Pedro Calungsod

convey REVIEW(Pagsusuri ng Pelikula)While Calungsods importance in our countrys history is indisputable, his significance as a compelling subject for a feature length film is an t by ensemble different matter. If the films narrative is anything to go on, Calungsods liveness history is nothing more than a series of drudging sermons that ultimately hire to an untimely death on the beach. The film itself does its best to remain near to the historical events surrounding Calungsods missionary work, focusing on his life in the Marianas in an effort to baptize the local Chamorro natives. But the devastation result feels more like a dispassionate history lesson than a compelling cinematic experience.PEDRO CALUNGSODThe Filipino SaintTHE MOVIEBUOD(Summary)Pedro Calungsod is a teenage Saint.

Its a nauseating phenomenon in the Philippine movie industry whenabsolutely done the wrong way. But thank god there are films such as Tatlong Taong Walang Diyos to serve as timeless testaments to the magic that melodrama can create and manifest within ones senses and emotions, from innocent to complex, when done perfectly.The film started with Hitlers rhyming, mouth-foaming speech regarding the strength of his socialist party. Being pose in the times of the Second World War, the film unveils like how a history text book would for a student. But after this run-of-the-mill introduction, its story unfolds like how a poet affects to even the farthest of souls.In plain sight, the film may look like your typical love caught by the tides of war and a period vehicle for its star and producer, Nora Aunor. Granted, the love story arc is already established prior to the complications of the narrative, but I am deeply affect and pleasured how complex the film really was.TATLONG TAONG WALANG DIYOS
