It is the third film presented here by director Auraeus Solito and is completely different from his previous films. It starts with a long "chatty" scene, as if it were supposed to be a theater performance, the individual scenes are quite long, and I must admit that the booing, humiliation, machismo and sexism from the military environment never smelled good to me, because I hate it when "someone" has it in their hands too much, or if I should be commanded (not only in the army, but also in my job) by an even bigger idiot than I am.

Of course, the film raises questions and we have to answer them ourselves. The actors are "effortless" and I evaluate overall from the perspective of an East Asian viewer, because of course this movie has its own Pinoy perspective and dimension. Of the director's three films, I rate this one in third place.

Maskulinitas di dunia militer

Menceritakan tentang seorang atasan yang sangat maskulin, dia bahkan melakukan tindakan-tindakan "di luar batas" untuk membuktikan ke maskulinitasannya. Dari segi dialog, agak sulit difahami ya, alurnya campuran walaupun cenderung maju. Maksud dari film pendek yang satu ini memang bisa dimengerti, namun penyajiannya tidak terlalu bagus, durasinya terlalu panjang - one take shoot untuk film yang satu ini memang sangat luar biasa ya, para aktor bermain dalam satu stage tanpa cut scene dengan jangka waktu yang panjang itu membuat ketegangan yang luar biasa. Latar dalam film ini tidak terlalu berkesan, bahkan ruangan sang atasan hanya digambarkan sebagai penjara - menurutku film pendek ini berfokus pada "penggambaran" maskulinitas yang berkaitan dengan dunia lama yang sangat terbatas, beberapa kekerasan seksual mungkin muncul ya di film ini. Film ini juga menjelaskan bahwa "balas dendam" itu adalah sesuatu hal yang bisa terjadi dan dampaknya sangat luar biasa jahat dan tidak pernah terbayangkan. Dari segi warna, cenderung punya warna biasa aja ya tidak ada yang spesial, cinematography nya juga biasa aja. Saya tidak merekomendasikan film ini ; tapi jika anda berminat, tidak ada salahnya untuk menontonnya.
