Kubli (2011)

I have somewhat mixed reactions to this film. On the one hand, beautiful actors, naked bodies as it usually is in the Philippines (warm, hot, stuffy almost all year round, unless there is a monsoon or typhoon), the story is almost like from a red library (or a pink film library?). The music was also beautiful in the second part (as if I had already heard some passages). It was all good, including the fact that in the end Raffy also achieved his desire to get an education (you know, except for the Czech Republic and a few other countries, education has to be paid hard everywhere else).

But I was bothered by the illogicality of some small details of the story, which in the end didn't even have to be there, the naivety that I expect in Asian (Pinoy movies) was a bit too much for my taste here (adult Marco drowning again and Raffy saving him again), some strangeness in Marco's behavior.

But overall, a nice fairy tale with male beauty and an awareness of how simple people live in this island kingdom and a good feeling that on gaytitulky.info we can have more complex and comprehensive information about some films than on IMDb itself.
