Fabulous Redondo drawings!
I've seen ...Simon:<br /><br />Fabulous Redondo drawings!<br /><br />I've seen both movies but I prefer GILDA better than PASAN KO ANG DAIGDIG.<br /><br />GILDA is well-acted, less melodramatic, and the appeal of black and white fits the subject of the film, delivering a production design that's truly stunning. <br /><br />Similar effect was achieved by another PSG written story called DONATA, directed by Tony Cayado – the black and white appeal is a joy to watch. The cinematography is carefully shot and every sequence looks like a Dover black and white art that's hard to be forgotten. In fact, I still haven't seen any Tagalog film whose opening scene is as powerful as DONATA – a murder on a rainy night – a scene I still see vividly after many years have passed since I've seen the movie. <br /><br />In a way, it's like watching a moving illustrated book, matching the Redondo art (for GILDA) and the NESTOR LEONIDEZ art (for DONATA). I can't remember who illustrated PASAN KO... but it would be interesting to see how it fared. <br /><br />Indeed, PASAN KO... is no doubt, a rehashed version of Gilda, and the original is definitely more powerful.TheCoolCanadianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01196452866916000202noreply@blogger.com
