INDIE FILM: Pagdadalaga nI Maximo Oliveros woot!

I don't think a good movie is necessarily about gays.. Even if this movie is about wars, real persons or anything not gay, basta nindot lang, i'd still watch it...THis movie is worth watching, not because its a gay movie...

from inq7

"ANG Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros" was recently granted an "A" rating from the Cinema Evaluation Board, joining two other independent digital movies "Ilusyon" and "Big Time" (way to go Kyen!) as among the best films produced in this country this year.

I'm told that ufo Pictures, the outfit of independent filmmakers behind "Ang Pagdadalaga," spent so much on converting from digital to film format that they will need to make a bundle at the box-office to recoup their investment. The tax rebates care of the "A" rating help, but what they really need is moviegoers' patronage.

Do watch "Ang Pagdadalaga," not only to remember your own coming-of-age, but also to herald the coming-of-age of young, independent, free-thinking filmmakers who are the hope of Philippine cinema. It opens in theaters Nov. 30.

I fail to see the logic in your post.

and for the record, THIS IS NOT A GAY FILM!!! it's a coming of age film...like Nobody Knows(Daremo Shranai), Grave of the Fireflies, Not one Less(By Zhang Yimou) and Children of Heaven (Iranian film)

Don't HATE, Investigate...

NEWFLASH!
MAxi gains another award at the SINGAPORE Asian First Film Festival 2005 for BEST PICTURE and BEST ACTOR (NAthan Lopez)

It's been critically acclaimed internationally!! but will it be acclaimed locally? will our insecurities and crab mentality prevent its deserved accolade?

and so?? better suggest another title so that... maybe i change my mind to watch the movie..
if the movie doesnt deal with a gay, so whats the movie all about?? ANG TITLE SA MOVIE BA IDIOM RA NA? bisan title ra basahon, its a movie that relates to a gay of the life of a gay.

Well, opinion ra nako na.. sorry gud!!

I believe its a very nice story kay na release gud ni sa big screen. But unfortnately im a mentally pathetic person and im not intrsted sa mga storya sa bayot.

I bet it would be a hit sa gawas sa nasud kanang daghang bayot.

From STARSTUDIO magazine november 2005 issue,

The film, set in the slums of sampaloc, is a heartwarming story of a young gay's friendship with a rookie cop and his close-knit family of petty criminals. Sounds like one of those politically incorrect gender pieces, but it is anything but a gay movie. The film is a touching reaffirmation of basic Filipino values like family and friendship, and makes subtle comments on prevailing issues like poverty, criminality, among others, without coming across as preachy.

according to Raymund Lee(the producer) "We wanted to make a story about a batang bading- not about the kabadingan."
