Me and my mom watched "Mano Po 6: A Mother's Love" earlier. Mother Lily was right: the criteria of the MMFF in choosing the Best Picture was totally absurd. Ticket sales should never be a reason for judging the quality of a movie. The organizers should have realized that good movies seldom do get appreciated by moviegoers. No wonder the MMFF has lost its credibility.
But then again, movie producers should also be aware that people do get tired of the usual melodramatic themes in movies and are now looking forward to seeing more visually-stimulating masterpieces. But I would also like to ask the movie producers not to underestimate Filipino moviegoers. They should at least recognize that they cannot keep on feeding us with so much visuals with no sense at all. Producers should not undermine the importance of a good story. After all, moviegoers would not shell out their hard-earned money and troop to the cinemas only to feel shortchanged by movies which only has good visuals but with mediocre or crappy screenplay.
