It took 1 year to pass, before I finally watched the Asiong Salonga Story Movie(2011). Before finally watching this movie, I have heard some positive and negative reviews of this movie, now I have my own verdict for this movie. When I have not seen the movie yet, I thought the movie was boring and Action(turned Comedy) Film, but now I'm eating my words because I must say this was one of the best Filipino film I have ever watched. What I liked most from the movie was its Cinematography, because while watching the film, I felt that I was watching an Hollywood film for Oscars, the scenes are so smooth, and the cinematography with grayscale effect drove my emotions making me feel what I think they want the viewers to feel, moreover the story was so interesting and unique, specially because Im curious about the days before like early 1950's. That's why I discovered to myself that they really are deserving for the awards that they have received, I believe this movie bagged all the major awards where it has been nominated.
