Di ako tagasubaybay ng mga pelikulang Pilipino partikular sa mga bagong nilalabas sa lokal na sinehan. Di ko kasi nagugustuhan ang mababaw na tema ng mga bagong palabas ngayon. Siguro't sa umpisa nagugustuhan ko sila dahil karamihan sa mga ito'y nakakatawa ang istorya pero iyon at iyon lagi ang tema sa nakalipas na dekada. Kaya siguro ako nagsawa.

Pero nag-iba ang pagtingin ko sa lokal na gawang pelikula nang ipalabas nila itong Heneral Luna!
Akala ko wala nang pag-asa pa magbago ang mga tema ng pelikulang Pinoy. Ngunit nagkamali ako at nabuhayan ako ng pag-asa sa ginawang pelikula nila Jerrold Tarog.

Screengrab from the Attack on Titan film trailer by Madman

If you watched and love the Shingeki no Kyojin anime or also known as "Attack on Titan", think twice before you watch the live film version in your local cinema. This is a friendly advice from me, an Attack of Titan fan.

Note: The next paragraph may contain spoiler and a lot of disappointment.
