To Mr. Allen Dizon:
Nasa akin ang perlas. Sisirin moʼko. Plzzz???
Another ToFarm script, maybe? It never stops feeling weird that the main character is the only one really speaking Tagalog in the whole movie, but sure, let's put that aside. The problem with this movie is that it is a story of a dude who is consistently making bad choices, but the movie stops short of having him pay the consequences for it.
Instead, it passes it all off as a learning experience for him, delivering a lesson that allows him to finally be making the choices he should have been making all along. And maybe the film could have committed more to the guy's madness and play this more as a tragedy? Or maybe it could have avoided that…
para sa perlas.... para sa pangarap....
sasampalin ka ng realidad sa pelikulang 'to. it may sound cliché pero maiisip mo talaga na “kung hanggang dito na lang ba ako, bakit wala akong pag-usad, kailan ba aayon sa amin ang panahon?” mga ganyang scenarios, hindi ba? love or greed? hanggang saan mo kayang ipaglaban ang buhay niyo gayong blinded ka na ng false hopes. salum's cinematography is simply stunning. gigantes island was like a work of art. they incorporated the picturesque element of their fish & scallop industry, ang realidad na iyon ang kanilang pangunahing kabuhayan. the struggle between man and nature can be harsh sometimes pero syempre kailangan mo maghanap-buhay para sa anak mo. the film's visual storytelling succeeds in creating…

Nanunusok ang mga linya. Nangingising ng damdamin. Sumasalim sa totoong buhay.
Higit pa sa mga salita, mas nagdudulot ng ingay ang kanilang mga aksyon at desisyon. Higit pa sa lamang-dagat, ang pinakamahalagang nasungkit ng pelikulang ito ay ang ating mga puso.
Maligo man sa dagat ng kahirapan.
Magbabanlaw sa taglay na kabutihan.
Hindi tayo malulunod. Lalangoy tayo.
Makakaahon tayo.
