People here keep on commenting and commenting about how the whole movie is unfaithful to the book, that it didn’t reach their expectations, blah blah. Free country, free speech. I get that. But I hope that some of us can be more appreciative that at last, Filipino producers, like Ortigas, dared to create this and just made it available in KZbin. They are the same people behind Heneral Luna. Gratefulness is so now a rare virtue nowadays.

[@MortimerZabi]

It's a good film in its own right. Never said it wasn't. Why so affected? :P

[@danjags9973]

"The movie is unfaithful to the book, it didn't reach my expectations. But thank you Ortigas for making this and making it available in KZbin." -Are you saying instead of writing a unique personal observation, everyone should just follow this template? AND Following your logic, we should be grateful for all the media made available in KZbin no matter how bad.(Not saying this movie is bad, just making a point). "Free country, free speech" but do as I say. "Do this not that", but free speech? You contradict yourself. Or perhaps pre-emptively defending yourself. Either way, you are obnoxiously self-righteous.

[@MortimerZabi]

@@danjags9973 I think they changed enough from the book that it could have been an original work. It's good, but could have been more.

[@s.t.santos5928]

So this was an adaptation of a book, not an original screenplay?! That explains my 2 comments above. That being the case, the writer and director should have made some effort to tie up loose ends in the story, instead of shaving it down our throat and praying that nobody notices. My gosh, if that is the attitude of Filipino filmmakers, we'll never get a nomination at the Oscars - ever! This reminded me of a Judy Ann Santos film that she tried very hard to get into the Oscars. I watched it and it blew my mind - in a negative way. The opening scenes alone wherein a man was speaking in Chinese sounded like a nursery student speaking Chinese for the first time. LoL! It was a pathetic film and a bigger waste of talent and production costs. Pls don't get me wrong; I grew up on Lino Brocka and Ishmael Bernal films.

[@remraddominicalcordo5917]

Most of you were confused about the conversation Joanna and Gus had towards the end, but for me it’s the most exciting part. You wanna know why? Because it foreshadows the plot on how the next book would look like. And how do I know? Because wayback 2017, the entire team behind the movie, together with F. H. Batacan (author of the novel), visited Cebu City for a special screening and press conference, and they revealed that the movie adaptation will be tweaking the ending to give the audience a hint on the sequel that the author is working. And this, my friends, solidifies the idea that Father Gus is somehow the filipino counterpart of Robert Langdon. Ugh, can’t wait for the next book! And to those who keeps on comparing the movie from the original source material, you have every right to say so. But of course, please do understand that books and motion pictures are two different channels for storytelling. No hate, just love. ❤️

[@bluetoothpeople6050]

No hate, just love. But Robert Langdon is kinda amateurish. Probably, we could also consider Umberto Eco's William of Baskerville from the book Name of the Rose.

[@remraddominicalcordo5917]

@bluetooth philosopher: I like how this conversation is going. I’ll definitely add that book title to my to-read list. 👌

[@MortimerZabi]

Sorry, but her original last lines: "the ratings will shoot through the roof," were better because they showed that at the end of the day, mass media was as amoral as the police. No disrespect meant to the author but her revisionism is as bad as George Lucas making Han shoot second. It derails the character.

I’ve read several excerpts of the personal backgrounds of real serial killers from FBI America. I can say that the main antagonist in this film was a sociopathic sadist, which means he was born normal, but the brutal nature of his environment had transformed him into a monster. Very different from psychopaths who are born that way. Many psychopathic killers grew up from well-off families, while most sociopaths grew up in poor, violent and abusive households. Great movie. Thank you so much TBA, for publicizing this film.

Filipino acting is so obvious and not so genuine. You can barely find a very good actor. Stories are shallow as well - not well thought of.

Too superficial. Actors cant really wear the character they play in.

