Good things I like about the film:
Great story about a rich family pre WW2 era, the tragedy and how they survived, the love story became an integral part of the film,
Things I dont like:
Too much sex scenes! I got confused why there were so many of them, I thought I was watching about "sex lives of Filipinos during Japanese occupation".
Sex scenes are sometimes are important, but it was over saturated and was a slow drag.
Some scenes were too long.
Camera angles were quite limited, they could have showcased other sceneries to show how peaceful life in the countryside is.
Verdict:
Definitely a must watch, I'm proud we have a film like this in the Philippines. Perhaps without the unnecessary long scenes this could be trimmed down to 2 hrs plus.
