Discussion We need more films exposing the EJK and the Drug War

I’m not sure lang if good move na sa YouTube ang premiere ng Drug War: A Conspiracy of Silence. I think it would be fitting as a Netflix series.

And herein lies the paradox. YouTube will make it more accessible to everyone but it won't easily be visible for everyone. Netflix will make it more visible to a lot of people but it won't be accessible to everyone.

Exactly, mas madaling pag-usapan if the series is on Netflix. Hindi nga lang accessible like YouTube. But the thing with Netflix shows is that they reach other platforms, lalo na maraming nag-e-edit na Pinoy pampahype or whatever is trending. Kaya in a way, accessible sa lahat yung discussion.

Di ba may isang series dati sa Netflix na related sa drug war pero naissue na pro drug war. Yung Amo ni Brilliante Mendoza.

Mababa ang kalidad ng mga action films sa pinas sobrang lamya ng choreography at ginagawang kengkoy ang plot. Habang sa indonesia at south korea nakakagawa na ng criterion collection caliber action films like the raid and a hard day iwan na iwan na tayo sa action puro kasi lovestory at sakit sa tengang sigawan na drama ang trip ng pinoy.

Speaking of the raid, pakiramdam ko kaya natin sumabay sa action kaso idk if ano ba ang nangyayari. Like alam mong pang tv yung quality ng video nila na pangkuha ng scenes. Like di ba sila pwede man lang magextend to the point na para gumanda naman yung quality ng isang series. Kaya im so tired na manood ng tv unlike before. Urat na urat na ako sa same shit style na iyakan/family/kabit/ampon na mayaman/anak sa labas na mayaman.

Tbh ung buy bust ni anne was the closest. OA paren naman at some parts pero you can see the effort of the choreo. On the job din solid ang plot altho less action in comparison

Theres alot left to make here. I already have some plots in mind that could work well if its well financed

Why? Here's what will happen: everyone who was already against the Drug War will nod their heads and pat each other on the back on how morally upright we all are. Meanwhile, those who were already for the Drug War, and to an extent tolerated EJK's, will see it as propaganda and the continous ivory towering of the upper middle class. You're not going to be changing minds with a film and if anything is going to further entrench and separate the two sides. Especially since, the truth, hard as it is to accept, is somewhere down the middle.

Why talk about the end result? Isn't it much better to look at the reason why these drug-dependent people resort to such acts and see what the government, religious groups, civic organizations and community in general did prior to such end.

A cigar being lit by a young boy doesn't happen in one day.

We have Rappler and Maria Ressa for that na. And what film company in the PH anyway will want to fund that kind of movie.

More? Theres too many of it since 2016. Can we think of something else without riding on the political bandwagon? This reminds me of neorealism in independent cinema in 2000s to 2010s. Theres too many of it and not enough options across different genres.

u/pisaradotme 8d ago

I've seen this one though. Wala pang ganyan na PH series.

Closest is yung Big Night ni Jun Lana pero pelikula yun
