For some reason I ended up here. Now, I think it's time to explore filipino films. I was wondering where can I watch old filipino films like the films from the video. Just to add, I don't know why, but I find the thumbnail in this video extremely visually pleasing. Thank you!

This is really interesting! I’m Filipino but most of my media intake is & was western movies. I wonder if there are any Filipino film recommendations for people who like gothic novels like Rebecca, Frankenstein or Carmilla (some of my favorites). The closest one I’ve seen to a gothic Filipino movie is a newer one called “In My Mother’s Skin”, which I really liked.

absolutely obsessed with this video!! my ate and i used to watch a bunch of filo classics when i was younger, and now that im back home on break from uni i might ask her to watch a few of these films with me! also, from one over-analytical filipina to another, you should open up a substack!! 😊

Oh my god thank you so so so much for this video! My boyfriend is Filipino, I've already introduced him to some movies from my country, but we haven't watched any Filipino movies so far. This list has given me some ideas for our next dates ❤

Love your work! 🫶✨I’d like to learn more about Filipino Cinema. Best wishes for 2025 from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺

The boys had no clue who the girls really were and showed no interest in knowing anything but their own fantasies.

5:04 I do find it interesting as a gay man that the only time we see men be able to vocalize that the best way to understand women is simply to talk to them, it comes from Trip's fathers who are, presumably, gay men, almost signaling that them inherently not seeing women as sex objects allows them to see them as humans and as such their approach to women is that of their approach to any other human. Their advice scene is painted as foolish and skimmed over, illustrating the boys ignoring this humane approach, when in reality they had the most empathetic and sensical advice: talk to them. Even when the younger boys try communicating with the girls, it's through morse code and flashing lights, so it's not about getting to know the girls, it's about the excitement of dancing around the topic of talking to one, without really saying or hearing anything. The girls are only left a mystery because they didnt care to perceive them as humans and didnt care to dig deeper into their psyche, which is consistently brushed off throughout the movie.

I think one of the mistakes was making Alicent Hightower the same age of Rhaenyra. For book lovers and protest the records of the Dance of Dragons is based on were written by Maesters and Mushroom both had their propaganda reasons to distort what really what happened. The Maesters are extremely anti magic and pro Hightower faction and why do you think that Marwin was considered persona non grata in 300 AC. Because any blood lines that have magic are a threat to the Maesters. Never trust a Maesters. The books paints Rhaenyra as a super villain because she is a threat to having a solely male premigon in succession. Meaning Maesters can't have women in power. Just because a woman gives birth to a child through a traumatic experience doesn't mean that she would automatically love them. This shown in the Show with Cersei Lannister talking about Robert Baretheon son and how she couldn't bring herself love him like her other children. The thing many male fans see that Alicent Hightower is what they expect because she is playing a role as a traditional woman with no agency and especially over her body. The fact Incels and extremely conservative men are trying to take agency from women about their own bodies and can't find any one that is willing to date them. Isn't really shocking at all. I suspect many women in the future would rather go childless and not being married at all if it means they don't have to give up their bodily autonomy. Alicent Hightower at the end of the day would rather live on her own terms and instead of marrying Viseyrus Targaryen.

Why does the audio keep cutting out wtf

So this is my boy version of penis envy? Concept made by a guy who is now considered a charlatan, and an idiot.

Don’t quote Freud. The man was a perverted cokehead with no validity to his opinions.

I’m not really a fan of Marie Antoinette(2006) for accuracy, but artistically, it’s very pretty. Marie Antoinette was a good person but only became a victim socially(not including those disgusting pornographic and xenophobic pamphlets in the years leading up to the revolution) during the revolution.

This video, the person who created it with such intelligent deep insight, the comments everything is pure gold.

Jesus loves you :)

When Trip asked Lux's father to take her out on a date, I was actually moved. The narrator made me believe that he is a sincere guy but after he had her, he just left with no words and he didn't even wake her up. He doesn't like HER, he just likes the challenge because as he said, she's not like the other girls who are interested in him. Getting her is more like a reward that he could brag about

Great analysis

i dont get this movie

Their symbiose as sisters can be seen as resistance of the outside world they never break free from dat "oneness" The suicide of the four sisters is a collectief action of the effect of their powerful emotional and psychological connection and response to parents behaviour at that fase of their age. Solidarity becomes a silent rebellion.

