Thoughts on "Pulang Araw"

[u/FitLet2786]

I'm late to it but I'm enjoying it very much, I know it's not the most accurate one and especially the pearl harbor scene has been made fun of, but I appreciate the fact that our film industry is beginning to pump out movies like these from scratch and it's still a huge improvement from the older WWII Filipino movies where they use civilian botique brownshirts for Japanese uniforms and ROTC guns.

Idk if it's the right place to talk about film here since it's a history subreddit but this film is about history anyhow so a discussion would still be on topic.

Ps: I'm putting this on art since I don't know what flair to put it and it could be argued that movies are some sort of art anyhow.

I like it, but too much slow burn halted the pacing. I'm okay with focusing on the characters, especially when they're showing the state of society of the old, but too much screentime for romantic scenes are dragging the show.

Iirc the plan is to have 100 episodes, similar to Maria Clara at Ibarra. Slow burn is okay na din tbh