The movie showed friendship of a believer and a non believer without clashing. It shows a passage of trauma, uncovered kinds of corruption and cases of sexual abuse. Truly, misconduct is different from a mischief. I hope everyone takes a lesson from this.

[@tutansession1160]

there were major truths behind it like how many cases are still unsolved because of neglecting to gather data by our police forces, reluctance to pursue serial killers--which is more dangerous, and the erroneous image that people connected to Catholicism because it became common on 90s that priests were always involved if some orphans/children are missing. It's so good to read local novels translated into english and it made me wonder why it was not popular on the time were it was published. Lastly, I like the two protagonists, although they are simultaneously serving God and the people, they won't let prejudice compromise their passion to finish the misdeeds performed by immorality.

There were differences of course, but nonetheless, the film is a masterpiece in itself. Thank you TBA! To all those who watched this BUT HAS NOT YET read the book, please, read it.

I first watched this movie after reading the the book. At first i was kind of disappointed in a way coz i had so much expectations for it. But i know for certain how hard it is to really make a movie adaptation of a novel. People might say that the movie didn't give much justice to the book but of course we can't expect it to be exactly the same coz the book had so much details in it (which makes it so much better). And those details cannot always be portrayed exactly the way it is especially in a 2 hour movie. I've rewatched it, now that I've almost forgotten the details that were in the book. While watching it the second time around, it suddenly felt like a different movie apart from my initial expectation that ruined my first impression of it. I'd say for a movie, it's really great. It's so refreshing to see these great acting skills from great actors. They were all so natural and i loved it. 🙌

Yay!!! I've been waiting for this film for so long! Thank you, TBA! 🙌🏼 And yes, the book effin awesome! 😍📙👌🏼

[@lanieampo]

This is one of the best filipino movies I've ever seen. I wish I read the book first before watching. I feel like I'm reading books of Tess Gerritsen and Scott turow with this movie. Thumbs up!!

[@sheilamaybule8570]

Watching this movie was such a rollercoaster ride. Ilang beses kong muntik sabunutan sarili ko dahil sa frustrations. But ghad. Kudos to TBA and all the actors for this film!!!! Thank you so much for this ❤️ Cheers to the upcoming splendid films na gagawin niyo sa hinharap!

[@thelivingrisi7233]

Haven't read the book, which i'm kinda thankful for. Was able to see the movie for what it is (no bias, no expectations), a great one. Recommending this to my friends. ❤️

[@louellaramos4433]

I love and look forward to watching movies like this one because despite the limited budget, it is so deep in meaning and the message it is trying to send it"s viewers. I wish there will more and more movies such as this one. This is what I call a real movie.Thanks for sharing.

[@sevr0101]

We need to do more films like this in consistency. No more vanilla films.

[@dummyacc3768]

Thank you TBA! You make quarantine easier to deal with

[@chuerrynyan2423]

Both the book and the movie are masterpieces in their own right. Periodt.

[@1700tt]

Love this movie. I'm glad I was able to find this.

[@buencaminoph]

Pretty good movie. I rarely watch Filipino movies and I looked for this because of Sid. I'm pretty surprised how dark and haunting it is. I am a fan of dark,. psychological thriller and crime dramas especially British and Nordic noir. This is pretty good by Philippine standard.

[@markanthonyfernandez1400]

Amazing! This is the movie that needs to be uplifted and be watched. Very realistic and unbiased. Keep it up!

[@kemberlybadajos4481]

Thank you so much for making this movie for free. Our instructor instructed us to read the novel but it was too long to be read. So I choose to just watch it here.😊

[@wassabby7365]

Grabe!! Thank you so much for posting the whole film here!! Movies like these gives hope to the future of the Filipino Cinema!! 💕

[@donnapenton6119]

Watch this as soon as I finished the book. Thank you TBA for making this film available in YT. The casts are good and the film is great. But people should really read the book also to understand more of the characters. :)

[@renzoforteza1341]

Bakit 181k lang ang views?? JUSQ. Anyway, well-made TBA studios!! I do not have big qualms about the faithfulness of the movie to the book. Thank you for creating and making this film available to the public!!!!

