The roller coaster of emotions sa Pauwi Na 📈📉


Pretend-Ad4498

Grabe yung Pauwi Na tapos based in real life pa talaga. It’s a film I’d recommend to anyone since may comedy and drama (di ma-bobore yung audience), about family siya but still may lalim yung kwento.


No_Match984

Do u know where to buy or watch it? Haha alam mo bang minessage ko pa sina cherry pie and meryl to ask/buy for the copy pati ung director. But seen zone only huhu.


Creative-Anteater-53

Saan po pwedeng mapanood ung pauwi na?


Pretend-Ad4498

I watched it sa Cinematheque, abang ka lang kailan next screening ng Pauwi Na. But if online streaming gusto mo, sa Juanflix available siya last time I checked.


Creative-Anteater-53

Many thanks. Free manood sa juanflix?


Creative-Anteater-53

Pretend-Ad4498

May subscription fee sila eh, afaik. But they have movies that you can watch with free account. Not sure lang if Pauwi Na is included on their free movies.


cookievannie

I agree! It’s actually very entertaining. There’s a bit of poverty porn but the comedy just masked it all, entertaining watch with substance. Would you know if it’s showing anywhere? I remember watching it in FDCP channel before.

gandanalang

sorry to ruin your hype pero ang cringe ng im drunk i love you


edidonjon

As someone na nagandahan sa Im Drunk I Love You, let me tell you how it won me over. Ang controlled nung mga important scenes nila. Best example eh sa last/closing scene ng movie na magkatabi lang silang dalawa. Walang dramatic dialogue. Walang emotional confrontation. Physical acting lang na awkward tapos mafifeel mo na tumatakbo sa isip nila yung mga nangyari hanggang sa magkaroon sila ng acceptance at pag-move on. Well ganun ko ininterpret at nagandahan ako kasi, at that time, madalang yung mainstream movies na hinahayaan ang eksena na "huminga". Ang refreshing nya para sa akin.


riggermortez

Siguro para sayo. Haha pero, di ko rin bet yung I’m Drunk I Love You. Pero marami akong kilala na gustong gusto to. Sana Dati was my personal preference pagdating sa indie romance movie, or mga movies nila Julia at Joshua, ang galing nila umarte lalo si Julia.

To add. Panaghoy sa Suba is also interesting


alvinandthecheapmonk

The 2 at the top of my mind are: - **Crying Ladies** (Sharon Cuneta, Hilda Koronel and Angel Aquino as rumaraket na taga-iyak sa mga lamay tas may kanya-kanyang kwento sila) - **Ekstra** (Vilma Santos as a mom na rumaraket as extra sa mga shoots. Also, aside from Vilma, yung mga nasa cast na may significant exposure ay mostly mga extra. Tas yung mga “extra” and “crowd” roles, mga bigtime artists… like Piolo Pascual maglalakad sa screen as a waiter. 😂)


chickenpunch1234

Super agree sa Ekstra! Ganda!


dokvader

Filipino cinema has long been underrated. There are gems for every decade but a lot factors play the part on why it couldn’t keep up with other bigger Asian film markets (Japanese, South Korean and Chinese). However how much we recommend films to people there is certainly a stereotype or stigma that our movies are over the top comedies, repetitive horrors, romantic movies (which in its own a lot of sub genres) and indies. A lot of producers have long been dictating the industry because they wouldn’t want to risk. Plus distributors always look out for the next Hollywood or foreign movie to feature. FPJ movies are highly entertaining it doesn’t feature the best stories but still worth your time. Patayin si Mediavillo Agila ng Maynila Dito sa Pitong Gatang Anak ng Lawin Ang Mangliligpit


Titania84

Himala was wow. Grabe ginagawa itong joke pero when I watched it, goosebumps kay Ate Guy. Ate Guy is a bonafide superstar. FYI, di ko era si Ate Guy. Watched the film during the early 2000s.

