kudos to lupita aquino – kashiwahara. and specially to Ms. Nora Aunor
When will the two make a new movie with similar subject due to the influx of nurses there.
dis is not actually a comment…dis is a favor…can u pls. giv me d exact story & characters…i nid it badly
Sana makagawa pa tayo ng mga peliculang katulad nito. Nang kapanahunan ko na ginagawa namin itong pelicula ay napakataas ng quality ng mga trabaho ng mga Pilipino sa industria ng pelicula. Kung bakit ninakaw ng technologia ng computer ang galing ng mga Pilipino. Ninakaw din ang kinabukasan dahil sa mga pirated DVDs. Saludo ako sa mga taong bumuo ng industria ng pelicula lalo na ang mga beteranong nag umpisa nito in 1937. Mabuhay kayong lahat.

Drop by lang po…at nagbabasa-basa lang…una kong napanood itong Minsa’y Isang Gamu-gamo sa VCD. At nung Nov. 25, 2005 ay napanood ko ulit sa Shangrila…mas naganda sya panoorin sa widescreen…ganun din ang Himala, mas maganda mapanood sa sinehan talaga kesa sa TV or cable. Sana mapanood ko rin yung Tatlong Taong Walang Diyos sa UP Film Center o kahit saang film screenings kasi sobrang maganda rin ang pelikulang ito.
Salamat din sa pagdaan mo sa blog ko. Kanina napanood ko sa rewind ng cinema one ch.56 sa cable tv ang Tatlong Taong Walang Diyos, another nora aunor starrer with Christopher de Leon and Bemblol Roco.
Kasama rin ito sa top 10 films na na-sarbey ko among our radical scholars and activist peers. I have seen this film thrice or four times na yata. Ganda-ganda ako sa pelikula. Classic ang mga dialogues….Christopher de leon, playing a Japanese soldier telling Filipino guerilla Bembol Roco, sige labanan nyo kami. Hindi nyo ba alam mga kano naman ang pinagsisilbihan nyo at hindi ang mga sarili nyo?
Ang esensya ng pelikula tells about the evil of imperialist war (US vs. Japan) at paano nila gnagawang miserable ang buhay ng mga bansa at taong sinasakop nila.
Salamat sa pagdaan, Gerry. Mabuti ka pa, maraming beses mo na itong napanood. Di ako nakapunta sa Shang noong Biyernes dahil may pasok kami. 🙁
Salamat sa post about Minsa’y Isang Gamu-Gamo.
Yeah, I did a survey on activists’ 10 best films and this Nora Aunor starrer figured as one of the 10 best films among our peers in the national democratic mass movement. This was published in Bulatlat.Com
Napanood ko na ito several times. Una noong 1976, sa MMFF. Grade schooler pa lang ako, ewan ko at bakit ako nakapasok sa sinehan. Then pinanood ko uli ito sa ilang okasyon ng Pelikula at Lipunan gathering noong dekada 90. Bukod dito, pinanood ko rin ito sa TV several times.
Hindi nakakasawa ang pelikula. Siguro bukod sa historical at laging napapanahon (dahil sa panahon ng imperyalismo), isa sa mga modest, pero totally engaging films ng ating panahon.
Sana ipalabas ito sa UP Film Center. This obra is great. Nora is superb.
Maria Jose: Buti ka pa. Di ko pa ito napanood.
Vince: Alam ko, libre ito. Dapat nga siguro, maaga ka.
sana may tikets pa. first come, first served ba?
I watched that movie as a kid. And I love it. I am not a Nora AUnor fan, but I really like the movie. It was very eye-opening and the movie itself was nicely done.