[@noone-vz2nc]

SOLID! we need more substantial films like this one. hats off!

[@jammiebears]

Nung nalaman kong nandito si Nonie Buencamino, naexcite akong mapanood. Pero other than him, bigatin pala talaga yung ibang cast!! salamat TBA! Pakiupload din po sana yung tayo sa huling buwan ng taon hehehehe ☺️

[@ashleycelestial1417]

Seriously...this movie is so good it's like watching a foreign movie. the story is unique, you will really watch it from the beginning to the end and the actors will get better. this is one of the best Filipino movies I've seen, even Hollywood films...great job to all especially to Mr. Nonie Buencamino, Sid Lucero & Bembol Roco...Congratulations everyone...

[@aldenrobelldeloyola1502]

I just finished the book today! So excited to watch this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✊✊✊✊

Sobrang ganda ng istorya! Napakahusay ng pagkakagawa, pwedeng ilaban sa international film festival! Salute sa lahat ng bumubuo ng produksyon!

[@azaleaargosino6049]

Ang ganda! Not your ordinary movie na mahuhulaan mo yung susunod na mangyayari. Sobrang daming twists. And highly recommended. This is a masterpiece

[@RichPlayz.]

Ang galing ng pagkakagawa ng cadaver props, pati yung mga dead boys' bodies, pang-CSI ng U.S. Super realistic, baka nga actual dead bodies yon na hiniram sa real-life crime investigation, but i looked intently sa credits, wala. So it means props nga yung dead bodies. Kudos sa mga gumawa non.

[@karlotorio353]

Maraming Salamat TBA!!

[@marienyljoanvergara8529]

Thank you TBA Studios for uploading this awesome movie!!!!

[@JonsiTales]

Thanks to the people behind this film. Kudos for the way the story was delivered. We need more wholesome Filipino films like this. 🙌

[@edf8833]

I love both the movie and the novel. Such a masterpiece. Kudos to Ms. F.H. Batacan and everyone who made the movie version!

[@TayArcHaler]

Of course that's not how Alex died in the novel. His death is very complicated to be depicted in a movie. Everyone who has seen this must read the book to understand what really happened.

[@aaronjohnmana-ay646]

Sir sorry to ask... Na justify po ba ng movie yung book? :)

[@TayArcHaler]

@@aaronjohnmana-ay646 as to how the plot is unfolded, yes. Meron lang talagang element sa characterisation sa book na hindi kayang ilagay sa film e. Mas nakaka-satisfy na kilalanin yung mga characters sa book, lalo na si Alex. :)

[@TayArcHaler]

@@aaronjohnmana-ay646 yung ending ang super iniba from the book kaya medyo disappointing yung part na yun.

[@jonathansumampong5372]

Aaron John Mana-ay The answer is no, the book is way better. Nag mukang stupid ung brilliant priest sa movie parang di nila totally na resolve ung case unlike sa book.

[@jonathansumampong5372]

Mark Joseph Ung 'last kill' na pang 8th na kid ni hindi na kill na maayos. Sorry to sound like a murderer here pero kasi may ritual sya to kill boys and a total of eight parang ung total ng classmate nyang na molested nung teacher. And ung ending sobrang disappointing ang ganda pa naman ng settings sa movie.

[@renzelginpugeda2882]

Finally!!! Matagal ko tong hinanap sa iba’t ibang platforms dahil nga nung napanuod ko to sa cine napaka ganda!!!

[@latertaters]

YES. FINALLY. Thank you TBA

[@harveysmeets6638]

Me after the movie: 😳(processing everything) uhmmm hmmm. I’m still mesmerised, ill be back. 🤔

[@fevilynaglipay3663]

ify, I've been repeating some scenes and until now I'm still processing the details

[@herlynnegrace1461]