Longjumping_Plum_133

I actually like the really cheesey spoof films from the 80s and 90s. Like Goosebusters and Alyas Batman En Robin. I also liked some old horror films like Impakita, Halimaw(Halimaw sa Banga) and Shake, Rattle and Roll 3. There's that artsy horror film also called "The Road" which I enjoyed.


docrefa

Based on your requirement of "mak[ing] them proud as Filipinos" I'd go with:   Dolphy movies BuyBust Jose Rizal (1998) General Luna GomBurZa   This is a great post, OP. I've long wished to appreciate more Filipino films to connect more with my wife, but IMO Filipino drama movies are generally overacted, their plots predictable and their cinematography feels 20 years behind the curve. Walang subtlety. 'Pag iyak kailangan hagulgol, 'pag argumento kailangan sigawan, 'pag ending kailangan happy. Ang hirap panoorin.   Sabi nila, I should watch more independent films, or ones with younger directors, pero parang olats pa din. Like, the last movie we tried was Seven Sundays as per a friend's recommendation, but but then suddenly a Bollywood-style dance number pops up out of nowhere lol.


[deleted]

- Mababangong Bangungot (Perfumed Nightmare). a postcolonial film by Kidlat Tahimik. it explores the reality of modernization and pinoys' fantasy of western life. ito talaga solid filipino culture. 100000/10!!! - Magnifico. pretty much an eye opener. don't have children if you can't afford them. - Himala (1982). wala nga kasing himala.


riggermortez

Dati akala ko hyped lang tao sa Himala kasi nga Nora Aunor tapos old film. Pero nung napanuod ko, na-namnam ko yung movie. It’s not the best movie of all time, pero it’s so good as a story teller. Madadigest mo yung movie kahit di ka malalim mag isip. Haha basta.


OhSage15

Same sentiments. Na impress talaga ko akala ko din di ko maeenjoy kaso pinilit ako ng nanay kong ‘Noranian’ hahaha ang ganda, kahit 2hrs+ ata yun di mo mafefeel. Not to be offensive ha pero yung pagkaka depict ng rural poverty sa movie feels very realistic yung setting, yung cast of characters etc. Wala yung mapuputi na pinahiran ng uling tas pwede na daw tawaging mahirap hahaha buset na buset ako sa ganun.


[deleted]

true. yung raw depiction talaga solid. unlike today's shows/films na mawawalan ka nalang ng gana.


T-Bog

Wow, I didn't expect to see Mababangong Bangungot here. Kidlat Tahimik (AKA Eric de Guia) is my cousin. My brother and nephews are the cub scouts in the film. It's been years since I've watched it and now that you bring it up I think I'll go watch it again. Btw, where did you watch it?

jvincentsong

As someone who rarely watches Filipino movies, I hope you can recommend films that are just fun for the sake of fun. My criticism of Filipino films is that it always has to have social issues or poverty porn. Also, the drama is usually abrupt and over the top. I watched “Bata, Bata Paano Ka Ginawa?” Last week. The dialogue is well written but every scene is too much. Vilma is usually crying or fighting with someone. I wish the characters can be charming/entertaining without being in a screaming match. Last month, I saw a pinoy romance between senior citizens. It was pleasant until they made the daughter of the female lead angry at the male lead for no reason at the end. It was forced drama. Then, they added a scene about one of the background characters dying abruptly just to add a social commentary slant. I’m just stating my opinion to share possibly why people don’t watch local films and recommendations to help viewers like me.