I like the detail of dismembering womens bodies in order to view them, in the book the boys notice how Cecilia's chest looks after she is impaled on the fence. In the face of a horrible death this girl is *still* a sexual object and a sad piece of poetry to these boys before a human being.

I was excited to watch the video, but got turned off by judging the characters from modern society's values. It wasn't unusual at all to be married at 15 and mother of 4 by 20 when most everyone dies around their 50s. I do wish that Alicent was more villainous, the writers have shit on one of my favs. I do like show Alicent though.

The fanbase vilifies Allicent horribly. Partially because, I feel, they put Rhaenyra on a pedestal and feel the need to pit women against each other when in reality they are both flawed. I saw people say she betrayed Rhaenyra by seducing her dad Viserys, as if she wasn't a child bride pimped out by her father. I also feel that even the writers were biased against her, trying to make her a scapegoat and villain in Rhaenyra's story. One of the writers said they based her off of "women for Trump" but even the Black women like Rhaenys and Rhaenyra could fit that bill too at times.

I've never cared about being understood, however i've always cared about relating to others; to know that there are others out there going through the same problems i am. It brings peace to know the experiences ive been through are experiences others have been through. It gives me the strength to overcome obstacles. I think our society puts too much emphasis on being understood (theres 8 billion people on earth, all living individual lives; it's impossible to understand everyone) and not enough emphasis on relating to others; real connection. I know we are all hurting in some way, but instead of festering in that pain and loneliness, we should be reaching out ourselves to others. I think if the people in the film did more of that then gossiping behind closed doors or obsessive behavior and treating people less than human just because they were in pain, fear, etc, there would have been a better outcome.

She wasn't a child bride you dumb ass. She married Viserys when she was 18 years old. Next time read the fucking book!

Bro, whether it's Brazil, India, South Africa, etc; some Gen Zs around the world have the thickest American accent it's wild lol

This just kind of brought me to another curiosity, whilst it’s not completely related to this, the fact that the boys basically had an obsession, without fully concepting why seems crazy to me, because I know myself and other females who have also maxed a man’s potential, and romanticized them who understand and have acknowledged that they ARE like that.. and idk I just found that interesting, and it makes me wonder if some people or even boys/men are or aren’t able to fully understand that they’re making up something about someone in their head. Idk if that made sense but yeah just had me thinking, this was a great video ❤!

I love Alicent but I wish more people understood what she truly is. Yes she is a victim, a child bride, survivor of marital rape, she birthed and raised children she never wanted and spent her whole life sacrificing herself for the men around her. But she's also a hypocrite. She shames Rhaenyra for having an affair but has one herself. She believes Rhaenyra will make a good Queen but opposes her on every turn. She claims she never wanted to hetray Rhaenyra but decided to go along with her father's plan anyway, choosing to lie to her best friend. During the finale of S2 she acted the way she always has. Hypocritically. Sacrificing the children she claims to love (and I'm sure she has loved to some extent) for her freedom. For the first time in her life she did something only for herself and I don't understand how people didn't see that coming. Loved her all throughout season 1 and 2.

whats the song in the intro 😫

I think its wrong to view Alicent through a modern womans perspective, bc in that she will always be the villian. Not one of these women in the show can be remotely called a feminist. And they shouldnt. I disagree so much with a number of points you made, but the toping of it all was that Alicent had a hand in the Dance, when it was the same idiot grapist king that should take all the blame. Also how dare she crown her son when that could save her childrens lives? Honestly, who cares for them? Nyra? No, she easily wanted Aemond tortured. Daemon? He hates the Hightowers. Its even more vile that Alicent at that point is the first queen whos pure Andal. Her son is half Andal on her side then. And hes also the first whos not heir. Honestly, i wished book Alicent. I wanted her absolutely vile in the time skip, bc she, of all people, deserves to rage.

I liked this. While I have sympathy for Alicent I have noticed most fans tend to strip her of any culpability for her hypocrisy and at times cruelty because of what happened to her. Yes she was abused by Viserys and emotionally neglected by her father but she also created such a toxic family for her kids instilling this hatred and disdain for their sister and nephews. Despite the fear that Rheanyra may kill them she goes out of her way to alienate them and basically ensures that when Rheanyra ascends she will to kill her brothers who have been told by their mother and the people she surrounded them with that Rheanyra is evil incanate. Mind you she has no reason to believe all this becse if she was trully afraid of Rheanyra she would not have been terrorising her all those years in the Red Keep.

