The proper term is disliked, or perhaps ambivalent. Urduja, as I see it, is a forgettable movie. Mere months have passed since its showing, and it has totally disappeared from the public radar.<BR/><BR/>I don't know the director personally. If ever I do, I'll never use how I know the director as basis as to how I'll rate his work. That's unethical.Oggs Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03041599863258946384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31058461.post-63393936461752701332008-09-12T12:13:00.000+08:002008-09-12T12:13:00.000+08:00wow! you hated urduja so much...any personal grudg...wow! you hated urduja so much...<BR/><BR/>any personal grudge with the director?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31058461.post-72983591724491770562008-08-07T08:19:00.000+08:002008-08-07T08:19:00.000+08:00Hi Garuda,Thanks for the comment.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I think it was shown on RPN 9 back then? <BR/><BR/>I also remember a scene in that feature where they used Freddie Aguilar's song: "Anak". I was really young back then so I can't recall most of it. I do remember that the characters are wearing native tribal garb. Anyway, it was wrong that no one seems to remember Nonoy's works, most especially the stuff he and others did in "Annie Batungbakal".<BR/><BR/>And about Urduja? I think it's is a film that I will remember in the next five years, but like Adventures in Animasia, its not a film I'm going to like watching again, or talk about in good way...or being part of my animation video collection.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31058461.post-25161744115961545642008-06-27T14:21:00.000+08:002008-06-27T14:21:00.000+08:00Thank you Noel,I read your review in your book on ...Thank you Noel,<BR/><BR/>I read your review in your book on Tadhana, and I'd love to see it.

The first feature length animated Filipino film is Nonoy Marcelo's Tadhana, broadcast on Channel 4 in 1978. An ostensible Marcos project, it has the freewheeling spirit of the best satirists, and there are several moments when Marcelo gleefully nips at the hand that sponsors him.Noel Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904212081036547668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31058461.post-47120956654241376542008-06-25T18:21:00.000+08:002008-06-25T18:21:00.000+08:00i havent seen the movie but the urduja character l...i havent seen the movie but the urduja character looks like a pocahontas clone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