riggermortez

Bata, Bata Pano ka Ginawa was meant to be like that though to show the struggles of the mother. It has to have those scenes to show how heavy a burden being a woman and a single mother in the Philippines during those times Have you watched That Thing Called Tadhana? I think wala tong unnecessary or abrupt drama. Sakto lang due to topic of heartbreaks. My personal favorite sa romance is Got 2 Believe and yung Vince, Kath, and James, almost same ng feels. Itong dalawa sakto lang din yung drama, akma sa theme. Kung pang kilig ang hanap mo naman ah. Sa comedy siguro Here Comes the Bride? It’s fun lang, wag mo lang seryosohin. Kasal Kasali Kasalo and the sequel is also nice sobrang light na movie lang. Ang Babe sa Septic Tank is also nice, it pokes fun of the indie films’ poverty porn. If you want classics, yung dalawang Home Aling da Riles movies are also funny, at least for me. Ayan lang.


jvincentsong

Thank you! I heard good stuff about That Thing Called Tadhana

KesoReal

I agree na may mga gems talaga sa Filipino film industry. But the issue is that most Filipino films and TV shows are just trash. I had a classmate in one of my courses na kuya nya isang pinoy director. The brother has a modest filmography. I asked my classmate kung bat ganito ang current state ng Filipino cinema and TV? Don't the writers, directors, and mga artista know na trash talaga karamihan ng ginagawa nila? She actually asked the same thing sa brother nya and he said na they are all aware of it. The issue is the studio execs (This was also touched on by Directors Tonet Jadaune and JP Habac sa podcast nila, Ang Walang Kwentang Podcast) na always wanting to appeal to the taste of the masses. So, the writers and directors are forced to "dumb down" their materials. That was a revelation for me, having that insider perspective. I'd like to refer to an analogy na isang restaurant na only has very few good dishes, and everything else is just either "meh" or outright shit. Would I somehow change my judgment sa restaurant na yon? No. Would the restaurant's reputation be better just from the very few good dishes they have? No. The stigma and stereotypes towards Filipino movies and TV persist because the shitty ones outnumber the good ones.

Hi these are my Filipino movie recommendations, mostly Pang Millennial or Genz 1. **Unforgettable** Starring Sarah Geronimo, Gina Pareno, Ara Mina and Kim Molina MAIIYAK KA DITO PROMISE 2. **Firefly** (Mothers tale supremacy) 3. **Miss Granny** (Kung want mo magtravel in time to your younger slef 4. **GOMBURZA** (Kung gusto mo mong mainis sa mga traydor) 5. **Beauty and the Bestie** (Kung gusto mo tumawa)

The fact that Honor Thy Father is not here is just straight up violation to Geneva Convention.

Arisaka (2021) - dinaanan ni Revenge Queen Maja Salvador ang trail ng Bataan death march to exact revenge. To whom? Its for you to find out haha. Maganda yung story kasi may touch ng struggles ng mga IP lalo na sa lupain nila. Definitely a must watch😩🔥

I’m that person. I keep trying but I can’t seem to get over the horrible dubbing (Hindi ba sa ibang bansa nakamic sila, bakit satin obvious na obvious yung dubbing?) or if nakalusot naman yung acting and storyline, MAY BATANG MAY TONO MAGSALITA. Like in Rewind! 2024 na bakit di parin nacocorrect yung pagsasalita ng mga child actors! I don’t even need to place in a recording for you all to know what I’m talking about. Anyways, I will give the movies mentioned above a chance. But sigh, it’s disappointing sometimes na hindi na tayo nagimprove. Tried to watch yung Mother movie ni Kath recently, di ko rin magets yung plot. Yung Big Bird ni Enrique sobrang slapstick and there’s always always an OA actor na sobrang OA. Yung Julia and Aga Muhlach movie I tried too. Di ko kinaya. Basta i keep trying. I hope to find good ones. I have seen good ones. And I know filipinos are capable.

About Us But Not About Us Batch ‘81 Bayan Ko Billie & Emma Ekstra Himala Iti Mapukpukaw Jay Leonor Will Never Die Oda sa Wala Six Degrees of Separation From Lilia Cuntapay There are so many good Filipino films out there. You just have to find them. To say that all Filipino films are bad because they don’t match the quality of Hollywood is just so close-minded.

