i do not disagree that this movie have great flaw . i mean the dialog could be more fluid and the editing could be more crisp and so on so forth . but while the movie be choppy a a whole and some of the scene be breathtakingly raw . like the part where marcos be drive ana from the airport and you can see and even almost smell and the city absurd contrast between it economic class . when marcos be just star into oblivion and you know youre look at a real person and whose sweat be his own sweat and the grease on his face be his own grease . there be something mysterious and incomprehensible about the face of every single person living and struggle in the city . it be not just a face of frustration and anguish and or despair and that a typical actor might give off . it a face that be unique to that person and one that you will never get to know probably and but when you take a glance of in the subway or the bus or the sidewalk and you know somehow you relate to them and somehow you know there a story behind them . this movie be just a mere glance of one person . it not quite a study of marcos and because we never get to be let in that deeply into his past and his motif and his whatever . it simply present his situation and action a they be and not push any particular perspective the way most film do and not give u any insight and reveal monologue or any of that . let u simply be the judge of him if we be judgmental and the observer if we be observant and the aloof bystander if we be one and and most likely be a little bit of every one of those type when watch this film . and that very commendable for a film to let the viewer ultimately be the camera and the editor of the film . instead of tell u how to view thing .
