I'm one of the few who didn't read the book. Now you know why I was blown away by the ending. I didn't see the remake.<BR/>Re. Mario O'Hara, I never got to see many of his films. The only one which really made an impression on me was "Tatlong Taong Walang Diyos".Your post on coming-of-age films sparked my interest in his films though. BTW, the most memorable local coming-of-age film for me is Peque Gallaga's "Oro Plata Mata".Totohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07209264827598668676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33764672.post-1163717842268017572006-11-16T17:57:00.000-05:002006-11-16T17:57:00.000-05:00Hm.

The real thrill is wondering if she is crazy or not, or, even if the ghosts are real, if she's still crazy...<BR/><BR/>On Planet of the Apes--you mean the original? Because by the time of the remake, everyone knew the twist (the ones who didn't read Boulle's novel, that is).Noel Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904212081036547668noreply@blogger.com