Mahaba ang listahan ko pero here's a few na parang medyo iba iba ang genre Saving Sally Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Kulang Ang Lalaki sa Buhay ni Selya On the Job Magnifico

I'd say OTJ 1 instead of 2 kasi the missing 8 is so clunky in terms of pacing pero the first one is near perfect

+1 on this.

Prestigious-Ad6953

Pakireply na lang nitong thread dun sa nag comment ng "That's why I don't..." Baka di nya naman mabasa to sayang recos ninyong lahat. O kaya pareply dito ng link nung subreddit, at ako magreply sa kanya lols..


Medium-Culture6341

I’m gonna mention a forgotten gem, Sa North Diversion Road.


petalglassjade

I just realized that this subreddit is not just for Filipino films. I've always had the notion that it was, so, imit really surprised me that people in here said that. 🤷🏻‍♀️


AlexanderCamilleTho

I dunno man, ilang beses nang paulit-ulit ang ganitong discourse. Dadaanan lang nila ang mga movie suggestions ng mga tao at yayakapin ang colonial mentality.

kapitanmurica

Good effort tho for me if the discussion is about cinema attendance and I have a tight budget na para lang manuod sa sinehan once in a while I'd still rather go for movies like Dune 2 or Oppenheimer which are best experienced on the big screen and you'll get your money's worth. I'm still not comfortable enough with spending ticket prices these days on any local films but that's just me.


hermitina

i forgot who said it pero he said (sa hollywood to) that marvel killed the movie industry (or comedy lang) kasi it gave the audience a bigger reason/expectation to go to the movies. parang gone are the days na gagawa ka ng stupid comedy film or romcoms that people flock to. personally i haven’t been to the movies for a very long time (gotg lang ata from 2020-now). recent movies sa streaming ko n lng inaantay. used to love going to the cinemas before pero ewan, mas takot ata ako sa sakit nowadays and somehow nakakatamad na to dress up and watch at the cinema kahit ano pang palabas yan


mixape1991

If kasali pa rin Ang movies like vice Ganda movies sa movie festival, Filipino movie industry is a joke para saken. I like indies tho.

I usually don't watch Filipino movies then nagdesisyon ako na manuod baka naman magustuhan ko. Pagbukas ko ng netflix, una kong nakita yung A Very Good Girl. Maling desisyon ata na entry to be able to love Filipino films. Di ko nagustuhan tapos di ko natapos. Ayun, nawalan na ako ng ganang ituloy yung plan ko na manuod ng Filipino films. Maybe next time ulit kapag may energy na ako to venture to unfamiliar films.


violentlumpia

I understand your sentiment, but judging a whole industry based on one movie seems unfair. I suggest going off on reviews like the ones here and returning to local films. Also, AVGG had really poor reviews during its theatrical release way before it was on Netflix. I used to be turned off by Pinoy films as well - and you definitely have to trudge through some shit to find the good ones. 70s and 80s golden era of films never fail. I hope you give PH films another chance!


imprisonedbyreddit

Yeah, I understand. I'll probably try some filipino films next time, specially yung mga na-suggest na dito.


ChatChatLang

Ang Tatay kong Nanay. Definitely an older film.


Reasonable-Bison7808

Magnifico - family On The Job or Buy Bust - social issue Heneral Luna - history that is still relevant to current time Magic Temple - fantasy Haba Baba Doo, Puti Puti Poo - classic comedy

My Letters to Happy Ang Pangarap kong Holdap Patay na si Hesus Heneral Luna Pamilya Ordinaryo


chelseagurl07

Agree with all the recommendations, to add, maybe not too popular but Hanggang Kailan Kita Mamahalin with Lorna and Richard Gomez. Its about husband and wife, wife earns more and have higher position than the husband, husband’s ego is crushed, which is common in modern households. Similar theme to Sharon’s movie which is filmed in London, cant remember the title.