Thank you for trying to 'defend' Alicent, but it's obvious you don't like the character because you don't really get her, but thank you for acknowledging her suffering at least, she's a truly fascinating character with a really complex trauma and if you look further into the show the clues to her character journey and the understanding she has of herself, her relationships and the world are there, she's the most introspective character where the battle is with oneself, she is a highly contradictory character. I think her downfall as a character is the public perspective and projection of how her character should be and how it breaks expectations (also she is a woman and females characters are more hated) Understand the context and the themes of the show, how Alicent (represed) character, being a complete opposite like a mirror of Rhaenyra (more liberated) brings to light in the show what's the comentary, what the show want to expose. It is not a question of justifying or defending her, she is a character not a real person in a specific context (medieval fantasy, in a court, religious, woman...) with a character arc, the vision where she is hated and blamed for everything (or analyzing her from a modern or real life moralism out of her context...) and the version where she is defended for everything (I support women's rights and wrong mentality) fall into the same one-dimensional vision which is so reductive, at the same time, rooting for the teams' dichotomies (which ironically the show's marketing encourages and the audience easily falls for) is the most uncritical way to engage with the show I've ever seen (which I find extremely funny). She is in a self discobery (depressed) moment and maybe that's her character arc discover herself and what she wants or maybe not but she is in a transiton. Also Haelena is more a reflection of herself and how she has betrayed her if you notice their situations end up being similar even though the context is different, she is her mothers daughter and share a similar faith that's why she has the need of protect her, disappear with her. Well, I'm not going to refute every point because I don't want to end up writing a very long essay.

Honestly, i think the show's approach is way more interesting. The villains in HOTD are way more dynamic and layered than GOT I can feel for them and understand their motives. In hindsight the villains in GOT are sort of bland, cartoonish even. There are people in the world who are evil evil, but it's really not that common. We luckily had Lena to give Cearsi in GOT depth.

This is well made, but keep in mind this is a show ONLY problem and her whole arc was ruined by the writers. Like in the books BOTH Alicent and Rhaenyra were EVIL they STOOD on Business. The show literally took all of their best characteristics and gave them to the men because God forbid women be allowed to be evil.

GOOD VIDEO 👍

Right cause it is so easy to "grow a spine" after childhood abuse in a time where it was horrible to be a woman. I bet you wouldn't be able to survive that era for all the grandstanding you're doing from your comfortable MODERN life. 😂😂😂😂 I do agree with you however that she should have been a villain and she does have the right origin story for it.

this is a well-made video, i liked the editing and the formats too. though i don't really grasp what you mean by her going evil, she already has been 'evil' through her actions so far (though not as much as mother cntress cersei i fear)

i needed an alicent supervillain arc like girl stand on business (being evil) pls 😩

Fuck censorship

The moment those boys glossed over Cecelia's diary, and one of them said im context that girls understand everything boys do and are, and yet they could not fathom girl, i was like:" bro, it's literally between yours hands".

5:30 Jeffrey eugenides is a brilliant writer (I read his book Middlesex) but he seems to have a weird obsession with teen girl sexuality

It is so interesting how the girls are an object of observation and infatuation troughout the story yet in reality their true selves and the world they live in remains unseen. It always saddens me how we as the reader never get to know them altough I know that is the point this story is making.

If you only see a person as how you want to see them as, how you think they are, you're never really seeing them as they are, only your idea of them. We, as people, make assumptions of others based on how they act, dress, talk, etc. but an important lesson from this movie is to realize that all human beings are just that human beings, not objects or playthings to be used as in fantasies.

i know this video is old but when we teach young women purity we should tell them that they are loved that they have power in their body and breathe they take that purity is a beautiful thing your body is sacred a temple and people who dont deserve to enter even if it is just one man is an empty feeling purity id having sex with men who allign with your values,beliefs,thoughts and when we teach them otherwise ultimately we are telling them that every man will look at them as a object and judge them as used or soon to be this give the opposite effect and is going to cause them to be way more promiscuous if you treat a dog like a cat thats how it'll behave. In short summary women are more than a vagina and a pair of boobs.

The football field scene broke me. Her not trying to pursue him is what made her interesting to him, once he got what he wanted, he just left her. Alone in the cold. Breaks my heart, and it hits too close to home. </3

[1:40]: Yep, exactly heck even youtuber who doing recap say they same thing like why did boys ask they girl what's up stuff like ...... "How's going" or "Is something wrong?" or "Are you hurt?". But sadly, never say stuff like this, sadly. 💔.

i fall asleep to this video now
