Thinking Out Loud [10202011; 08:06]
If I were to choose between a mainstream Filipino movie and a Bollywood [Indian] movie, I would certainly choose the Bollywood movie. Now, before I get a beating for being un-Filipino and unpatriotic, allow me to say this: I love my country, and I can't imagine living in a place other than the land of my birth. So, why? It's a question of substance. Now, I take an important distinction between the mainstream Filipino movie and the independently produced Filipino films. We all know that "indie films" as we call it are a watershed of brilliant ideas. Am I saying then that mainstream movies are lacking in substance? No! I am saying that mainstream movies are lacking in depth and devoid of meaning.
