Steven Spielberg made the movie "A.I.". Although the story is hardly similar to my idea but the concept. Sus. Naunhan ko! If naunhan to nako I could have sued the bastard. :P

schlapsticks are almost always true in pinoy movies...

for example.. in ACTION MOVIE: there are so many dialogues before the hero kills the villain, such goofy talks are.. "MAGTAGO KA NA SA KUNG SAAN KA MAN LUPALOP..", the VILLAIN retorts back" HINDI MO AKO KAYANG TUMBAHIN____ , MARAMI KA PANG BIGAS NA KAKAININ..." The Hero cut back.. "KUNG MARAMI PA AKONG BIGAS NA KAKAININ.. SINASAING NA KITA NGAYON! MAGKITA NA KAYO NI SATANAS!"


Wei??
