  1. Sa tingin ko lang, the industry is still in the doldrums or a holding pattern.  The removal from the scene of a major broadcast studio and the chilling effect of the pandemic have much to do with this.  I also think that when the country starts picking itself up, the entertainment industry will follow.  But they won't lead the way, because they are subject to the same forces and conditions as the rest of us.

    The last movie I saw that put a good faith effort on excellence was Goyo.  It wasn't perfect, but it hit all the points it wanted to make.  Its big shortcoming is also one it shares with many works of cinema or literature, in that it tries to speak for everyone, for all time.  It would have been much better imho if it just identified its particular p.o.v. and defended it successfully.  Or maybe that was the point they wanted to make in the first place.  Pasong Tirad was a heroic effort, but ultimately a failed defense.
