The post Mike De Leon – Hindi nahahati ang langit AKA Heaven Is Not Divided AKA An Indivisible Heaven (1985) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

From Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino website:
Daniel Aguila, a Filipino born in 1892, confronts and recoils from the weakness he sees among Filipinos at critical periods in our history. As a boy, he sees his revolucionario father betrayed by the man who eventually becomes his stepfather. As a young officer in Mindanao, he protects his stepfather who has come to grab lands from the Muslims, who retaliate by killing his mother and step-brother. He also has a son by a Muslim lass, whom he is forbidden to marry. As a PC officer, he gets involved in a legal tussle between an anti-American mass religious sect and the pro-American town-elite. He then meets a fast-talking iady iawyer, whom he eventually marries. As a USAFFE officer, he allies with a Huk leader to get much-needed supplies in a Japanese-held town but sees this leader treacherously captured by the Americans. In his middle age, he keeps a mistress and sees his eldest son turn into a corrupt senator, who uses blackmail to silence an activist group that exposes his corruption. In his old age, he leaves his family to work for the Aetas in the mountains.

The film is written and directed by Eddie Romero. Cinematography by Mike de Leon and Rody Lacap, and stars one of the most popular actors in Philippine Cinema, Fernando Poe, Jr.

The post Eddie Romero – Aguila (1980) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Set during the Japanese Occupation of the Philippines between 1942 and 1944. Rosario (Nora Aunor), a young schoolteacher, is engaged to be married to Crispin (Bembol Roco). Crispin leaves Rosario to fight the Japanese as a guerilla, and in his absence a Japanese-Filipino officer named Masugi (Christopher de Leon) rapes her. Masugi later returns to Rosario apologizing for his act, bearing gifts of canned food and rice which Rosario at first refuses. Matters are complicated when Rosario’s father Mang Andoy (Mario Escudero) is arrested by the Japanese and Rosario reveals to Masugi that she is pregnant. Rosario must make a choice: accept Masugi’s proposal to make her his wife (saving her father and ensuring a safe and stable life for her child), or reject him and with him the baby they have conceived together.

The post Mario O’Hara – Tatlong taong walang Diyos AKA Three Godless Years (1976) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
In a time when the concept of divorce does not exist, much less imagined possible, we find Marilou (Vilma Santos), a planetarium guide who decides to pursue an affair with Emil (Christopher De Leon), a college teacher separated from his wife. They seem perfect for each other and soon decide to move in together.

Their once happy affair turns sour as Marilou slowly discovers the real Emil – a chauvinistic, domineering, and emotionally abusive man who dictates everything to her: from how she should act and manage her life to the most inconsequential details of running their house. They soon find themselves in an on-again, off-again relationship, with Marilou going as far as laying a let’s-meet-only-three-times-a- week rule to protect herself.

The arrangement is fine until Emil gets sick and needs Marilou by his side more than ever. Will her love for Emil see past all of his shortcomings, or will she move on with her life and continue to protect herself? Only the strength of their relationship can answer this.

PLOT: Kakabakaba Ka Ba? (lit. Does Your Heart Beat Faster?) is a 1980 musical-romantic comedy film produced by LVN Pictures (in its last offering) in 1980, with Mike De Leon as director.

The film revolves on two couples who found themselves in conflict with the foreign commercial giants that control the Philippine economy, the Japanese and the Chinese. Moreover, it involved the Catholic Church which has a stranglehold on the Philippine society itself. The film reflects on the Philippine economy and society being primarily controlled by other forces for their own benefits and become instruments in performing illegal activities. Actors Christopher de Leon, Sandy Andolong, Jay Ilagan and Charo Santos starred as main cast in the film, while Johnny Delgado and APO Hiking Society’s Boboy Garovillo portrayed as main villains.

Foursome lovers Johnny (Christopher De Leon) and his flame, the flight steward Melanie (Charo Santos), and Johnny’s friend Nonong (Jay Ilagan) and his sweetheart Nancy (Sandy Andolong), unwittingly get involved with warring Japanese and Chinese drug syndicates . Embroiled in the fracas, the two pairs of lovers uncover a plot by the syndicate that baffles them all.
