Grabe naman ang mga nagkoukomento ng walang kwenta. Hindi issue dito kung kapamilya o kapuso kayo. Huwag ninyo lapastanganin ang diwa ng kasaysayan! Grabe Pilipino ba talaga kayo? Napakaganda pa naman ng pelikulang Baler, sana tingnan niyo na lang ang angulo kung saan napapaloob kung para kanino ang pelikulang ito. Sana mag isip-isip muna kayo bago kayo bumanat. Bakit ang ibang pelikula naman na sumali maganda nga at nakakatawa ngunit ang naituro pala sa inyo ay kabastusan.

THE MOVIE WAS SUPPOSEDLY BASED ON A TRUE STORY. A LOVE STORY THAT OCCURED IN THE SPANISH OCCUPATION. DURING THOSE TIMES THERE IS A DISTINCT DISTASTE AMONG THE SPANISH COLONIALS TOWARDS THE COMMON FILIPINO – IF YOU REMEMBER RIZAL’S NOVELS. THE SPANISH FRIARS TREAT THE FILIPINOS AS INDIOS OR NATIVES – ILLITERATE AND ONLY FIT TO WORK ON THE FIELDS. THE FILIPINA WOMANFOLS WERE TREATED LIKE SLAVES BY THEIR SPANISH MASTERS. AND IT IS BELEIVED THAT THE SPANISH FRIARS FATHERED A LOT OF FILIPINO MESTIZOS IN THOSE TIMES.
THE LOVE STORY SEEMED TO BE POSSIBLE BUT VERY DISCREET. I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THESE TWO INDIVIDUALS WERE HIGHLY CHARGED AND PASSIONATELY IN LOVE – BUT THE STORY DID NOT SHOWED MUCH. I BET THEIR LOVE AFFAIR WERE AT MOST CLANDESTINE AND EVERY MEEETING WAS FULL OF ROMANCE AND PASSION. THE MOVIE DID NOT SHOW THIS TURBULENT PASSION THAT WAS WAITING TO EXPLODE. THE SCENES SEEMS TO BE VERY TAME AND LACKLUSTER.
THE MOVIE SEEMED TO BE YOUR TYPICAL LOW BUDGET FILM – AS THE FIGHT SCENES AND BATTLES WERE ANEMIC AND QUICKLY DRAWN UP. IT REALLY LACKS THE FEROCITY OF THE KATIPUNEROS DURING THOSE TIMES CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT AND DEGREE OF SUFFERINGS THEY ORDINARY FILIPINO FOLKS ENDURED UNDER THE SPANISH RULE AND THE CRUEL GUARDIA CIVIL. AND NOT TO MENTION THE FERVOR OF THE REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT. IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THE IMAGE OF THE KATIPUNERO WAS NOT FULLY RESEARCHED AND WELL THOUGHT OF, AS CAN BE SEEN BY THEIR SEEMINGLY IDENTICAL SOMBREROS AND PRISTINE UNIFORMS. DURING THOSE TIMES THE KATIPUNERO’S RIFLE HAS ITS BAYONETS FIXED IN FRONT OF THE RIFLE. SURELY, THE KATIPUNEROS BATTLE REGALLA WAS JUST TOO BORINGLY AND FUNNY LOOKING THE SAME. NEXT TIME PLEASE BE MORE AUTHENTIC.
THE ACTORS WERE MORE OF THE CLEAN AND PORCELAIN SKINNED CHARACTERS VERSUS THE RAGGED PEOPLE DURING THOSE TIMES – REMEMBER IN THOSE PERIOD, LIFE WAS HARD FOR THE ORDINARY FOLK WHO WORKED IN THE FIELDS.
OVERALL, THE MOVIE WAS RIDDEN ON ONE MAJOR PLOT – QUITE PREDICTABLE AND AS USUAL BORING.
I THINK THE SCREENWRITER SHOULD RE-DO THE STORYLINE TO MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING
THE CASTING DIRECTOR SHOULD GO FOR DOWN TO EARTH CAST – ACTORS WHO COULD REALLY BE FIT FOR THE ROLE – THE LEADINGMAN WAS DEEMED TO BE A SPANIARD BUT HE LOOKS VERY VERY FILIPINO, NOT EVEN A MESTIZO. THE LEADING LADY SHOULD BE FILIPINA….BORN AND LOOKING THE TYPICAL FILIPINA DURING THAT TIME.
THE GRADE THIS MOVIE A BELOW AVERAGE FILM BECAUSE IT REALLY LACKS THE PASSIONATE ROMANCE OF A LOVE STORY AND THE BRUTAL ENCOUNTERS BETWEEN THE KATIPUNEROS AND THE SPANISH ARMY.
BIG FAT C MINUS
