It was the title John gave us when we first got his film for our festival last month, but changed it back to Voices coz I think he wasn't able to finish the final cut. Will have to clarify that with him though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31058461.post-62076943222003285482008-04-07T18:41:00.000+08:002008-04-07T18:41:00.000+08:00Thanks anonymous for the very kind words, and disa...Thanks anonymous for the very kind words, and disagreement makes our world of film watching a much more interesting place, so I welcome it, with civility I hope, hehe.<BR/><BR/>I'm really envious, I want to see the film again and finally stack it against Todo Todo Teros, which I thought is more cebrebral while Voices is more emotional. One question: is Taon noong ako'y anak sa labas the final version of Voices?Oggs Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03041599863258946384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31058461.post-81060732317678202862008-04-05T16:27:00.000+08:002008-04-05T16:27:00.000+08:00I love the way you write reviews (although I don'...I love the way you write reviews (although I don't necessarily agree with all of them). But anyway, loved this review in particular. I really liked Voices more than Todo, Todo. I was in awe when I saw Todo, Todo - but when I saw Voices, I thought, I can never make films like that. It was a brilliant work, and yet I couldn't really explain why I liked it so much. After reading your review, I realized why. Haaay... ganda talaga. Buti na lang I have a copy of the film.

Movies are supposed to entertain which is why I stopped watching Filipino movies. Sa hirap ng buhay, sayang lang ang pera ko.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
